This poll is now closed.
Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice to others and their potentially bad opinions. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Don't take this topic series too seriously. If you're going to change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Above rule is to stop someone like Uwe Boll from dominating the tally, although I am not sure how relevant he is anymore

The movies you nominate should be generally considered bad, so no, don't go nominating Titanic or whatever cuz "THERE WAS ROOM FOR BOTHA DEM ON DA DOOR!!!!!" I think my dad would say that. Don't be my dad.

If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down. The extended schedule is a work in progress and is not available at this time, mainly because you all had so many (non-Pokemon) good ideas.

YESTERDAY: Surprisingly a ton of fun to tally. It seemed that the top 4 would be Master Sword/BFG/Buster Sword/Keyblade for a long while until Blue Shell started picking up steam. We had a few people who nominated other Mario items flipping to Blue Shell which helped it get the tie.

There was some discourse about whether or not the Master Sword is "iconic" enough and I think that's the WTF answer for the week. We also had someone bring up Metal Gear and I think if that had been mentioned early enough it would have done well.

Shoutouts to the BFG which actually briefly lead over Master Sword and Buster Sword. Other than "FPS Mount Rushmore" I don't know what other Rushmores Doom would do so well in.

Fateful Findings
Madame Web

I have a semi-viral LB review on Epic Movie: https://letterboxd.com/zenofthunder/film/epic-movie/

Recency bias on Madame Web, see my (spoiler-filled) notes here: https://letterboxd.com/zenofthunder/film/madame-web/

I wanted bad superhero representation on here and I think Madame Web deserves it. I've seen mostly all major superhero releases in the past 25 years and Madame Web is the worst I've seen by far

Plan 9 From Outer Space
Showgirls
The Room
Cats

Plan 9 and Room are so bad they got entire movies made about how bad they were. Showgirls was so bad it killed an entire age rating in the US, and Cats is a modern bad movie classic. I still fondly remember when reviews came out for Cats, that was hilarious.

  • Plan 9 From Outer Space. When you have other movies made about the production and director of your film, there's a good case to be made for your inclusion.
  • The Room. See above.
  • Manos: The Hands Of Fate. I don't think it's the worst movie MST3K ever did, but it's probably the "general public" favorite.
  • Highlander 2: The Quickening.
HMs: Jack and Jill, Battlefield: Earth.

The Room
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Cats
Batman & Robin

The Room and Plan 9 are obvious picks. Cats because I feel like a modern/current movie should be included and it's the best choice there. Batman & Robin because I feel like there should be at least one movie that was big enough that people watched before it became known as a "bad movie".

Manos: The Hands of Fate
Troll 2
The Room
Foodfight!

Manos has been my favorite bad movie since I first saw it 15 years ago. It was made by a fertilizer salesman on a bet with an established screenwriter, that he could create a feature-length film from scratch with no prior experience, and it shows - every facet of the movie is a haphazard mess. All the dialogue was dubbed in post because they used a hand-crank camera that could record 30 seconds of soundless footage at a time, little-to-no thought was put into the direction/cinematography/lighting, and the editing/storytelling is very disjointed and nonsensical at times. Still, I find it endearing that the "filmmaker" did actually win the bet, and the performances by the actors playing the villains give the movie a lot of charm. Clearly the guy playing 'The Master' has some actual acting chops (maybe the only one in the movie), and Torgo is maybe the best-worst villain ever, with a musical theme consisting of 4 notes on a loop. Classic moments include a cop "investigating" a disturbance by walking 5 feet into the background then returning, and the wife claiming "it's getting dark" in broad daylight. Also made for one of the best MST3K episodes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yAvPMoHrcE

I think it'd be interesting to see it remade as a "serious, good" movie that's still a little self-aware and pays homage to the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W59ZF2AbboE

Troll 2 and The Room compete for most quotable bad movie, as well as most consistently funny. Like Torgo, the main villain Creedence Leonore Gielgud is incredibly bizarre and unintentionally hilarious. The popcorn scene..............defies reality:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NThrk6C-pKE

Many classic lines such as "You can't piss on hospitality!", "Nilbog.....it's GOBLIN spelled BACKWARDS!", "Eggs.....PHUH!", and "They're eating her......and then they're going to eat ME.......oh my GODDDDDDDDDDD." Also the use of Joshua's grandpa as a spiritual guide is delightfully strange. I urge anyone who's seen it to check out the documentary "Best Worst Movie," it's a fascinating retrospective, catching up with many of the actors 20 years later.

I feel like everyone knows The Room, and rightly so, so not much to add there.

I went with the 3D-animated Foodfight! as my final and most recent choice after some brainstorming. Released in 2012, it's one of the most notorious examples of a misappropriated film budget. They somehow got an A-list voice cast, who recorded their lines about a decade before the film came out, then very suspiciously "lost" all their "good" animated sequences, and had to throw together something that looks like it was made by a middle-schooler in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker. Mr. Clipboard (voiced by Christopher Lloyd) is a sight to behold:

Plan 9
The Room
Troll 2
North

I originally had Manos the Hands of Fate in the last spot but I feel you need at least one iconically bad "mainstream" movie, and North I feel is a good pick as any. Ebert's review of it is one of the rare iconic reviews for a movie at least. At the very least I feel Plan 9, The Room and Troll 2 are non-negotiable.

Movies I feel must also must be mentioned: Robot Monster, Birdemic, The Last Airbender, Batman & Robin, Cats 2019, Jack and Jill (literally swept the Razzies.). All of these would probably go over North.
