am of two minds of this. on the one hand some movies are terrible but ultimately fall into the "so bad its good" category, and then others are just plain bad and there's nothing redeeming about them. like you can at least laugh and enjoy some bad movies that are incomprehensible (e.g., Troll 2, The Room, Plan 9, anything by Neil Breen, Nukie, DBZ: Evolution) but there's others that are just are dull, awful, or killed things. to that end:

Cats
Showgirls
Jack and Jill
Avatar the Last Airbender

Cats, especially the original version before they redid the CGI, is just a visual and auditory abomination. i can't think of anything it did well and it's just genuinely awful. the novelty of so, so many stars in it exists but it's worn off by just how terrible the movie is, how long the movie is, and it just stays bad. the only enjoyment here is making your friends suffer.

Showgirls is an iconic bad movie in that it fails at being sexy despite the amount of boobs, it fails at being a drama despite the attempt of one, it killed careers, and it succeeded at destroying the NC-17 rating that once existed. somehow, despite having things that should be enjoyable, it just... doesn't. just something very awkward instead.

Jack and Jill because there's bad Adam Sandler movie and then there's this. dull, tedious, boring, there genuinely might not be a worse movie on aspects of things that make me feel like i'm wasting my time.

Avatar is the one i'm least sure of because there's some humor to just how godawful it is, especially compared to the source, but it's also an incomprehensible mess that leaves you more confused. like at least the live action DBZ movie had some kind of laugh to how stupid it was, ditto for Saint Seiya, Avatar doesn't even get that really. but there might well be a worse one that doesn't have something redeeming.

Zens review of Epic Movie is incredible, but isnt Disaster Movie supposed to be even worse? Seems the main difference is that Epic Movie was somehow commercially successful while Disaster Movie wasnt so make of that what you will!

I screwed on this one too long, so I'm going to just post my votes immediately so I get them in before the topic closes, and then I'll post my explanations afterward (lucky you all).

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Dragon Ball: Evolution
South Beach Academy
The Shadow Man

This is a difficult topic because my answers vary wildly depending on how you define terms. Are we talking the worst films that nevertheless might be in some way be enjoyable to watch for how bad they are? Or are we talking the most uninteresting, worthless films, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever? Wanglicious went with the latter, but I chose the former. Perhaps because I don't want something like Freddy Got F*ngered carved into even a hypothetical mountain!

Plan 9 from Outer Space is not the worst film I have ever seen. It is not the worst Ed Wood film I have seen (and I've only seen like five). It is probably not the worst film that anyone who has watched a significant number of films has watched. It is however a very entertainingly bad film. It tends to dominate worst film lists because it's interesting to talk about. For decades, cinephiles have preferred showing their friends who want to see the worst film ever something they can all have a fun time laughing at and mocking rather than some unmemorable dreck that will leave them all bored. Ed Wood is at least a man with his own distinct style. That distinct style make suck eggs, but it is a distinct style nonetheless.

Anyway, if you think you're so smart, just try to meet Criswell's challenge and prove that the events of this film didn't happen, in the past. To which you might point out it was Criswell himself who said, "Future events such as these will affect you in the future." But that's clearly because the events of Plan 9 are too momentous to be bound by petty concerns like time and space.

In Dragon Ball: Evolution, Chow Yun-Fat's performance is Muten Roshi is so much fun. I actually prefer him over the original character! This is the platonic ideal of a good bad movie.

South Beach Academy is actually a pretty terrible and skeevy film all around, but I do enjoy James Hong's performance very much. Hong was clearly having fun enjoying the freedom that a terrible film can allow, as when his gangster character menacingly orders 500,000 bananas for no reason. I also enjoy when Al Lewis calls him "a liar, a cheat, and a total sleazebag" and asks what he thinks that's going to get him, to which Hong coolly replies, "My own talk show."

Shadow Man is a crappy Steven Seagal film. I'm sure there are many, but this is the one I've seen. My favorite moment occurs in an early scene when Seagal is training his students in a dojo. One of the students earnestly says to Seagal, "Sifu, I was very impressed when you broke the watermelon. Can you give me a lesson?" Seagal agrees, then demonstrates the technique again by knocking the poor guy through a wall! This film also features Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter) as an evil CIA agent and Steven Seagal blowing up a helicopter by shooting it with a pistol.
