A new candidate for dumbest/worst film ever is yet another schlocktacular from the Asylum, Night of the Wild. Meteor falls to earth outside a rural hamlet in California's Central Valley, grants local canines heightened intelligence and an insane lust for human blood, hilarity and mayhem ensue.
This film would have just been bad if not for a scene in which we see two little kids being torn limb from limb on screen as they scream and sob for their mother. That alone took it from 'bad' to 'vile'.
That said, the rest is your typical utter stupidity from the Asylum. No one has any intelligence at all, people do deliberately stupid things just so the dogs can tear them apart, but the end tops it all: The last group of survivors escapes in a plane and flies a hundred miles away to another town. On the way in they call the control tower for permission to land and we hear them get a response telling them to land.
They land, walk away from the plane... and we see that everyone in the town has been killed by the rabid dogs, right before the survivors die. IF THE DOGS KILLED EVERYONE, WHO WAS IN THE CONTROL TOWER?

Not to be mistaken for Night of the Comet, which also involves a meteor and weird changes, and is terrible but *awesome* at the same time.

So I just ripped through this list of drek and was surprised to *not* see some...
'Class of Nuke'em High Part 2: Sub-humanoid Meltdown'
'From Beyond' (Spent too much time trying to tie it to things that weren't even story elements in the original short story -- BDSM? WOT?)
'Dracula' (Keanu Reeves played a part in it, I *think*?) Fell asleep during it at the show.
And a couple that have been mentioned already...
'Star Wars Episode Two: Attack of the Clowns Clones' Fell asleep during the really bad failure of 'romantic' scenes, would wake up for the action ones.
'Starship Troopers' (Would have been AWESOME if they'd spent the money on the *suits* rather than having a bunch of folks playing 'Laser Tag' with CGI Bugs.)

You got through all ten pages? Good job.
The last airbender was an abomination. I had a friend who claimed no movie was so bad he couldn't watch it. That is until I showed him that piece of filth.

Starship Troopers came out at the same time as Lost in Space.
Of the two, there were more powered battlesuits in Lost in Space. That's just criminal.
Of course Starship Troopers topped the charts in 'Giant Beetles Farting Plasma across Interstellar Distances'!?!?. I had to go manually roll Heinlein over in his grave.

There was one very gross one but kinda bad-good that I forgot the name of. Bunch of people were trapped in a bar by monters and most get killed off, including a kid whose subtitle was 'Of course he lives.'
Feast, which I honestly like as it's a good satire of "people trapped in enclosed space with monster"
The sequels are complete mean-spirited pieces of @$@% that I can't even enjoy for "so bad it's good reasons" They certainly deserve recognition here.

Two movies:
For most recent - Dudes and Dragons. Sometimes a movie fails at being a parody and this one failed spectacularly . I'm not certain what they were going for exactly, but it takes itself to seriously to be funny. It's like someone had an awesome idea, but the director wass too stoned to make it work.
For Worst of All Time - Star Knight I collect WTF movies specifically for the purpose of making fun of them and this is the crown Jewel of my collection. Some facets:
1) It's a love story between an alien who can't touch anything and a princess - it must be some kind of love at first sight kind of thing because they don't (and can't) really interact directly
2) The hero (our alien friend) actually does everything expected of the villain including beating the crap out of the knight but gets the girl because it's the 60s and reasons
3) Character development is for losers. The setup is for people to learn lessons, but the entire cast stubbornly refuses to learn any
4) The movie ends with the introduction of a glowing cat. No explanation as to why the cat is glowing or what the F that means. Just a glowing cat

that's proof that heinlein also thought the movie was kickass.
Cuz it was.
Get on the bounce, trooper.

While there's a lot of good options listed above
(and some inexplicable ones) my all time worst is:
The Girl on a Motorcycle.
If you haven't seen it, don't, it can't be unseen.
Bad purple prose overdubbed internal dialog over a hour and a half motorcycle ride, that occasionally breaks into psychedelic color pattern swirls.

Not to be mistaken for Year of the Comet, which is an extremely dull movie about a bottle of wine.

The worst recent movie I can think of is Pacific Rim. I was recently reminded of it when I decided to watch some of the Special Features DVD. This is my response immediately afterward:
Del Toro claimed he was trying to create a completely original kaiju and mecha movie inspired by the anime of his youth. He reinvented the wheel and created something like Neon Genesis Evangelion. The characters are unlikable and unrelatable. The setting blows chunks and is unbelievable. I could not connect with the characters, situations or the setting of the movie when I watched it. It is not a great movie. It’s not even a good one. It’s a science-fantasy-based action movie, no more, no less. I could like it for being that, that's all.

Don't get me wrong I thought it was very funny but it was really, really dumb.
"I hacked them" is a great answer for any question. :P

Ah thanks! I like that the old lady at the end went 'Screw it, I'm getting drunk.' and went out sloshed out of her mind.

Pacific Rim is probably one of the funnest movies I have seen. I can forgive so much from a big budget movie that includes a giant robot rocket punching a giant monster in the face.
Man people really haven't seen anywhere near enough bad movies if they rank that as a worst movie.
Good heavens THIS...
I've said it before, but there is a WORLD of difference between 'Worst movie ever filmed' or even the more generic 'sucked' and 'It wasn't as good as I expected' or even 'I was disappointed with it'.
When I people complain about how much Daredevil sucked... or Iron Man 3 sucked... I just remember back to Steel and Catwoman... THOSE movies sucked. Highlander: the source sucked... and actually one i'd nominate for 'worst movie ever...' Not a single bit of dialogue/fight/wpecial effect was salvageable from that show.
Pacific Rim? I enjoyed that quite a bit. I went in with the intention of seeing a giant robot beat down a giant monster while swinging a Freighter ship.... I totally got what "I" wanted out of it. :D
I've seen some threads where if a movie didn't surpass it's predecessor in every single way... then it was the worst movie ever. O.o
Boggles my mind.
I have a shelf full of bad movies... and movies so bad their fun... and a lot of movies so bad I can't justify buying them. Most of the movies that have hit theaters in the last decade... really don't rate the kind of hate they get...

You mean like every Melissa Mccarthy movie, ever?
I really... REALLY dislike her. The worst part of her movies, is that they are SOOOOO close to being AWESOME. Spy had serious merit... Identity Theft was an awesome concept and I LIKE Jason Bateman... I really wanted to enjoy those shows.
Mccarthy however??? Everything she said and did was as Raunchy and foul as they could make it... and it brought both movies down with her.
REALLY wanted to like ID theft... :'(

Once you have seen "The Room" or watched a decent number of MST3K episodes, it gives you a lot of perspective :)

They want to be parody movies. But there is a huge gulf in quality between a good parody movie like Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, or Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and the epic crap fest the Wayans put out. Hell, even the Wayans can do better parody movies than that garbage, as shown by I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka!

Well, Mel Brooks makes it look easy, but it really isn't. I mean, in Young Frankenstein he had Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman*, Terri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, and Kenneth Mars, and that's not a trivial amount of acting talent to throw at even some of the smaller parts.

putting the Wayans up against Mel brooks is like having a little league player up against A-Rod. It's not fair in the slightest.

Which would be fine if the kid hadn't run onto the field and demanded to be put on the roster with the big-leaguers.

Swiss Army Man which stars, of all people, DANIEL RADCLIFF (Harry Potter!).
The entire movie is about a crazy stranded guy talking to a dead body that twitched and farted nearly the entire movie and seemed to be sporting an erection at some points.
That's not a joking review either, that's pretty much the plot in a nutshell. Some indie movies like Swiss Army Man may have people that love them but, just like Old Yeller, need to be taken out back and shot for everyone's health and well-being!

again, a truly unfair take. in living color remains an *amazing* tv show, ditto my wife and kids. The wayans bros. Tv show was okayish, if dated (now painfully). They just can't do movies(although they relish the freedom, fox was a harsh company to work with back in the day), despite the above average-ness of Sucka and how much I liked the first scary movie.

To each their own. I never found the Wayans funny.

Besides, as I said, the Wayans can put out entertaining movies. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka may not be Major League, but it's at least Triple-A.
That was decades ago...
On a funny side note Fifty Shades of Black is getting a better RT score than Gerard Butler's double winter terror run of Gods of Egypt and London has Fallen :)
