Oh well, we definitely can't be friends now.

Yeah, Murray was hilarious. Great film to me.

I’d definitely nominate Double Team. Dennis Rodman and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Talk about shit.

. Probably because Hollyweird is making so many stinkers now that Tomatoes looks good now.

Apparently most people have a very different view of what makes a bad movie. I totally agree with most all of the movies listed as being bad being bad, but I have a couple of them that I consider really bad. And realize that I like all six Tremors movies. My list: Killer Klowns From Outer Space; Mosquito; Attack of the Killer Donuts. Yup, all three are actual movies. My wife and I found us watching them, and wondering why we couldn't stop. We figured out that we watched them only because we wanted to see how much worse the movie could get.

Forget Paris. Hands down.

I cannot speak authoritatively to what the worst movie of all time would be.

However....

While in my first year of college, I had a coworker friend named Joe McCoy. Joe and I loved movies and we decided that for an entire year we would see every film that was released (with the exception of X-rated films).

After the year was over, we both agreed that the worst film released that year was "Pretty Baby" starring Brooke Shields. A rambling, stilted, horrible story about a woman auctioning off her daughter's virginity. One of those films you wish you could unsee.

For years whenever anyone asked what the worst film I'd ever seen was, I would reply "Pretty Baby". I went to look it up on IMDB before writing this in order to check some details. To my anything-but-surprise, it took home an award from the Cannes Film Festival (Technical Grand Prize) and was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Song Adaptation).

It did, however, also win a Stinkers Bad Movie award that year - Worst Actress for Ms. Shields. That almost restored my faith in humanity.

I've heard the sequels are even worse. That's difficult to imagine.

Well, "There can be only one", so...

That is a damn good choice. I'm a JCVD fan but that movie was crapola.

This thread brought flashbacks of "The Silent Scream" (1979 film). I remember a pregnant girl trying to commit suicide by hanging herself and the audience laughing during the scene.
