Thousands of readers of the magazine “Empire” participated in the survey “The worst movie of all time”, and the final result was a list of these 10 movies
10. The Room is a 2003 independent film written and directed by its star, Tommy Wiseau. Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over $7 million on production and marketing for the film and failed.
We all loved Avatar, Hangover and other top movies from 2009, but what did we actually learn from those movies? Check it out here, its hilarious
Somehow I have a hard time taking this seriously.
Top 10 worst movies of the 2000s, maybe, but certainly not all time.
Where are “Manos: The Hands of Fate”, “Robot Monster” and “Plan 9 From Outer Space”?
Sure, Mr.Freeze’s cheesy ice puns are enough to make anyone cringe, but worst movie of all time? Hardly.
you forgot street fighter: the legend of chun-li. good lord, that has got to be the most disgraceful, inconsistent and utterly banal production i’ve ever seen.
it’s almost as if they didn’t care about an accurate portrayal of the worst films ‘of all time’
They didn’t even accurately portray the worst films in the last few years.
This list is ridiculous
btw, Batman and Robin was worth it just to stare at Alicia Silverstone’s costumed rump
How is robocop 3 not here?
HOW?
I would have added The Hangover to this Top Ten. It’s so dumb, I lost interest before the halfway mark. I don’t care how much money it made. I would rather watch Batman & Robin if I had to.
Batman & Robin —–> I love that movie.
Lol, you guys must be bad tasters. It was the only Batman movie that made me find the BATMAN just like the comic book character.
Just see “301”. You will understand what are Worst movies better.
what about (heart beeps from 1981) and (xanadu from 1980) simply awful big budget films
Agreed re: Batman and Robin. I particularly hate that movie because I went to see it on my birthday when I was alone on a trip and I had to walk out in the middle, it was so bad. Some birthday treat. But what about America’s Sweethearts, with John Cusack, Julia Roberts? THAT was a shitty movie.
These aren’t the worst movies of all time I am a fan of the batman movie and highlander films. The list is totally wrong, the worst movies should include basic instinct and spacejam both pointless movies.
for me the worst movie I’ve seen are “After the Sunset” and “Lady in the Water”!!!!!!!!
This is a terrible review. I haven’t seen any of these movies, but they and people reading this deserve better than just some random typist saying “worst ever! don’t watch!” At least describe something about them that made yo u think they’re awful.
Some people’s comments made me laugh so hard… thank you for that… that Troll 2 comment… oh my god…hilarious
now way, loved Batman and Robin as a kid. I don’t care how bad it is in the eyes of hardcore film cats, it appeals to the youngens of the 90s.
I used to work for a movie theater where I saw all kinds of awful stuff (Kull the Conqueror w/Kevin Sorbo, anyone?), but at least I could walk out of the theater saying, “Well, at least I didn’t pay for it.” Batman and Robin was the only movie that I ever regretted seeing for free.
Add The Last Airbender to that list.
I don’t really get why Batman and Robin is listed the worst movie ever. It’s cheesy as hell for sure, but there are far worse movies overall.
You are all stupid look how you rate the worst movie ever you all say ” This was the worst movie I have ever seen” see right there “SEEN” you dip shits vote from eyes.. If this was fact then all the damn land before times would be on my top 10.
But the 10 worst movies of all time this list is just a joke plane and simple. Movies have been around for a long time and not a single movie past 1980 made the list odd.
Want to see a bad movie? go watch santa muscles.
MARS ATTACKS!!!!!
Somebody is forgetting the first Street Fighter movie! Skinny ass Blanka, a short Sagat, Jean Claude Van Damn’s accent?!! The list doesn’t stop!
drama queens lol
I would have seriously included Twilight, Alien Vs Predator: Requiem, Skyline, Unborn, Oscar, Stop or my Mom will Shoot, and Highlander 3 in the list.
Epic Fail. So many people seem to make the worst movies of all time based on movies they have seen or movies f a certain era. I have seen way worst movies then the ones listed here. It should be, Top 10 not quite worst movies of all time.
to be honest i actualy LIKED Battlfield Earth. and the love guru was actualy pretty funny. the happening was ok though i may not watch it again it weirded me out so much. and batman and robin? FRICKIN EPIC!!!!!!!!!! chris odonnel and george clooney? pretty good team up i say
Last Boy Scout could be on this list, and has anyone seen an Indian movie called Lagaan?! Now that sucks!
The Tim Berton Remake of Planet of the Apes is the worst movie ever made… and it didn’t even get on the list. Sad.
BATMAN FOREVER was much worse. BATMAN AND ROBIN was memorably bad, because there was stuff to look at. BATMAN FOREVER’x badness is forgotten because people just slept through it. Ask people who was even in it.
there’s some crap here but the number of movies that out crap these is absolutely and positively staggering. that said, I do have to admit to sitting through Battlefield Earth no less than 3 times… for some reason I just can’t turn it off, I know it sucks but I some how seem to enjoy the crappieness of this piece of poo over and over and over…
also, anything Highlander kicks ass, just cuz it does.
Howard The Duck and Pootie Tang should be on this list. Not just awful… god awful.
All three Star Wars prequels and Return of the Jedi absolutely belong on this list.
It should be noted that TheForever already mentioned this, but the list is made by taking a poll. The movies listed do not represent the author’s opinion. Secondly, I agree with most of this list. Though I did enjoy Battlefield Earth, until I read the book.
Really? Loved the campy Batman movie. But Battle Field Earth is, without a doubt, the WORST MOVIE EVER!
This is the NUMBER ONE worst movie of all time –> Battlefield Earth.
What seems to be a little known fact is that the director of this stupendously awful movie worked for George W. Lucas for many years, including Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999).
He was hand-picked by Lucas to direct the second unit during EP1.
His name is Roger Christian and he directed Battlefield Earth.
I saw Battlefield Earth with a few hundred people and the mastermind behind the movie, Travolta.
GWL welcomed John Travolta (and buddy Roger) with open arms, letting them land on the ranch with a helicopter, from which John, Kelly, etc., stepped into a limo and were driven to the screening just a few hundred yards away.
As Travolta put it, “please be kind to me.” He got a golf clap at the end. That’s all we could muster.
The whole event was funny and over the top. The attention paid to Travolta was in inverse proportion to the quality of the movie.
But it was very important that we not LAUGH while Travolta was in the area. We were to be good little boys and girls and not offend our guest. And this is very hard to not do when you are looking at rubber fingers bouncing in front of your face!
At best, Battlefield Earth is an over-the-top bomb. Watch it for a great laugh, preferably under the influence of something.
IMHO, American Graffiti was GWL’s last great film.
Why no Dark Knight ?!
Worst movies of all time? Worst movies of the last 30 years, maybe, but then again, maybe not.
Where is:
The Dark Knight
AGnomeNamed Norm
Laserblast.
…and hundreds of others that make (most) of the above list look brilliant by comparison. Best to avoid the “of all Time” thing alltogether.
You did get Battlefield Earth, that’s important
The forty year old virgin who knocked up Sarah Marshall and felt super bad about it was the worst crap ever
Check out Big trouble in little China now that’s the worst
The Stupids, Dumb and Dumber and Dumb and Dumberer …i cant believe they are not on this list…I’ve seen Batman and Robin, Battlefield Earth and Love Guru and those three are a million times more watchable and entertaining then the crap i suggested…my IQ actually dropped from watching The Stupids and Dumb and Dumber…i added the sequal because…well…im a bad movie racist i guess…never watched it and never will but it just has to be bad…like pet detective 1 and 2…both bad…just very bad…
How is Batman & Robin in this list but House of the Dead isn’t? I mean sure Batman & Robin was terrible, but not bad enough to land on #1 or this list. House of the Dead is far worse than anything the world of movies has thrown us next to any of the shit Seltzer & Friedberg have done.
Ridiculous list. The Happening is my favorite Night Shyamalan movie because it has suspense, a good twist and an interesting storyline and acting. If Lady in the Water is superior to the Happening, this world is doomed for. Like somebody else said, people vote for bad movies they’ve seen but there are many worse movies. However, the Happening is an amazing movie.
I find Battlefield earth to be an underrated movie.
Not good, but not bad either.A hillarius, funny and cheasy SciFi movie.
Far from the worst movies i have seen:
4: Quantum of Solace
3: Casino Royale
2: Sunshine
1: Life of Brian…. just why!
OMG, I can’t believe “The Happening” was listed here. I actually liked that movie. :-/
Also, they need to replace “The Happening” with “Splice”. That would B a smart move.
Son of the Mask is not bad. People just say it because maybe Jim Carey wasn’t there. But it’s good.
I didn’t like Half Past Dead 2. The people in the film were not using their heads. I’d say both the villain & the hero were stupid.
Whoever voted for these films hasn’t experienced some of the truly, monumentally AWFUL films that have been made:
The classic Plan 9 from Outer Space, which is fun to watch because it’s so hilariously inept.
Manos the Hand of Fate, which was voted by Mystery Science Theatre 3000 viewers as the worst ever, and these are folks that know horrid films
Ator the Fighting Eagle, which had only Miles O’Keefe’s buffed magnificence to save it — the rest of the film was so bad that, when the film broke at the screening I attended, we in the audience started shouting out our own dialog ….
Those are just a few. I am also in the camp with those that liked Batman and Robin. Yes, it could have been better and much less overblown, but it does have some very good moments, and I can’t say I was disappointed. Everyone’s taste is different.
But the readers of Empire magazine really need to broaden their horizons — there is a larger world of dreck out there.
Even as we speak, the war crimes trial for the producers, writers and director of Battlefield Dearth is being planned.
wait a second….they forgot one….they need to add The Last Airbender, right up there with The Happening, Shayamalan can’t direct for shit!
And no, I don’t give a shit if you don’t like the fact that I hate M. Knight Shayamalan and his shitty movies.
imo, worst movie ever would be Birdemic: Shock and Terror http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1316037/
trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgAbVfh6WYg
but it looks so hilariously terrible that it could actually be worth seeing
Battlefield Earth was about a 2 on scale of 1 to 10, in other words not a very good flick. I have seen much worse though which makes me wonder if part of the problem was that Scientology, a strange “religion” at best, was being critiqued also either consciously or otherwise. In the early 80s a Korean War film called “Inchon” was savaged by the media also and like Battlefield Earth was not very good but better than some. The problem with Inchon was that it was likewise produced by a distasteful religion(the moonies) and likely again the religion as much as the film was being critiqued. Human nature being what it is, these things are going to happen, but i have noticed in recent years films put out by “mainstream” religious orgs have likewise been receiving negative reviews pretty consistently. An interesting trend to follow because of what it might subconsciously be implying about cultural perceptions in a wider sense by a predominately secular humanist media……..
