At the same time, it's a lot easier to hate something that other people love, because if you think a film is completely mediocre, then its popularity can be baffling. That's why movies like Napoleon Dynamite are so polarizing. On the other hand, most people are completely ambivalent towards Pootie Tang and The Master of Disguise, because they're bad movies that almost everyone recognizes as such.
However, even this reasoning has its limits. People who name The Godfather (for the movie, not the transfer) or Donnie Darko are just trolling and/or allowing a gut reaction to a movie overwhelm their critical judgment.

Nazi zombies, the occasional gratuitous nekkid ladies scenes, all set in a European village, what's not to like?! Oh was I wrong.

Not sure what the worst movie in my collection is - I like the movies in my collection, but the worst DVD, by far is my public domain copy of Meet John Doe. Brutal. A great movie that got no attention on DVD - it really needs a proper release.

Just looked through the list.
The absoulte worst is Blood Bath. It's one of those 10 movies in a single box thing. Someone gave it to me. This is one big fat turd.
Of the ones I bought, I'd have to say 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag. I didn't find any humor in this movie at all. Hated it from start to finish. It was a blind buy...think I paid around $4 for it.

For worst per $, easily the CC release of The Rock.
For just plain worst all around, probably A Polish Vampire in Burbank.

Batman & Robin.
Damn box set.
Most people would probably say Police Academy 2/3 Double Feature. But I can't help it. I like the Police Academy movies. That disc was worth every penny of the $7 I paid for it.

I thought I would have nothing to add to this thread since I regularly clear out DVDs that I no longer want, then I remembered 'Die Another Day'. The main reason I have it is because it seems stupid to have every other Bond DVD except that one. There is no trade-in value for it either. I liked it in the theater, but a repeat viewing on DVD was much worse. Strangely, I liked DAD much better in the theater than the other Brosnan Bonds, but I have enjoyed those much more watching them again on DVD than I did in the theater. DAD does have some pretty good spots, so I'll probably watch it again someday and cringe through the iceberg CGI scene.
