I am happy to say that I don't have any of the titles mentioned in the previous posts, save one. Don't think I'll be picking them up either...
I get rid of most DVDs I don't like so I guess I'll say my least favorite that I still have is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which was part of the box set. Didn't see the movie when it came out because of the reviews. When I got the DVD set I found out that the reviewers years ago had been right. (Two hours of Kate Capshaw screaming? No thanks.)
The worst DVDs from a picture quality and sound aspect are the fourteen Sharpe's Rifles DVDs put out by BFS. Barely VHS quality transfers. But I like the series (with one exception: Sharpe's Gold) and the books from which they are adapted.

Possession (1981) with Isabelle Adjani & Sam Neill
I blind-bought it because some people thought it is good. I watched it with the fast- forward button pushed sometimes. I still couldn't finish it. Just want to threw it into the garbage can.

Shadow of the Vampire with John Malkovich and Willem Defoe. Boooorrrrring. It got decent reviews, and I bought it blind packaged with a bad-quality DVD of Nosferatu. I had a hard time getting through them the first time, and I know I will never ever watch either one of these again.
I collect TV sets, too, and I'm actually embarrassed that I have S1 of Lois & Clark. That show was just awful.

Okay, I have to revise mine. As bad as Dream a Little Dream is, I forgot I also own Firestarter 2: Rekindled which is bundled with the original in the "Franchise Collection." At least I can say DaLD provides some good laughs - Firestarter 2 has no redeeming value whatsoever.

Most people tell me it's "Deep Rising." But I don't have any movies that I truly believe are bad, or I wouldn't own them. Obviously not every film is a classic, but even crappy movies are worth watching if they're amusing, and I have quite a few of the "so bad they're good" variety.

"I Was a Zombie for the FBI".
This 80's late night tv staple (one of my faves) was rescored, chopped up into a faux serial, and added risible effects that completely undermined the intent of the original. George Lucas would be proud. I bought this used for 3 bucks and sill feel like I wuz robbed.

If you count every dvd in my collection then there is a quite a few. Most are dics that fall under the catagory of belonging to my kids. "Cat in the Hat", "Son of the Mask", "Baby Geniuses" and a few more are really bad.
And with this answer I may fall in the above catagory but I honestly am not trying to.
Terminator 2 is by far the worst film in my opinion that I have in my collection. I've seen far worst films but luckily i don't own any of them. The only reason I still own it is because it was a father's day gift from my oldest(little)girl. So as bad as the film is(IMHO) it is still a prized possession.
