The only movie I have ever walked out of was pretty awful, BATS.

Troll 2 is the worst movie ever.

Manos, Battlefield Earth, and Plan 9 are all close behind.

I was thinking Cat in the Hat. I got drug to that one by kids in the family, it was pure pain. I don't usually watch movies that I know I'll dislike. I have seen Plan 9, it's at least bad enough to be entertaining. Cat was just bad.

I can't really say what the absolute worst ever is, but the worst I've ever seen is a tie between Lost in Space and Batman & Robin.

But see part of my intense malice towards it is I was actually looking forward to it. Yes I actually wanted to see it and willingly shelled out money opening weekend. I really liked Grinch and thought they did a spectacular job turning a beloved book into a magical movie but they just totally scat on the cat in the hat. So yes I am a bit bitter about it.

While I thought Blair Witch Project was just terrible, it doesn't even come close to the worst movie of all time, Eye of the Beholder. I mean WTF?!? Anytime I talk about bad movies, everyone tends to agree that this one tops the list.

You know what's funny about this? I own Eye of the Beholder because my wife is in love with Ewan McGregor (and I don't mind lookin' at Ashley Judd). It's a really, really bad movie, but she really likes it. So I sit with her about once every 6 months and watch it with her. It's hard, but I just concentrate on AJ.

The 3 movies I've seen that were so horrid I wanted to run screaming from the theater and rip my eyes out were Toys, Battlefield Earth, and Dead and Loving It.

If I had to choose, I'd pick Battlefield Earth.

Did anyone mention "Dreamcatcher"???

I actually watched it and couldn't believe that peeps like Morgan Freedman and Tom Sizemore could make a worthless piece of crap like that. I mean it was so bad and the acting was so horrid, I am not sure how in the wide world that got a wide release.

I mean it was worse than a bad tv movie which that is all it was meant for. Not even good enough for straight to video.

The dialogue was so laughable that I simply sat there completely in awe that it was actually coming from the screen (tv). I mean honestly. It is like gawking at a disfigured animal on the street...you are so put off by the atrocity that you simply can't help to look away. That is how I felt.

And Duddy turning into a big duty monster to fight the other duty monster...whole crap (pun intended) those were the worst effects or should I say body suits!

I know it is from a best selling Stephen King novel, but couldn't they at least used some of his words or imagery correctly!Unbelievable!

Anyone else?

I voted for Space Mutiny.

Just awful.

Science Fiction flick that uses special effects shots from Battlestar Galactica. A commander that looks like Santa Clause. Outfits that look like it came from "Disco's R Us". They have a hilarious chase at the end where they chase each other in little golf cart looking things with a ladder on back. These things go about 5 miles an hour and its just hilarious. And the inside "lower" levels of the ship looks like it was shot in an abandoned factory or something.

My other choice would be a movie with Mark Paul Gosselaar, called Specimen. He's an alien offspring that can start fires and another alien comes back to get him. This other alien comes back just like the Terminator. Naked he gets leather outfit and wears sunglasses. Then in the final showdown, they battle each other by not fighting hand to hand, but by causing explosions around each other. Just terrible.

Popeye, starring Robin Williams is easily in the top 10. The whole thing is just a mess- Popeye muttering so you can't understand what the hell he's saying, and those songs!! "I'm mean (he's mean), if you know what I mean" indeed! I usually like bad musicals, but this is just plain torture.
I hated The Grinch too, but surprisingly saw Cat in the Hat and didn't think it was that bad, though I understand people's reasons for hating it.
