Reefer Madness (originally released as Tell Your Children and sometimes titled or subtitled as The Burning Question, Dope Addict, Doped Youth, and Love Madness) is a 1936 American
Pacific Standard wrote that Reefer Madness was "one of the first films ever to be considered transcendentally bad"[1] and Leonard Maltin has called it "the grand-daddy of all 'Worst' movies".[6] Las Vegas CityLife named it the "worst ever" runner-up to Plan 9 from Outer Space,[7] and News.com.au considered it a "disastrous flop turned cult classic" due to its "terrible acting and exaggerated drug-addicted stereotypes".[8] Natalli Amato of The Daily Dot included Reefer Madness on her list of the best worst movies, writing that it "may be one of the worst movies of all time for the fact that it accomplished the exact opposite of its intended goal" by becoming a cult classic among stoners.[9] Leafly's Danté Jordan also wrote that it may be "the worst movie of all time", criticizing its many inaccuracies regarding marijuana use and calling it "easily one of the most uncreative and tone-deaf pieces of anti-cannabis propaganda".[10]

The Babe Ruth Story (1948)
The Babe Ruth Story is a 1948 baseball film biography of Babe Ruth, starring William Bendix, Claire Trevor and Sam Levene.[17] The New York Times describes it as "the Plan 9 from Outer Space of baseball biopics".[18] It was rushed into release while Ruth was still alive. One infamous scene features Ruth promising a dying child that he will hit two home runs. The child is subsequently cured of his ailments after Ruth delivers on the promise.[19]
No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948)
No Orchids for Miss Blandish, a British gangster film adapted from the 1939 novel by James Hadley Chase, received a very hostile reception from the press. This was mainly due to the film's high (for the time) level of sexual and violent content, but also because its attempt to portray Americans using a largely British cast (including an early role for Sid James)[28] was seen as unconvincing.[29]
The British film journal
Cliff Goodwin, discussing No Orchids for Miss Blandish's initial reception, notes it was "unanimously dubbed 'the worst film ever made'".[28] Later reviews of the film were equally antipathetic. No Orchids for Miss Blandish was described by British film reviewer Leslie Halliwell as a "hilariously awful gangster film ... one of the worst films ever made".[30] Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide states that No Orchids for Miss Blandish "aspires to be a Hollywood film noir and misses by a mile."[32]
1950s
Glen or Glenda (1953)
Glen or Glenda starred Ed Wood as Glen, a transvestite who cross-dresses as Glenda. Wood also directed the film. After a dream sequence, Glen undergoes psychotherapy to help "cure" him of his transvestism.
Leonard Maltin wrote that Glen or Glenda was worse than Wood's later Plan 9 from Outer Space and considered it "possibly the worst movie ever made".[6] Julien Allen of Reverse Shot similarly wrote that it was "widely considered to be an atrocity" and "the most catastrophic failure of [Wood's] singularly bad career".[33] Richard Barrios described Glen or Glenda as "one of the funniest and worst movies ever made".[34]
Robot Monster (1953)

The Conqueror (1956)
Howard Hughes funded The Conqueror, an epic film featuring John Wayne as Mongolian chieftain Genghis Khan and the redheaded Susan Hayward as a Tatar princess. The movie was filmed near St. George, Utah, downwind from a nuclear testing range in Nevada, and is often blamed for the cancer deaths of many of the cast and crew, including Hayward, Wayne, Agnes Moorehead, Pedro Armendáriz, and director Dick Powell.[40] In addition to filming near the testing range, truckloads of the red sands were transported back to the studios for interior scenes[41] and by 1980, 91 of the 220 (over 41%) cast and crew members had been diagnosed with cancer.[42]
The film made the ten-worst list in The Book of Lists,
Hughes, one of the world's wealthiest people at the time, had previously produced the successful dramatic films Hell's Angels, Scarface, and The Outlaw.[47] After viewing The Conqueror, Hughes bought every existing print for $12 million and refused to let the film be seen on TV until 1974, reportedly out of guilt over the decision to shoot at such a hazardous location.[48] This was the last film Hughes produced.[41]
Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956)
Fire Maidens from Outer Space, a low-budget British
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)
It holds a 66% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 38 reviews, with the consensus stating that it is "justly celebrated for its staggering ineptitude".[63] Phil Hall of Film Threat contends that the film is "far too entertaining to be considered as the very worst film ever made",[64] and Kim Newman states that, "The worst thing you can say about a film is that it's boring, and Plan 9 is a fairly entertaining movie."[57] Although Flavorwire included it on its list of the 50 worst movies ever made (in the 50th spot), writer Jason Bailey described The Golden Turkey Awards's assessment of it as "a label that stuck" and opined that he did not think it was even Wood's worst film.[13] Likewise, John Wirt of The Advocate goes as far as to call it "the ultimate cult flick",[64] and Videohound's Complete Guide to Cult Flicks and Trash Pics states, "In fact, the film has become so famous for its own badness that it's now beyond criticism."[65] Barber credits Plan 9's cult following to the film having some "halfway decent" elements, such as the film's title and screen presence of actors Tor Johnson and Maila Nurmi, while film historian Rodney F. Hill considers the film to be a "campy, cult masterpiece" with a "minimalist avant-garde aesthetic".[59]
1960s
The Creeping Terror (1964)
The science-fiction/horror film The Creeping Terror was directed, produced, and edited by Vic Savage (under the pseudonym A.J. Nelson or Arthur Nelson,[66] but kept his name when credited as an actor). The movie is about a large slug-like alien that lands on Earth and terrorizes a small town in California.[67] The film is memorable for its use of some bargain-basement effects: stock footage of a rocket launch played in reverse to depict the landing of an alien spacecraft, and the "monster" appears to be composed of a length of shag carpet draped over several actors. Notably, the creature's victims inexplicably stand perfectly still as the slow-moving monster approaches them.
A documentary directed by Pete Schuermann about the making of the film, The Creep Behind The Camera, was released in 2014.[69]
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)
The sci-fi movie Santa Claus Conquers the Martians was the creation of TV director
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964)
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (sometimes billed as The Incredibly Strange Creatures) is a 1964 American monster movie written and directed by Ray Dennis Steckler. Steckler also starred in the film, billed under the pseudonym "Cash Flagg". In the film, three friends visit a carnival and stumble onto a group of occultists and disfigured monsters. Produced on a $38,000 budget, much of it takes place at The Pike amusement park in Long Beach, California, which resembles Brooklyn's Coney Island. The film was billed as the first "monster musical", beating out The Horror of Party Beach by a mere month in release date. The music critic Lester Bangs wrote an appreciative 1973 essay about Incredibly Strange Creatures in which he tries to explain and justify the movie's value: "This flick doesn't just rebel against, or even disregard, standards of taste and art. In the universe inhabited by The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, such things as standards and responsibility have never been heard of. It is this lunar purity which largely imparts to the film its classic stature. Like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and a very few others, it will remain as an artifact in years to come to which scholars and searchers for truth can turn and say, 'This was trash!'"[81] The 2004 DVD The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made listed this film as the worst film of all time.[82] Time Out and Flavorwire included it on their respective worst film lists.[83][13]

The movie includes dialogue spoken while all characters are facing away from the camera, a character complaining about it getting dark while the sun is brightly shining, and the character Torgo, a satyr with overly large thighs, that three women attempt to massage to death.[90][92][93] The film gained notoriety and cult popularity by being featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000,[94] and was the show's most popular episode.[90] The film has a rare 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[95] and Entertainment Weekly says the movie is "widely regarded as, quite simply, the worst movie ever made".[90] Even Warren himself would later admit his film was one of the worst ever, suggesting it might make a passable comedy if redubbed.[96] The film was later restored[97] and released on Blu-ray in 2015.[98][99]

Bat Pussy (unknown, possibly 1973)
A loose spoof of the 1966 Batman television series cited as one of the earliest examples of a pornographic parody film, the presumably-1970s pornographic film Bat Pussy has been described as the worst pornographic film ever made due to "some incredibly unarousing sex and a general attitude of awfulness".[106][107] Possessing no credits or copyright information, there is no known record of Bat Pussy's existence prior to the mid-1990s, when it was discovered in the storeroom of an adult movie theater in Memphis, Tennessee, and subsequently released on home video by exploitation film distributor Something Weird Video. Gawker Media's io9 proclaimed the film to be "the absolute nadir of pornography, period. Not just Batman-themed pornography. ALL pornography", deriding its "obese redneck" cast as rendering the film "wank-proof".[108] PornParody.com, a website dedicated to pornographic parody films, acknowledged its status as "the worst adult movie of all time", describing Bat Pussy as "renowned for its technical ineptness and anti-eroticism" due to its "physically unappealing" actors.[109] AV Maniacs contested Bat Pussy's categorization as pornography on the grounds of the lead actor's visible impotence and instead labeled the film "anti-porn", asking "How else do you categorize an adult film that completely and utterly fails to elicit even the minutest amount of arousal in its viewers?"[110] The book The Many More Lives of Batman by William Uricchio and Will Brooker also labeled Bat Pussy "the worst porn film ever made", criticizing its poor adaptation of the source material.[111]

CNN later noted that it had attained a legacy as being "the worst musical extravaganza in Hollywood history",[137] and Jay Cocks has said the film was "regarded as the great white elephant catastrophe of its time".[136] Lester J. Keyser wrote that it was "justly included on most lists of the ten worst films ever made",[138] as it was included in Michael Sauter's The Worst Films of All Time, The Golden Turkey Awards and Vanity Fair's worst film list.[139][140][5]
Bogdanovich lamented being influenced by studio previews to cut the film before its theatrical release. Unbeknownst to Bogdanovich, a studio editor who preferred the director's first cut constructed his own based on the test screening version that he once had access to. This version subsequently aired on cable TV and streamed on Netflix in place of the theatrical cut. When news of this reached Bogdanovich, he contacted Fox and made a few finishing touches, resulting in a better received director's cut that debuted on home video in 2013.[141][137]

I Spit on Your Grave (1978)
I Spit on Your Grave became controversial for its graphic violence and lengthy depictions of gang rape.[156] It was initially unable to find a distributor until 1980 when it received a wider release. Luke Y. Thompson of the New Times stated, "Defenders of the film have argued that it's actually pro-woman, due to the fact that the female lead wins in the end, which is sort of like saying that cockfights are pro-rooster because there's always one left standing".[157] Critic David Keyes named I Spit on Your Grave the worst film of the 1980s and James Livingston wrote in The World Turned Inside Out that it was "a terrifically bad movie".[158][157] Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club called it "one of the era's most abhorrent pieces of exploitation trash"[159] and Patrick Naugle of DVD Verdict stated, "It's one of the most soulless, vile, and morally reprehensible things I've ever had to sit through."[160] Roger Ebert gave the film no stars, referring to it as "A vile bag of garbage ... without a shred of artistic distinction," adding, "Attending it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life"[161] and considered it the worst movie ever made.[162][163] Gene Siskel also considered it one of the worst films ever made.[164] Film Racket featured it as their first entry in to their "Worst Movie Ever?" series,[165] while Vanity Fair and Flavorwire included it in their worst film lists.[5][13] Despite the intense negative reception from some critics, the film has a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[157] with IGN critic R.L. Shaffer arguing that whether the film is repulsive and exploitative or ingenious depends on what the viewer wants from the movie: "Admittedly, I Spit on Your Grave is a gruesome, deplorable little exploitation picture that, on the surface, seems to enjoy its rape sequences just as much, if not more, than the vengeance-filled finale. But on a more subtle level, the film is a surprisingly well-executed revenge story that plays like a brutally raw nerve – a terrifyingly stark view of the real horror of rape, painted by bizarre, skewed cinematography, gory violence, and a keen sense of creeping atmosphere and dread."[166]
Caligula (1979)
The 1979 erotic/historical drama Caligula, directed by
Caligula also received strongly hostile reviews from critics, who denounced its extreme scenes of sex and violence and lack of narrative coherence.[169] Roger Ebert gave Caligula a zero-star rating, dubbing it "sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash", accusing it of being artistically vulgar in its depiction of sex and violence, and of having technically incompetent direction and structure.[169] It was one of the few films Ebert ever walked out on (two hours into its 170-minute running time), after describing himself as feeling "disgusted and unspeakably depressed".[169][170] Ebert also placed it on his "Most Hated" list and Michael Sauter selected it for The Worst Movies of All Time.[171][172] Australian newspaper The Age stated that Caligula was being "billed by critics everywhere as one of the worst films ever made".[173] The Hamilton Spectator later referred to Caligula as "possibly the worst movie ever made".[174] Joe Holleman, in an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch discussing historical films set in Ancient Rome, argued, "two of the worst movies made in the 20th century were ancient Rome pieces ... Cleopatra and Caligula".[175] Christopher Armstead, reviewing Caligula for the website Film Critics United, stated, "Dollar for dollar, this could very well be the worst movie ever made."[176] In 2011, Sean Bell of PopMatters wrote of its enduring legacy: "in the same way much of our attention-deficit civilisation may go through life vaguely aware that Citizen Kane is a masterpiece without ever seeing it, ... we know that Caligula is awful, usually without ever finding out for ourselves."[177]
1980s
Heaven's Gate (theatrical version, 1980)
The Western epic Heaven's Gate, loosely based on the Johnson County War in 1890s Wyoming, was plagued by massive cost and time overruns, largely due to director Michael Cimino's extreme attention to detail. He demanded 50 takes of at least one scene and refused to start shooting for another until a cloud he liked rolled across the sky. It cost over $44 million, but brought in only $3.5 million at the box office.[178] The original version ran at nearly four hours, but was pulled from release after only one week due to scathing reviews. It later resurfaced in a 149-minute version, but by then the damage was done. The film effectively ended not only the existence of United Artists as an independent Hollywood studio (its parent firm sold the company to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where it operated until 2019), but also, largely, Cimino's career; initially considered a director on the rise after directing The Deer Hunter (which won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director), his reputation never recovered after Heaven's Gate.[46] The production is also notorious for the cruelty to animals that occurred both on screen and on site, including deliberately killing a horse with explosives.[179] The controversies surrounding Heaven's Gate's failure are credited for having a role in ending the "auteur period" of the 1970s, with studios subsequently taking control back from directors.[46]
Despite the vicious reviews, the film's reputation improved over time.
The Apple (1980)
The Apple (also called Star Rock) is a 1980 science fiction musical comedy film written and directed by Menahem Golan.[193] It stars Catherine Mary Stewart as a young singer named Bibi, who, in a futuristic 1994, signs to an evil label named Boogalow International Music. It deals with themes of conformity versus rebellion, and makes use of Biblical allegory, including that of Adam and Eve and the rapture.[194]
Common criticism from both reviews that appeared in trade publications and major news outlets and the audience were a lack of originality,

Despite the reviews at the time,[235] the film was a box-office success, grossing $39 million worldwide on a $5 million budget. It has a 50% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 46 reviews. The site's consensus reads, "Mommie Dearest certainly doesn't lack for conviction, and neither does Faye Dunaway's legendary performance as a wire-wielding monster; unfortunately, the movie is too campy and undisciplined to transcend guilty pleasure".[236]
Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saves the World) (1982)
The Turkish science-fiction adventure Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (also commonly known as Turkish Star Wars) was directed by
Jos Kirps of ArticlesBase called it "The Worst Movie Ever", and stated, "There are many bad sci-fi movies, and for many years movie addicts even considered Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space the worst movie of all times. But Plan 9 is still a pretty good movie when compared to Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam."[240] Sabah called it the "world's worst film".[241] Hürriyet described the film as "sitting on the throne of the king" when compared to other "so bad it's good" cult films.[242] Toronto Standard called it a "dollar-store Star Wars" and compared it to the works of Ed Wood.[243] When it became apparent that the film had inspired an enthusiastic international cult, a sequel, The Son of the Man Who Saved the World (Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam'ın Oğlu), was shot in 2006 and featured many returning members of the original cast and crew.[244] The film was included on Time Out's 40 Best Bad Movies Ever Made list.[83]
Howard the Duck (1986)
Produced by
Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 15% based on 48 reviews, making it the lowest-rated
It was featured in Empire's poll of the 50 worst films ever made,[185] and Screen Rant and Vanity Fair have included it on their worst film lists.[256][5] The negative reaction to the film took its toll on the cast, who found themselves unable to work on other projects as a result.[257]
Over time, the film has remained a source of fascination and developed "a small, but loyal fanbase."[258][259][260] Howard the Duck has appeared in several Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and series beginning in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy, in which he was voiced by Seth Green.[261][262]
Ishtar (1987)
Ishtar was written and directed by
The film has since become a cult classic.[271] Ishtar has seen a minor critical re-evaluation from some critics like Richard Brody,[265] and directors Quentin Tarantino, Edgar Wright, and Martin Scorsese have praised it in interviews.[272] Gary Larson, who initially lampooned the movie in The Far Side, said he regrets writing that cartoon because he based it solely on Ishtar's reputation, and that he enjoyed the film when he later watched it. To date it is the only cartoon he has publicly admitted to regretting.[273] Defenders argue that the studio did not back May, resulting in a public relations disaster before it was released in theaters.[263] Joe Queenan compared the film to another comedy film considered the worst, Gigli, and wrote that although it was considered one of the worst films ever made at the time of its release, it "has several comic moments" and does not get worse on subsequent viewings, unlike Gigli.[184]

Much of the film's content is said to be inappropriate for children, its intended audience. Throughout the movie, the Garbage Pail Kids steal, get in fights, bite toes off people, flatulate in people's faces, threaten others with switchblades, urinate upon themselves, and run over cars. In addition to scatological behavior, the movie has several scenes that feature sexual images, violence, and drinking. Offended parents launched a nationwide protest of the movie that successfully resulted in the movie being withdrawn from circulation.[293] The shortened release contributed to the movie's poor gross of only $1,576,615.[294] It was nominated for three Razzies at the 8th Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Visual Effects, Worst New Star for the Garbage Pail Kids collectively, and Worst Original Song.
Hobgoblins (1988)
Hobgoblins, by Rick Sloane, is widely considered a low-budget knock-off that capitalizes on the popularity of the 1984 film Gremlins.[295] It gained popularity in 1998 after being featured on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. MST3K writer Paul Chaplin later commented on Hobgoblins, saying, "Oh, man. You have no idea the torture it was to watch this movie several times in the space of a week. It shoots right to the top of the list of the worst movies we've ever done." Specific points of the film that were lampooned were the extreme misogyny and atrocious treatment of women; the film's technical incompetence and repetitive scenes; its asinine, poorly conceived plot; its dreadful acting; and its ugly look and gratuitous vulgarity, particularly in regards to its characters and subject matter.[296] David Cornelius of DVD Talk stated, "There's not one aspect of this movie that isn't the Worst Thing Ever."[297] After seeing the MST3K episode himself, Sloane was inspired to direct a sequel, which was released in 2009.[298]

Troll 2 (1990)
Despite its title, Troll 2 does not feature any trolls (the antagonists are actually goblins) and has no relation to the original 1986 film, which was also poorly reviewed (Troll 2 was produced under the title "Goblins", but the title was changed by American distributors).[322] NPR reports that it is "known as the worst movie of all time"[323] while The A.V. Club calls it "a popular candidate for the worst film ever made".[324] Rumsey Taylor of Not Coming to a Theater Near You opined that it was "one of the worst films I've ever seen".[325] Ken Hanke of Mountain Xpress gave it one-half star out of five, and stated in his review, "There are movies that are bad. There are movies that are so-bad-they're-good. And then there's Troll 2—a movie that's so bad that it defies comprehension."[326] In addition, TV Guide proclaimed that "Troll 2 is really as bad as they come."[327] Nearly twenty years after its release, the movie's child star, Michael Stephenson, made a documentary about its production and fanbase titled Best Worst Movie, released to critical success in 2009.[328] The bad acting and dialogue have become notorious for their camp value; the scene in which the character Arnold (portrayed by Darren Ewing) yells that he will be eaten next has become an Internet meme.[329]
Highlander II: The Quickening (theatrical version, 1991)
The French-British film Highlander II: The Quickening is a sequel to the 1986 cult film
In 1995, the film's director Russell Mulcahy made a director's cut version known as Highlander 2: Renegade Version and then later released another version simply known as Highlander 2: The Special Edition for its 2004 DVD release. The film was reconstructed on both occasions largely from existing material, with certain scenes removed and others added back in, and the entire sequence of events changed. The reconstructed film's reception was far better than the original's; it was elevated to a mixed reception.[335]
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
The first
In addition to scathing reviews, Super Mario Bros. was a box-office bomb, and Morton and Jankel were "blacklisted" as directors in Hollywood.[338] In a 2007 interview, Hoskins said: "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Bros. It was a fuckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots."[343] In a 2011 interview, he was asked, "What is the worst job you've done?", "What has been your biggest disappointment?", and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" His answer to all three was Super Mario Bros.[344] The film made Nintendo wary of licensing its works to film studios,[345] and it did not license Mario again until it collaborated with Illumination for The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023).[338] Seth Rogen, who voiced Donkey Kong in the 2023 film, called Super Mario Bros. one of the worst films ever made and what "made me realize that movies, like, could be bad. That never occurred to me until that moment."[346]
North (1994)
The Rob Reiner film North is an adaptation of the novel North: The Tale of a 9-Year-Old Boy Who Becomes a Free Agent and Travels the World in Search of the Perfect Parents by Alan Zweibel, who also wrote the screenplay and has a minor role in the film. North, which stars Elijah Wood in the title role and also marked Scarlett Johansson's film debut, was a critical and commercial failure, earning only $7,138,449 worldwide despite its budget of over $40 million. It was widely criticized for its plot, its all-star cast of insensitive characters, lack of humor and portrayal of numerous ethnic stereotypes (especially Alaskan Inuit). It has a 14% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes.[347] Roger Ebert gave it zero stars and, in his review, infamously wrote, "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."[348][349] He continued saying "North is a bad film – one of the worst movies ever made",[350] and it is also on his list of most hated films.[171] Both Ebert and Gene Siskel named North as the worst film of 1994.[351] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said in his review that "North is director Rob Reiner's first flat-out failure, a sincerely wrought, energetically made picture that all the same crashes on takeoff. It's strange and oddly distasteful, at its best managing to be bad in some original and unexpected ways."[352] Richard Roeper named North as one of the 40 worst movies he has ever seen, saying that, "Of all the films on this list, North may be the most difficult to watch from start to finish."[270] The film was nominated for the following awards at the 15th Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Bruce Willis, also for Color of Night), Worst Supporting Actress (Kathy Bates), Worst Supporting Actor (Dan Aykroyd, also for Exit to Eden), Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay (Andrew Scheinman and Alan Zweibel).

The Scarlet Letter (1995)
A "freely adapted" version of the 1850 romantic novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, directed by Roland Joffé and starring Demi Moore and Gary Oldman.[362] The film met with universally negative reviews[363] and was a box-office bomb, grossing $10.4 million against a production budget of $46 million.[364] Multiple critics named the film the worst of 1995.[365][366][367]
Chris Hicks of the Deseret News argued that its deviation from the source material represents "Hollywood's arrogance in its purest form".[365] The Washington Post's Amy E. Schwartz reported that the "nutty" film was described by numerous reviewers as the worst they had ever seen.[368] Kevin Williamson of National Review observed a "combination of awfulness and inexplicability", and claimed that "any objective and authoritative analysis will reveal that the worst film ever made is Demi Moore's version of The Scarlet Letter".[369] Sadie Trombetta of Bustle wrote that it "has earned an almost permanent spot on every 'Worst Movie of All Time' list",[370] while author Libby Fischer Hellmann noted that it is "widely cited as the worst film adaptation ever made".[371] The film was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry Awards, winning "Worst Remake or Sequel". Furthermore, Roger Ebert placed the film on his "most hated" list.[171]
Bio-Dome (1996)
The 1996 comedy film Bio-Dome focuses on two moronic stoner best friends, played by Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin, who accidentally get trapped inside of the Bio-Dome owned by Henry Gibson, a hermetically sealed ecological system, after mistaking it for a mall while looking for a bathroom.
For MTV News, Eric Snider wrote in 2008 that "nothing can account for...the movie Bio-Dome, which is–and I do not make this assertion lightly–the worst crime ever perpetrated against humanity throughout all of recorded history". Snider went on to call it "quite bad" and "certainly one of the worst comedies" he had ever seen, criticizing Pauly Shore's performance as unfunny and the film's writing as stupid.[372] Syfy Wire's Cassidy Ward described Bio-Dome as "one of the best-worst movies of all time", stating that its plot "strains credulity", while Jon O'Brien of Inverse called it "one of the worst movies ever made" and wrote that it "has nothing to offer but unconvincing pratfalls...tumbleweed one-liners...and some unashamed sexism, too".[373][374] It was described as "almost unwatchably awful" and "a baffling piece of work" by Charles Bramesco of Uproxx, who wrote that it was a "perennial contender in the battle for the title of Worst Movie Ever".[375] The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin wrote, "Critics and audiences alike found the Bio-Dome to be an abomination unto the Lord, an affront to the gods of cinema, and also a very bad movie, bad enough to be considered the gold standard of crapitude in Shore's oeuvre," noting that it had the lowest Metacritic score of any movie, with 1 out of 100.[376] Bio-Dome was named one of the worst movies of the 1990s in a poll conducted by RiffTrax.[377]
Kylie Minogue, who starred in the film as oceanographer Petra von Kant, called appearing in the film the worst decision of her career.[374] For his performance in the movie, Shore won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor at the 17th Golden Raspberry Awards, tying with Tom Arnold for his performance in Big Bully.[378]
Batman & Robin (1997)
Batman & Robin is a
As of June 2017[update], review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 11% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 89 reviews, certifying it "Rotten" with an average rating of 3.7/10, and the critics' consensus: "Joel Schumacher's tongue-in-cheek attitude hits an unbearable limit in Batman & Robin, resulting in a frantic and mindless movie that's too jokey to care much for."[379] By comparison Metacritic collected an average score of 28/100, based on 21 reviews.[380] Michael J. Nelson, of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame, wrote of the movie in his book, Movie Megacheese, "Batman & Robin is not the worst movie ever. No, indeed. It's the worst thing ever. Yes, it's the single worst thing that we as human beings have ever produced in recorded history."[381] Batman & Robin also came in first in an Empire poll of the 50 worst films ever.[185] Joel Schumacher apologized to disappointed fans on the 2005 DVD release of Batman & Robin.[382] In 2021, Clooney stated that he refused to let his wife watch the film, saying, "There are certain films I just go, 'I want my wife to have some respect for me'".[383] Clooney however would reprise his role as Bruce Wayne from the film in The Flash in 2023.

Fatal Deviation (1998)
Fatal Deviation is often credited as being the first martial arts film to be filmed in Ireland. It stars martial artist James Bennett and Michael Graham, who is best known for being a member of the boy band Boyzone. The Irish Post and Den of Geek write that it is a mainstay of worst film lists.[398][399] Luke McKinney of Cracked.com called it the worst film ever made, writing: "There are so many things about making a movie that Jimmy doesn't know, that you could replace film school with this movie alone--just screening it once for students and asking them to list all the things it did wrong. Anyone who doesn't write 'everything' instantly fails."[400] The Irish Post named it the worst Irish film of all time,[398] the Irish Independent wrote that it is "regarded as one of the worst films ever made" and Comic Book Resources called it " one of the worst commercial movies ever made".[401][402] Entertainment.ie placed it on its list of "10 So Bad They're Good Movies You Need To See Before You Die" and it was covered in Paste's Bad Movie Diaries column.[403][404]
Parting Shots (1999)
The British black comedy Parting Shots was the last film directed by Michael Winner. It starred rock musician Chris Rea as a man who, after being told he has only six months to live, begins murdering people who have wronged him. Andrew Collins took a very negative view of the film: "Parting Shots ... is going to set the course of British film-making back 20 years. It is not only the worst British film produced in this country since Carry On Emmannuelle (quite a feat in itself), it is a thoroughbred contender for the crown of Worst Film Ever Made."[405] In an interview about the film, Charlotte O'Sullivan, the Independent's film editor, claimed Parting Shots was "the worst film I've ever seen". O'Sullivan also criticized it for glorifying vigilantism: "It's Michael Winner and you know, he doesn't have any sense of irony. He seems to be saying it is okay to go and kill people."[406] The journalist Miles Kington later claimed "Parting Shots ... was directed by Michael Winner and despite the glittering cast, was possibly the worst film ever made."[407] I. Q. Hunter listed Parting Shots as one of the candidates for "the Worst British film ever made".[52] Parting Shots was also featured in a poll of Empire magazine readers' "50 Worst Movies Ever" poll.[185]

Battlefield Earth (2000)
Battlefield Earth is based on the first half of L. Ron Hubbard's novel of the same name, and stars John Travolta, Barry Pepper and Forest Whitaker. Although a sequel covering the second half of the book was planned, the panning from critics, poor box-office performance, and financial ruin of Franchise Pictures killed off such plans. It was criticized for a poor script, hammy acting, overuse of Dutch angles, repetitive dialogue, and several inconsistencies and plot holes. The movie's producer, Franchise Pictures, was later forced out of business after it emerged that it had fraudulently overstated the film's budget by $31 million. It has a 3% rating at Rotten Tomatoes,[416] where it is included in the top 100 worst-reviewed movies of all time.[330][417] Roger Ebert predicted that the film, "for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies".[418] Ebert also wrote, "The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why".[418] It is also on his "most hated" list.[171] Nathan Rabin covered the film as part of his My World of Flops column for The A.V. Club, calling it "a fiasco that occupies a distinguished place high atop the pantheon of widely reviled crap" and said, "A legendary disaster well before it finished completion, Battlefield Earth hit theaters with a "Kick Me" sign on it so massive it could be detected from outer space."[419]
It won seven
The movie appeared on Metacritic's list of the all-time lowest-scoring films,[289] and is on the Movie Review Query Engine's (MRQE) 50 Worst Movies list,[424] as well as worst film lists from Screen Rant, Vanity Fair, Flavorwire, Digital Trends and the New York Daily News.[13][256][5][425][426] Empire named it the second worst movie ever made after Batman & Robin and The Register listed it as the worst movie ever made.[185][427] Pepper and Whitaker both expressed regret for their involvement in Battlefield Earth, while film screenwriter J. David Shapiro later apologized for making "the suckiest movie ever".[428][427]

The comedy film Freddy Got Fingered stars
Freddy Got Fingered was nominated for eight awards at the 2001 Razzies, and won for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst On-Screen Couple.[439][440] Razzies founder John J. B. Wilson called it "offensive, stupid and obnoxious" and said it had "no redeeming value".[439] Green accepted his awards in person, traveling to the ceremony in a white Cadillac, wearing a tuxedo and rolling out his own red carpet to the presentation. The movie has an 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[441] In 2010, the film was nominated at the 30th Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Picture of the Decade,[421] though it lost to Battlefield Earth.[442] Freddy Got Fingered also appeared on Metacritic's list of the all-time lowest-scoring films,[289] was featured in Empire's list of the 50 Worst Movies Ever poll,[185] and is on the MRQE's 50 Worst Movies list.[424]
Glitter (2001)
Starring Mariah Carey[445] in the lead role as an aspiring singer in 1980s New York City, the romantic musical drama Glitter was intended to be her breakthrough role but was a critical failure and a box-office bomb. Hindustan Times claimed that Glitter "was slammed by almost all critics for being the worst film ever".[446] Fade In stated that "Glitter isn't just one of the worst music-themed films ever — it's one of the worst films ever made, period."[447] Author Bob McCann wrote in Encyclopedia of African American Actresses in Film and Television that it's "rightfully in the running as one of the worst films ever made".[448] News.com.au,[449] Hi,[450] Flavorwire,[13] Screen Rant,[256] Vanity Fair,[5] Metacritic,[289] and Empire are amongst those who have listed it as one of the worst films ever made.[185]
Glitter received six Razzie nominations, and Carey won for Worst Actress.[451] It was also featured in The Official Razzie Movie Guide, and in 2005, it was nominated for "Worst Musical of Our First 25 Years", but lost to From Justin to Kelly. In an interview in 2010, Carey stated that she believed that the film's failure at the box office was largely due to the soundtrack being released the same day as the September 11 attacks.[452] It has a 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 87 reviews.[453]
Swept Away (2002)
A remake of a 1974 Italian film of the same name, the romantic comedy film Swept Away was directed by Guy Ritchie[189] and starred his then-wife Madonna and Adriano Giannini. It received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with most of the criticism going towards Madonna's bad acting, the original film being considered superior and the remake being considered just a star vehicle for Madonna.[455] Rex Reed of The New York Observer said: "If there is one thing worse than a Guy Ritchie movie, it's a Guy Ritchie movie with Madonna in it."[456] Newsday critic John Anderson said, "New ways of describing badness need to be invented to describe exactly how bad it is."[457] Joe Queenan of The Guardian discussed the movie in an article on what makes a movie the worst of all time and said, "[...] Showgirls has a certain campy allure that grows a bit each time I see it. Madonna's Swept Away doesn't; it seems more amateurish on each viewing, like a morass that starts out as a quagmire, then morphs into a cesspool and finally turns into a slime pit on the road to its ultimate destination in the bowels of Hell."[184] Julie Burchill, also from The Guardian, selected it as her pick for the worst film ever made.[143]
Swept Away was also a
The Master of Disguise (2002)
The comedy film The Master of Disguise was produced in part by Adam Sandler and stars Dana Carvey as Pistachio Disguisey, an undercover Italian waiter who must save his father Fabbrizio (James Brolin) from the evil Devlin Bowman (Brent Spiner) by using his inherent skills in disguise. Although the film was a box office success, it received scathing reviews from critics upon its release, many of which pointed out its sophomoric plot, unfunny humor (in particular, its flatulence gags) and disguises that would clearly not be recognized by children (such as Tony Montana from Scarface). Many critics also pointed out the short running time, consisting of 72 minutes of the film itself and over ten minutes of end credits juxtaposed with outtakes. Roger Ebert gave it one star out of four, claiming, "The movie is a desperate miscalculation. It gives poor Dana Carvey nothing to do that is really funny, and then expects us to laugh because he acts so goofy all the time."[460] Alan Morrison, writing for Empire, proclaimed that The Master of Disguise was "the worst film ever made: a film about idiots, made by idiots, for idiots",[185] while Matthew Turner of ViewLondon remarked, "This is a serious contender for the title of The Worst Film Ever Made."[461] The film holds a 1% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 104 reviews,[462] and is featured on the site's list of the top 100 worst-reviewed films of all time.[330] It also appears on Metacritic's list of the all-time lowest-scoring films,[289] and is on the MRQE's 50 Worst Movies list.[424] A cameo appearance by Bo Derek landed her a nomination for Worst Supporting Actress at the 23rd Golden Raspberry Awards, but she lost to Madonna for Die Another Day.
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
The action film Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever stars Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu as opposing secret agents. Critics panned it, generally regarding it as having no redeeming features, not even the unintentional comedic value normally associated with bad films. They variously described the film as "A picture for idiots", "Boring to an amazing degree", "A fine achievement in stupidity and dullness", "Dreadful", "[Giving] new meaning to the word incoherent", and "bad on just about every level". One critic suggested an alternative title as "Simplistic: Bullets Vs. Humans".[463]
Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post wrote, "You could run this film backward, soundtrack included, and it would make no less sense."[464] Roger Ebert called the movie "a chaotic mess, overloaded with special effects and explosions, light on continuity, sanity and coherence."[465] In addition to being lambasted by critics, it was a disaster financially, recouping just over $19.9 million of its $70 million budget. In March 2007, Rotten Tomatoes ranked it #1 among "The Worst of the Worst" movie list, with 108 "rotten" reviews and no "fresh" ones.[466] Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever remains the worst reviewed film on Rotten Tomatoes, as it is at the top of their 100 Worst Films of All time list.[330] Mental Floss has also nominated it as the worst movie ever made and Ebert included it in his "most hated" list.[467][171]
Ben and Arthur (2002)
A low-budget 2002 American romantic drama film about the titular gay couple who come into conflict with Arthur's religious brother, Ben and Arthur was written, directed, produced, edited, and scored by Sam Mraovich, who also played the character Arthur. Ben and Arthur received strong criticism (especially from the LGBT community) for its low budget and poor plotting.

The Room (2003)
The independently produced The Room, about an amiable banker whose friends betray him one by one, has been called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies" by some critics.[478][479][480] The Guardian, Vox, The Washington Post, ABC Australia and Süddeutsche Zeitung called it the worst film ever made.[481][482][483][484][485] Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club called it "the greatest bad movie of our time" and said, "The Room is nearly an anti-film—an inane and unintentionally surreal soap opera, filled with non-sequiturs, confused characters, and gratuitous, anatomically incorrect sex."[486] Though the film's star, writer, producer, and director Tommy Wiseau has claimed it is a black comedy and its numerous flaws are intentional, other actors involved in the production have denied this, saying that Wiseau intended it as a melodramatic romance.[487]
The Room has been noted for its bizarre and non-sequiturial dialogue, protracted sex scenes, various subplots that are inadequately resolved or simply disappear altogether (most notably, a character announces that she has been diagnosed with

The German film Daniel – Der Zauberer was directed by Ulli Lommel and stars pop singer and ex-Deutschland sucht den Superstar contestant Daniel Küblböck, who appeared as a fictionalized version of himself. The Daily Dot wrote that it is considered to be the worst German film,[512] while n-tv said it was "possibly the worst movie ever made".[513] The website filmstarts.de states that Daniel – Der Zauberer was "unbearable for non-fans of Küblböck", adding that "the performances of the actors were some of the worst in the history of German cinema", and alleging that Ulli Lommel and producer Peter Schamoni had "damaged their reputation".[514] Years after its release, Küblböck admitted that, in retrospect, "[Y]ou have to say this is the worst movie of all time really".[515]

Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004)
The family-oriented comedy Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 was the last film directed by Bob Clark (of A Christmas Story fame) before his death. It is a sequel to the 1999 film Baby Geniuses and like its predecessor, it received negative reviews from film critics.[330] Following the plot of the first film, four babies can communicate with each other using 'baby talk', and have knowledge of many secrets. The "baby geniuses" become involved in a scheme by media mogul Bill Biscane (Jon Voight), a notorious kidnapper of children, who intends to use a satellite system to brainwash the world's population and force them to watch TV for the rest of their lives.
The film was a box-office bomb, only receiving $9 million from its $20 million budget.
Alone in the Dark (2005)

Roger Moore of The Orlando Sentinel stated: "Alone in the Dark shows just how tenuous Plan 9 from Outer Space's hold on that 'worst movie ever' title really is."[528] Likewise, Peter Hartlaub, the San Francisco Chronicle's pop culture critic, called the film "the best Ed Wood movie ever made ... a film so mind-blowingly horrible that it teeters on the edge of cinematic immortality."[529] In 2009, he named it the worst film of the decade.[530] Jeffrey Lyles of The Gazette considered it so bad that "other legendary bad films ... await a film of this magnitude because it gets awfully lonely on the island of misfit movies",[531] while Scott Nash of Three Movie Buffs dubbed it "one of the worst movies ever made."[525]

Epic Movie (2007)
Epic Movie is a parody film by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer that mainly parodies epic and fantasy movies, most notably The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Harry Potter films, but also contains references to all kinds of other then-popular films. Like most works of Friedberg and Seltzer, it received extremely negative reviews, holding an approval rating of 2% on Rotten Tomatoes,[539] and a Metacritic score of 17/100, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[540]
Harry Fletcher of the Standard said: "Filmmakers and trash-peddlers Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have been responsible for some of the most pointless, lazy and unforgivable movies of the past decade and frankly, they need to be stopped. Disaster Movie, 300 spoof Meet the Spartans and awful Hunger Games mickey-take The Starving Games could easily have made this list of the worst movies ever made, but Epic Movie might be the worst of the lot. It offers the most uninspired, unfunny film pastiches imaginable, sometimes repeating entire sections of dialogue verbatim from the movies they're supposedly satirising."[541]
Nathan Rabin gave it an F score and said, "Epic Movie [...] strays so far from the solid fundamentals of filmmaking that it calls the very foundation of humor into question."[542] Josh Rosenblatt of The Austin Chronicle said: "I've rarely seen a movie as hostile as this one, both to its audience and to its protagonists, and I don't think I realized before just how mean-spirited comedy can get (and I was raised on the Three Stooges)."[543] Jamie Russell of the BBC called it "the most excruciating, unfunny film you'll see this year... if not your entire lifetime."[544]
At the 28th Golden Raspberry Awards, it received three nominations, for Worst Remake or Rip-off, Worst Screenplay and Worst Supporting Actress (Carmen Electra). It is included in Rotten Tomatoes' list of the 100 Worst Movies of All time,[330] Empire's and Flavorwire's lists of the 50 worst movies ever made,[185][13] Standard's list of the 12 worst films ever made, MRQE's 50 worst movies list[424] and Newsweek's list of the 50 worst comedy movies of all time.[545]
I Know Who Killed Me (2007)
I Know Who Killed Me is a psychological thriller film directed by Chris Sivertson and starring Lindsay Lohan as identical twins, one of whom insists her identity is that of another woman after being abducted by a serial killer. At the 28th Golden Raspberry Awards, it set a record for most awards won in a single year by winning eight awards and it received two further nominations at the 30th Golden Raspberry Awards.[546]
The How Did This Get Made? podcast questioned, "Is this the worst movie Lindsay Lohan has ever been in or flat out the worst movie ever?"[547] Richard Roeper selected the film as the worst of the 2000s.[548] Gabe Delahaye of Stereogum reviewed I Know Who Killed Me as part of his search for the worst movie ever made, writing that: "Out of all the possible Worst Movies of All Time so far, none has been as painful to actually watch as I Know Who Killed Me".[549] It was named the 34th worst movie ever made in Empire's 50 Worst Movies Ever poll[185] and After Ellen named it the second worst ever made, after Gigli.[459] MRQE includes it on its 50 Worst Movies list,[424] and it has a rare F rating on CinemaScore.[527]
Meet the Spartans (2008)
Another 2008 parody movie by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, Meet the Spartans mainly parodied the movie 300, but references to numerous other films as well. Like most Friedberg and Seltzer projects, it received extremely negative reviews, holding an approval rating of 2% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus reading: "A tired, unfunny, offensive waste of time, Meet the Spartans scrapes the bottom of the cinematic barrel.",[550] and a Metacritic score of 9/100, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[551] Josh Levin of Slate called it the worst movie he had ever seen.[552] It is included in Empire's[185] and Flavorwire's[13] lists of the 50 worst movies ever made, News.com.au's list of the 15 worst films of all time,[449] Metacritic's list of the all-time lowest-scoring films[289] and MRQE's 50 Worst Movies list.[424] At the 29th Golden Raspberry Awards, it received five nominations, including Worst Picture.

An independently produced film that is an apparent homage to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, Birdemic: Shock and Terror tells the story of a romance between the two leading characters, played by Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore, as their small town is attacked by birds. Written, directed, and produced by James Nguyen, it was intended as a "romantic thriller"[567] but is notable due to its poor quality, with reviewers calling out its wooden acting, bad dialogue, amateurish sound and editing, nonsensical plot and, in particular, its special effects, consisting primarily of poorly rendered computer generated eagles and vultures that perform physically awkward aerial maneuvers and explode upon impact with the ground.[568]

The Last Airbender (2010)
The Last Airbender is a fantasy/adventure film written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan and is based on the acclaimed Nickelodeon animated TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender.[445] Upon release, the film was widely panned with critics pointing out the bad acting, numerous plot holes, screenplay, dialogue, poor special effects (despite its reported $150 million budget), and especially Shyamalan's directing. It was also ridiculed for the poor quality of its post-converted 3-D, and the casting of white and Indian actors to portray characters who were interpreted as East Asian or Inuit in the source material triggered accusations of racism and whitewashing.[577] Further criticism came from fans of the original cartoon series, who said the film differed tremendously from its critically acclaimed source material. David Onda of Comcast wrote that it "has been called one of the worst ever made. The movie was universally panned by critics and failed to make back its production budget domestically."[578] Roger Ebert wrote, "The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that."[579] When asked if Last Airbender had been the worst film he has ever seen, Mike Ryan of Vanity Fair answered, "Yes."[580]
It garnered nine nominations at the 31st Golden Raspberry Awards, and won five, including Worst Picture and Worst Director.[581][582] Hi highlighted the film in their "Worst Films Ever" series,[583] and Rotten Tomatoes, Screen Rant and Digital Trends included it in their worst film lists.[330][256][425] Dev Patel would later express regret and dislike for his role and his experience with the film. He described his performance as Prince Zuko as being as though he "saw a stranger on the screen that I couldn't relate to."[584][585]

That's My Boy (2012)
Another comedy film starring Adam Sandler, That's My Boy concerns a middle school student named Donny Berger who has sex with his teacher, gets her pregnant, and in turn, earns a lifestyle of a minor celebrity, something he never intended to happen. Years later, Donny (played by Sandler) crashes his now-adult son's (Andy Samberg) wedding and bachelor party to get money to pay his taxes, therefore avoiding prison. The film has been widely panned due to its comedic portrayal of incest, hebephilia, statutory rape, and gerontophilia,[596][597][598] with film critic Andrew O'Hehir of Salon stating, "[Sandler's] new movie about a rape survivor and his estranged son is supposed to be funny, but radiates pain and rage."[599] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times proclaimed, "To say That's My Boy is one of the worst movies of the year is to insult 2012. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen",[600] while Richard Haridly of Quickflix called it "one of the saddest and most exhausting" films he has ever seen.[601] MaryAnn Johanson of Flick Filosopher outright panned the film for its inability to generate laughs as well as its depraved content, calling it "a disgusting excuse for a comedy" and possibly "the most repulsive movie I've ever seen",[602][603] and Jonathan Lack of We Got This Covered declared, "That's My Boy isn't just the worst film of 2012, it's one of the most morally reprehensible comedies of all time, a disgusting movie you should stay far, far away from."[602][604] Furthermore, Ed Whitfield of The Ooh Tray stated, "It may be the worst film, in any genre, ever made".[602][605] In addition to the movie's overwhelmingly negative reviews, That's My Boy earned eight nominations at the 33rd Golden Raspberry Awards, such as Worst Picture and Worst Director, and won the awards for Worst Actor (Sandler) and Worst Screenplay.[606] It holds a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of April 17, 2019[update] based on 115 reviews.[607]

Movie 43 (2013)
Produced and co-directed by Peter Farrelly among others, Movie 43 is a gross out[472] sex comedy film consisting of several vignettes each by a different director and a sizable cast of recognizable actors and actresses including Dennis Quaid, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts, Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Chloë Grace Moretz, Gerard Butler, Halle Berry, Stephen Merchant, Kristen Bell, Terrence Howard, Elizabeth Banks, Kate Bosworth, Johnny Knoxville, Justin Long, Chris Pratt, Josh Duhamel, and Jason Sudeikis. Holding a score of 5% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is included on the site's 100 Worst Movies of All Time list,[330] and is also on the MRQE's 50 Worst Movies list.[424] Movie 43 won three awards at the 34th Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay. In the Worst Director category, all 13 directors won the award.[634]
Several critics have called it one of the worst films ever made, including Peter Howell of the Toronto Star, who said, "There's just one use for Movie 43, apart from it being ground into the landfill that it deserves to become sooner rather than later. It provides me with a handy new answer to a question I'm often asked: 'What's the worst film you've ever seen?'"[635] Brady Murphy of Murphy Reviews wrote that the movie "had no heart" and gave it the site's first zero out of ten rating.[636] Meanwhile, Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times voiced similar hatred, calling it "aggressively tasteless" and "the Citizen Kane of awful."[637] Lou Lumenick stated, "If you mashed-up the worst parts of the infamous Howard the Duck, Gigli, Ishtar and every other awful movie I've seen since I started reviewing professionally in 1981, it wouldn't begin to approach the sheer soul-sucking badness of the cringe-inducing Movie 43."[638] Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News also considered it the worst movie she ever saw.[639]
Fateful Findings (2013)

Several of the cast members also lamented their involvement in the film. Despite being the film's leading actress, Bipasha Basu did not participate in the film's promotions because she was "extremely disturbed by the end result" and stated that "Humshakals was the worst experience of my life".[652][653] Another cast member, actress Esha Gupta, warned her family to not watch the film.[654] After the release of the film, leading actor Saif Ali Khan lamented that "I've been introspecting a lot and will never repeat a mistake that was Humshakals."[655]

Dirty Grandpa (2016)
Dirty Grandpa, a 2016 comedy film starring Robert De Niro and Zac Efron as a grandfather and grandson going to Florida during spring break, received negative reviews for its gross-out and shock humor that was also considered as sexist,[681] homophobic and racist.[682] Mike Ryan of Uproxx said: "Dirty Grandpa is the worst movie I've ever seen in a movie theater. Burn it."[683] He later also picked it as the worst film he had ever both reviewed[659] and seen.[684] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood said: "... Dirty Grandpa, is not just the worst movie [De Niro] has ever been in, but it may be the worst movie anyone has ever been in."[685] Glenn McDonald of Indy Week said: "The awful, ugly Dirty Grandpa is the comedy equivalent of torture porn ... In fact, in the dizzying moments after being bludgeoned by this miserable specimen, I was convinced it's among the worst movies ever made."[686] Richard Roeper gave the film zero stars, writing, "If Dirty Grandpa isn't the worst movie of 2016, I have some serious cinematic torture in my near future."[687] On his YouTube channel, Roeper also said: "I'm not ready to say Dirty Grandpa is the worst movie I've ever seen, but I'm also not ready to say it's not the worst movie I've ever seen."[688] Mark Kermode, on his BBC Radio 5 Live show (Kermode and Mayo's Film Review), said that he found the film "truly, genuinely horrible" and went on to say, "after Dirty Grandpa I did feel genuinely unclean, I wanted to go and have a shower, because it's just so revolting. Somewhere in hell there is a multiplex playing this on a double bill, with Movie 43 and Entourage."[689] He would later go on to brand it his least favorite film of 2016.[690]
Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com said: "The actor Bela Lugosi appeared in some landmark, perhaps even great, films at the beginning of his Hollywood career in the 1930s. ... Lugosi's final film was 1957's Plan 9 from Outer Space, frequently cited as the worst film ever made. The cinematic landmarks of De Niro's career include films such as Coppola's The Godfather Part II and Scorsese's Raging Bull. He has been featured in a good number of very bad films in the years since. But this? This might just be his own Plan 9".[61] The film has an approval rating of 10% at Rotten Tomatoes based on 135 reviews, with an average rating of 3.1/10,[691] while on Metacritic it has a score of 21 out of 100 based on 27 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[692] At the 37th Golden Raspberry Awards it received five nominations, for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (De Niro), Worst Screenplay, and two nominations for Worst Supporting Actress (Julianne Hough and Aubrey Plaza), but did not win in any category.
Guardians (2017)
Guardians is a 2017 Russian superhero film[693][694] about a team of Soviet superheroes created during the Cold War.[695] It was criticized for having a derivative plot, bad acting and direction, cheap CGI, plot holes and overall low quality. Kg-portal.ru wrote that "Guardians is a film from which Russian cinema should be protected. It's like a sequel to Plan 9 from Outer Space, filmed by Uwe Boll, with the screenplay by Tommy Wiseau and with him in the lead role".[696] Rossiyskaya Gazeta commented that the film was "Worse than you can imagine."[697] Meduza compared the film's director, Sarik Andreasyan, to Plan 9 from Outer Space's director, Ed Wood, and said that Guardians "is a convincing answer to the eternal question of why we can never catch up with Hollywood even in our own box office".[698] Afisha said that it was the Russian answer to Howard the Duck,[699] and Ivi, Inc. commented that "a more talentless film is hard to imagine".[700] RIA Novosti placed it at the top of their worst film list,[701] and it appears on Kritikanstvo's all-time lowest-scoring films.[702] Critics outside of Russia generally panned the film but were not as harsh, as it has a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 12 reviews.[703] A sequel was planned,[704] but the film was a box-office bomb, which resulted in the film's production company, Enjoy Movies, subsequently filing for bankruptcy, and the Cinema Foundation of Russia, which provided part of the budget, suing the company and demanding a return of the investment.
Loqueesha (2019)
The 2019 comedy film Loqueesha stars Jeremy Saville, who also independently wrote, directed, and produced the film, as Joe, who needs money to pay for his son's private school education and, after getting rejected for a job as a radio host, the listing for which encourages women and minorities to apply, gets the job by pretending to be a sassy black woman named Loqueesha who gives out advice on air.[705] The film's trailer and poster were panned online as racist and stereotypical upon their release,[706] with Entertainment.ie's Brian Lloyd writing that it was "one the [sic] worst fucking things we have ever seen, and we still can't believe it's actually real".[707][708] Upon seeing the actual film, Nathan Rabin said that the film was "somehow much worse" than the trailer led people to believe.[705]
The film received universally negative reception from critics, as it garnered a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Cats (2019)
Lloyd Webber condemned the film as "ridiculous" stating, "The problem with the film was that Tom Hooper decided that he didn't want anybody involved in it who was involved in the original show."[719] It was criticized for CGI "digital fur technology",[445] which depicted the film's actors as bipedal cats. An updated version of the film, with a refined CGI patch, was sent to theaters after its premiere.[720] Describing the experimentation with digital fur as one of the worst decisions in movie history, Rolling Stone wrote: "There are many, many other problems with Cats, ... but it was hard for anyone to focus on any of them when it just looked so shitty and disturbing."[46] Other critics also panned the performances of some of the actors, with James Corden and Rebel Wilson (who parodied themselves at the 92nd Academy Awards) receiving the most criticism.[721][722] As of June 2023[update], Cats sits at a 19% on Rotten Tomatoes.[723] The film won six Golden Raspberry Awards out of 9 nominations, including Worst Director for Hooper, Worst Supporting Actress for Wilson, Worst Supporting Actor for Corden, and Worst Picture overall.[724]
Early reviews for Cats were embargoed.[725][726] Manohla Dargis from The New York Times commented that "[a] doctoral thesis could be written about how this misfire sputtered into existence".[727] British newspaper The Daily Telegraph called the film an "all-time disaster" with reviewer Tim Robey giving the film "zero stars" in his review.[728][729][730] Critics from The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The Detroit News wrote that it was a candidate for the worst film of the 2010s, with The Detroit News reviewer Adam Graham writing: "Cats is the biggest disaster of the decade, and possibly thus far in the millennium. It's Battlefield Earth with whiskers."[731][732][733] Graham later selected Cats as the worst movie he had ever seen.[587] Wade Major of CineGods.com slammed it as "Showgirls with fur", while Battlefield Earth screenwriter J. David Shapiro (who previously won the Razzie for Worst Screenplay) said Cats had usurped his film as the worst ever made.[734][735] Cats was included on Time Out's 40 Best Bad Movies Ever Made list.[83]

In March 2021, the film was nominated for six Golden Raspberry Awards, for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor (Michele Morrone), Worst Actress (Anna-Maria Sieklucka), Worst Screenplay and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel,[744] becoming the second foreign-language film to be nominated for Worst Picture after Italy's Pinocchio (2002; albeit the dubbed version),[745] and won only one for Worst Screenplay.[746]
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
The 2023 low-budget
Shawn Paul Wood of The Cinema Spot wrote "As anyone can tell, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is one of the worst movies ever made. And, by the looks of its dazzling lack of antipathy for protecting its copyright, Disney knew it."[754] Matt Villei of Collider wrote "If these reviews are anything to go by, the film might find itself in a spot of bother as it is being called one of the worst horror movies ever, though some predicted that, from its low quality, the film could garner a cult following similar to Tommy Wiseau's disasterpiece, ... The Room."[755] Scott Campbell of We Got This Covered titled his review "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey officially – and deservedly – named one of the worst movies ever made."[756] It received all five Razzies that it was nominated for at the 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Screenplay and Director (Rhys Frake-Waterfield).[757]
