Huge fan of both Method Man and Redman and "How High" is the stupidest movie I've ever seen in the theater.

Battlefield Earth. Which pains me because I love the book.

McHales Navy

Naked Lunch

Holy crap, where to begin. I've seen a bunch of dumb movies over the years! But yeah, I'll try to group these by theater as opposed to recording/streaming/ cable.

Movies:
Cool World - still can't believe i watched all of it. It's also the answer to the Bill Simmons-inspired dis if I ever meet Brad Pitt: "Hey, you were great in Cool World!".

Beavis and Butthead Do America - date movie suggested by a girlfriend at the time. I liked the show back in the day, but damn this was stupid. We broke up soon after.

Cyborg - plot holes. Plot holes everywhere. ****ty acting (kinda expected it, but still).

Light of Day - another date movie from last part of high school senior year. Michael J Fox and Joan Jett in a band movie! What could go wrong?

Legend - high school math honor society trip to Houston. We'd just had what was to this DAY the WORST service I've ever had or seen at a restaurant (Bennigans, I think), and had retaliated in typical high school kid fashion - we didn't tip JACK ***** Anyway, the only redeeming thing from this movie was a smoking Mia Sara.

Not in theater:
Gymkata - movie night at high school buddy's house. This was so epically bad that my friends and I very quickly switched to MST-3000 mode... before that was a thing. It also spawned the term "Dan movie", which became a catch-all adjective for ANY horrifically terrible recommendation, very much to the host friend's embarrassment.

Vanilla Sky - for such a great cast, this fell SO flat. I still don't know what the **** this was about.

World of Warcraft - bored and drinking...alcohol couldn't save this viewing - and I'd actually played the game for a few years.

I'm sure there's more, but playoff hockey is on.

Mad Max 4

Don't tell mom the babysitters dead.


First and only time I actually booed at a theater.

Leave the World Behind

Another vote for The Lobster.

Hail, Caesar was one of the worst movies I have seen in awhile. I feel like Cars 2 could also be on this list.

The 5th Element

Holmes and Watson.

It was so bad, it made me physically uncomfortable somehow.

If it weren't for the CGI, Avatar would be universally considered the worst movie ever. I will die on this hill. The plot, dialogue, and acting are abysmal.

100% true.

For the plot

Ferngully > Dances with Wolves >>>>>> Avatar

Only movie in a theater I walked out on is Spawn.

Couldn't finish Wind Talkers (bad Cage) and The Passion of Christ (fan fiction, to put it lightly).

Aquaman
The Mummy

I completely agree with all your counterpoints.

Some terrible takes in this thread.

No crap! Can't believe people are crapping on some of these Legends.

I haven't seen Ferngully, but I like the hell out of Dances with Wolves (despite it making indians seem too virtuous). If Ferngully is even better, than I'll have to check that out.

Joe Dirt 2

You'll never see a sequel flop so hard from such a strong original.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Stupid stupid: Species II

Good stupid: Eurotrip

Good Burger

I would also accept Joe Versus the Volcano
