The 23 Worst Films Ever Made

Sometimes, we cannot believe that what we’re watching is an actual movie! Is it the convoluted script, unbelievable premise, wooden acting, or nonsensical script? Someone recently asked online, “What is the worst movie you’ve ever seen?” We collected the 23 best suggestions.

“The studio brought in the show creators as consultants, and the director ignored them at every turn. He couldn’t even get the pronunciation right!”

“That movie is aggressively bad. Like, Shyamalan goes out of his way to mispronounce every name he can as if he’s on some kind of personal vendetta.”

The Emoji Movie (2017)

“That movie stole a piece of my soul, even with Sir Patrick as the poop emoji. As a rule, if a movie has the word “movie” in the title, you’re in for a bad time.”

“Definitely. I watched it with my now ex-wife, and I remember almost walking away when that horrible song started.”

“Hands down the absolute rock bottom of parody movies from the 2000s. I liked parody movies; even the worst movies from scary movie franchises got at least a chuckle here and there, but DM was so atrocious, unfunny, and gross. I just quit halfway because my head hurt.”

Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

“What else do you expect when the source material is a poorly written Twilight fan-fiction.”

“Oh, right. That movie teaches us that if someone says they don’t like to be tortured, that doesn’t really mean they don’t like to be tortured. You just have to persist, and they will let you.”

Battlefield Earth (2000)

“It’s so bad it’s almost unbelievable. It is nearly incomprehensible. I’ve seen a lot of terrible movies. Battlefield Earth is not the absolute worst, but it’s easily the worst action film I’ve seen.”

“If it matters, the book it’s based on is every bit as bad.”

Suicide Squad (2016)

“Jared Leto laying in a pile of knives was when I turned off. Harley Quinn was the only passable character.”

“I tried to watch it; within the first half hour, they started the EXTREMELY cliche character introductions with popular songs blasting over it. It was done badly and with sincerity.”

Holmes & Watson (2018)

“It’s as if they took a bet that they could make a comedy with no laughs and won.”

“Oh hey, this was my comment. I walked out of the theater after maybe 10 minutes.”

“I couldn’t watch this movie for more than 20 minutes. How was it that bad???”

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

“Random aspect ratio changes and an overly convoluted story that doesn’t make sense.”

“The one silver lining of that film? You can tell Anthony Hopkins showed up for a paycheck and to ham it up as much as he could. The amount he simply did not care was palpable!”

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)

“Paul Walker turns into a dinosaur and gets the girl, played by Denise Richards.”

“It’s so much weirder than it sounds. This is one of those B movies that hits that “hilariously bad” sweet spot. It’s objectively a terrible movie, but you will laugh at it the whole time.”

Llamagedon (2015)

“This was badness elevated to high art. I want an equally terrible sequel. If anyone gives them a budget, I’m gonna be upset. The shirt changes were my favorite part.”

“If we’re talking intentionally bad, then yeah, Llamagedon wins hands down.”

Lady in the Water (2006)

“It’s just the dumbest stream-of-consciousness trash that I’ve ever seen anyone dare to try and package into a movie format. After reading other comments, I’m realizing that The Last Airbender and The Happening feature a lot. Nice work, Shyamalan, you’re batting a million.”

“It’s almost audaciously bad, like for however long it took from conception to release, that no one just stopped and asked what the hell was going on.”

“The funniest part is when the guy lays in front of the lawn mower. I laughed out loud throughout because it was so bad.”

Foodfight! (2012)

“Foodfight is the objective answer to this question for anyone who has seen the movie.”

“I saw a DVD copy of this in a charity shop. I didn’t have the guts to put myself through it.”

“You can probably only find it on YouTube or Dailymotion nowadays.”

65 (2023)

“I realized halfway through that my life was going to be shortened enough due to the cancer. I’m fighting to waste another hour of the time I have left to finish that boring, cliched garbage!”

“With Adam Driver? I didn’t think it was that bad when you consider it was a dinosaur horror.”

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

“I believe it was literally made with the intent to be so bad it would kill the franchise completely so that nobody could ever reboot or make more movies or a show about it.”

“What’s even worse is there were some genuinely interesting things they could have done plot-wise.”

Ghostbusters (2016)

“It’s unfortunate that there was such a stupid uproar about the female cast because it made it easy to dismiss the people saying it was bad as people who just didn’t like it because it had a female cast. The female cast didn’t matter. The thing that mattered was that it was garbage.”

Manos: The Hand of Fate (1966)

“Yep, Seen it. It’s easily the worst movie I’ve ever seen. For me, it’s worse than “Plan 9 from Outer Space”, which is supposed to be the worst movie ever. Manos is EASILY worse.”

“Yes, but the master would not approve of this comment.”

Downsizing (2017)

“I was so disappointed. It was such a great premise, then it spiraled into weird craziness.”

“The problem was that it did not spiral into anything. It became a relationship drama and then some kind of apocalypse storyline where the movie just sort of “forgot” that they were small.”

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

“I know the MK movies are corny, but so are the games, and they’re fun. But the second movie, which picks up right where the first one left off, immediately throws you by replacing almost every main actor with someone else, I think due to scheduling conflicts.”

The Marine (2006)

“Saw it while I was actually in the Marines. It remains the only movie I’ve ever walked out of.”

“John Cena doesn’t even do an Attitude Adjustment. At one point, he even has a bad guy in a Fireman’s Carry, and still nothing. Wrestlers should be contractually obligated to do at least one signature move in their movies.”

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)

“The best review of this one I’ve read: “Ballistic: Bullets vs. Logic.” But it did have Lucy Liu.”

“This was absolutely horrible, in my opinion, as well. Possibly worse than any other.”

“I didn’t bother to watch this movie because the name and box art looked like one of those direct-to-streaming movies.”

Crash (2004)

“I’m guessing you mean that thing that somehow got an Oscar owing to the greatest collective brainfart in history, not the Cronenberg adaptation of Ballard?”

“That movie was insultingly bad. What a pandering dumpster fire that movie was!”

Rubber (2010)

“Mr. Oizo doing the soundtrack should be enough to tell you it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously and is hilariously bad and good. It’s a masterpiece of trash cinema.”

“It’s a movie about a psychotic car tire that kills people. What could be good about it?”
