Perfect

Give me "sarcasm" over "serious" any day.  

By the way if anyone is interested there is an interesting site called JAPANDER,it features hollywood actors doing Japanese commercials. Many of the adds are quite sedate but there are some truly wierd and wonderful ones,for example,some of the commercials of Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwartzenegger are truly bizarre!! its at www.japander.com

The best "worst movie" I have ever seen is :

"Saturday Night Fever"

I saw this awfull movie right in '77 when I was 100% in prog rock

No, I was not masochist, I only wanted to please a friend

(a very short love story indeed !!)

Well, it has at least a Goblin soundtrack wich is somehow disturbing. In fact it's a long time since I saw it, and, although I don't really like Argento, I must admit he has an especial directing eye, what means their films have at least some redeeming qualities...

On the other hand, you can check any non-porn Joe D'Amato or Jess Franco flick to know what 'cinematographic pain' can mean. Hell, I'm right now at work going through a list of films to buy for my channel and you can't imagine the amount of poop I'm reading in this catalogue.... ooops... 'Murderock'.... directed by Lucio Fulci... music by Keith Emerson (gasp!)

But if there are some NICE visuals, at least there is something positive. What I think Dude was asking for were terribly inept films, from every possible point of view. Movies with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

If you think Independence Day or The Flinstones are really bad movies, I suspect certain italian exploitation movies from the 80s could really cause you brain damage

 

As far as real 'groaners' are concerned, "The Flintstones" movie has to be one of the worst piles of doo-doo ever to have come out of hollywood - needless to say I didn't bother with "Viva Rock Vegas"

For sheer sentimental USA saves the world (again!) schmaltz, you'd have to go for Independence Day - nice visuals, but an appalling film.

Another nice visuals film, but the worst movie(in my opinion, anyway) ever made, though, has to be "Titanic" - the lovely Oirish people (all of whom, naturally, spent all their time laughing, drinking & dancing jigs - as all 'Oirish' people do - I'm surprised there were no leprechauns in the rigging) kept in the bottom of the liner by the Nasty Evil Brits (who all had moustaches & spent their time drinking port, plotting, and hiding American accents) - the sinking caused by the lookout watching DiCaprio kiss Winslett instead of the bloody big iceberg right in front of him - and the bloody awful ending aaaaaaaahhhhh, united in death....... aint that just so CUTE?? PASS ME THE SICK BAG, MOTHER!!!. The effects were OK, though.....

John Carpenenter's 'Ghosts Of Mars' may be a contender with a Marylyn Mansun lookalike villain and painfull heavy metal soundtrack.I have to say I enjoyed the silliness of it! Other 'bad' films I've enjoyed include 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' and 'Deep Blue Sea' .The Finnish director Renne Harlin seems to have done a few of these!

And have you noticed that some of the worst movies made recently seem to have Ben Afflek in them?! (Pearl Harbour,Gigli etc)

But most of these movies can have redeeming qualities. Van Damme even has good films (Timecop). The thing is about really INEPT films in all departments: See Ator 2 (AKA Cave Dwellers, AKA The Blade Master) or most Jess Franco films to see what I mean).
