For me there are two kinds of bad film........
A:The "So Bad Its Good"(as some have already mentioned) film,these are the films that are undeniably bad but have a certain fascination that allows one to sit through it,and even to watch again at a later stage.
B:The "So bad its unwatchable" film,these are the ones you turn off after a certain length of time because you cant sit through it and never watch it again.i think these are the TRULY bad films
Have to agree with some entries here,"Plan Nine" is bad but i have seen it least three times,there is just something about it that makes me want to forgive it.(and i have seen much worse.)
As for "Worst Movie Ever Made"? that,for me, could be any number of movies i simply could not sit all the way through,one recent example was Crocodile Dundee 3,go nowhere scenes,tired gags he did(to death) on the old "Paul Hogan Show" ,........after about half an hour i switched off.

Just watched the MST3K episode for TheSkydivers and I have to say that it's a step below Red Zone Cuba, as hard as that may be to believe. Coleman Francis was just awful.

WOW!!! That has to be the dialogue I have EVER read...My God!
Reading this restored my faith in the power of words. So powerful and yet so comical.

Plan 9 is actually a "classis" of the genre. Bad yes, but awesome. How about "It Conquered The World", with Lee Van Cleef, and Peter Graves? A real stinker, in my opinioin.

I hate it when the "other" option dominates a poll but I have no choice but to vote for it because The Room conquers every other movie ever made as the worst anyone can find.

An annoying couple stranded in the ocean for over an hour of film, bickering and behaving like a typical bitter married couple, except only terrified of sharks.
Although it has its failings, I quite like 'Open Water'. I think the naturalistic / documentary style helps to build up a real sense of peril. It is a million times better than any of the Jaws sequels.
It's almost impossible to say what is the worst film ever. There are so many routine, formulaic, cliched movies churned out every year. An especially bad one that springs to mind is Batman and Robin (Batman played by George Clooney - what was he thinking????)

The acting is mostly bad, the plot drags a bit and the cinematography is about as unprofessional as can be, but I've seen dozens of less enjoyable movies.

Plan 9 is a masterpiece of badness. But it falls in the category of "so bad it's good". Really. I've seen it like 3 times and each time I realize even more how atrocious it is, but it's a sci-fi movie of the 50s made with no budget... a z-class movie. The same with its usual contender for the throne, Robot Monster, which I have seen only once, shame on me.
It's much worse when they waste millions of dollars in super-budget pieces of crap like Transformers 2. At least Ed Wood had true love for filmmaking. He was just terrible at actually doing it.

That Bobby Darin biopic that Kevin Spacey did some years back may be the worst thing ever. I don't even remember the name of it but it was the scum that bottom-feeders won't even go near.
