One movie caught my eye, and it goes along with the so-bad-you-forget-it idea: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
Yikes.
It stars a very young Pia Zadora, arguably the worst actress ever. She's the only actress to win back-to-back Worst Actress awards in the Razzies. Here she is as child actor.
Other than Blair Witch, I think Invasion of the Body Snatchers was other movie we walked out of. It was Stupid +P.....
Really? I enjoyed both the 50s original and the 70s remake with Donald Sutherland. Spooky schit IMO.
Did they do a later remake?
Yes, with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. They changed the title to something else, though. It was much better than the 70s version which IMO was bad. That's probably the version the poster was talking about.
. . . oh, and before I forget: The Killer Shrews was always a favorite of mine, because I remember watching it on Saturday Afternoon when I was a kid. It ranks right up there with the worst of the worst, chiefly because the Killer Shrews are all dogs in cheesy shrew costumes. The original came out in 1959.
The only reason I mention this is that I was digging around and found out there was a 2012 sequel, Return of the Killer Shrews. This one has GOT to be near the bottom.
By the way, Anjin-San, I loved your work in Shogun.
Yes, the handle pays homage to James Clavell's Shogun and was adopted before I knew he was full of it.
Actually, it is not a Japanese word. He thought it meant pilot, navigator of a ship or guide and I assumed that he knew, so I took it on as a model for my law practice in Japan.
In fact, the proper word in Japanese is Annainin or "guide person."

That has always been a favorite of my wife and I...
Granted the movie was stupid, but we love it due to my son's reaction to it when he was little... we first saw it when he was about Kindergarten Age...he was freaking out because he thought it was all for real...if it comes up on the TV movies we watch it and still laugh about Seafire Jr's reaction to it the first time...
he can hear us laughing and walk into the room to see what is so funny, and when he sees it's that, he'll go " oh great! reliving me being terrified over a movie when I was a kid..."
he thought it was a documentary or something in his youth..first couple of times he saw it..
Navajo Joe with Burt Reynolds is pretty hard to watch...
Although it's worth it cause Quentin Tarantino stole a BUNCH of music from that movie to put in Kill Bill.!
My son and I watched Navaho Joe one night together... we couldn't keep from laughing on how stupid that movie was...and especially that theme song, over and over...
one of those Euro Cowboy type movies...
Can't think of the name of it, but afterwards was another Euro Cowboy Crap movie with Yul Brenner in it... we had recently watched the original Magnificent Seven, and my son couldn't believe it was the same actor, due to how stupid the movie was... I think it was a Spanish Made movie...
Yul Brenner is this 'hero' whose side arm is a mega short barreled lever action, with a super short stock.. that he keeps in this real hoakey holster on his hip.... thing has an unlimited magazine capacity, and he makes all of this hip shots, killing like 7 to 10 bad men in a row...
one of these shooting sprees, he shots one of the bad guys off of a fence next to a wagon, with a coffin in the back...guy gets shot, does a twist and somersault and then falls perfectly into the coffin, the next shot closes the lid, and he goes on killing the other 8 to 10 guys in the same fashion...
all the while with this hoakey Euro Cowboy theme song playing over and over in the background...
They are terrible if they weren't so damned funny by American Standards... evidently the European crowd loved them...

The worst movie I ever seen that was supposed to be a quality film with a decent budget was "The Life Aquatic." It is so bad my wife and I laughed all the way through it, or at least I did because she went to bed. She says I am easily entertained. Those orange watch caps and blue uniforms they wore cracked me up. For all the great actors in the film it was terrible. I am suprised it hasn't become a cult classic where people yell stuff at the screen like "Rocky Horror Picture Show."
