Keep in mind, almost all of these movies have gained a cult following. That is, they are so bad, they are now considered good.

I remember Howard the Duck. Huge hoopla and hype. Can't actually remember now if I actually saw it or got talked out of it by friends who saw it before me.

Waterworld starring Kevin Costner would be one of my picks.

That wasn't that bad. It just wasn't the mega hit Dancing With The Wolves everybody expected. And probably not good enough to make back the huge budget they spent on it.

I watched 10 minutes of Highlander II. It annoyed me immensely. I will never watch the whole thing.

The movie I'm surprised is not on the list is "The Devil's Advocate" starring Keanu Reeves or "Nacho Libre" starring Jack Black.

The original was awesome which was what made the second such a disappointment. They're doing a remake of the original too-that will likely be terrible. Good movies should not be remade.

It's not much fun discussing the worst movies ever made, how about the cult classics? Anyone a fan of Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness?

How is Blair Witch Project not on that list?
The things I could have done with those 90 minutes! Now gone forever.

I think Blair Witch Project is actually critically acclaimed.
A horror movie that relies upon creepiness instead of surprises.

Ever see Blackula? That was among the most ridiculous movies ever made.

I think Abandon("starring" Katie Holmes) is one of the crappiest movies I have ever seen. Ugh.

Expect domestic terrorism if they ever try to make Gilligan's Island into a movie.
Oh ****! They ARE making Gilligan's Island into a ****ing movie.

That's weird. I thought there already was a Gilligan's Island movie. It was with the original cast of the sitcom, basically the TV show being transformed into a feature film.
It's more like one long episode of the Gilligan's Island show than a movie though.

As someone who rarely watches movies the only one on the list I saw was Howard the Duck.
yes it was not the best I agree. The last time on saw a movie in a theatre was 0.11 from a
few years back. I have seen movie trailers and they such so the movie can't be much either.
I have seen a few on TV but they remind me why I don't watch movies.
Oh the one I hated was the Beatles thing what was it something about 8 days a week or whatever.

What it is not affected by where you see it. A movie you see in the theatre is still a movie when it is played on a network on TV. Some movies never make it to theatrical release either, they go straight to DVD. Are they not movies because they never made it to a theatre?

Nothing can possibly be as bad ... oops, I mean, entertaining as Edward Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space:
I was watching this gem on an online TV channel and the chatters were all having a good laugh about it. Then, somewhere along the line we compared Vampira:
compared to Elvira:
We had a vote as to who was sexier and more desirable. Vampira won by a unanimous vote.
-------------------------------------------------------------
As for other bad movies I've seen, these include:
Robot Monster
Zombies From the Stratosphere
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
Eraser Head
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Harold & Maude

I watched Eegah (1962), one of the movies on the list, today. There's one part where three characters are walking in a desert and a disembodied voice yells "Watch out for snakes!" I thought it hilarious, so I looked it up. Sure enough, other people think it's funny too. The phrase "Watch out from snakes!" has been used in comedy, such as the U.S. production of The Office.
