Looky here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3126650.stm)

Choice quotes;

The worst film, the one that really irked me and sent me fleeing the cinema with a feeling of disgust was Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones. Closley followed by Red Dawn, Robocop & Weekend at Bernies 2.

Batman and Robin has to be the worst film I've ever seen. Not only was it very badly acted, the story ridiculous (even by cartoon hero standards) and the action sequences poorly executed, it also managed to completely ruin the reputation of the Batman franchise which is only now about to recover with the announcement of Christian Bale as the next Batman. I hope it's better than Batman and Robin, which to be fair, won't be too hard to achieve!
James Bartlett, UK

Highlander 2 - There should have been only one.
Bob Mallett, England


TWO MENTIONS!!!

Weekend at Bernie's II surely takes the prize for worst film ever made...

Saving Private Ryan - never has there been a more shameless display of diabolical acting, appalling dialogue and nauseating pro-Americanism. I rest my case.

Limey ****.

ROBOCOP WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU BRITS!!!!

I also notice that almost every sentence ends with "blah blah Typical American Shitty Cinema"

Pretty big words for a coming from a country whose contributions to cinema in the past forty years have been "Chariots of Fire" "The Full Monty" and ****ING "Greenthumbs". And who haven't had a profilic director since CAROL REED back in the ****ing forties and fifties.

Battlefield Earth is bad in a really funny way. I just can't keep from cracking up watching Travolta. Through out the entire movie you can visibly see the thought going through his head...'this is so cool, this is so cool'

A lot of these are the most high-profile critical flops ever, but a lot of these people do not understand the term "worst movie ever." I doubt Gigli is as bad as The Slime People, or Battlefield Earth as bad as Glen or Glenda. Some of these movies are terrible, that's true (Highlander 2, Plan 9, Weekend at Bernie's II, and Rollerball), but most of these are movies that people want to pile on with, or decided they'd be unique by bashing (Apollo 13, , for example).

Most people haven't even see Gigli, they just think it is the worst film ever because they are told that it is.

Exactly. It's like Bordick said, if everyone who panned Gigli had actually seen it, it would have made money.

Monty Python is TV and I'm just talking film.

Technically cause their films are American produced.
