Poll: Choose the worst major-release movie of all time
posted at 9:15 pm on February 22, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
I felt like starting a new thread, since the earlier post has almost 800 comments now. The poll for the HA! Award is now open. Choose your pick for the worst major-release movie of all time, as nominated by myself and your fellow Hot Air readers:
We got some fine nominations from the comments. I’d have included more, but the poll would have been almost unmanageable. I exercised my veto power on a couple of movies, including Joe Versus the Volcano, which is one of my favorites. The First Mate might agree with some of its naysayers, however.
Voting will remain open until tomorrow’s Ed Morrissey Show, when I will announce the top three votegetters on the air with Kevin McCullough. Be sure to tune in!

Absolutely on GI Jane. Demi Moore tortures the audience while pretending to be, of all things, a Navy SEAL trainee.
Demi Moore portrays a fearsome warrior all right. One that could be felled by a termite.
viking01 on February 22, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Ishtar was the worst movie of all time.
At least Battlefield Earth can be liked by some nerdy Scientologist.
roux on February 22, 2009 at 10:39 PM
I thought of another bad one, ‘In The Cut’. Not only a bad movie, but seeing Meg Ryan topless turned out to be a painful letdown.
trigon on February 22, 2009 at 10:39 PM
The remake of All the King’s Men deserves mention too. It had a great cast but Sean Penn was totally wrong for the role of lead protagonist Willie Stark. I kept waiting for Broderick Crawford to come storming up to the podium, push Penn off the stage, and say, “Go back to your surfboard, Spicoli. I’ll show you how it’s done.”
Percy_Peabody on February 22, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Also, I hate to break it to some of you, but, ‘The Fifth Element’ is a very good movie. There’s something just a little bit wrong with some of you. You know who you are.
Well, maybe you don’t…

If you put Batman and Robin up against the superior re-boots…it’s sad what Joel Schumacher did to that franchise. If not downright criminal. Nipples on the batsuit..jackass.
StevefromMKE on February 22, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Don’t want to be a hog on this topic but I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least mention the movie version of The Wild, Wild West. They say Robert Conrad threw up when he watched the film and that Ross Martin turned over in his grave.

Whats with the fake ‘packages’ on these aliens in this pic? Is noticing the fake ego pleasers a bad thing? Oh noes….

Why isn’t Storm Tracker on this list? Worst. Movie. Ever.

Joe Versus the Volcano is my favorite movie of all time. Away from the things of man Ed, away from the things of man…

It’s Batman. There’s just so much there, especially with all the Robins.

Worst movie ever is American Beauty. Not one single redeeming character in the entire movie. I don’t care how many Oscars it got, it was putrid.
armygirl on February 22, 2009 at 10:59 PM
I liked Battlefield Earth. WTF?
Nothing cooler than seeing John Travolta as an alien – and that accent he used in the flick was hilarious!
“Lev-er-idge!”
HondaV65 on February 22, 2009 at 11:00 PM
My vote’s for Repo Man.
Watched it years ago. Still confused.

Battlefield Earth is handily stinking its way to the poll’s lead.
Deservedly so.
I have a used Scientology tester/meter for sale (found at a junk shop). See how “clear” you are. Check your thetan.

I’ll second that.
Dusty on February 22, 2009 at 11:04 PM
I’m quite happy to say that I’ve seen none of the listed flicks.
Of the movies I have seen, ET is the worst. A dozen holes in the plot and/or illogical happenings. Certainly the most over-rated movie ever.

profitsbeard on February 22, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Gotta agree w/ you re: The Fifth Element. Didn’t like it the first time, kinda like my first beer. You have to see it again to appreciate its genius.
Ditto! I think there was just so much hype over it at the time that i had expectations of it being an epic…which it wasn’t but all in all a very entertaining movie that actually gets better the more you see it. super green
The Only movie i ever asked for my money back after 45 minutes of pure torture was Blair Witch, and i didn’t get it back but i did go home with a nice migraine. Instead of waterboarding we could employ many of the movies on this list ….Just a thought.
Swaydo on February 22, 2009 at 11:17 PM
I’ve always thought ET was mostly Spielberg’s vehicle to market Coca-cola and other products to children when featured prominently, obviously (inescapably) in his films. The film opens with a full screen pullback shot of a frosty beverage being dispensed. The concessions stands in the lobby thank you for your support and patronage and thank Mr. Spielberg for charging you cash to see those advertisements.

Would that then make it a Travoltage probe?
viking01 on February 22, 2009 at 11:19 PM
I have a few quibbles with the list but will restrict myself to the movie that far from being on a lits of worst movies should be on a list of best movies – or at least a list maybe called flawed masterpieces, Artificial Intelligence.

Eraserhead and Wild at Heart are most tolerable if viewed while intoxicated.
Unless one is a committed movie fan. Truly committed. ‘And I mean that literally.
viking01 on February 22, 2009 at 11:25 PM
Joe Versus the Volcano is an excellent movie right up until the third act, in which it seemed the writers died, and the New York Post’s cartoon chimpanzee finished up the script.
DrZin on February 22, 2009 at 11:31 PM
What, no ZARDOZ with Sean Connery?
Jimmy the Dhimmi on February 22, 2009 at 11:32 PM
It’s got to be either “Tales from the Gimli Hospital” (1988) or “Little Dorrit” (1988); none of those that I’ve seen, that in the poll, are even contenders (one of them might be a fourth or fifth place contender.)
htom on February 22, 2009 at 11:32 PM
I voted for Wild Wild West.
The movie stunk so badly that it ruined the possibility of a great Wild Wild West in the future, thereby destroying my favorite childhood series reboot.
If Will Smith gets anywhere near Jonny Quest, I will weep.
bonnie_ on February 22, 2009 at 11:32 PM
War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise was just pathetic as a major release.
roninacreage on February 22, 2009 at 11:32 PM
If only I’d seen this in time to suggest “Nightfall”.
Bill Roper on February 22, 2009 at 11:32 PM
I’m a little surprised Roadhouse isn’t on the list.
Tom Blogical on February 22, 2009 at 11:34 PM
viking01,
Dude, Where’s My Car? is hilarious if you’re stoned… but the best movie to watch while intoxicated is the first Austin Powers flick.
The A.P. sequels recycled so many of the gags from the first one, I knew what was coming throughout the films.
Spiny Norman on February 22, 2009 at 11:34 PM
I’m still amazed that Zardoz isn’t on the poll. None of the movies up there are remotely good, but several of them are light years ahead of Zardoz.
“THe penis is evil. The gun is good.”

Cannonball Run

Much like Killer Klowns from Outer Space but without the humor.
The only way I survived the Liquid Sky turkey all the way through was by being at a college keg party at the time and having my girlfriend to, uh, distract me.

YoungAmerican on February 23, 2009 at 12:11 AM
AI: Artificial Intelligence was a great movie and doesn’t belong on the list. And if not great, it was at the very least, interesting.
Unlike, say, Hook.
YYZ on February 23, 2009 at 12:12 AM
I’m usually pretty forgiving movie-wise, but the one that stands out in my mind is “The Spanish Prisoner”. The lead actress in that movie (don’t know her name) delivered her lines like she was reading them off ill-focused teleprompter. Quite possibly the worst performance of all time.
swash_plate on February 23, 2009 at 12:31 AM
Not a contender for motion pictures because it was a made for TV movie, but there was one movie with David Hasselhoff in it in which he played a cop going into a place being held hostage by some big crime syndicate who were also using a bad cop in the PD to keep one step ahead of Hasselhoff. Frustrated the heck out of me [to Mrs. Federalist's amusement] to the point where I was yelling, “Don’t give him another gun, he’ll just lose it like he did the last dozen guns you showed him with!”
AZfederalist on February 23, 2009 at 12:37 AM
The problem with Artifical Intelligence is that is did not address the title.
It addressed “Pinocchio”.
Great EFX but a pithed script.
No thinking, just reacting.
Worth a look, but it avoided every profound and primal moral / philosophical / psychological / technical issue that AI will force upon us, shortly, and served up shallow wind-up piffle, redneck gags, sex gags, cartoon scientists and superficial fairy tales.
Spielberg’s only speed, it seems.
Kubrick was ill-served after HAL.
The real AI film has yet to be conceived.
Because the current crop of screenwriters don’t know what mentality is, how it developed, what it seeks, or why it wonders.
“The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown of the Bi-Cameral Mind” is as alien to them as Husserl’s “Cartesian Meditations” or the work of Alan Turing, the parable of the Mechanical Nghtingale or the work of Hero of Alexandria.
profitsbeard on February 23, 2009 at 12:40 AM
Her name is Rebecca Pigeon and she is the wife of writer David Mamet.
No nepotism there!
(she’s actually a pretty good actress, but her performance in TSP is very strange. Her delivery of lines is very off-putting, which makes her character very unbelievable.)

Clash of the Titans. A Bridge Too Far.
Last is First on February 23, 2009 at 12:58 AM
Clash of the Titans was good Ray Harryhausen animated stuff. I had to vote for Howard the duck. There was absolutely no reason to make that movie. None. I would rather see every single movie studio on Earth create a different “interpretation” of godzilla than to watch that crap.
Gleep.
gleep on February 23, 2009 at 1:14 AM
Hey! I liked “The Fifth Element”!
My 2-year-old daughter likes the blue alien soprano, at least… (That’s the only part I let her watch!)
newton on February 23, 2009 at 1:14 AM
Sorry Waterworld doesn’t belong on this list, its actually entertaining in its own way.
What’s funny is that the absolute worst movie that I’ve ever seen isn’t even on the list:
THE HAPPENING!!!
People fleeing in panic from breezes?!?!?!?!?!
BayCon on February 23, 2009 at 1:30 AM
That opera singer in the Fifth Element was one of the good parts of the movie. I also liked the taxicabs flying through the air (maybe how we will be driving in the future)
gleep on February 23, 2009 at 1:31 AM
You may want to add pretty much every Best Picture winner at the Oscars, with the benefit of hindsight.
It never fails. A few years after a film wins, people start saying “what were we thinking?!” and “how did we ever like that movie?”
Recent examples include: Crash, American Beauty, A Beautiful Mind.
I happen to think that Slumdog was a great movie, but who knows how I’ll feel in a few years.
YYZ on February 23, 2009 at 1:35 AM

Limerick on February 23, 2009 at 1:42 AM
Shanghai Surprise was the only movie I could not watch after 30 seconds. I cannot believe anyone lived who would release it and call it a movie
Waterworld is a class by itself. It is on cable regularly, only on days I am stuck with nothing to do but watch tv. If it is Oprah or Waterworld I choose Waterworld because with Oprah I want to kill someone, while Waterworld is a slow death so I do no harm to others
This is the true measure of any film. If you are trapped in the waiting room at Muffler Man and the only channel on the tv is tuned to any of the above. You cannot leave or turn down the sound. The mechanic comes out and says it will be about 45 minutes to fix the car. Woe.
entagor on February 23, 2009 at 2:16 AM
Moulin Rouge?
Alright, it was wacky at times, I’ll grant you that, but I think it’s a great movie. Imaginative, unique, and heartbreaking. Some of y’all got some hard hearts. ;-)
On its own, Battlefield Earth probably should win. But based on what they were supposed to be, and what we ended up with, I’ve got to give the nod to the Star Wars prequels.
They collectively are the most disappointing movie release of all time.
Hawkins1701 on February 23, 2009 at 2:36 AM
Oh, and a horrendously stupid film that deserves mention is The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.
Hey, I know, let’s not follow logical science or the actual back stories of these characters. Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s have a vampire woman who isn’t at all fazed by the sun.
What could go wrong?
Hawkins1701 on February 23, 2009 at 2:40 AM
Having wisely avoided most of the movies on the list I’m not I a position to vote for worst. But I liked Shanghai Surprise and don’t think it should be on the list. Although I will grant it would have been much better with two people who belong near a movie camera instead of Sean Penn, and Madonna. Not to speak ill of “Cheech” Marin’s acting. But shouldn’t all of the “Cheech and Chong” movies be on the list.
darktood on February 23, 2009 at 2:49 AM
It’s too bad that Wolf Creek wasn’t in the running, it was horribly awful.
MrsWeebork on February 23, 2009 at 3:07 AM
One of the things I deal with is the problem I have of keeping movies that I’ve seen before straight.
Like in We Were Soldiers, I wondered 1. Where did Barry Peppers Southern accent go and why is he shooting with a camera instead of his sniper rifle and B. When LZ X-ray was being overrun why didn’t he call for one of his buddies in a Psychlos ship to come get him.
Those things in themselves might disqualify me from voting.
hawkdriver on February 23, 2009 at 3:10 AM

MattSkosh on February 23, 2009 at 4:09 AM
Moulin Rouge is getting surprisingly fewer votes that I expected. I’ll have to attribute that to the fact that most Hot Air users were probably smart enough to not watch it in the first place.
Glenn Jericho on February 23, 2009 at 4:13 AM
Big list of incredibly bad flicks. (Why wasn’t Reds listed up there, BTW?)
Went with Boxing Helena based solely on the premise. Didn’t see it, read a review of it.
Sick, twisted, depraved, spawned the torture movie genre…a watershed moment in the decline of American culture.
SuperCool on February 23, 2009 at 5:26 AM
I didn’t get a chance to participate in the last thread, so I’ll give my opinion on some of these films.
Battlefield Earth
I voted for this one primarily because out of all the movies on the list, this was the one that most resembled an Ed Wood movie on such a large budget.
Waterworld
This was better than it should have been considering the issues they had filming it. Kind of like “Snakes on a Plane.”
Wild Wild West
I actually liked this one. It’s just so goofy that I can’t hate it. But has anyone heard the story that director Kevin Smith tells about his experience of working with producer Jon Peters on the Superman sequel and him wanting to put a giant spider in that script, then a year later seeing a giant spider in this film (also produced by Peters)?
Howard the Duck
Car wreck movie — anytime it’s on television, I have to sit there and watch it. I don’t know why, I just do.
Never Been Kissed
This one was a cute film. You guys are just such boys! ;-)
Moulin Rouge
I have this one in my DVD collection. In order to really appreciate it, you have to watch it on TV instead of the theater, because in the theater all the sights and sounds are just too overpowering. I love musicals.
ScoopPC11 on February 23, 2009 at 5:38 AM
Boxing Helena was before it’s time — I don’t remember how many actresses they went through before they found one that was willing to do the movie. I would consider Saw the movie that really kicked off the genre.
ScoopPC11 on February 23, 2009 at 5:41 AM
Last Samurai
or
Memoirs of a Geisha
Not sure, they were both bloody awful. Last Samurai got a few things right: there was an emperor in Japan in the 1860s, there were samurai, but the rest… forget it. I just loved that one interview with Tommy about samurai in which he proved that he knows nothing. And that one scene where Watanabe’s character said “We don’t use guns”. Wow! Who comes up with such shit? No, honestly, you have to be totally retarded to write scripts like that.
Memoirs was based on a really horrible book (and the book was based on hearsay and chit chat Golden had with one geisha -who later got flak from her colleagues for spilling all that crap), so it’s no surprise that the movie totally sucked. Too bad both book and movie are taken at face value by some people.
Penguin on February 23, 2009 at 6:14 AM
I liked Waterworld and Howard the Duck (Jeffrey “Pedophile” Jones was awesome). I can’t believe “Any Steven Seagal Movie Made After ‘Above The Law’” wasn’t on the list.
BTW: Long time reader here at HA but first post. Never could get registered until now.
Lothar Of The Hill People on February 23, 2009 at 6:32 AM
Well, this poll kind of backfired. The winners are mostly ones that people have actually seen, which rules out the really awful ones for most people. I mean, Billy Jack, Xanadu, and Can’t Stop the Music are losing to the Star Wars prequels? Maybe as biggest disappointment, but not flat-out worst movie. No way. I’d take even Phantom Menace over any of the films listed, and the other two were a lot better.
CherokeeJack on February 23, 2009 at 6:33 AM
Leaving Las Vegas.
Johan Klaus on February 23, 2009 at 6:33 AM
Wastelandman: I wouldn’t know if Vanilla Sky was good or bad because I refuse to watch any movie with Tom Cruise in it ever again.
Some of the movies that made the list are actually ok. Why aren’t any of those insipid Chuckie movies on that list? Also, the only movie I have tried three times to watch and cannot make it through without falling asleep is “Singles”. God what a piece of shit movie that was.
SerenityFL on February 23, 2009 at 6:48 AM
Young Guns. When the supposed “Indian” turns to one of the cowboys sitting around the campfire and says, “You know, you’re alright, Steve.” I decided that if that girlfiend really loved me she wouldn’t have dragged me to that horrible movie.
peacenprosperity on February 23, 2009 at 7:22 AM
I’d have voted for Forrest Gump, or Pulp Fiction. Two of the biggest overrated, and downright bad, movies, if you ask me.
Disaster Movie should have been on the list too. That movie sucked out loud.
ynot4tony2 on February 23, 2009 at 7:22 AM
Three words:
LEAVING LAS VEGAS
Seriously. A Movie about a drunk, going to Vegas and drinking himself to death while in the company of a Hooker.
NO. REDEEMING. QUALITIES. WHATSOEVER.
Probably the worst movie Nick Cage has ever made, yet the damn thing won an Academy award! Ugh. Stupid Hollywood.
Incidentally, The Fifth Element and Independence Day are modern classics. Yes, they have some goofy/unbelievable scenes in them, that’s what makes them Sci-fi/Action movies, because they are somewhat silly, slightly irreverent, and FUN fluffy movies to watch. If you couldn’t enjoy them, I suggest you take that stick out of your derriere.
One last one; It’s a really BAD movie that’s just so much fun to watch BECAUSE it’s so bad. In fact, me and my wife watch it every Halloween. Roman Polanski’s “The Fearless Vampire Killers -or – Pardon me, but your teeth are in my neck.”
Absolutely AWFUL movie, but one that’s come so far around the “U” of the rating scale, it’s actually fun to watch. If you can find a copy anywhere, that is.

ScaryBiscuits on February 23, 2009 at 7:57 AM
Out of the ones I saw on this list it has to be the Billy Jack ones. Not merely bad acting and bad plot, but the wrong message. At least Showgirls didn’t pretend to be a “message” movie.
rbj on February 23, 2009 at 8:00 AM
Billy Jack was awesome! I’m going to take my foot and put it on your face and and there isn’t anything you can do about it… BWAAAAA!
sabbott on February 23, 2009 at 8:04 AM
Maybe I missed something but how can “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” not be on the list? I mean, nobody liked that freaking movie. It fails almost as bad as “Battlefield Earth.”
Right-brained on February 23, 2009 at 8:04 AM
Oh yeah, and “Escape From L.A.” Kurt Russel at his finest.
Right-brained on February 23, 2009 at 8:07 AM
What about Meet Dave??
Oh yeah, you said major movie release.
pastorjim67 on February 23, 2009 at 8:07 AM
So many bad movies, but I’m wondering why Moulin Rouge was on the list. Maybe it’s because I’m into musical theater, and love Ewan MacGregor, but I love that movie. My husband too. It’s not the best one of all time, but it doesn’t deserve to be on the same list as Waterworld (awful) and Battlefield Earth.
Starship Troopers and GI Jane should be on that poll. They destoyed Heinlen’s book, and well, GI Jane is self-explainatory.
Anna on February 23, 2009 at 8:17 AM
Gigli hurt my eyes. I was never the same after that.
ErinF on February 23, 2009 at 8:19 AM
This poll has too many choices. I think this should be run more like the NCAAs, with brackets. First you would seed the brackets with the 64 worst movies of all time, and then have people vote. Is Ishtar worse than Showgirls, is Howard the Duckworse than Battlefield Earth, etc… Then the winner (loser) of each match up moves on to the round of 32, and so on.
It is just too much crapulance for the human mind to contain at once to consider a list so long. It becomes a beauty contest, and John Travolta And His Tremendous Codpiece from the opening graphic walks away with the prize…
At least give us a Primary/General Election…
gridlock2 on February 23, 2009 at 8:20 AM
At least multiple voting is allowed. Any poll of bad movies that didn’t allow me to throw at least one vote to Eyes Wide Shut is fundamentally flawed.
gridlock2 on February 23, 2009 at 8:23 AM
I honestly cant believe that “Glitter” isnt up there.
