That would be Plan 9 from Outer Space by the glorious Ed Wood.  Bela Lugosi's last screen appearance.

There's also a movie about Ed Wood, titled Ed Wood



Thats the one! Thanks!

Oh yeah, I cant believe I wached all of Zardoz. I must have been nuts

Won't answer that. Too many of them quality... so I'm going to stick with "worst war movie in recent memory"... and hands down that goes to "The Thin Red Line"

I recall it showed a happy Ukranian village suddenly under attack by the Wermacht, and the reaction of the villagers. Of course, no mention was made of the millions starved to death in the 30's nor the constant terror of life under Stalin's rule. "Mission to Moscow," also with Walter Huston" was made the same year, 1943, and was another film produced to glorify the USSR. How tragic it was that we had to support one vile totalitarian regime in order to defeat another.

Lions Gate seems to put out some pretty low budget crappy movies as well.

omg, Master and Commander may be the BEST movie in its genre, Why? The relationships between the officers, the junior officers men of the gun crews, and the MAster and sergion are developed in greeat detail, with a great score and riviting drama.. just to show U to each his own lol!!!

I especially like how real the scenes are as my house shakes under the subwoofers roar of cannon!




freeboy I am with you there, one of the best movies to test your sub and surround setup on. Great movie to boot.

Spielberg's "1941" and Lucas' "Howard the Duck". Honestly, two of the worst movies ever made. So I take back what I said. "The Battle of the Bulge" was a bad movie, but not the worst. These are much, much worse. Really bad. El Stinko.

I still was looking forward to its release at the theaters-thinking that it was a good action movie. It was shockingly bad-the acting and the whole story. It was made in '81.

What about Flash Gordon? "Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth"

Yeah that movie was HORRIBLE!!! Remember when the hero knocked on the bad guys tank and when he opened the hatch to see what he wanted the hero told him " The good guys always win!"

Flash Gordon was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the comic strip, radio show, and tv show that originally inspired the movie. Camp at its best. I think some folks took it a little too seriously.

And Max Von Sydow as Ming the Merciless was awesomely cartoonish over-the-top evil. Almost as good as his character in Strange Brew.

As for "The Big Red One" I did like it. It's an odd movie. On first release it got totally panned. Then a recent director's cut was made, and the film was MUCH longer and apparently a completely different film as a result. The new release won a Palme d'Or, at Cannes, fairly recently. It is stylized, and maybe unrealistic, but it's just really about 6 men. The rest of the war goes on around them, almost without any context. I found Marvin, who I usually have little time for, strangely moving towards the very end. Give the new DVD a try. I would rate it WELL above Private Ryan, which I think is a lousy movie. The initial stages are frighteningly brilliant, but after that it's just tush, has the "typical" character profiles, and in places it's just nauseatingly sugary.

I would say that every "Ernest" movie ever made was awful, but I have to admit to finding them a hoot, as long as you watch them with a youngster.

I'm also a great fan of Dark Star. I know I'm completely without objectivity about it. Some films just seem right at the time that you watch them. I think you probably need to be fairly high to enjoy it. The crew sure were! and I liked the stupid conversation with the bomb. The film wasn't meant to be serious, except in it's complete (but sadly; oh so common) absurdity.

Totally worst movie - any WW2 John Wayne movie, plus his great artistic high point - The Green Berets!


Have to admit i love his cowboy films though

I too liked The Big Red One.

As for Dark Star, I turned it off after 20 minutes.

I liked Flash Gordon at the time, but being older now I couldn't sit and watch it again!

Sorry about Dark Star Judge - it's all a question of age. I'm ancient and it seemed cool at the time. But, so did paisley shirts!


As for Flash Gordon - it's so kitsch that the older you are, the more you should watch it!

My personal most disliked movie was Leaving Las Vegas. I couldn't wait for Nicholas Cage's character to die and put me out of his misery.

Some highlights from the Wikipedia entry:

the film begins with a Japanese attack on an Allied military camp, which a map reveals to be somewhere in Canada...

femme fatale Lily (Brigitte Lin), who sports knee-high red leather boots and a bazooka...

After obliterating the Amazon tribe...

attacked by sword and axe-brandishing Chinese Nazis riding in 1970s-era muscle cars...

with another killed by a sword in the buttocks..
