What's The Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?

We’ve all suffered through bad movies. Perhaps the wisest among us have suffered through only the beginnings of bad movies. But in any case, we all have movies we wish we could unsee or just wish we could get back the time we wasted watching. There are several categories to consider here: least entertaining, most awful superficial content, most awful themes and messages, worst acting, lowest production value, etc. But my own personally preferred category is movies that you hated but everyone else seemed to love. So, what are yours?

Callers' Nominations:
Charlie--The Thin Red Line
Stephanie--Fun with Dick and Jane
Brian--AI:Artificial Intelligence, The Happening
Bob--Running with Scissors
Doug--Very Bad Things
David--8mm
Bron--The Big Bounce
Glen--Hostel
Claude--Zoolander
Keith--Judge Dredd
Dave--The Exorcist


My Examples--Movies Many People Dislike
Rambo
--Most evil movie I think I've ever seen, and that's stiff company!
Harold and Kumar 2, 8 mm, Doogal, Crank, Doomsday, Walk Hard, Wendel Baker Story, Starsky and Hutch, Idiocracy, The Heartbreak Kid, Dodgeball, Click, Domino, Jumanji, Scary Movie and all sequels, Snakes on a plane, Aliens Versus Predator: Requiem, Dukes of Hazzard, Wild Wild West, Onion Movie, Untraceable, Good Luck Chuck, Shoot ‘Em Up, Superbad

My Examples--Movies Other People Like
Neverending Story, American Psycho, There Will Be Blood, Titanic (a beatiful movie that advertises premarital sex for 3 1/2 hours), Napoleon Dynamite, Zoolander (which has Ferrell, Stiller, and Wilson), There’s Something About Mary, The Incredibles, Wild Hogs

There CANNOT be a movie lacking a point anymore than "A River Runs Through It." I felt like I had been violated by the loss of the 2-3 hours spent watching that insult-to-call-it-cinema garbage. But at least I'm not bitter!!!
