Lord of the Rings 2 (Twin Towers or whatever) - I haven't seen the first one but I refuse to believe it would have made any difference. Boring boring boring.
Kill Bill 2. I had seen, and quite enjoyed, the first one, but this was almost impossible to sit through. It's a bit taboo, I find, when your watching a dvd with other people to bring up the fact that what you are watching is utterly terrible. When it finished we all agreed it was rubbish though, so it was a bit "Why didn't you say something earlier?"

the shawshank redemption!
i hate everything about this film, but most of all the way it is held up by so many people in such great esteem. how many times have we all heard something like "well i'm not much of a film buff....... but obviously there is the shawshank redemption, now there's a great film"
fuck off.
i liked LOTR2 though :]

Darned cockwombles.
Good Will Hunting - as I remember, the most gratuitous introduction of child abuse into a character's history as 'motivation'. Worse than that, it starred Robin Williams.
Sleepy Hollow deserves a mention for achieving so little with a fairly stellar cast.

Off the top of my head, an absolute stinker par excellence was Alec Baldwin's sub-Indy 1930s supernatural shitfest The Shadow. Heard of it? Thought not.
There's Showgirls, of course, which does at least have the redeeming feature of the most unintentionally hilarious sex scene in cinema history (the infamous 'pool fuck'). Star Wars eps. I and II were lame beyond belief (to be fair, so was ep III, bar the light-sabre action, which mercifully accounted for most of the film). The second Jurassic Park film was pretty shite, too.
I've not seen Juno, but everything I've heard about it makes it sound like the worst piece of buttbarf ever committed to celluloid. I could be wrong, of course, but I'm not willing to risk it.

I can't remember the name of it but I was on an 18 hour flight and some Julia Roberts monstrosity came on about her best friend getting married or something and she falls in love with the wrong guy.
It was excruciatingly awful and I will usually watch any old shite quite happily.
Honorary mention:
A film I saw at the Scala called "The Claw" or something, which basically features about 45 minutes of two people walking through a wood, 2 minutes of them having sex and then about ten minutes of blood fest whilst they are attacked by... (can you guess?)

Let's Talk About Ceps
...a crazed WW2 veteran who was the result of an early bionics experiment gone wrong, abandoned by his parents and brought up by a wise old Chinese dude who taught him kung-fu to enable him to take revenge on the drug-dealing gangsters who killed his uncle, thus enabling him to win back the love of his high-school sweetheart who left him for the big blond meathead jock character who's secretly a Nazi?
*breathes*
Well, was it?

What, just a claw, by itself? Well it's original, at least, I mean it could have been something really predictable like a bear.

That was on telly the other day. I rather like it - it's quite a different film from the first part which in a way confused me but I think that overall that was a positive. I like films with references in as well I'm afraid.
Maybe not the worst film but it's definitely the most overrated.
Showgirls is often held up as the worst film but I've never seen it all the way through so I don't feel able to comment.
Not The Blood On Satan's Claw? Plot doesn't sound the same but that is a pretty terrible film about a claw - there can't be too many of them can there?

Other perennial favourites for worst of all time (none of which I've seen) are: Plan 9 From Outer Space, Gigli, Battlefield Earth - do they deserve their reputations? Can Ed Wood really be worse than Doris Wishman? The films by her I've seen barely qualify as films

I'm interested in Heaven's Gate - I've heard people say that that is actually pretty good and that it's reputation (as the ultimate stinker) is unfairly inflated as it was so over budget that it destroyed United Artists.
Anyone ever seen Deafula? It may not be the worst film ever but surely it's the worst ever premise (a deaf vampire obviously).

It's really esteemed by people with a certain especially appalling middlebrow tastes (i know that sounds highly snobbish but it is my honest opinion!) It's basically a bit like the Foo Fighters.
