Well....
I sorta' "got it" from a website.....

Wanna see it?

I've been wanting to see it since I first heard of it but the buzz died down without any apparent release here.
 
Two other movies came to mind today:

"Mars Attacks" staring Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, and Danny DeVito, with Sarah Jessica Parker, Martin Short, Natalie Portman, Michael J. Fox, and Christina Applegate. I continue to appreciate Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call" as alien repellent. I am sure the aliens do too.

The Beastmaster starring Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, John Amos and Rip Torn. This is amazingly bad, but it's hard to look away.

Ip man...

I like that movie and Ip Man 2 and so did most of the viewers on NetFlix. They have among the highest ratings there. Dang few achieve a 5 star rating.
Maybe it was too aimed at an adult audience than for the younger set...maybe.

I've watched some pretty terrible Kung Fu movies and Ip Man isn't one of those plus it's based on a living man. He was Bruce Lee's Master.
 
OK, I admitted this before in a previous similar thread, but I love:

From the past Event Horizon – I was blown away by the images of tools, etc floating in zero G.

From the present Battlefield Los Angeles – Yeah I know, Blackhawk Down with aliens. Still, Michelle Rodriguez makes it eminently rewatchable. I love when she says something to the effect of “I didn’t get where I am on my good looks alone” when asked if she was ready to use her rifle. Confident, sexy woman = turn on. Similar role in Avatar. Is she being typecasted? I sure hope so.

How about The Last Starfighter?

Sorry for the following hijack……………………………..

Re: Promtheus

I got my wife to watch it with me tonight. She constantly reminds me she doesn’t like sci-fi, has never watched any of the Alien movies, yet she watched the entire movie. Even paused it when she went to get something from the kitchen.

So, why did the Engineers leave a map on Earth to their weapons depot?- not to mention the fact they’ve been using it for 35,000 years. Maybe it was in case if they got to Earth and after getting tired of being worshipped forgot where they came from so they left themselves a hint? No wait, that doesn’t make sense……………………………………

As a scientist she WANTS to believe the Engineers created humans without any evidence!! – actually, I liked her response. In the dream sequence David watched – first Ash tries to choke Ripley by cramming a porno mag down her throat, then David peeps in on peoples dreams. Are all robots perverts in the future? – her father says wherever you go after you die it’s beautiful. She asks how do you know? He responds it’s what I choose to believe (OK I watched this movie way too many times.) So her saying she chooses to believe the engineer made us is a riff on her childhood memories.

Man I hope finding alien civilizations will be this easy. Got to a planet and turn left. – without even orbiting the rock a few times and using their advanced imaging to have a look see. I guess if they found nothing in the first 10 minutes or so of looking they would have just turned around and just went home?

No one tries to keep the silly android from randomly pushing buttons and opening doors when the team are wearing no helmets. – and when she does tell him it’s not a good because they don’t know what’s behind the ………… it opens and he replies “Oops, sorry.” You just can’t trust robots in the future.

and starts killing people – and their helmets all of a sudden become cheap, glass fishbowls that break into a million pieces when attacked even though Dr. Shaw’s withstood the impact of being bashed into a landing strut by 200 km winds.

And for a species with such technological abilities, their recordings really suck. – and what’s the deal with the flute? Geez, we upgrade the old 6 v with generator electrical system to12 v with alternator when we restore cars. Surely there must be an upgrade for the flute. I can see it now – Do you have the flute? I thought you had the flute in your pocket. That’s not the flute. I thought you had it in your pocket. That’s not the flute either. I can’t believe you lost the damn flute. It once belonged to Steven Stills.

When the alien craft is knocked out of the sky by the Prometheus, falls back to the ground – at a 45 or so degree angle despite moving forward and being hit by an accelerating spacecraft of considerable mass.

Did either of us mention that it takes place between 2089 and 2093? That’s a bit optimistic……………………………..

I could go on and on.... – yeah, me too, but you’ll probably watch it again? I know I will.
I should mention that I rented it on ATT Uverse and the rental lasts until midnight on 2/22/13!

I was going to suggest that film, too.

AOTKT is probably the only intentionally bad film that is actually funny in the way that some unintentionally bad films are.

My vote goes to Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Stupid, low budget movie, but I love it.
 
I'll add Starship Troopers to the list. The only thing it shares with Robert Heinlein's classic is the name. The rest is pure Hollywood dreck.

As for Battlefield Earth...loud. Very loud. Lots of breaking glass.
 
Another good bad one is Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson. It's especially fun if you can somehow con a classic film buff into watching it with you. See how long it takes him to realize that it's a remake of ______. :)

Skyline. Just plain awful, a strong candidate for the worst movie I have ever seen. Do not even attempt to watch it unless you have a large group of snarky, obnoxious friends to MST3K it to death or you have a very good therapist. You have been forewarned.

Thankfully I had forgotten about that movie until now. I don't think it qualifies as a best worst movie---maybe a worst worst movie--just awful !!
 
Yeah, that one is just plain worst. My dad inflicted it upon us this weekend while we were camping. He put it on and then went to bed. But we did get some enjoyment out of making merciless fun of it. I don't know if that made up for the emotional damage though. :)

Along those lines, I recommend Illegal Aliens. Anna Nicole Smith's last movie also stars professional wrestler Chyna in a movie everyone knew was otherwise horrible, but they still seemed to have fun with it [Chyna barely able to keep a straight face while obviously over-acting, for instance]. You're not supposed to take it seriously; the director breaks the fourth wall to tell you as much, mid-way through.
