Titanic- Easy to knock because of its success but go back and have a look at how bad it really is
Battlefield Earth- See a few of you have it in, absolute must for this list I think
All the Morcambe & Wise movies
The Are you being served movie
Batman & Robin with George Clooney- He's provided more entertainment beating up producers in British nightclubs than this
Jaws with Michael Caine (3?). He didn't even watch it himself
Zardoz- Although massivly entertaining. Never seen it? Rush out and find it for James Bond as you have never seen him before
40 Day and 40 Nights- Josh Hartnett. Usualy a sign of quality I know
Bugsy- Worked for Bonnie in Clyde for half the time
Alexander- Only my favorite director could have the genius to make something so bad

Some of your worst are my favourites, but, to quote Emperor Joseph II, "Well, there you have it!". One may reasonally evaluate films by both sundry technical criteria and by one's own "entertainment" score. By my own personal "entertainment value" meter, some of my faves include(not in any particular order):
(1) Gladiator
(2) Deep Blue Sea
(3) The Egyptian
(4) Crash
(5) The Gift
(6) Star Wars V - Empire Strikes Back
(7) A Christmas Carol (Alastair Sim)
(8) Pearl Harbor (Ben Affleck, etc.)
(9) Khartoum
(10) The Passion
(11) Love! Valour! Compassion!
(12) Kill Bill
(13) Aliens
(14) Pitch Black
(15) The Last Samurai
(16) Kingdom of Heaven
(17) Amadeus
(18) Finding Nemo
(19) Ghost in the Shell (anime - both parts)
(20) The Messenger (Joan of Arc)
(21) Ninja Scroll (anime)
I do watch these films repeatedly and always find merit in so many aspects of their production - it's a varied list, and I see lots of entertainment and, in some cases erudition, great talent in each of these films.

In no order:
1)Constantine- Didn't get any of it, I think it was just another 'cool effects' film. And they weren't amazing.
2)Soul Survivors- Sorry Eliza but this just plain sucked.
3)Scary Movie- Didn't laugh once.
4)Star Wars I- I thought II and III were enjoyable enough, but this was painful.
5)Van helsing- Almost put me off vampires. The worst Dracula film I've seen.
6)Robocop 2- I like 1 & 3, the jetpack is cool! But this one was a mess.
7)Hollowman- Just because
8)Last Action Hero- Had Arnie in it as himself *shudder*
9)Universal Soldier 2- Another case of first one being decent and the sequel being incredibly bad.
10)Scary Movie 2- Havent seen it but I cant think of any more

To those who said Lord of the Rings.
Are you seriously telling me that you can't think of 10 movies worse than the LOTR movies? None?
I think that you are hating LOTR simply because it's so popular and are trying to set yourself apart and be "cool" by not liking it. The LOTR movies cannot possibly be in the 10 WORST movies you've ever seen. Unless you've only seen a small handful of movies in your lifetime.
If you honestly dislike the movies, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But you also can't honestly say that they're the WORST movies. If anything, you have to appreciate all the work and effort that went into them.

I once went on a date which was going fairly well till we got to films. I said; "there's one film I really hate...” etc ...
He paused, looked down at his plate, sighed and said in a tiny voice; "that's my favourite film, but anyway ..."
I'm sure you can imagine the sudden and inevitable downward spiral of an evening that ensued...

Okay, I'm lost, I'm angry, and I'm
armed.
That's my favourite movie too. I love it to bits... so keep away from me
and as for musicals... well I watched Phantom of the Opera a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it. I thought I would cos I liked the songs in it, but I loved it even more than I thought I would
Other great musicals are Singin' in the Rain, West Side Story and Once More With Feeling (The Buffy Musical Episode)

Amen to that.
here's my list of the worst:
Battlefield Earth (Have a tasty rat!)
Catwoman (Or Cat-Stripper, as I call it)
The Crow 3&4 (4 especially dissapointed me, since it starred David Boreanaz as the villain, and was directed by the guy who made Six String Samurai, a film I included in my list of overlooked gems)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Didn't love the first one either, but this one was an atrocity.)
Soldier (ugh... good cast, good premise, awfull movie)
Hudson Hawk (One of my best friend's favorites, and always a topic of debate between us)
Batman and Robin (Made my eyes bleed)
Highlander 2 (Well shot, and that's about all the good I have to say for it)
And just to throw in on the topic of Gump, I didn't hateit, but I didn't love it (though I have to admit I cried when he's at Jenny's grave). But I still think it's a crime that Gump beat The Shawshank Redemption for best picture. Shawshank is one of my all-time favorites.

But not bad.

The Ring with SMG. Fortunately there can be only one.
Speaking of which, there was a Highlander movie I walked out on not that long ago.
Now, on to whole catagories! Why stop at single attrocities?
Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme.
LOTR. Looked real purdy, sucked real real bad. What a waste, Peter Jackson, you really could have, but you really didn't.
Anything with the possibility of a fight scene involving Yoda, or anyone (except Chris) speaking that gobbeldygook Jar Jar language. Should be shot. On sight. From a cannon. Into a volcano. Wearing chainmail from LOTR.
Anything by way of Broadway from the past 20 years. I don't condem the genre, but the current crop of writers (that's right, I meant all living writers of musicals) are frighteningly terrible and appalingly self-congratulatory, and some of them even have souvenier gloves from the queen. Crikey!
Romantic Comedy. When have I ever seen a good one? I don't think so, unless you count Kevin Smith, and that's stretching the genre into another dimension. OK, I ammend that to romantic comedy produced after 1967, because there is a stack of old ones I really like, but I think Guess Who's Coming to Dinner killed the genre.
Jason. Movies.
Vin Deisel approaches Jean Claude and Steven Segal in terms of the purity of the awful.
YORG! I think it's best to avoid any encounter with Robert Benigni. Especially when he's allowed to speak.
UNREG! A chorus line of barf, thank you so much.
SENT! Ooooh, Lost Highway, bad very bad.
XXlll! I see your Zardoz and offer you Plan 9
Thanks to viral marketing...SERENITY: reopening soon in a theater near you.
Shiny Trees! Yavanna made Shiny Trees!
