I'm going to chime in with those who didn't like the LOTR movies. I don't think they were bad, but I spent most of the first one resisting the urge to look at my watch and the only thing I could think to say when asked if I liked it was "well, it was a very pretty movie" (of course I hated The Hobbit so I wasn't really expecting to love LOTR).
But worst... there are lots of movies I didn't like, but worst would have to be Alexander. People in the audience shouldn't start clapping and cheering when the main character finally dies. The worst part is it could have been better 
Also:
The Blair Witch Project - only scary if you're afraid of trees
The Bumblebee Flies Anyway (not exactly sure of the title) - incredibly depressing and disappointing
A.I. - I have yet to stay awake through the entire thing
Wing Commander - it's so bad, it's almost good
The Cable Guy - I've blocked it from my memory
Most others were simply forgettable. Or from a genre I don't like in general (there are very few 'fantasy' films that I like).
But it's entirely subjective, I've loved some of the movies listed earlier in this thread, ie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Fight Club.

I have only one choice as it trumps all other mentions in my opinion.
The League of Extrodinary Gentleman
the clue to the true tragedy was when they had a car chase on the streets of VENICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I could come up with 10. I actually don't see a lot of movies. Even bad movies I can usually get a hearty giggle out of at the expense of their sheer badness. But I will say this for the good of all humanity-
"Boogeyman" sucked so bad, it leaves me at a loss for a suitable suction-related pun to insult it with. I still can't believe I paid money to see it. Let's just say I was bored most of the way through it, and there was such an unnecessarily long and complicated build-up to the conclusion that I was ultimately served up the most anti-climactic ending in history. The only part I really liked was when the bird hit his windshield, and he hit the windshield-wipers to try to get it off. That was hilarious.
Oh, also, all these sequils Disney is coming out with for their classics. I find it somehow offensive, though I can't quite explain why.

If I must narrow it down to the 10 worst ...
Titantic - simply the worst movie ever made. Cameron BOUGHT every Academy Award it received. He's still performing sexual favors for Best Screenplay.
The Ring - was anything more dumb and less scary?
Pearl Harbor - Almost had me rooting for the Japanese. Almost.
Battlefield Earth - Loved the book. Hated the movie. Ohhhh Travolta, you will answer for dragging Forest Whittaker into this mire.
Dead Heat - Zombie cop movie? At least the Chinese restaurant chickens were humorous.
Barbed Wire - Humphrey Bogart is STILL turning over in his grave as what they did to Casablanca.
Saturn 3 - Why is it Hollywood producers will pair youngish women up with cadaverous geezers and expect us NOT to see their desperate search for a woman who will sleep with them and NOT demand a starring role in return.
For goodness sake, they had to iron Kirk Douglas before every shoot morning to keep his skin in place.
Dante's Inferno - Are we allowed to root for the volcano?
The Day After Tomorrow - Too much and too easy to go into. Simply dreadful.
Any odd-numbered Star Trek movie.

Is that what made him 'king of the world' at the awards that year - he was looking forward to all the nookie?
Not big on disaster movies, huh?
Volcano anyone? It could be an appetizer for Dante's Inferno.
Speaking of Tommy Lee...Men in Black 2.0. It was so obvious they were having fun doing the 1st one, and so obvious they hated the 2nd one with a firey loathing. Wonder why. Bad bad movie, go lay down by your dish and ask Joss to write you next time.
The Towering Inferno should have been dropped off the edge of the tower before being released.
The Poseidon Adventure. The song alone qualifies this one for the hall of shame.
Transylvania 6-5000.Ok, I loved this movie because it was so very very bad. Does that count?
Thanks to viral marketing...SERENITY: reopening soon in a theater near you.
Shiny Trees! Yavanna made Shiny Trees!

I thought I was the only one! That movie BORES me to TEARS! Why does everyone else love it so much?
Other movies to avoid Kung Fu Hustle and Kung Pow:Enter the Fist, that's 4 hours of my life I will never get back. My husband forced me to watch them.

I can't believe I forgot to add Catwoman to my list the first time... simply awful.

These are really BAD movies:
Lost in Translation - and the point being...?
Bewitched (The Movie) - Nichol Kidman is adorable, but the rest of the movie stunk.
Elektra - Say, didnt she die in Daredevil?
Star Trek 3 - They really should have left Spock dead.
Star Trek V - The writer and director of this one should be sexually defiled by a genetically altered rhino live on CNN.
Star Trek Nemesis - I don't even want to talk about it.
Charlie's Angels - Yuck!
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -Waited forever just to see this good book raped on the movie screen.
Little Black Book - I love Brittney Murphy, but the rest of the movie stunk.
Starship Troopers 2 - I couldnt believe that they had the nerve to even make this movie.
You've Got Mail - The writer should shoot himself
SuperGirL - BAD movie, but the actress who plays SuperGirL is great.
Jurassic Park III - What was that...JAWS 3?
What Women Want - S.T.U.P.I.D.
Ms Congeniality 2 - I love Sandra Bullock, and the 1st movie was fuuny and good...this one sucks.
The Blair Witch Project - We get to watch some stupid, unarmed people go off into the woods where there are rumors of people vanishing.
The Day After Tomorrow - My ex-husband worked on that film so I completely hate it.
The Poseidon Adventure - Bad but watchable
The Poseidon Adventure 2 - This has to be THE worst movie in Earth's history.
Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions - They couldnt leave well enough alone could they?
Dumb And Dumber - Enuff said
Picnic at Hanging Rock - Where do these writers come from?

Gladiator. Normally I love a bad sword and sandals movie, but when it's supposed to be historical, try not changing the entire history of Rome, okay?
Legend of the Rollerblade Seven. Maybe it would be comprehensible if you happened to be on the same drugs as the filmmakers were when they made it. Later, I found out it was middle in a trilogy of movies, the others being, of course, The Rollerblade Seven and Return of the Rollerblade Seven. I almost want to watch these just so I can see if they make more sense when you see them all, but that way lies madness.
Fight Club. I liked it alright up until the twist. At that point, I found myself wondering...if you saw a guy beating the crap out of himself in a parking lot, would you idolize him and want to follow him? If it was as slick as a lot of people think, it wouldn't have a plot hole you could drive a truck through.
And finally, speaking of plot holes, the all-time winner is The Ring. It's pretty, with good visuals and clean effects. But the story just makes no sense at all. There's too much to go into here, but a major one is, why didn't she ask her son about the girl earlier? He always knew more about what was going on than she did, and she knew that, but she didn't bother to ask him if the girl was a victim or just evil. Because if she had, there wouldn't have been a movie.

Well, some people would certainly be somewhat curious, wouldn't they? Some people might even go over and see what it was all about, and maybe some would even stick around to see what else this guy had to say. They didn't idolize him because he beat the crap out of himself, they idolized him because he was espousing a philosophy that seemed to fit with where they were in their life.
