1. 1.4 Zombie Nation (2004)
2. 1.4 Ben & Arthur (2002)
3. 1.5 Who's Your Caddy? (2007)
4. 1.6 Witless Protection (2008)

According to the poll on everyonesacritic.net, as of January 31, 2008, the top ten worst rated movies are:

One of the best sites on the subject is Wikipedia -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_considered_the_worst_ever
They have lots of entries for various categories which I think renders the opinions much more reliable. For instance, look at these categories:
B-Movies
Glen or Glenda (1953)
Robot Monster (1953)
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)
I love the descriptions like “Unwatchable”
Poorly executed adaptation
Catwoman (2004)
Alone in the Dark (2005)
BloodRayne (2006)
Poor comedy
Leonard Part 6 (1987)
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)
Underground Comedy Movie (1999)
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
The Master of Disguise (2002)
There are so many bad movies out there – you could search for hours and never even scrape the surface. The Wikipedia site is the best
Fileboy got me thinking. He’s an amateur when it comes to knowing garbage. I mean he might have a nose for one or two stinkers from time to time, but the guy just doesn’t have the expertise to really be offering opinions here (i.e. worst songs, worst cars, worst storms etc.). So I checked out the web for some professional advice and found that they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about either. For instance, I tried to find out what the worst movies of all time are. Nobody agrees – Here are a bunch of sites that are supposed to be the experts on shit – and I do mean shit. See for yourself.

Audience polls
Certain sites attempt to gauge the opinion of their audience regarding the worst film ever via voluntary poll. However, since respondents tend to be self-selected, these polls are not scientifically rigorous and should not be considered definitive. Additionally, these polls tend to fluctuate wildly in reaction to recent films.

I don't want to give anything away but I'm considering a post about the best gods ever, or possibly the best/worst religions ever.
You're right though, my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. I've only been around for 30-some odd years. For example, I bought a dvd at Happy Harrys that had pictures of Laurel and Hardy and "Our Gang" on it and it was called something like "All Time Great Comedy shows" or something (what a misnomer!). The dvd box promised "9 hours of fun and laughter". Well, I'd say about 15 of the 20 movies/shows were not only black and white but also without sound. Its great for about 3 minutes to watch the subtitles and wonder how people used to get by watching this crap, but after that its just awful. I'd rather watch Juwanna Man than a black and white pre-talkie, wouldn't you? So all of these lists from wikipedia, etc... have the caveat that they only include relatively "watchable" films. Or should I say "hearable" films. Non-hearable films are horrible. So you're really giving us lists of non-horrible films. Or that is, horrible films that are hearable, and therefore in some sense "watchable". Not to say they aren't also horrible. Let me explain. Horrible films can be hearable or non-hearable. The hearable can also be unwatchable, but all non-hearable films are horrible and therefore unwatchable.
I think that clears it up.
You're right. Exactly correct. I think these best-of worst-of lists can get a lot of play. They'll really start to get interesting when we start running out of things to categorize. At that point, we'll start sounding like the Academy Awards . . .
Now, the award for best supporting dutch actress in a snuff film where the protagonist is wearing only one shoe . . . (faint applause)
(the applause would only be faint if Liu wasn't there)
