lol...

I thought Hanibal was okay.

Funny story... I've never seen Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal...but I have seen Red Dragon. This is just a side note, do you see? This has nothing to do with the thread, do you see?!

Check out Silence of the Lambs - it's a good film. Hannibal wasn't the worst of all time, but for me it was a crushing disappointment. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't grab me.

The English Patient
Star Wars II
Ice Age III

I'm sure you meant Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones

Just for clarification.

I thought Ice Age 3 was okay, while 2 just sucked.

RottenTomatoes just released its list of the worst movies of the last ten years. [link]

The #1 worst movie? You're all wrong. It was

Spoiler

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

Larry the Cable Guy is in so many of the others you have to wonder.

Thankfully the 3rd one never got into production (though there was a screenplay).

The flat out worst movie Ive ever seen is probably Manos: The Hands of Fate. Plan Nine and The Creeping Terror are bad in that epicly entertaining way. I can have more fun watching those movies than I can with a good movie. Manos is just garbage though. Might as well be 2 hours of static for all the sense it makes. Without the MST3k commentary I could never finish it.

As far as "real" movies go - the worst movie I have ever payed money to see is probably the Blair Witch Project. To this day I completely fail to understand the appeal of that movie.

It was an interesting list, however their #1 worst movie???!!! granted it was a piece of shite, but NOT the worst! Dang, just the stars alone make it worth watching ... kinda ... when drunk ...

For me, the worst movie -- and the only movie that I have ever walked out on -- and at a dollar theater in the middle of a blistering summer, no less -- is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Pass on this one unless you think you want to see Johnny Depp give his best Thurston Howell III impression. It is agonizing, it makes no sense, and though it is about drugs, I don't think even drugs would help.
Watching this movie just makes you want to wipe and flush.

In the last decade only. And based on published reviews and box office, not anyone's personal taste.

I agree with that 100%. Wipe and flush - a perfect description!

/gasp! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas isn't about doing drugs and not making sense...it was about the death of a generation. The movers and shakers of the sixties feeling lost between the prim-and-proper fifties and the sell-out the hippies made in the seventies and eighties for the mortgage, the 2 cars, the 2.5 kids, the white picket fence. Hunter S. Thompson dares to ask, "What are the consequences of this?" I highly recommend the book. Thompson is one of the most brilliant writers and political commentators.

But....the movie may have focused too much on drugs. =/ I'll give you that.

I can say that I have not seen any of the movies on that list...thank god

From that list I've seen Zoom, Date Movie, Battlefield Earth, and part of The Master of Disguise. Zoom was just forgettable, the rest were bad. Date Movie was a horrible, unfunny mess, and I'm glad I've not seen any of the others they've done since the Scary Movie films.

Speaking of drugs and/or inebriation, I still wonder what substances John Boorman was under the influence of when he made Zardoz, one of the most inane films I've ever seen. People love to slam Kubrick for being pretentious, but Boorman is the guy who gives pretention a bad name. How did Zardoz ever get green-lit? (Oh I know, because Boorman had made Deliverance earlier, a genuinely good film.)

And he then went and redeemed himself supremely with Excalibur.

Zardoz has some nice ideas in it, but I just couldn't get past Connery's costume:

*gasp*
