There was this movie I saw once, but can't remember the name of that was terrible. It was something about evil alien invaders. I think it had Ryan Styles, or someone from Who's line is it anyway? They were martians came to earth to do something, but ended up falling in love or something like that. It was really dumb. Does anyone know what that was called?
It was supposed to be bad, but it just wasn't particularly entertaining.

I nominate "bodyguard". bleh. *shudders*
the worst recent movie I saw was that one with J. Lo and Jane fonda. Now I may be biased because I have an aversion to Jennifer Lopez, but just about the only funny part (and this was meant to be a comedy) was when the guy said "I like you because you're so honest, so natural" to J Lo and the entire audience bu ...[text shortened]...
SPICEGIRLS-the movie
now please, show me something that can beat that. Do I hear silence? 😀

I am going to get shot down in flames for this one, but screw it...
2001: A Space Odyessy.
Hailed as one of the greatest films of all time but - nothing happened! And all that nothing happened very very slowly. A horrendously dull film IMHO.
'Nothing happened' in 2001 because you have no imagination. If you did have, you would, as they say, "get it."
Originally posted by BowmannThanks. I'm now one of an elite few. I preferred the Mad magazine satire. I also agreed that it was overrated, not the worst.
A few people totally miss the point of almost every scene. You are one.

PS Have you a nomination, or are you going to continue sniping from the sidelines?
The Beast from Yucca Flats,Tor Johnson's last movie role(thank goodness). No dialogue,except for a voice-over announcer who is obviously reading from cue cards,"actors" who just stand around,and camera work that looks like someones home movies on their vacation.Next to this turkey,Ed Wood IS Orson Welles!

Glen or Glenda? by Ed Wood.
Really, any Ed Wood film is completely unwatchable, even for all its kitsch.

I'm not wholly with you in this but I tend to agree. It's grossly over-rated. I sat through the whole thing as a 15 year old and left underwhelmed. Yes, it was interesting. but that was it. The ending with the obelisk and chimps/apemen was just stupid. I didn't understand the deathbed scene and still don't.
Childhoods end. This was the idea mankind was headed to a
kind of mental singularity where brain power sort of merges into
a planetary consciencness and makes a kind of superbrain(god?)
In that story, some aliens who had thousands of years of development
on us, highly intelligent, able to read 50,000 words per minute,
learn languages like we learn songs, etc., but never achieved this
next step in development but were aware of our impending
evolutionary step coming. So they sent some of them (one, I think)
to monitor the whole affair, but it wasn't till late in the book they
revealed to a select few the real reason they were there. Most people
thought they were there somehow sitting in judgement on the human
race but they really wanted to get clues to the mental singularity.
I think in 2001 the story was changed a bit by having an advanced
race introduce a marked increase in mental capacity when the
neanderthals or Cro mags were around, giving them(us) a
jump start on evolution. Then the deathbed scene was supposed
to indicate a rebirth to a new exalted state which was not made
very clear for sure. I think they should have made Childhoods End into
a movie, not 2001, it had a much better twist at the end.

Jim Carrey is more of a facial contortionist than an actor.
Ben Stiller is destined to be known for silly meet the fockers kind
of flicks. Ben Aflack ( I keep thinking of that duck in the insurance
commercial) is probably the best of this bunch, he was ok in
Goodwill hunting. I loved Minnie Driver in that flick.
