I'd say one of the worst movies I've ever seen is the horrible Martin Lawrence vehicle Black Knight. It is basically a one-joke movie, and even that one joke, which is Martin Lawrence's contrast with the Middle Ages, isn't funny. I saw it on a bootleg videotape a year ago my extended family brought with them, and the quality of the tape was almost as poor as the movie itself. I think I lost interest like 20 minutes into the thing, and stopped watching altogther 20 minutes later. And that, by all definitions, is a baaddd movie. Yuck.
By the way, I happen to think that Anger Management and Cable Guy are two very underrated comedies. I'm not a picky man when it comes to comedies, believe it or not, because comedies have the luxury of being able to promise very little, and a great deal of comedies out there, even the most hated ones, usually deliver what they promise (with Black Knight a big exception, of course), and that's an acceptable movie to me. Which leads me back to the fact that I don't like epics, because they gallantly, and sometimes pompously, promise tons, and a good deal of those epics don't deliver what they promise (Pearl Harbor, anyone?), and even if they do deliver what they promise, it's just stereotypical melodramatic epic stuff all the way that I see. And speaking of epics, Hill Dawson Kane, I would prepare for a severe thrashing by a good deal of all the LOTR fanatics on the site right about now. Hell hath no fury like a LOTR fan scorned, especially just after Return of the King comes out. You've been warned.

"Plan 9 From Outer Space"
That, and most of Ed Wood's films. However, they are good for a laugh. Not because they are funny, but funny to laugh at.
The worst film I've seen recently, hmm.. "Matrix Revolutions" I was disappointed in how that story played out. It was cool action (the first film) until it became overly pretentious, overwrought, and over indulged. "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" Just what the hell was Gus Van Sant thinking? "Psycho" Just what the hell was Gus Van Sant thinking?
I didn't mean to mention Van Sant twice, I actually like some of his work, but those two just came to mind almost immediately...

In real life as well as movie culture, it seems like people just hate things that get too big. Remember "Gangster's Paradise" by that Collio guy? Every 6th grader loved that song until one day, everyone was like **** THAT SONG! And everyone hated it.
A better example: Titanic. Reguardless of if you liked it or not, it made over a billion dollars while in theaters. That means a lot of people liked it. Yet, in a worldwide survey that was concluded a month ago, Titanic was rated the worst movie of all time. No matter what your currrent opinion is of it right now, does the whole planet feel it is worse than "Black Knight," "Anger Managment?" or (enter bad movie here ___)? No way. Not when it makes that kind of money.
A lot of people do actually hate these big movies, and that's cool. But when something gets too big, it almost becomes cool to hate it. After that, only slight disliking of something is blown up to the point where it's not just "a bad movie" it's "THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE...because, perhaps, that's the only way to contrast the highly positive opinions of people who are huge fans.
Do people think Steven Speilberg is a bad director? A really bad director? Yah. But THE WORST DIRECTOR EVER? Look at the whole picture...can he really be worse than the guy who directed "Critters 4: Critters in space?" Or "Return of the little matchstick girl?" No way, but Speilberg is big, therefore criticism is blown way the hell out of preportion to match his status.
The Green Goblin in Spider Man wrapped it up best when he said something to the effect of "The one thing people like more than a hero is to see a hero fall."
But hey, maybe people deeply believe that Matrix 3 was worse than The Glimmer Man and feel Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is worse than Ghost of Mars. So. There you go.
