That may be the worst voted movie for the sake of it, but I recomend a sane viewing of Len Cella's "Moron Movies." I saw it at Blockbuster, thinking it'd be 100 funny short independent films, but it turns out it's just 1 guy with a camera and 100 of the worst skits known to man. I think I lost about 3 of my friends when I showed it at a sleepover..
Out of the 50+ movies I've seen in the last 2 months, some of the best were:
Menace II society Dog day afternoon The 25th hour Tora Tora Tora Das Boot
