Both are bad films, but quite enjoyable after a few beers (I have a soft spot for Species in particular) and like 99% of the film mentioned here they are far from the worst film ever made.
You guys have got to watch more films, because most of you are simply talking about films you didn't like and some of you are mentioning films simply to provoce a reaction. The worst film ever made would have to be technically incompetent on every level, terribly acted, boring offensive and ugly to look at and the likes of Blade Runner, A.I. or American Beauty just don't cut it.
Check out something like "SS: Experiment Love Camp" or any film by Doris Wishman (The Amazing Transplant, Deadly Weapons) if you want to get close.

it's amazing the desire of people on this thread to suggest extremely popular or critically acclaimed films as 'the worst film ever.' they must realise that they are not, even if they do hate them personally, so much more because they know they are being different and thinking independently. big fucking deal. this is about the worst film ever, not about people's insecurities and desire to be different
Reno said:
I don't buy that except in the most literal sense. yes, of course, the worst film ever is probably some badly made, no-budget, no script piece of shit that most of us will never even hear about, let alone see. I bet nobody here has ever seen the worst film ever by that criteria.
So what actually ends up getting listed is either big films that were shit, films that fell short of their ambitions or were missed opportunities or big films that were mystifyingly well-regarded when they're clearly absolute toilet.
Hence American Beauty.
Feel free to have a 'worst film' thread by your criteria, but i doubt anyone of us would even be able to post on it

Species was quite funny admittedly, starts when Kingsley and his pals are standing around at the first scene of alien activity, looking like plums.
How about 'Body of Evidence'?

specious arrogant bollocks, unless you're a mindreader.
Are you claiming:
a) to know why people have picked the films they have?
b) to have access to some objective list of criteria by which films must be judged to be considered bad?
what toss

I'm sure by the very limited criteria you and Reno are touting, there are much worse films.

a) look weehead READ the feckin thread and you will see people admit this. they picked it cos it was so overrated / their mates were banging on about it / the critics were wanking over it.
b) i started the thread purely because i stumbled upon that hulk hogan film and i wondered if there any films that could beat it for pure awfulness. in retrospect perhaps i should have included some clearer criteria.
with your post history (in terms of content) it's slightly naughty to describe me as 'arrogant'

What tosh. Try reading MY post, 'weehead',
You're accusing people of exercising their insecurities, their desires to be different etc - which IS presuming to know why people have made the choices they have, above and beyond people explaining it was over-rated
Which is arrogance, pure and simple

well i've just seen a lot of films included here that are put out there as a sort of statement. the: 'with this choice i want to make it clear that i am different to all those who liked it and am a free and independent thinker whose knowledge of cinema is too great to fall into the traps laid for those who don't know as much as me!' sort of bollocks....
why people do this well.. insecurity is a term lazily used to describe all sorts of behaviour so fair enough, wrong description.
i find it extremely hypochritical that you would call me arrogant, however true that may be. i see a lot of masturbation when i read some of your posts...

oh dear.
Perhaps - just try this on for size - people are naming a film as being the worst because they actually think it IS the worst. it may not be your opinion, or fit your criteria but hey - it's a big world.
I'll ignore the rest because if you're going to insult me, at least take the trouble to spell it correctly

didn't want to insult you as such. just defending myself.
dub for pete's sake people have already said that ok, it's not the worst but perhaps the most overrated. in that case it's the criteria and whoop de do another pointless argument.
but don't feel insulted you arrogant cunt

Although in terms of film taste I probably agree with Reno much more often than you, I think you are right here.
For instance, my nomination of Shakespeare in Love. Awful film which loads of people said was amazing. Much more worthy of being nominated than some piece of shit that nobody has ever seen or remembers. Nomianting "Freddy gets fingered 3" is like kicking a cripple IMO.

precisely. Beastmaster 75 doesn't occur to me to nominate as the worst film ever because nobody thinks it's anything but, it's a non-film (well it doesn't actually exist, but you get my point). Whereas - yes, Shakespeare In Love, or American Beauty are both, IMO, disgusting depressing empty horrible pieces of shit that were adored when released. That DOES bother me.

I see your point and there are some films that deserve it. Then again I was going for the proposterous plots and appalling casts etc..
jugularvein said:
Still entirely subjective - there have been films with both preposterous plots and appalling casts that I have enjoyed greatly. There's no objective set of criteria by which this kind of judgement can be made, which is why your grand pronouncements of the choices others have made are so, well, wanky
