I quite liked Judge Dredd - it was and wasn't a movie based on my favourite square-jawed fascist beatstick, but it was a cool ride (except for Rob Schneider).
1. Fellowship of the rings.
2. The two towers
3. Return of the King
4. Transformers (1986).
5. Fist of the North Star (animated)
6. The Matrix:Reloaded
7. The Matrix:Revolutions
8. Battlefield Earth
9. Super Mario Brothers.
10. Kill Bill (both parts)
11. Reservoir dogs
12. Pulp Fiction.

Hey chromedog, what's with all the classics on your list? Let me guess, you also hated Inglourius Basterds, Avatar, the old Terminator movies, the original Star Wars Trilogy, and 300?

Didn't bother seeing Inglorious Basterds. The combo of QT and BP just left me numb inside. His previous movies were bad enough. Also 300. Can't hate what I haven't seen.
Avatar I quite liked, but I've been hanging out for it for the last 15 or so years. The first two terminator movies were quite good also (haven't seen Salvation and wish I hadn't seen T3 but it doesn't rank high enough on bad movies to score a top 10). The original Star Wars trilogy is pretty naff, actually. The Empire Strikes Back is the good one - and I liked it enough to score a 12" laserdisc copy (with a HD screen, it comes through crystal clear).
@EF: Actually, I quite like kittens. Undecided on candy.
It's dogs I'll happily run down in my car - then back over them to finish them off.
@Snikkyd: Those two matrix movies, with the exception of the scenes involving the APUs, were turgid piles of crap.
All of LOTR, yes seriously. The books bored me silly in high school. The movies put me to sleep. All of them. I slept through Pellenor fields and the last two thirds of ROTK.
Fantasy mostly does this to me though. Can't stand the pap. I'd rather read the Snorri Eddas again.

C'mon, Ye Olde Transformers? Optimus dies, man! He dies!
Matrix the first one was decent enough sure, and I didn't think the follwing ones were so bad. Mediocre yes, but not really deserving a place on The List. Nor did I reckon that the LotR deserves a spot there. I think you're just putting them on The List becuase they were so popular with the masses.

No, I put them there because I really didn't like them.
I really don't like the lord of the rings. It is bad fantasy (there is no good fantasy in my paradigm - just bad fantasy and worse fantasy. Twilight is worse fantasy.), tedious and soporific. IMO. YMMV. LOTR works better than NyQuil for me.
I'll happily watch the matrix trilogy again, but the 2nd and 3rd ones were not good movies. Many of the other movies people have listed I have not seen - and I don't want to, but I can't 'hate' them until I have experienced them.
Yeah, 1986 Transformers movie. Optimus dies. So what? He was a frigging transforming cab-over semi-trailler/robot thing from a line of characters meant to sell toys to kids. The movie was cheesy as hell - and I liked that kind of metal back then. I never watched the original cartoon series and never formed the attachment.
I didn't cry when my cat died. I didn't cry when my grandparents died. I didn't cry when my dad died (in front of me). I'm sure as feck not gonna cry over a cartoon.

One day i think it will all come out.
I cried when the terminator sank in the lava pit thing in terminator 2. sometimes it comes out in the most slowed places if you hold it in.
=Laserblast (the MST3K of this film make me want to commit homocide...)
=Lake Placid (and any sequals thereof...)
=Speed Racer
=Anything from Michael Bay (special effects and sweet, mindless hollywood brainsex do not a movie make.)
=Laserblast (yes, it's really THAT bad...)
=Plan 9 From outer space (it's a cult classic, but if it weren't for Laserblast, it would be to movies what ET is to videogames)
=Laserblast (no, seriously....)
=Any Saw film past, say, the second one...
=Dungeons and dragons
=Laserblast (my hatred for this film knows no bounds... I could almost justify the torture and brutal disemboweling of the extended families of everyone involved in making this film...)
=Pluto Nash, because that movie belongs on everyone's list.

4. Transformers (1986).
In the immortal words of Galvatron, "This is bad comedy."
Romeo Must Die with Jet Li. Went with a friend, and at the end of the movie, we looked at each other and both said, "if I went to this by myself, I'd have left after about 20 minutes."
Went with the wife and tween niece and nephew to see Marky Mark and the Planet of the Apes and Jurassic Park III on the same weekend. I feel asleep in both films.
Meet the Parents. I just found it too predictable to be funny. And I really can't stand Ben Stiller unless he plays a total tool like in Dodgeball. And I can't stand DeNiro in any of these comedies and tear-jerkers that he does. He's Robert freakin' DeNiro, play a tough cop or a criminal!
On the Coen brothers. I liked Fargo. No Country For Old Men was a painful viewing.
AvP. It had so many contradictions to established fluff it wasn't funny. Predators are drawn to heat, but come to a pyramid in Antarctica. Good thing those humans were there for victims! Chestbursters take like, what, 15 minutes to emerge? Sigh.

Yeah, the second and third Matrix movies weren't nearly as good as the original, but they weren't horrible abominations of mankind like most of these movies. LOTR is the one that really confuses me though. Seriously? Who doesn't like it, I'm not a huge fan of fantasy myself but Its still one of my favorite series. Oh well.

Psst. Tarantino's a hack. He takes themes from classics and then turns them into swear filled adrenaline junkie flicks.

And for the record?
Inglorious Bastards sucked.
I dunno if I'd go that far... he makes movies that are fluff, and he's never claimed to do anything but that. All that being said, without tarantino, Hero would never had been released in theatres stateside, and that would have been a shame.

It was the most arrogant, pretentious and snotty piece of gak with the most unlikeable characters in it. I missed watching a gakky early (pre7of9) episode of voyager for it and have regretted it ever since.
That's how gak that film is.
It's even got Cate Blanchett in it and I love her, but it still stank.
Oh god that movie was terrible. This is proving that crap gets erased from the brain. I actually sat through the whole thing trying to understand it all. Never happened. It was just too bad
And Id like to add COLD MOUNTAIN to the list. Im sorry, it doesnt matter HOW MANY awards a movie gets, that doesnt mean its a good one. That movie sucked sooooo friggin bad.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Laserblast was an amazingly awful sci-fi b movie...
MST3K, or Mystery Science Theatre 3000, was a show that's whole premise was a guy and 2 of his robot pals cracking jokes through really bad sci-fi films, ranging from old Mothra and Jet Jaguar flicks, to bad 50's and 60's era sci-fi, to cheesy 80's scifi/horror films. It was truly epic. Go to your local library and get it on DVD.

I would have thought more movies so-horrible-they're-good would have been listed. I used to work in a video store, so I've seen movies you would never actually pay to see and they would NEVER show on TV. The best/worst movie I ever saw that wasn't a porn is hands down....
FRANKENHOOKER.
Please tell me someone else here has seen it.
The only movie I ever walked out of was First Wives Club.
The only movie I ever got drug out of was Irreversible. (My friend wouldn't watch anymore) It is by far the most graphic movie I've ever seen. I've got a copy of it just so I can dare friends to watch it. To date, no one has taken me up on it.
