I think people underestimate some of the true worst movies. While I agree that GIJOE wasn't good, it was far from the worst. Killer Tomatoes is a classic and although bad is so bad it is good, etc.

Movies that are bad:
1. Sci-fi Channel Originals
2. Starcrash
3. Anything made by The Asylum
4. Transformers 2
Syfy are generally really bad. Not sure what Starcrash or Asylum are, so they may be contenders.. Transformers 2 is bad but not worst level.

Oh, all the movies that are 'clever' retitling of big movies? They may be a contender.

So some bad movies I love:
4. Speed Racer
I really don't understand why Speed Racer is "bad"
I've asked around and people seem to all like it alright, but they all think everyone else hates it.
Are we all just conforming so hard that we think we're the only ones? That movie was a blast. It was gorgeous and the story structure was impeccable. It had perfect greek narrative patterns. The finale shows each character's growth one by one in reverse order of their being shown at the beginning. The climax resolves man vs self, man vs man and man vs machine in the course of like 10 seconds and it's just cathartic as all hell.
I really don't get what's bad about it at all. Maybe people are stuck thinking about it like a kid's movie. Just get that idea out of your head and watch it as a human being instead.

There's another good contender.

Isn't One Hour Photo that movie with Robin Williams as a psychopath? That wasn't a bad movie. I hate Robin Williams - something about him I just can't stand - but I thought there were 3 movies he utterly killed it in, and that was one of them (with the other two being Death to Smoochy and Good Will Hunting).

That's one of my mothers favorite movies, and she has epically bad taste.

Oh come on! Starship Troopers should have been named something else but is still an amusing and fun movie.
It's true that my high opinion of the book that it is appallingly badly based on probably biased me against it from the start, but it is really bad even without that.

But Worst film? Unlikely.

Did you see Insomnia (US version) by any chance? He was pretty good in that as well. Playing a creepy guy trying to act normal is a good fit for him.

Huh. You know, I did see that film, but I don't even remember him being in it. I do remember Al Pacino, and thinking it was OK but not great. I can't remember a single other person who was in it, actually, or the plot at all - Antarctic something maybe.

When it comes to godawful movies, you can't go without that piece of utter drek Battlefield: Earth with Travolta and Whitaker. God, that was just vile.
There was also the Dungeons and Dragons movie. Bad, terrible, awful, and insulting. AND A WAYANS BROTHER! AUGH!
Highlander 2, 3, and 4 were crimes against modern cinema.
Oh come on! Starship Troopers should have been named something else but is still an amusing and fun movie.

The Heinlein fanatic in me is ashamed to admit that I file that particularly movie in the guilty pleasure bin. The truly bad ones are the sequels. My dad rented the first sequel, and I decided to be objective and give it a shot...for all of 20 seconds before I couldn't take it any more. But it's not Last Airbender bad, because it didn't have a $150 mil budget.
I thought Napoleon Dynamite was pretty awful and it wasn't even fun.
I'll offer up all of Uwe Boll's film adaptations of video games, though I enjoy them for some bizarre reason (going so far as to own House of the Dead on DVD). I mean, don't get me wrong, they're abysmal but I love watching them.
