I too have only ever walked on a single film in a theater. In my case, it was Transformers 2. There were several factors - it was hot in the theater, there was a smelly dirty diaper baby in there somewhere - but the stinker on the screen was 80% of the reason.
Dammit, Michael Bay.

I feel that this is so bad it requires warning against:
Pirana and its offspring pirana 3DD. The only good thing about these dreadful abominations is the sheer amount of hot naked chicks. And even then this is not in any way a redeeming characteristic.
also this part of AVP 2 Requriem
I mean this was just overkill in the extreme and quite frankly i didnt find it in any way contributing to the film apart from to put some rather excessive violence into the film and in a way its quite perverse. Also the bit where the predalien queen is staring at the babys in the hospital, i mean its a tiny scene and was it really nessecary?
And of course Lesbian Vampire Killers. They had a story line going there but as with Bitch Slap they just scrapped it for lesbian sex, striptease and erotic scenes. Frankly if i wanted porn i would go to porn hub. coinsidentially Both these films are made by the same crappy company.

Starcrash is a 1978 Italian Sci-fi movie with Caroline Munro, Marjoe Gortner and David Hasselhoff.
Italian SF and Hasselhoff should be enough of a warning.
Not quite as good as Battle beyond the stars, though.
I've never walked out of a cinema.
I have fallen asleep during several movies though.
I loathe the lord of the rings movies (and PJ's King Kong as well). I've seen glaciers with better pacing. And story? Puh-leeze, I've read better in the eddas. So tedious I fell asleep. It's not a duration thing, either. I can watch any other 3 hour movie and not fall asleep. Even Alan Smithee's extended cut of David Lynch's Dune didn't put me to sleep but it was pretty bad.
Fave bad movies are:
David Lynch's Dune (soundtrack by TOTO, designs by many of THE epic concept artists.)
Transformers (I wasn't part of the generation that deified the cartoon series in the 80s) - I like them.
Starship Troopers
Judge Dredd (the stallone one, not the new Urban one.)
Equilibrium
Dog Soldiers.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Skyline - I almost walked out of that one, but the nuke dogfight is kinda good in it.
Indiana jones and the crystal skull - GO AWAY LAWS OF PHYSICS.
Avatar Definetly. I used to watch the Anime as a young un and when i saw this.... Just no. Also its a massive sequel baiter with no sequel....... WHY!!!!
Skylines not actually that bad-nooooo please dont hit me!
And there are only 3 Indiana Jones films
Also i have to mention Sexy Killer-my reaction was a mix of "ooh hottie" and then "wtf" then "WTF" and eventually "WTF" before an eventual "oooookkkkkkaaaayyy then.................."

To be fair, its kinda clear that the film is meant to be bad, and not at all meant to be taken seriously. Doesn't necessarily make it watchable, but it does, in my eyes at least, make it more tolerable than something like Twilight or Avatar (either one), which are meant to be "good."
Also, FDR fighting nazi werewolves. I like this concept.
Also "Troll 2", "Manos, the hand of fate" and "Alex l'ariete" are possibly the worst movies ever made...
If you talk about High-budget hollywood productions... well "Battle for Los Angeles" wins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9otTzrO9Bfw Gosh... this is a seriously awful movie... I hated it from the start to the end
Oh man, I forgot about that movie. I tried watching that with a group of friends, and I think we only made it 20 minutes before shuting it off...Flippin' Uwe Boll...
I know that Birdemic and Plan 9 from Outer Space were some pretty terrible movies...but they were super low-budget B(maybe even "C")-movies. When I think of these "worst movies" threads, I try to think of the movies that received proper funding and/or big name actors; you know, the movies that were supposed to be good. Just my two cents worth...

I'm pretty sure old Ed expected Plan 9 to be good, but he just couldn't pull it off.
So, where do you draw the line at "proper funding" ro "big name" actors? Would a film like Bloodrayne qualify? How about Ultraviolet? Transformers 2? Just curious where to draw the line so I can give some more thought son this topic.

I'm talking about actors that can be readily recognized (ie Michael Madsen in "Bloodrayne" or Jason Statham in "In the Name of the King"). And funding wise, movies getting multi-millions with of funding, and decent theatrical release.
Edit - This is just strictly my opinion.

Why has no one mentioned The Happening? It could have been good; big budget, decent cast, competent (if repetative) director.....
It has to be one of the most dull films that I have ever seen and the twist is utterly idiotic. I made the mistake of buying the DVD and to this day it is the only DVD that I have ever thrown away.
At least the dross that the SyFi channel uses to fill up its schedules knows its dross which often elevates it into terrigood territory.

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

There are definitely some worthy contenders so far, my personal nominees are;
Razorblade Smile (live action Manga) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159693/?ref_=sr_6 "A 19th century woman, who has become one of the undead, acts as a hired killer in modern times. When she starts knocking off part of the elite businessmen, "The Illuminati", who secretly are taking over business and the government, she becomes the target of a hired Scotland Yard detective. Of course, the head of "The Illuminati" is the vampire who first gave her immortality"
Avengers - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118661/?ref_=sr_4 "Two British agents (John Steed and Emma Peel) team up to stop Sir August De Wynter from destroying the world with a weather changing machine"
Ice Spiders - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840304/?ref_=sr_1 "When a young ski team training for the Olympics arrives at the remote and isolated Lost Mountain Ski Resort to focus on training, they're thrilled to find a retired Olympic skier is there to help them train. But their plans are halted when a scientist working at a nearby government lab arrives with the horrifying news that a top secret Government project has produced giant spiders and they have escaped, killing and eating everything in sight"
Jennifer's Body - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131734/?ref_=sr_1 "A newly possessed cheerleader turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?"
Or generally anything with Jennifer Aniston

On Nimbosa, cramming as many guardsmen into troop carriers as possible.
Act of valor. The action scenes were ok, but the acting was miserable. One of the two characters with any sort of background was an expecting father, so we all knew he would die. All of the "personal" conversations were extremely awkward and terribly worded.
The three stooges reboot made me want to cry as well.
