4. In celebration of Christmas...
I'd have to add "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" (with Pia Zadora as one of the kids), and the Mexican movie "Santa Claus"...both horrendously, and hilariously bad...

18. I've never heard of it.
But any movie with Santa Claus, Martians, AND Pia Zadora has to be pretty bad.

at the hotel across the street when he should have been warning the others if the police were coming
Baldwin I think his name was

7. Mine:
"The Horror of Party Beach"

"Eegah!" (laughably idiotic)

"Village of the Giants" (this is one from 1965, directed by Bert I. Gordon, who also directed "The Amazing Colossal Man". "Village" is just ridiculously silly. Co-stars Tommy Kirk, Beau Bridges(!), Johnny Crawford, Toni Basil (of "Mickey!" fame) and Ronny Howard, on hiatus from "The Andy Griffith Show")

8. Night of the Lepus
Giant rabbits invade a small town. The solve the problem by electrifying the railroad tracks and electrocute the huge bunnies -- it is a must see!

9. Glen or Glenda
Also, how about the scene in the beginning of Zardoz when the scary stone head announces, "The gun is good. The penis is evil." Taken in the context of the rest of the film, and how seriously it tends to take itself, that's at least worth an honorable mention.

14. I saw Zardoz when it was released
I should say escaped. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I think I was straight when I saw it but I'm not really sure. No, I was stoned. Never mind.

19. I completely agree.
I've never gotten the attraction of this film. Sure, it's fun to shout out stuff and throw shit at the screen, but why this movie? You could do that during a Power Point presentation.

28. Ray Milland plays a racist something or other and gets
his head translplanted onto Rosey's shoulder. The motorcycle chase will make you piss your pants. I keep waiting for outtakes showing the head falling off.

17. House of the Dead
It was based on a Sega video game. When I went with some friends to see it one night, the guy at the ticket counter asked us if we were sure we wanted to see it, and suggested we see something else instead. He had gotten tired of people trying to get their money back after seeing the film.

21. Dude- "Showgirls"
That movie is so gleeful about it's own crappiness. It wants to reach out from the screen and punch you in the face. So, so good/bad.

26. The original "The Fly" is hilarious--especially the part
where he doesn't want to alarm his wife and his fly-head is like 5 times it's normal size, so he puts a towel over it and sits around like nothing's wrong! At that moment, by hubs did one of his best heckle lines; (speaking as fly-man) "Oh Honey, while you're up , could you get me another cat-poop?"

29. The Lonely Lady w/ Pia Zadora
By far the worst thing I have ever seen.
I would add House of Sand and Fog and Chicago to my most hated list also

32. 3 Contenders
1. Dracula's Dog - yes, someone really did make a movie with this name! I think the producer lost an election bet.

2. Billy the Kid Meets Dracula - One of John Carradine's last.

3. The Creeping Unknown - Still another tacky, black & white thriller from the Fabulous Fifties. It featured a "monster from outer space" that looked like it was made up from carpet remnants. Actors had to back up to its "mouth" and throw themselves in.

All of these gems were in the movie library of the cable company I worked at in the 80's. I was really glad to leave!
