Solaris with George Clooney, I went with 2 girls all 3 of us wanted to leave and none of us spoke up even though we watched others leave. A close second is Porkys 2.

Hmm its a tie between Blair Witch Project and Epic Movie. I'll go with the latter on this one, seeing as I paid to see it for whatever reason.

I never even cracked a smile for this one. I'd rather punch my balls with knives than see it again.

 
Austin Powers in Goldmember
Deep Blue Sea
Euro Trip (not entirely bad, but the tits were all that really saved it)
Hollow Man
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Kung Pow: Enter The Fist <----- This is absolutely the worst movie I've seen in my entire life, by far
Scary Movie
Solaris (George Cloony remake)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
The Thin Red Line

And one that I didn't sit through - I walked out after less than an hour:
The Protector - The Tony Jaa movie about a guy who breaks people's arms to save his pet elephant. The fight scenes at the beginning of the movie were actually quite bad, and everything else was so terrible I couldn't even bear to watch. It was so poorly edited that most of it had severe continuity problems, especially during chase scenes. Apparently the last 30-45 minutes were full of awesome fight scenes, but I missed them.
 
From recent memory:
Serenity (but I like he tv series)
1984 (but I like the book. On a related note I like George Orwell's Animal Farm in movie format better than the book)

What a piece of shit, it would have been the same thing if they filmed Seinfeld and his comedian buddies jacking off to images of themselves in the mirror. But I didn't sit through it, I could only tolerate about 15 mins

All three Star Wars prequels.

You must be a glutton for punishment if you watched all 3 after hating the first one. Personally I liked the prequels and thought they definitely got better with each successor.

Deep Blue Sea was a bad movie, but enjoyable. Ditto for Scary Movie. Temple of Doom is a good movie, it just pales in comparison to Raiders and Last Crusade (by a long damn shot).

But the real reason I quote your post is for The Protector, for which you earn a coveted "Epic Fail" award. This movie, simply put, kicks ass. Let me preface this by saying that anyone who watches a martial arts movie for the plot is a retard. That said, Protector has some awesome fight scenes; the capoeira master, Nathan Jones, the goofy ass fight with the roller bladers and ATVer where Tony Jaa backflips off a piece of glass as an ATV breaks the fuck through it... And that's not mentioning the scene where Jaa breaks into the club and fights off wave after wave of bad guys in a single, unedited, cut, which runs for like 8 minutes straight. If you entered this movie expecting Shakespeare, yeah, you're going to be disappointed, but come on, this movie has some of the best fight scenes in history. Jesus God man...

As for the original intent of this post, the worst movie I ever sat through was National Lampoon's Gold Diggers. I was reviewing it for the college paper, so the tickets were free. The review was one of the most fun things I've ever written that was published without the courts getting involved.
 
Epic Movie
Kung Pao: enter the fist (as the other mentioned and reminded me of this travesty)
13 days (I don't watch a lot of movies in theatre, and this is the first and only one I have ever walked out)

I went to go see some Tom Clancy movie, but they accidentally played the Powerpuff Girls movie instead. They played it for about 30 minutes before they realized the mistake, but the audience was so into it (making jokes, etc) that the entire audience screamed for them to keep it on. We got free movie vouchers too 😀

I find it a matter of taste. I like the style and it fits the movie quite well.

Not my fondest memory. 😛

wtf, that's the saddest sloppy seconds I've ever heard of.
 
There were a few so bad I didn't make it past 15 minutes.
I think the wors that I recently sat through was Cloverfield. Blair Witch Project was a piece of shit as well.
Anything worse, and I probably would not make it past 30 minutes.
 
I love waterworld. Great film. Fuck you.


The worst I sat through was Strange Wilderness. I had wanted to see There will be Blood, but the theatre had the times wrong and it wasn't showing again that night. A buddy of mine really wanted to see Strange and we all got drug along. I was never more angry at a movie.
 
This!

not to mention we ended up walking out, due to mainly a black dude sitting with his signifcant other (wife or gf, dunno) sitting next to us talking about stupid crackas jumping off a building and how a brother wouldn't jump
 
Just rented Street Kings, it was pretty bad. Turned it off after 15 minutes and started to watch TV, then went back to it later, hoping it would get better. It didn't.

How far have Keanu Reeves, Forrest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, and Cedric the Entertainer fallen?
 
Dude, Where's My Car?

I'm embarrassed to say that I not only saw that in the theater, but I sat through the whole thing.

Mind-blowingly stupid. The movie and the me, for watching.

Now that's funny. I didn't realize he was up high enough to where he could fall.

You should actually be entertaining in order to have the moniker 'The Entertainer'.
