Bubba Ho-Tep. You've likely never heard of it but if you saw it -- my condolences.
BUBBA HO-TEP would have been a great half-hour movie. Unfortunately, it comes in at over 90 minutes. There just wasn't enough story there to warrant its running time.
It should have been an episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT or CREEPSHOW. But a movie? Nope.
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE is incredibly stupid but actually a lot of fun. It certainly isn't a good movie. But it is a great bad movie.
Worst movies I have ever seen in the theater?
HIGHLANDER 2. My date and I lasted about 20 minutes before we walked out.
RED HEAT. I don't know how an Ahnuld movie could be boring, but this one was. I actually fell asleep.
NOMADS. Supposedly a horror flick, starring Pierce Brosnan. It has a great movie poster. But the movie itself is a snoozefest. Another one where I actually fell asleep.
I'm with you on Maximum Overdrive. It's bad, but.. Funny bad. I mean, when King started talking about all the cocaine he did on set.. That was a light bulb moment. That explained it all.

Interesting thought on Bubba Ho-tep. I actually own that on DVD.. Something of a guilty pleasure. But.. You're likely right about the running time. But.. I can't get tired of watching Bruce Campbell.
One I'll throw out there as 'so bad they're good'.. Baseketball and An American Carol. Both David Zucker films. An American Carol is.. It stars Kevin Farley.. Chris Farley's brother. And.. They look CLOSE ENOUGH that.. I can actually watch this and fool myself into thinking that it's Chris Farley i'm watching.. In a movie 10 years after his death. And.. It makes it good. Well.. Better, at least.
One that's unforgivable, however.. Dana Carvey's "Master of Disguise".. Apparently, they asked the crew for someone who wanted to direct the movie and the whole crew said "no". I think this one, as well, has hit something of a cult status and there are people who think it's so bad it's good.. But.. I disagree. It's just BAD.
I will say, and there's nothing about this being the worst movie ever or anything.. But it's a strange one that I personally hated. Others like it, and.. Fine for them. My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis. Two of the greatest actors of the 80's. I like/love probably everything else they've been in.. But this.. Just didn't work. Only movie I've ever just gotten up and left the theater while watching it.
OK I watched some movie made in the 1950s that was a movie about WW2 but it was full of 1950s slang. It was awful. I have erased the movie's name from my mind.

I actually love MASTER OF DISGUISE. And I mean genuine love. Not even a guilty pleasure. I don't feel the least bit guilty about it. It is dumb, goofy, and every kind of silly and I love every second of it.
I just remembered the name of the stupidest movie ever - Heroes Die Young. It was actually made in 1960, not in the 1950s, which somehow makes it even worse.
I don't know if I'd say it's the absolute worst movie I've ever seen, but it is definitely the worst one I've seen in the last couple years. Time I will never ever get back.
