The worse are movies that were meant to be serious and were terrible.
Genghis Khan, starring John Wayne. Putting makeup and clothing of the time period on him and him still act woodenly as "The Duke" is ridiculous. Interestingly, Genghis Khan was a doomed movie because it also was filmed on location in New Mexico downwind of the nuclear testing range and many of the cast members died from variations of cancer likely incurred from their exposure while filming.
Campy movies on the other hand can be often become unintentional cult classics. Supposedly comedic intentions that fall flat or are one joke sketches drawn out occur all to often. The question on these is what preview audience thought they were funny? Or what producer thought to throw that much money at such weak material.
You know what movie I HATED? Valkyrie with Tom Cruise. Cruise was not at ALL believable as Claus von Stauffenberg.
I also didn't care for Fury with Brad Pitt. He was also not believable to me - he looked way too old to be a staff sgt., whose average age in WW2 was 27. I think Brad Pitt was around 50 at the time he was in that role.
You guys don't know what a really bad theatrical movie is until you've watched "The Meanest Men in the West"! I didn't know what I was in for, and I love Westerns, so I PAID to see it, back in the 1980s. Lee Marvin and Chuck Bronson--except they never meet on the screen, because the movie is stitched together from two unrelated Virginian TV series episodes! With a phony introduction that supposedly creates a narrative connection. It is so bad that your brain will want to escape from your head. Not only does it not make a lick of sense, scenes are repeated and flipped to extend the footage. The credits say directed by Sam Fuller, which is true for both episodes and should be a quality marker, but not with the theatrical release butchering. Worth watching and getting a good laugh just because it is the Worst Movie Ever.
I actually watch a similar "movie" on TV not too long ago, from two other Virginian episodes. I can't remember the title, but it was the same kind of fiasco. So in all fairness they are not conceived as "movies" from the start, but they were indeed theatrical releases. Good grief.
Yeah, I remember that stinker. One of the few movies where my date and I actually walked out of the theater. It wasn't just bad. It was painfully bad. It actually hurt to watch it.
