I know this is subjective. Mine would be Blow-Up (1966) - they call this a thriller but it is a boring piece of nonsense. Nothing happens in this movie.

Savages (2012).
The ending was bad enough to ruin an ok film. Stone can get it done as a writer; as a director
is a different story.
Aw bummer it didn't do it for you, how, I personally super love Blow-Up!
I can give you three truly bad movies I saw just today:
Ring of Darkness (2004) - Evil undead boyband tv horror movie directed by the prolifically moronic David DeCoteau. Absolutely ridiculous and terrible, yet amusing and horny. Thanks to Stratego for finding this one.
Time Walker (1982) - "An alien, buried in King Tut's tomb, terrorizes a college campus." I love the premise and some of the imagery, but it's objectively no masterpiece and largely boring. The preposterous details fly by gobs per minute. The worst movie Tom Servo claims he has ever seen.
The Laughing Dead (1990) - "Zombies, demons, and a mad doctor await a bus-load of folks looking for a tour of Aztec ruins." Super not good and bad, but some crazy practical effects and gore, and I enjoyed the score. Realized halfway through I'd seen this before. Ultimately a flick I come out of feeling dirty and bad above all else, Demon Wind style.
Still, no regrets! Bad movies are bae.
WELL?....WHICH WAS "THE BEST OF THE WORST"?
shareLOL dude that is REALLY a tough one! These are all serious dumpster bottom sludge... Toss up between Time Walker and Laughing Dead... LD for music and atmosfear. There's almost a Dead Alive vibe there that's homey for me. But I think I'd be most likely to recommend Time Walker. It's iconic in a way, love the premise, so many amusingly dumb details and funny acting, and the ending is so legendarily stupid that I'd almost call it a must see.
shareFor quintessential David Decoteau, you have got to check out Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper (2014).
shareAmerica's favorite woolen mystery man may remain ever elusive to the field of modern science, but if "big" entertainment is what you seek, you need not hunt in vain when you bring home the adventure, thrills, laughs, magic, mystery, excitement, romance, fun, and heaving male bosomry of Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper! A real McCoy five bagger for my two cents, and don't spend it all in one place!
I'd really like to give this an enthusiastic response bursting with recognition and joy but we're running low on time right now and have to move onto another segment right now that--
*looks at notes, stutters and squints several times*
--features movies with strong patriotic messages, and I hope to high heaven that this country gets united soon
holy cow, i love blow up. it's such a perfect time capsule of that era. but it's a big world, and everybody's entitled to their preferences.
i watched a 70s b movie called 'beyond atlantis' last week, mostly because the story (though not the script, if i remember properly) was by trash master stephanie rothman (velvet vampire is a film i can't quite get enough of). unfortunately it was a complete snooze, though the girls were very very very cute.
Strawberry Estates (2001) - was a play next on Tubi and I let it play. Was really horrible.
"A small expedition explores a haunted insane asylum!"
I watched it around Christmas, but Santa Jaws (2018).
"Trying to survive the family Christmas, Cody makes a wish to be alone, which ends up backfiring when a shark manifests and kills his entire family."
In the tall grass
Tall girl
Funny how they both have the word tall in them.
The 15:17 to Paris (2018). I was doubly disappointed when I discovered it was directed by Eastwood.
shareEASTWOOD FUCKED UP WHEN HE CHOSE TO CAST THE REAL PEOPLE...NOT A ONE OF THEM COULD ACT THEIR WAY INTO THE PORNO BUSINESS.
shareThat strategy seemed to work with Sully (2016) when he cast the actual tug boat captain and first responders to the incident.
shareWITH TOM HANKS AND VETERANS TO HOLD DOWN THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTING...15:17 IS JUST REAL LIFE DUDES ACTING BADLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
shareI agree. I think it worked in that case because they were essentially very effective extras.
15:17 is flawed beyond the casting choice, imo. One thing that really annoyed me was the overemphasis on Spencer's foreshadowing, sense of destiny, just prior to the pivotal train sequence. It would have been much more effective if it had been left as an isolated, subtle comment earlier in the movie. Instead, it came across as lame, gimmicky, even condescending to the audience at that point. Clint should have known better, given his vast experience in the industry.
that was stupid not to use real actors.
sharea rare mistake by Clint.
share"They" did not write a very good description if they called Blow Up a thriller.
shareI haven't watched one recently, but I'm thinking about watching this one:
https://youtu.be/JjfUI7P5FRI
I actually watched this yesterday. The songs are still stuck in my head!
shareSo should I watch it??? Is it bad in a good way?
shareIt is an unbelievable spectacle for sure. I wouldn't put it up next to such exemplars as the works of Neil Breen, The Room, Troll 2... maybe Birdemic... it's more brain hurty than that, but I watched it while doing some computer work, and that level of investment I don't regret.
