Aye, I took this question in regards to movies that were pumped up, big actors and directors with a higher cost to produce. Hands down, the Eng Pat wins this.

Now, if I were to include the really low-budget, D-list movies with almost no cost, then I could think of some that are worse.

I did get a really good power nap somewhere in the middle

Oh, Ralph was good in Schindler's List, thats about it tho.

Yeah, I don't grade the schlock B movies quite as hard, although that doesn't make them any less terrible. The truth is, I don't see many of them anymore, so the really bad big-budget films are the ones that I remember.

Yes, perfect casting for that role.

Way overrated.
But I couldn't put it anywhere near worst of all time, because I've seem probably hundereds of movies.

That story of a guy having to sit through it with a date brought back horror memories for me.

About 10-12 years ago, I went on a 1st date with a girl who got to choose the movie. I wish I could think of the name of it, but it was a huge man-hater movie (maybe Bette Midler was in it?). The whole theater was full of angry women and some were even scowling at me--it was comically wild. Anyway, my date loved the movie and, I'm not making this up, I punted her pretty much right after the movie and never went out with her again.

Maybe others enjoyed it, but I thought "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was extremely boring.

That was probably "First Wives Club", man-hating at its finest.

When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee
