The worst sin a movie can commit is be boring. If it's a bore, there's no saving it. But that doesn't necessarily mean that those films are the "worst" I've seen, usually because of some other merit I can give it.
Now, if any of you have ever seen 2002's Ben and Arthur, directed by wannabe Renaissance man Sam Mraovich, then I salute you for somehow still being alive and surviving that trainwreck.
I hope I can get the memory of that movie out of my brain at some point (though yeah... wriiting about it isn't helping).
People shared their thoughts about some of the dumpster fires they've had the misfortune to watch after Redditor [deleted] asked the online community,
"What is the worst movie you've seen?"
365 Days (2020)
"365 Days. This movie was made for the sake of some sex scenes, nothing more."
AnIgnorablePerson
That is pretty much what I've heard about it and when a couple of people I know ranted about it, I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Highlander II (1991)
"I'm going to go with Highlander II. The original never needed a sequel, and incredibly, they kept making more even after that. Hadn't we suffered enough?"
ekchew
No, no... clearly we hadn't.
Unfortunately for us.
Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (1996)
"Did you know there was a sequel to Lawnmower Man? Well, now you know.
For the record, I didn't pay for it per se: my friend bought the first Lawnmower Man on DVD, and the sequel was included as a bonus because absolutely no sane person would buy it otherwise."

Oh dear... I wanted to forget that that movie existed. Now I've been traumatized all over again.
Incubus (1966)
"Without a doubt, Incubus.
William Shatner, in the only movie ever filmed in Esperanto.
As good as you'd expect based on those two facts alone."
SwampWolf42
You never thought you'd hear William Shatner (of all people) speak Esperanto, did you?
Well... Here you go.
Artemis Fowl (2020)
"The Artemis Fowl movie was AWFUL. I loved the books as a kid and had such high hopes. The plot was changed SO much it's barely the same story."
ButterfliesInSpace
They changed the story so much that it's a wonder it was even made in the first place.
Tack a different name on it if you're going to torture people like that!
Disaster Movie (2008)
"Disaster Movie, 2008. Had a rare opportunity to visit with my dad and that was the movie we decided on. Should've gone to the park. We love most of the parody movies, but there wasn't a funny bit in it. Genuine waste of time/money."
AdamR91
It stuns me that anyone would want to sit through any of the parody movies that came out after Not Another Teen Movie and maybe Scary Movie 3 (which is iffy enough to begin with).
Son of the Mask (2005)
Son of The Mask.
I saw it at the movies at age 12 with my mom and cousin. There was a man sitting in front of us just loudly guffawing the whole time. At the end, he turned around towards us and told us it was the best movie he had ever seen."
dusterbusterv1
Forgot this existed until now. I did not see it but the trailer was bad enough! 2005 called and wants its terrible memory back.
50 Shades of Grey (2016)
"50 Shades of Grey.
I thought it would be so bad that it's funny. It was kind of funny for the first 10-15 minutes, but then it was just reallyyy boring and poorly made. Not outrageous enough to be entertaining, but bad enough to be frustrating."
friend_doe
This movie is single-handedly responsible for so much misinformation about BDSM.
So much.
Splice (2009)
"Splice.
Took my girlfriend at the time to see it with me because we were both biology nerds. We had recently watched The Pianist with Adrian Brody (a great movie in my opinion) so we were pretty excited to learn that he starred in Splice.
That movie just got more and more awkward as we sat in the theater watching it. A group of high school kids started making funny commentary out loud in front of us, which honestly was the most entertaining part of that experience."
ScienceDanimal85
I actually enjoyed it––it just dips in quality because it goes from serious to schlocky.
Movie 43 (2013)
"Movie 43. It is almost fascinatingly bad. It famously only got made because one dude pooled together decades of favors to get it done, and he basically blackmailed a couple of the actors (I believe Hugh Jackman was one of them) into working on it."
OrphicDionysus
I still do not understand how this was even made.
Well, there you have it. You're not seeing any of these anytime soon, are you? Or maybe you'll surprise us with your um... eclectic taste.
