What do you believe to be the worst film of all time? and Why?

Knock Off

This is always an unanswerable question for me because generally movies I've loathed are still well enough made that you couldn't call them the worst of all time, and those that are incompetently but sincerely made and suffer from low budgets usually become enjoyable and charming because of their badness, or can't be fairly assessed by the same standard. Obviously movies made deliberately badly are out.

I think it would have to be something that meets all of these criteria:
• has a generous budget behind it
• yet is abysmally crafted in all respects
• must be deeply, deeply boring
• insulting to the intelligence of the viewer
• either has an extremely dumb premise or extremely high ratio of promising premise to realization letdown
• bonus points if it's inherently trendy and or a cash grab
• bonus points for being unfunny if that's the film's main goal
• and at the same time should be ideologically offensive in some way, which might be the part that makes this most subjective and hard to choose...

I could name an obscur turd but I’ll vote for an Unbelievably bad movie with two decent actors and $4 million in budgeT: Sacrifice 2011

I think the movie I despise the most is rock of ages

The Lobster. Extremely stupid and cruel!

Yeah, REALLY bad but not the worst, IMHO.

Perhaps not. Two additional candidates which are probably worse:

Avatar - a Leftist propaganda piece
The Shape of Water - A stupid, illogical and disgusting piece of cinematic garbage

Spring Breakers - just no.

I'ma have to go with this one. With a budget of only $1,500, it has to be bad.

Though I have yet to see Manos or Birdemic. But they are consistently named as worst films of all time.

How does one gauge something like this? Hearsay?
I don't know about anyone else but I won't sit through a film I find to be the worst...or even bad..

It's probably You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008), because I allegedly watched the whole thing, but can't recall a single moment.

I LOVE that movie!

I was kinda joking, of course it's not "the worst of all time".
But I'm one of the few who like Adam Sandler, and this one still failed to interest me.

I generally can't believe that Both Jack and Jill and That's My Boy, are rated as being so bad!
