Nearly any film made by William Castle or Roger Corman.
I say this with love, incidentally. Campy horror flicks and wolf are two things that go together like Peanut Butter and Honey.

Excepting MST3K treatments, of which I've seen all of 'em.
"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", by Russ Meyer, screenplay by Roger Ebert "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" by David Lynch "Young Einstein" "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". Mel Brooks proves he's lost it |

Seriously?! I loved that movie. It was silly, sure, but I enjoyed it for what it was. |

Independance day and that thing with Bruce Willis where an asteroid is about to hit the earth both compete for worst movie for me. .....Most of the famously bad movies are really quite enjoyable......with the possible exception of Cannibal Holocaust

Ok, I'll shift Existenz down the ranks a bit. How about My Little Eye. That really did smell of wee.

Ishtar...I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned already.

Goddamn you! You made me remember!!!!
(comment posted for humorous effect only. I never saw the movie, nor do I intend to. I haven't seen Heaven's Gate either, which prior to Ishtar held the title for worst possible movie.)

I have been greedily hoarding my $6.00 DVD copy of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", waiting for just the right circumstances to watch it. Unfortunately, I no longer get stinking drunk nor do I use drugs, so who knows when that will be.

The one movie which had the greatest overall negative effect on my life was Star Wars Episode One. It was like watching George Lucas piss all over something which had brought joy to so many. I haven't watched the original Star Wars trilogy at all since then.
Also awful was Event Horizon, mostly because it could have been good, it had some potential... but it wasn't. At all. Another one is Hercules in New York, one of Arnold Schwartzaneggar's early performances, and dubbed over by an unaccented fellow, to pitiful-yet-humorous effect. And Star Trek 5.... yikes. There are many movies which are clearly about as enjoyable as a cheese grater to the face, which I have not seen: Gigli, Kazaam, Glitter, From Justin to Kelly... ugh. I thank the stars that I have been spared from wasting valuable brain real estate on those abominations. Here are the 100 lowest rated movies on IMDB.com.

Plan 9 From Outer Space was amazingly, mind-blowingly bad. It went straight through campy. It's so bad it's not even funny anymore. I have to buy a copy.
If you're into blaxploitation and/or Quentin Tarentino(sp?) films, Dolemite is a must-see. It's hilariously bad, but I think parts of it were supposed to be, and you can really see where it would've influenced Tarentino a lot (some of the lines are just sickeningly cool). Also on the list, though not as well known, is El Chupacabra. Named after the spanish demon/lizard/bat/thing that apparently sucks the blood of goats (its name translates to "goat-sucker"), this movie is what happens when you give a rapper (whose name I forget and can't be bothered to look up) a movie camera and a $7 budget. Awesomely bad.

Dinosaurus! This movie is a synonym for 'atrocity'.
