I agree that Mystery Science Theater is great fun. They have a field day with the worst movies made and turn them into hysterically funny shows. I have one of the Laser Disks with "This Island Earth". Used to watch it regularly when it was on cable but don't know if it still broadcast on a regular basis anymore.

With out a doubt, Mystery Science Theater, is one of the best shows on cable.

Someone please go demolish any Hollywood pull belonging to the guy who decided video games could make good movies.

I'm thinking of Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat 2 (the first had one or two good fights and expensive enough FX to redeem it in a way).

It remains to be seen if Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy will continue the trend. I don't hold out much hope, but at least the FF movie will make for sweet eye candy...

Mystery Science Theater
My friends and I used to gather on Friday nights (in the 60s) and do our own MST. A local TV station had 50's bad scifi on at about 11pm every week. What fun to make fun of bad film. I still have a 1959 print of Angry Red Planet that I run on occasions like new years parties. Everyone gets to poke fun and make comments. It's one of the few times when talking during the movie is encouraged. I wish they had not cancelled production on MST

At least Godzilla 2000 was ment to look cheezie. Not like the 1998 version that should have looked good instead of bad. What would have made the 98 version better would have been if they took the lips out of sync with the soundtrack. Then it would have fit in with all the other Godzilla films.

Godzilla 2000 was actually a TOHO picture, if I remember correct, wasn't it? (Meaning that the original company that made it, TOHO, made it to look cheesy on purpose.)

Godzilla 2000 was a Toho production. They did not actively TRY to make it look cheesy - instead they tried to make it look like, well, a Godzilla movie, which is a genre of cheeziness all its own. The reason the Godzilla franchise maintains its reputation for corny sci-fi is how seriously the creators of the film took the moderately ridiculous subject. Just listen to the commentary track on the US DVD and pay attention to the writer of the English language script expounding about the character dynamics and philosophical dilemmas underlying Godzilla 2000's story.

What astonishes most people about Godzilla 2000 was how much it cost: $11,000,000. The localization for US markets was $5,000,000. Any bozo could dress up in a monster suit and make a bad movie - Toho, however, elevates it to high art.

By far the worst movie I have ever seen and I even fell asleep during it because it was so stupid was "Jigsaw Man" which seemed to me to be a ripoff of a James Bond film...My friends that I saw it with tell me that I snored thru the middle hour of it. I haven't seen too many others in the theater that I thought were real turkeys. I've seen plenty of video turkeys, though. Enough of that..

Worst movie ever made

TITANIC

Just the theme tune makes me sick.

By the end of the marathon film you want
the hole cast to go down with the ship.

Who can forget the part when Our Hero's are
running up the corridor with the water chasing them. The special effects guys cut the top of Kate's head off. GOOD SHOW I SAY :d

It would have been much better if they had a
mad axe man chopping bits off Leonardo.

I would pay to see that over & over

I can't be the only one who hates this Film.

I think most die hard Star Wars fans hate Titanic as well. But this is only because it knocked their precious film out of the number one spot of all time, even despite the repeat releases Star Wars had. I doubt any of them have actually seen Titanic, but you're not alone Jonathan. But I'm a major Cameron fan, so...

With all of these experts here, how could you folks possibly have missed:

"Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death"

"Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama"

One of us doesn't like "Cemetery Man," it's probably a matter of taste, but this HAS to be one of the strangest movies of all time, bar none.

I have most of the movies mentioned in this thread in my library and, for the sake of completeness, must instigate a search for the remainder. Of recent offerings, I liked Final Destination, esp. Reel 1.

Little Nicky. Such a piece of that I walked out during the end credits -- and I usually stay all the way through!

Honorable Mention -- U-Turn. It's like Pulp Fiction mixed with a bunch of Natural Born Killers outtakes Oliver Stone should want to have this disgrace off his resume!
