  1. Northfork
    It has that vintage Polish pace, their signature arch pomposity and rhythmless weirdness, only this time the brothers had to go and make a cosmic allegory of American dreams.

    The Omega Code
    Even Christians hip to TBN preachers' peculiar eschatology may be baffled by the incoherent wrap-up, which provides the stingiest Second Coming since the third ''Omen ''movie.
  3. Simon Sez
    The movie, a shoddy mess, is a bargain-basement rip-off of ''Ronin."
  4. Extreme Ops
    Less a movie than a 93-minute Mountain Dew commercial.
  5. Dummy
    Serves up the sort of shrill ''satire'' of middle-class Jewish vulgarity in which the mere mention of words like ''brisket'' and ''klezmer'' is automatically presumed to be hilarious.

    Phantoms
    It's nearly unwatchable, a farrago of confusing direction, stupid plot coincidences, and banal dialogue.
  7. Stigmata
    A crude, silly supernatural thriller.
  8. Jason X
    It will come as no surprise that the movie isn't scary. But here's the real damn: It isn't funny, either.
  9. The Waterboy
    Becomes yet another lame sports farce.
  10. Never Again
    Schaeffer's howler of a romantic comedy, which presents itself as a valentine to Clayburgh even as it keeps dreaming up fresh ways to humiliate her.
  11. American Wedding
    The third helping of ''American Pie'' offers little more than crumbs. Half the franchise's core cast (including Mena Suvari, Chris Klein, and Tara Reid) chose to skip the big fat geek wedding.
  12. The Punisher
    The Punisher is a moronically inept and tedious piece of death-wish trash.
  13. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Maybe the worst thing that can happen is that every other movie at the multiplex will be sold out this weekend.
  14. Eulogy
    The cast itself is weirdly overqualified.
  15. The Master of Disguise
    An awful, stillborn comedy assembled out of rusty spare parts from secret agent movies and run-of-the-mill ''Saturday Night Live'' skits.
  16. Imaginary Heroes
    Nothing in Imaginary Heroes rings true, least of all a plot that lightly combines domestic abuse, adulterous pregnancy, teen bisexuality, job abandonment, and a possible case of Mysterious Movie Disease. These are not ordinary people. Or real ones.
  17. Dude, Where's My Car?
    The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is ''Weird Science."

  18. Welcome to Mooseport
    To a character, every man in this faux-homey burg has been castrated! They're all impotent buffoons!

    Resident Evil: Apocalypse
    In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the undead are back to stumbling in the dark, sometimes even in blurry slo-mo, making the many packs of them about as terrifying as the mobs waiting for Matt and Katie outside the "Today" studio.
  20. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
    Fragmented and monotonous, without a semblance of the gymnastic cleverness that at least made the first Mortal Kombat film into watchable trash, Mortal Kombat Annihilation is as debased as movies come.
  21. Congo
    All I know is that something has gone terribly, drum-beatingly wrong in Congo (Paramount, PG-13), and you can sense Jungle Trouble brewing from the git-go.
  22. Hush
    When you watch this failed horror thriller -- which has been under studio doctors' care for some two years, undergoing futile title changes and reshoots -- there's no respite from the odor of flop sweat stinking up the screen.
  23. Mixed Nuts
    Confined to just a few sets, the movie is like the pilot for a sitcom you never want to see. Yet Ephron seems to think she's making a feel-good holiday classic: She floods the soundtrack with old pop versions of Christmas standards, trying to render stale comedy appetizing by drenching it in syrup. [23 Dec 1994, p.50]
    • Entertainment Weekly
  24. Beastly
    Spectacularly poor judgment in everything from acting to costuming (Olsen's Harajuku-troll get-up is scarier than her curse) puts Beastly right on the cusp of the so-bad-it's-good Hall of Shame.
  25. Clockstoppers
    Stops time, all right -- it stretches 94 minutes into something that begins to feel like infinity.
    • 32 Metascore

    The Ex
    A painful comedy that reduces the "Garden State" star to pratfalls while many comic A-teamers around him (including Paul Rudd and Amy Adams) play idiots.
  27. Crazy on the Outside
    Each actor appears to have received the script to a different movie, while Allen adds his own directorial touch of sexual vulgarity.
  28. Stolen
    It's a toss-up as to what's the worse sin in this graceless piece of tragedy porn.
  29. Life as We Know It
    There's something about Holly: She's the most ridiculous, irritating, two-dimensional rom-com heroine since...Katherine Heigl's last rom-com.
  30. My Soul to Take
    Wes Craven's first new movie in five years is a brainless, joyless, and yes, you might even say, soulless teen slasher.
  31. I Am Number Four
    Witless, insultingly derivative, muddy-looking, and edited in the hammering epileptic style that marks so many films produced, as this one is, by Michael Bay.
  32. The Apparition
    With more telegraphed scares than Samuel Morse on Halloween, it still might give you a restless night, but only because you fell asleep in the theater.
  33. What's Your Number?
    Under the direction of Entourage's Mark Mylod, the movie not only makes cheap sex jokes but looks skanky, too. Lighting, camerawork, and editing are all a slapdash mess, one that further hinders the actors trying their best to get through this failed hookup of a comedy.
  34. A Thousand Words
    In theory, A Thousand Words should draw on its star's abilities as a physical comedian, but Murphy, miming his order for a triple latte at Starbucks, comes off like Charlie Chaplin on crystal meth; he's strenuously unfunny to watch.
  35. House at the End of the Street
    This is the rare horror film so bad that you almost wish it had turned into a good old connect-the-gory-dots slasher movie. The only mystery at work is how Lawrence's agent ever let her sign on to this.
  36. A Little Bit of Heaven
    Terminal colon cancer has never looked more fetching than in the critically ill romantic-disease comedy A Little Bit of Heaven.
  37. Crazy Eyes
    An appreciation that the pain is personal doesn't compensate for the picture's self-absorbed need to alienate.
  38. Getaway
    You will still be astonished by how flat-out awful it is.
  39. Problem Child
    With jokes this lame you won't have to worry as much about your children getting any bad ideas.
  40. Bad Johnson
    The jokes are flaccid, the acting is stiff, and the whole idea is such a boner, you have to wonder if the writer was missing another critical organ when he came up with it.
  41. Yoga Hosers
    Unless you’re Kevin Smith, don’t expect Yoga Hosers to be funny or clever or well directed. It isn’t for you.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Miracles from Heaven
    Miracles From Heaven stands firm atop a sloppily made case for faith over logic and spirituality over science, and for that, it’s challenging to view as a film instead of judgmental ideology in cinematic drag.
  43. Nine Lives
    Watching these videos of actual cats, all of whom have racked up countless views on YouTube, just serves to underscore how unfunny and neutered Nine Lives actually is.
  44. Ed
    Some things are funnier than a barrel of monkeys. Most things, frankly. And anything is funnier than Ed.
  45. Predator 2
    The whole noisy movie is really just a setup for the climactic duel between renegade cop Danny Glover and the monster. By that point, you’re pathetically grateful for a few stomach-churning special effects.
  46. Pure Luck
    Just about unwatchable — a numbingly repetitive farce in which the cursed Short trips, walks into walls, trips, spills an entire saltshaker onto his breakfast, trips, sets people on fire, trips…
  47. Hard to Kill
    At this point, revenge thrillers have become so standardized that these films are really all the same film — a Mixmaster blend of Death Wish, Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon, and Rambo. A star with a personality would only gum up the works.
  48. Out for Justice
    What’s numbing about this sub-Eastwood potboiler isn’t just the grisliness of the violence but the absence of any possibility that Seagal will stumble, or show doubt or pain, or have to challenge himself in order to defeat his enemies.
  49. Wild Orchid
    In the ludicrous soft-core fantasia Wild Orchid, Mickey Rourke is so tan he looks as though he’d spent a week with his head in a microwave.
  50. The Prophecy
    The Prophecy is an occult freakshow so inert it seems to have been pasted together out of stock footage.
    • 53 Metascore

    The Wiz
    Whatever fun this funked-up Wizard of Oz had on Broadway is erased by miscasting and a hideous design (Oz as a New York slum).
  52. Quigley Down Under
    Vapid, cutesy, knockabout Western.
  53. Men at Work
    Bottom-of-the-garbage-barrel comedy.
  54. Graffiti Bridge
    Graffiti Bridge is a sad fiasco — and except for Shake! the music (at least to my ears) is Prince at his most joyless, a collection of glorified rhythm tracks. For the first time, the revolutionary funkster seems to be preaching to a world that has left him behind.
  55. Crazy People
    The movie wants you to giggle and say, ”Yup, we sure are saps, aren’t we?”
  56. A Kiss Before Dying
    With its waxy color scheme and nonexistent pace, the movie is like an homage to Hitchcock’s worst period.

    Dr. Giggles
    At this late date, the rules of the adolescent slice-‘n’-dice genre have codified into ritual (teens + sex = death), suggesting that those who rent this may have bigger problems than just bad taste.

    Look Who's Talking Now
    Lie down with dogs like Look Who’s Talking Now! and you’ll end up with fleas.
  59. Metro
    In Metro, he’s been replaced by a slick, businesslike machine of an actor, playing an uninspired variation on the Axel Foley character he’s done for over a decade now, since starring in 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop. Only this time he’s not even funny.

    Ticks
    Icky doesn’t begin to describe it.
  61. Dirty Work
    Norm Macdonald proves himself to be the new Chevy Chase by following up his ”Weekend Update” stint with Dirty Work, a smug, unfunny feature flop.
  62. 2 Days in the Valley
    Writer-director John Herzfeld blends violence and top-heavy absurdism, creating a self-conscious muddle of indie-style hackery. Strip away the goofball nihilism, though, and what’s left is as formulaic as any straight-to-tape opus with a title like "Dangerous Instinct."
  63. Two If by Sea
    If you had never encountered Bullock’s patented brand of appealingly unglamorous, warm-eyed gal before this dispiriting production, you might think the star of Speed and The Net was nothing more than a Marisa Tomei knockoff.

    It's Pat: The Movie
    It's Pat is not only one of the most ill-conceived premises to get the big-screen treatment, it's also genuinely unpleasant to watch.
  65. Hurry Up Tomorrow
    Bad movies come and go, but Hurry Up Tomorrow presents the Weeknd as so needy and so irritating that it may have lasting effects. The next time one of his songs comes up on a playlist, I may hit fast-forward. I've spent enough time with this guy.
  66. Valentine's Day
    How you feel about Valentine's Day may depend on how you feel when someone really, really cute -- and someone you're really, really fond of -- gives you a nasty box of cheap chocolate on Valentine's Day, picked up at the corner Rite Aid and delivered with the price tag still attached.
  67. Old Dogs
    Exhausted as the premise already is -- hapless boomer learns that real manhood is a function of committed fatherhood -- Old Dogs nevertheless finds ways to make the lesson even less tolerable.
  68. The Men Who Stare at Goats
    A magical-realist sitcom war farce that ends up being about nothing but its own slovenly smugness.
  69. Transylmania
    It's tempting to say ''avoid at all costs,'' but truthfully, everyone should see something this bad at least once, if only to help us better appreciate the comparatively brainy merits of works like "Eurotrip," "Freddy Got Fingered," and the modern-day plague of movies with titles ending in "Movie."
  70. Alone in the Dark
    Far be it from me to dismiss a man's effort (Uwe Boll) in a sentence, but the film on your teeth after a three-day drunk possesses more cinematic value.
  71. Assisted Living
    Parts of the film play like the world's slowest and most insensitive reality show (Who Wants to Be an Octogenarian?).
  72. Bigger Than the Sky
    A huge pile of horsefeathers is being peddled as fairy dust in Bigger Than the Sky.
  73. D.E.B.S.
    The movie has no wit, no charm, no cleverness, no traction. Simply put, it is no fun.
  74. The Perfect Man
    What sin did Heather Locklear commit to deserve her role in The Perfect Man?
  75. Undead
    On the level of a no-budget student film in which the shots barely match up into sequences. It's about as much fun as watching blood dry.
  76. My Date with Drew
    Stupefyingly tedious and annoying.
  77. A Sound of Thunder
    So perfect in its awfulness, it makes one seriously consider a theory of unintelligent design.
  78. The Libertine
    The Libertine is such a torturous mess that it winds up doing something I hadn't thought possible: It renders Johnny Depp charmless.

    BloodRayne
    Ghastly-bad.
  80. Manderlay
    Manderlay is turgid and hollow.
  81. Night Watch: Nochnoi Dozor
    A fractious fiasco: whiplash camera movement set to raging blasts of death metal, a story so incoherent it made me wish I was watching, instead, the collected outtakes from Van Helsing.
  82. Doogal
    An animated movie designed with very young children in mind. And very young children should be very angry about that. Where is it written that 4-year-olds don't deserve a good story, decent characters, and a modicum of coherence?
  83. See No Evil
    As the killer, who plucks out his victims' eyeballs, Kane, the seven-foot bald WWE wrestler who's like a modern Tor Johnson, is so inept he's more cuddly than terrifying.
  84. Shadowboxer
    It doesn't take long to figure out that Shadowboxer 's Helen Mirren, as a cancer-ridden hitwoman, and Cuba Gooding Jr., as her doting stepson, are the most unconvincing team of hired assassins in movie history.
  85. Tideland
    Dour, absurdist, gruesomely awful.
  86. Wild Tigers I Have Known
    Fragmentation can be an artful method; it can also be the last refuge for someone who scarcely knows how to make a film. In the no-budget fantasia Wild Tigers I Have Known, the fragments are like a borrowed collage of gay coming-of-age tropes.
  87. In the Land of Women
    Combines hugs and ''pain'' and dialogue so fakey-cute it makes your ears hurt.
  88. I Know Who Killed Me
    A grisly piece of torture porn.
  89. Balls of Fury
    A joke of a title in search of a movie with a single good joke.
  90. Good Luck Chuck
    Can we finally just admit that Dane Cook isn't funny? In a comedy so lame its plot could've been swiped from a Bazooka Joe wrapper.

    The Comebacks
    Probably the worst movie that's sludged across my professional eyeballs -- worse than "Daddy Day Camp," "Baby Geniuses 2," and "BloodRayne."
  92. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
    Mr. Magorium, who is 243 years old (so are his jokes), is a cross between Willy Wonka and Geppetto, but Hoffman plays him with little more than a goofy dumb lisp, achieved by tucking his lower lip under his upper teeth, so that he looks just as rabbity-stoopid as he sounds.
  93. Youth Without Youth
    The movie is one soporific, depressed, deadeningly vague scene after another.
  94. Penelope
    Is there anything more dull than an ineptly cynical fairy tale?
  95. Sleepwalking
    A soporific dud, which should have been tossed out of Sundance.
  96. 88 Minutes
    A stinker, the more so for the thespian excesses of the accomplished cast.
  97. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    George Lucas is turning into the enemy of fun.
  98. Bangkok Dangerous
    The filmmakers even manage to turn seamy Bangkok into the least exotic setting imaginable.
  99. Hounddog
    Fanning is remarkably collected and even dignified. As for the rest of the gang, they ought to be returned to sender.
  100. The Last House on the Left
    This remake is merely vile (and dull).
