  1. The Bounty Hunter
    In The Bounty Hunter, the couple that foils a bunch of tiresome grade-C thriller goons together stays together. Whether or not that's a recipe for love, it's certainly not a formula for romantic-comedy magic.
  2. The Do-Over
    The plot threads can be a little hard to follow, especially since most of them revolve around two unseen characters who are dead before the story even begins, but Sandler and Spade’s partnership gives the whole enterprise enough emotional grounding to make up for it.
  3. That's What She Said
    This nadir of equal-opportunity raunch forces viewers to spend time with a needy yeast-infested adult who doesn't know how to go on a date with a man; her grating, neurotic monster of a best friend; and a third, random younger chick, who's crazy-upset about some tedious thing that happened with her boyfriend.
  4. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
    Lawrence's gender-bending jokes are played out, and his slapstick is wooden and slow.
  5. Running Free
    This may be the first talking-animal movie in which the critter hero seems to have been body-snatched by a commentator from C-SPAN.
  6. The Ladies Man
    One more case of a winning ''SNL'' character tamed by the wan, fizzled farce around him.
  7. Saving Silverman
    In one rotten production -- all involved have managed to create the most unlikable, man hating, woman hating, unfunny idiots since ''Whipped'' ended up on worst movie lists last year.
  8. Pokémon 3: The Movie
    Enjoyable only if you're under the age of 7 -- or the influence of psychedelic drugs.
    • 22 Metascore

    Black Christmas
    Twice as many accidental laughs as scares.
  10. Twelve
    Twelve ogles the lost boys and girls as they make their mistakes. But unlike the novel, the movie never really gets inside these kids, who aren't in the least all right.
  11. New Year's Eve
    New Year's Eve is dunderheaded kitsch, but it's the kind of marzipan movie that can sweetly soak up a holiday evening.
  12. Passion Play
    This underworld fairy tale is so soggy and sentimental it's like a new genre: Hallmark noir.
  13. Getaway
    You will still be astonished by how flat-out awful it is.
  14. Shark Night 3D
    A ho-hum series of kills and lulls so predictable that it doesn't even look like much fun for the sharks; when they open wide, they might as well be yawning.
  15. Out Cold
    About as arousing as an icy shower.
  16. The Watcher
    Reeves is a stiff dancer and he delivers his lines in a full leather jacket monotone.
  17. Christmas with the Kranks
    In its hostile sitcom way, Christmas With the Kranks is a paranoid comic nightmare of conformity gone mad.
  18. The Cold Light of Day
    The result apes "The Bourne Identity" so slavishly yet so boringly it winds up with no identity at all.
  19. One for the Money
    It will have you groaning between yawns.
  20. Cabin Boy
    Few comedies have worked this hard to make everyone on screen look this dumb.
  21. Molly
    Viewers will never be molly-fied by this tripe.
  22. Say It Isn't So
    A black comedy in the form of vicarious serial punishment.
  23. Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector
    As an expat redneck, I recognize the deep, dumb need of every group for its own culturally customized minstrel show. Larry, a junker ''star'' vehicle run on arse wind and fan love, fills that niche.
  24. The Body
    This cinematic stiff should have stayed buried.
  25. Norm of the North
    The animation already looks dated, and it feels as lazy as the bland narrative.
  26. The Zodiac
    The Zodiac has been made with the dunderheaded flatness of bad '70s TV.
  27. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
    Lacks even the good, guilty setup of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" -- the sense that the heroes are fleeing the consequences of their own crime.
  28. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
    Everything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety "Van Wilder."
  29. 8MM
    The whole movie turns into a violent, pointless, torture-or-be-tortured chase.
  30. Held Up
    In the end, even Foxx is drowned out by the parade of one-note supporting characters.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Geostorm
    A disastrous disaster movie that is actually quite low on the disasters to its own detriment.
  32. Dirty Grandpa
    Dirty Grandpa feels like spending 100-plus minutes with a scatalogical toddler, proudly showing you what he made in his diaper. Don’t look if you don’t have to.
  33. Killers
    The steady drip-drip-drip of nothings like this are killing us all.
  34. The Order
    The picture is so lethargic that I began to think of watching it as a form of atonement.
  35. Summer Catch
    Freddie Prinze Jr. has a look in his eye that is equal parts self-infatuation and boyish flash of fear.
  36. Life Itself
    Excellent performers are wasted, especially the criminally underutilized Mandy Patinkin and Annette Bening, both of whom appear in just bit parts. With far too much confidence but nothing to say, Life Itself lives up to the college-freshman affectedness of its own title.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Bratz
    A movie based on a doll line, is an M&M-colored high school fantasia for aspirational 10- and 12-year-old girls who'll be shocked (or, hopefully, delighted) when they get to ninth grade and find out life isn't so super-Bratz-fabulous.
  38. Highlander: Endgame
    The endless, numbing sameness of it all.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Wing Commander: Space Will Never Be the Same
    The effects are laughably primitive, the dialogue hilariously atrocious -- and those are the good parts.
  40. 3000 Miles to Graceland
    This is a high octane ride that starts to leak gas before it even gets going.
  41. Bigger Than the Sky
    A huge pile of horsefeathers is being peddled as fairy dust in Bigger Than the Sky.
  42. 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.
  43. An American Carol
    A loony attack on wacko liberalism and a ding-dong defense of wacko conservatism.
  44. Accidental Love
    The race for the worst film of 2015 is officially on.
  45. Spinning Into Butter
    A painfully miscast Parker nervously flips her hair and waves her hands, sitcom-style, as a do-gooding dean of students.
  46. Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil
    The movie can't be saved from its own vices of manic pacing and tediously pro forma pop culture jokes.
  47. The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest
    It appears to have been modeled on the worst revenge-of-the-nerds clichés the filmmakers could dredge up.
  48. A Haunted House
    If the result features around 1,783 too many fart gags, to be fair, it also boasts a couple of genuine minor scares. Although there's no doubt that the film's most horrible sight is a way-too-long shot of Swardson's naked rump.
    • 20 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Saw V
    The production values have become so horror-movie shoddy that Saw V has more in common with kitsch like "Friday the 13th Part V" than the original "Saw."
  50. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
    Regardless of your personal views, Expelled's heavy-handed bias (a visit to Darwin's home gets the same eerie music as a tour of Dachau) is exasperating.
  51. Son of the Mask
    The characters twirl around like mini tornadoes, but between random brash moments of technological eye-tickling, Son of the Mask sags more than it spins.
  52. The Last Airbender
    The movie is "Star Wars" with martial arts, plus a touch of "The Last Emperor." Technically, it's not badly done; I enjoyed the physical clash of elements, the water balls rising like sculpture in the air.
  53. Whatever It Takes
    Populated by ersatz versions of stars who, in this case, are fairly vanilla to begin with.
  54. Joe Dirt
    Ends up blowing its own joke. Instead of making Joe blissfully arrogant in his Southern rock dude myopia, it turns him into a shuffling masochistic loser.
  55. Soul Survivors
    The only possible reason to see this otherwise average afternoon waster is Sagemiller.
  56. Marci X
    A talent-stuffed assemblage of barbs and giddy musical numbers that shouldn't be written off as a feature flop -- but savored instead for the cult-ready collection of late-night satirical skits and misses it is.
  57. Corky Romano
    It might be courting hyperbole to call Corky Romano the single worst movie ever to feature an ''SNL'' cast member (Dan Aykroyd hit some pretty arid valleys), but I'm willing to go out on a critical limb and rank it among the all-time bottom dozen.
  58. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    Aa shockingly chintzy spin-off of Fox's post ''Pokémon'' cartoon hit.
  59. Assassin's Bullet
    The cockeyed C-quality B movie, shot on location with a Balkan supporting cast and crew, mixes a precarious pileup of visual clichés with over-staged action sequences.
  60. The Cat in the Hat
    Someone (Myers?) came up with the bright idea of turning the Cat in the Hat into the worst Vegas nightclub spritzer of 1958. He's become a furry version of Rip Taylor: a walking, talking vaudeville idiot box.

    Virus
    The pathogenic agent to fear, however, is the one that evidently turned every line of dialogue into inane gibberish.
  62. All the Queen's Men
    The comedy is nonexistent.
  63. Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    Has the look of a great fairy tale -- all that's missing is the tale.
  64. Underclassman
    The loserville teen comedy Underclassman is like a student project sloppily cribbed from other kids' notes -- kids who have seen "Rush Hour" and still can't get over how funny it is to stick a noisy black guy in a distinctly nonblack setting.
  65. 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.
  66. 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.
    • 19 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Lost & Found
    Long on smarm and short on charm.
  68. Grown Ups 2
    For Sandler, it's not just when he grew up. It's the garden of idiotic innocence, something that, in Grown Ups 2, he is helping to keep alive.
    • 19 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    The Covenant
    Cobbled-together teenybopper tripe.
  70. Gummo
    There's no artistic or thematic point — except maybe to demonstrate that a young filmmaker is as much in need of someone to say no as the characters in this disingenuous exercise.
  71. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
    Without any of the patented Farrelly insight into the insecure, horndoggy teen in every man, and without a grown-up setting in which Harry and Lloyd can transgress like dum-dum geniuses,Dumb and Dumberer is dumberest.
  72. 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.
  73. Downloading Nancy
    There are brutal scenes with razor blades and other impromptu devices of erotic torment, but what makes the movie a trial to sit through isn't just the heroine's pain-freak tastes.
  74. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
    Kaos was apparently aiming for a coolly stylized, straight-faced take on ''Spy vs. Spy.'' As Maxwell Smart used to say, ''Missed it by that much.''
  75. Halloween: Resurrection
    Halloween: Resurrection comes closer to comatainment.
  76. Species II
    "Species" at least had the benefit of Henstridge's glazed porn-doll perversity, but this time any glimmers of sexual ominousness are buried in a lame, desultory chase plot and in the woefully underimagined special effects.
  77. Surviving Christmas
    There are no survivors here.
    • 19 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Supernova
    Director Walter Hill won't take credit for Supernova... Can you blame him?
  79. Polar
    Åkerlund — the Swedish mastermind behind tastemaking music videos for the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift — has jittery, high-gloss style to spare. But the primary-colored nihilism of his storytelling feels amateurish and ultimately exhausting; a gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there.
  80. Valentine
    Doesn't contain a single scary or imaginative moment.
    • 18 Metascore

    BloodRayne
    Ghastly-bad.
  82. Ultraviolet
    Ultraviolet, warns someone, ''Don't overthink it.'' Sage advice for anyone masochistic enough to watch this pile of poorly pixelated vampire poo.
  83. Company Man
    If you've always longed to see a Cold War satire done in the hit 'em over the head frantic camp mode of ''Love, American Style,'' then Company Man is the movie for you.
  84. Gigli
    A watchable bad movie, but it's far from your typical cookie-cutter blockbuster. There are no shoot-outs or car chases, and there isn't much romantic suspense, either.
  85. Swept Away
    Ritchie made a movie that never pretends to be more than a guilty pleasure of soft-core kitsch, and Madonna and Giannini (son of Giancarlo, costar of the original) achieve a lively S&M chemistry.

    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.
  87. 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.
  88. The Wash
    This rusty jalopy of a movie, which is so ramshackle it's nearly enough to make you forget how tossed-together the 1976 ''Car Wash'' was.
  89. Serving Sara
    The few jaunty, ''Friends''-inflected lines Perry does get off are lost among the cow pies.
  90. The Fanatic
    Unfortunately for Travolta (and for us), only one movie can hold the dubious distinction of being the worst. In place of Wiseau-style eccentricity, The Fanatic has contempt for both its characters and audience.
  91. The Darkest Hour
    You should be rooting for the humans, but you might as well be rooting for the blobs. Most likely, though, you'll just be rooting for the credits.
  92. The Devil Inside
    While this religio-horror effort does contain some nice scares, and a memorably unnerving turn from Crowley, The Devil Inside's biggest shock arrives when it abruptly ends - just as it hits its stride. The result is a found-footage movie whose third act remains missing.
  93. 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag
    Aims for dark farce but ends up playing more like Weekend at Bernie's Part VIII. [25 Apr 1997, p. 50]

    Death Wish 3

    Movie 43
    At its best, Movie 43 resembles a risqué episode of Saturday Night Live - a comparison reinforced by the presence of both parody ads and Jason Sudeikis. At its worst? Let's just say that Hugh Jackman fans who want to remember the actor as Jean Valjean and not as a guy with a scrotum sprouting from his neck should make alternate plans this weekend.
  96. Boat Trip
    Had the ghost of Paul Lynde swanned by in a caftan-clad cameo, you couldn't find a more outdated, miscalculated collection of stale, queen-size stereotypes than those trotted out on this ship of fools.
  97. Mr. Magoo
    With Mr. Magoo, it’s the filmmakers who seem blind.
  98. The Nutcracker
    Terry Gilliam-ish territory here, spiked with imagery from Holocaust nightmares and drug trips. Attention, university film clubs: Here's your cult-ready midnight-movie programming.
  99. Vampires Suck
    The exception is newcomer Jenn Proske, who spoofs Twilight star Kristen Stewart's flustered, hair-tugging angst with hilarious precision.
  100. 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.
