    Baby Geniuses
    The worst movie of 1999.
  2. Sleepover
    Yes, it's all a harmless lark. Which is why the only thing that could redeem this sour patch of candy-coated crud would be a final shot of Earth exploding.
  3. The King and I
    It's a puzzlement how so many pros could have so wrecked one of the most beloved, hummably familiar movie musicals in the Rodgers and Hammerstein repertoire.
  4. From Justin to Kelly
    It's like ''Grease: The Next Generation'' acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld.
  5. Garage Days
    There's something uniquely embarrassing about a rock & roll fable that is no more authentic (and no less coy) than an episode of ''The Monkees'' yet insists on presenting itself as the epitome of rebel-yell cool.
  6. Hudson Hawk
    This may be the only would-be blockbuster that's a sprawling, dissociated mess on purpose. It's a perverse landmark: the first postmodern Hollywood disaster.
  7. Kikujirô no natsu
    The film isn't just bad; it's a barely coherent, inert mess -- a heart-tugger for voidoids.
  8. The Saint
    Top-heavy with whimsy, so muddled it makes Mission: Impossible look like a model of narrative cohesion, The Saint is the apo-theosis of the new incoherence, with the cliches of espionage and action thrillers jammed together like bumper cars.
  9. What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?
    The film treats its audience like fidgety junior-high schoolers, piling on the sub-Koyaanisqatsi cityscapes and cheesy episodes with Marlee Matlin as a lonely photographer, plus bouncy cartoons of human cells who look as if they'd be happier chasing stains in bathroom-cleanser commercials.
  10. Eight Crazy Nights
    You know all that artistic cred Adam Sandler built up with his acclaimed work in ''Punch-Drunk Love''? Well, he flushes it down the crapper with Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights -- the most ill-conceived animated comedy since the 1991 dog ''Rover Dangerfield.''
  11. Freddy Got Fingered
    To dismiss this movie for being ''offensive'' would be to offer it high praise.
  12. Patch Adams
    Oooh, this is toxic.
  13. Say It Isn't So
    A black comedy in the form of vicarious serial punishment.
  14. Surviving Christmas
    There are no survivors here.
  15. Bubble Boy
    After enduring only a few minutes of this shrill debacle, you'll feel more trapped in the theater than Jimmy is by his bubble.
  16. A Life Less Ordinary
    The real problem is the movie itself. The plot, with its interlocking contrivances, is like a machine that keeps trapping the actors in its gears. Since they aren't allowed to relate to each other on a simple human level, the spangly back-and-forth chemistry on which a romantic comedy depends is nowhere in sight.
  17. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
    Carrey suggests an escaped mental patient impersonating a game-show host-and, what's worse, his hyperbolically obnoxious shtick is the whole damned show.
  18. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
    Cowgirls, a flaky-surreal adaptation of Tom Robbins' 1976 feminist hipster road novel, finds the director of "Drugstore Cowboy" and "My Own Private Idaho" lost in the ozone of his own private whimsies.
  19. Being Human
    Being Human doesn't seem to be about anything: Its five astonishingly limp parables might have been spun by a depressed Aesop who forgot to take his Prozac.
  20. The Hottest State
    Whatever you're imagining -- self-serving self-awareness; unedited hipster mopes; yammering dear-diary script -- The Hottest State, Ethan Hawke's bathetic tale of a good-looking young actor's first heartbreak, is far worse.
  21. The Host
    It's really a dramatic sinkhole.
  22. 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.
  23. 2016: Obama's America
    Dinesh D'Souza's documentary is no mere screed: 2016: Obama's America is a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination.
  24. 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.
  25. Left Behind
    At best, Left Behind is shoddily made sensationalist propaganda — with atrocious acting — that barely registers as entertainment. At worst, it's profoundly moronic.
  26. Let's Be Cops
    If Let's Be Cops were content to be simply an unfunny genre exercise, it would be easy to dismiss it and move on. But the sting of astoundingly ill-advised sexism and homophobia is harder to shake.
  27. Annabelle
    For a superior experience, go buy a disturbing-looking doll that says ''Don't go see Annabelle'' when you pull its string.
  28. Independence Day: Resurgence
    Disposable and shockingly inept.
  29. Accidental Love
    The race for the worst film of 2015 is officially on.
  30. The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)
    Even by the series’ already low standards, The Human Centipede Part 3 is crap.
