Since Rym officially declares Clifford to be the worst movie ever made, that gave me the idea to bring this topic to the people.
What do you think is the worst movie ever made?
For me, it's Freddy Got Fingered. It was basically a 90-minute episode of The Tom Green Show, only much, much worse. It had godawful, disjointed writing and was filled with so many gross-out gags that it's literally unwatchable.

Also, its geography was completely screwed up. The showed the characters leaving Louisville going north on I-65 towards Elizabethtown, when in reality that would send them towards Indianapolis. They had scenes you could tell where filmed in Lexington and Bardstown supposedly happening in Elizabethtown. Then they went to Memphis, which in the movie was just around the corner from Elizabethtown. In reality, it's about six hours away. I can't say enough bad things about this movie.
I was 14 and turned it off because it was so god damn stupid.
The story is about a boy and his parents go on vacation in the mountains to a city called Nilbog. To make a long story short, some people start disappearing and the boy figures out that Nilbog spelled backwards is Goblin, and that there are vegetarian goblins that take people and turn them into vegetables, then eat them.
The first Dungeons and Dragons movie.

My pick is still Manos: Hand Of Fate which is soul-crushingly boring in addition to being completely incompetently made, the only thing that makes it halfway watchable is the MST3K episode ("World's Slowest Car Chase")
Runners up:
Queen of the Damned
Mystic River
Dancer in the Dark
Battlefield Earth
Transformers
Déjà Vu
Million Dollar Baby
This is the MD Geist kind of bad. The plot is horrible, plot holes every few seconds, a budget the size of my paycheck, and actors who really don't care how the film looks. One of the actors didn't care so much he died in the middle of shooting. They had to fake that character's death by using his old home movies, and replace him with someone who looked nothing like him.
The movie is hilarious, though, and is great for a group viewing.
Now, if you said one of the most disappointing movies ever, I'd still disagree, but less so.
EDIT: Holy shit, I completely forgot about Pathfinder. It's an abortion. Don't see it. Ever.
Relative to my expectations for a given movie, however, The Bourne Supremacy and the first Mr. Bean movie disappointed me the most.
George Burns sings "Fixing a Hole". Unholy.
I think many people mistake bad movies for The Worst movie. Most modern movies have at least a few redeeming values, to be The Worst movie it has to have nothing at all that you liked about it. But obviously an opinion is an opinion.
Even though it's bad, it's worth watching, because you'll laugh trying to figure out what were they taking and what they must have been saying to themselves while filming - "Hey, this would be a good time to show more motocross!"
It was a movie about a 14 year old boy who is (wait for it...) supposed to save to world, but he doesn't know this until a group of old heroes tell him. Apparently, this boy is supposed to be the seeker - the one whose job it is to find the "signs" before "The Dark" gains full power, and envelopes the world in darkness. The Dark is going to reach his full power in seven days (for no apparent reason), and only the power of the signs can stop him.
First of all, the concept of the movie is exceedingly stupid, and there are way too many things that are left unexplained (how The Dark gains his powers, for example.) There is a "romantic" element to the movie, but the result of that can be guessed five minutes after the "plot" begins. Let's see...
The visual effects were exceedingly jerky and frequently used, that I could imagine at least two people out of a full theater having an epileptic seizure. I nearly vomited myself, because the effects were just so, shall we say... "Spinny?" And good god, they just HAD to put at least four of those effects into every fucking scene! As my great grandpappy Joe used to tell me, "Special effects do not a good movie make."
I'm sorry about the long post, but seriously, DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE! [/rant]
