Hard Candy stands without peer.
People point to "Plan 9 From Outer Space" as being the worst movie ever but "Eegah" starring Arch Hall, Jr. and Richard Kiel in the title role makes it look like an Academy Award winner in comparison. I'm drawn to it, I'm going to check to see if it's on line. For some reason this was a cult favorite on late nite movies in Milwaukee in the early fifties, long before Mystery Science Theater 3000 picked it up.

A movie trying to hit a higher level that I remember as being horrible because I was unwillingly made to go with my crazed teenage daughter was "Velvet Goldmine", which was David Bowie meets Citizen Kane. Had a cast of people I like including Toni Collette, but I remember it as being a pretentious horror. If it's on line, I might have to have another look but suspect that ten minutes will be enough.

Given that the original held no charm for us, we passed on the sequel. "Lacks the charm of the original" has become part of family lore.

1. Gone Fishin' - with Joe (Joe Pesci) and Gus (Danny Glover) ughh... even as a kid I found it appalling
2. Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever - with Corey Feldman - Horrible in every way possible...

Ishtar and Howard the Duck would have to be my two worst.
I actually felt cheated at the dollar theater when I saw Howard the Duck.

Plan Nine From Outer Space
Plan 9 from Outer Space is considered by some critics, including Michael Medved, to be the worst film in the history of cinema. So bad it has became a cult classic.

Mixed Nuts
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Steve Martin was in both of these...I actually like a lot of his movie work, but these two are painful all around.

Plan 9 is in the so bad it's good genre...it's actually fun to watch because it is so inept. I love the scene where two cops are creeping through a graveyard and one of them knocks a cardboard "tombstone" over...and quickly picks it up and puts it back into place. Ed Wood was not one to waste much film or spend much time editing...

I've never seen "Plan 9" or "Ishtar", but I've heard they are very, very bad.
My vote: I concur with "Eegah". I saw it, and was embarrassed, even though I didn't have anything to do with it. Maybe it was because I was watching it...
And, the one my two brothers and I walked out of the theater on: "Starcrash (1978)", a pile of grossness that was so bad, I like to think that we escaped the theater. I can remember two of us were sniping at our brother about dragging us to the theater to attempt to watch this terrible movie. Sorry Christopher Plummer and David Hasselhoff... embarrassing.
You can also consider "Manos, the Hand of Fate", "Attack of the the Eye Creatures" (sic), and quite a few others that have all been made fun of by MST3K, but they did it for us.

I saw there is an upcoming TV show of this on TNT. It looked terrible and everything I read about it makes it seem terrible.
O an Battlefield Earth and Grease are my choices.
I was reminded by a friend of this, I retract Battlefield Earth and in its place I submit Phantasm. Not even a really nice Challenger could make that a good movie.

Hard Candy was supposed to be very uncomfortable to watch, so in that regard it succeeded amazingly and was therefor in a way 'good', unpleasant as it was. But it sure wasn't a warm and fuzzy Disney movie, that's for sure.
