#1Worst Movie you saw all the way through

Related to the thread about "worst movie you walked out on"--this is your personal bid for Worst Freaking Movie of All Time--which you know because you suffered all the way through it. And I'm not talking SHOWGIRLS or ISHTAR fun-bad--just BAD.
I have three candidates (I think this is harder to choose than a "best movie")--
ROMANTIC COMEDY--Early '80s abomination (and prime example of false advertising, as it is anti-romantic and humorless) that pairs Dudley Moore with Mary Steenburgen. Vomiting yet? I had the exact same reaction to this film as critic Pauline Kael--I didn't walk out because the movie actually drained me of the strength needed to get up and leave.
CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK--Screechy, ugly, completely incoherent sci-fi fantasy which makes you feel as if your head is being ground through the floor. Being a Dame of the British Empire does not guarantee dignified film roles, as poor Judi Dench demonstrates with her performance as an ectoplasmic sage-spirit who at one point is CAPTURED AND CHAINED UP (couldn't she just float through the chains and disappear?) I passed the time hoping Dame Judi kept a journal during the making of this one.
LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD--60s French "art movie" (not art, and hardly a movie) in which glamorous French world-weary types alternate between striking department-store mannequin poses and redundant arguments about whether they met last year at Marienbad (or Fredericksbad, or Baden-Salsa, or...). For insomniacs resistant to treatment. I'm not kidding--people barely MOVE in this movie, they just stand in tableaux while the camera pans around them and disembodied voiceovers babble on about the meaningless of existence. (I only WISH I could prove this movie didn't actually exist.)
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

Posted: 12/31/06 at 6:34pmSaw : I don't see why anyone thought this movie was good enough to merit a sequel. If someone here has any idea, please enlighten me :)

Posted: 12/31/06 at 6:35pmcatharsis, Vanilla Sky was my first thought upon seeing this title.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Posted: 12/31/06 at 6:41pmMAJOR PAYNE. Just...absolutely the worst movie I've ever seen. And let me tell you, it is really hard for me to hate movies.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

Sweet Home Alabama.
I knew this was going to be horrible from the previews, but my partner really wanted to go so I indulged him. It was as if they crammed every single romantic comedy cliche into a diabetese inducing crapfest. Love Reese Witherspoon but even she couldn't save this turkey.

A Walk to Remember
And all my stupid friend could say during the movie was "omg Mandy Moore is SO pretty!"

I haven't seen the first one, but I was unlucky enough to be forced to watch, and sit through, Saw II
