People shared their thoughts on what pieces of cinema should avoided after iamjeyrob asked everyone:
"Which was the 'Worst film' you ever watched?"
My list of bad movies is too long. I'll be depressed if I list them.
I hate myself...

Barely Finished...
"BIRDEMIC. Though, it was still a good time with friends, but man. Movie sucks. XD."
Raetheos1984
"One time I was visiting a friend and we watched The Room 12 times in 14 days. Somewhere in the middle we decided to watch Birdemic… we barely finished it."

"Birdemic is way funnier if you’ve lived in Silicon Valley. The main character is like a parody of what every SV startup founder thinks of themselves. His company just got bought out by Facebook and he’s dating a model."

I'm Sorry
"Actual worst film, no contest, Manos, the Hands of Fate. And I say this with a caveat that some people set out to make a mediocre movie and don't care that much how it turns out because it'll at least break even. Some people try to make a decent movie but it doesn't turn out that great but there's still something watchable in it. Manos is neither of those."
"Manos was made by a guy trying to prove how easy it was to make a horror movie. Which means he really tried to make a good movie, or at least a good horror movie. Turns out, it's not that easy. It fails on every metric of quality for filmmaking. The vast majority of people who know if it now know of it because of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which ran it as one of the bad movies they force the main character to watch."
"Manos is so bad, it's the only movie the mad scientists ever apologized for making him watch. It's hard enough for the MST3K audience to watch, even WITH the very funny commentary from the MST cast. Without that commentary, it's torture. Without a doubt, it is the worst film ever made."

No Judgements...
"God’s Not Dead. I thought it would be a so-bad-it’s-great kind of watch. But it was honestly the most aggravating 90 minutes I’ve ever watched."
"I won’t judge you for believing in God. I will judge the hell out of you for thinking this is a good movie."
MetalBroomz
"I seriously hate how they killed the atheist professor at the end. Rather than come to a conclusion or an agree-to-disagree ceasefire, they just have the so labeled 'villain' hit by a car and then force religion on him in the last vulnerable and painful moments of his life. And then the MC celebrates at a concert. The apathy and laziness is so freaking disgusting."

Not a Meow
Cat Meow GIF by Cats MovieGiphy"Cats. We heard it was bad, but thought it would be 'ha ha funny bad', not 'turn off after 30 minutes despite alcohol consumption' bad."

Oh Cats... well that is a moment in life where you wonder about your choices.

"You factor out all the movies made with less than a $10 million dollar budget and emoji movie is clearly the worst. Unwatchable."

Horrendous
"The live action Dragon Ball movie was also horrendous. LOL."
scottheeeeeeem
"Thankfully, it was so bad that it directly lead to the resurrection of F the Dragon Ball franchise. At the time of its release, it was the last piece of Dragon Ball media planned."
"After series creator Akira Toriyama saw how bad it was, he returned to the series to create the film Battle of the Gods, which was received so well that it was followed by Resurrection F, and an anime continuation, and a manga continuation of the anime that is still going today."

“so bad it’s good”
"Not a film but the Star Wars Holiday Special truly is as awful as everyone says. Truly. Now that the shock value is gone I’m not sure I can enjoy it even if it’s given the MST treatment. I quit twice before finally making it through the whole thing riffing it with my husband."
"And even THEN we almost quit halfway through when we realized grandpa wookie got a personal vr porn machine for Life Day."
"But if you make it to Bea Arthur’s musical number, congratulations. That actually was a 'so bad it’s good' moment and you’re also in the home stretch."

How did this happen?
"Mulan live-action remake. I honestly just can't fathom how this was made."
"'Hey, I've got a great idea guys! Let's remake Mulan, but... now hear me out here... let's remove every single thing that makes the original great! How could we possibly go wrong with this absolute genius?'"
MisterMarcus
"The Lion King live action was also terrible. Objectively worse movie in every single way. It's just so sad they took such amazing pieces of art and turned them into such garbage for a cash grab."

"Winter's Tale. My girlfriend at the time loved it. We saw it on Valentine's Day, and it's still the worst Valentine's Day I've ever had, single or with someone else."

"The very first time I went to a movie theater by myself, I saw that since none of my friends would go with me. That day I learned maybe all of my friends are smarter than me."
Rough-Basil
Yeah. I've seen none of these and never will. Thank you.
Do you have a box office bomb to add to the list? Let us know in the comments.
There are so many bad movies out there who knows where to begin. I do... Jason X (Jason in Space). It's BRILLIANTLY bad. You'll thank me later.
Cringe

"Definitely. I watched it once with my sister and it was so terrible that the only entertainment we got from it was making jokes about the cringeworthy scenes. They could've done so much more with this adaptation."

"A talking cat."
Dlavernia89I
"I loved this movie. A drunk Eric Roberts literally phoning in his dialog for the cat. The very clearly homosexual dad and son talking about girl problems..."
"Then finding out the director usually makes gay porn. I made some friends watch this. They weren't nearly as smitten as I was with it. I don't like cats and they do. I figured this was just some way a rich dipsh*t found to immortalize their cat. If I had that kind of money, I would have done it for my dog."

The Best of Bad
"Birdemic, the definition of 'comically bad.'"
david_burke2500
"Birdemic is a masterpiece of ineptitude. No part of it was not the worst it could possibly be. Terrible acting? Woo-boy. Clueless directing? In spades. Ham-handed editing? Hopeless special effects? Sound quality of two tin cans tied with string? Birdemic has it all."

Wrong...
"Dragon Ball Evolution."
SnooChipmunks126
"Goku who for whatever reason is a high school student. Imagine getting a character that incredibly wrong. A character that you could google, and learn every single inch of their personality traits, likes, dislikes, speaking mannerisms etc. You would think it's impossible to play or write that character wrong."

Worst of the Worst
"I visited my mom a few weeks ago and I saw this awful piece of crap movie on Lifetime with her, about a disk jockey trying to find love and running into a killer. Horrible acting, horrible story, shi**y writing. Worst movie I ever saw in my life. I don’t know the title. That movie was the first Lifetime movie I saw in full since I was a child living in a house with one television. 😂 Those things didn’t get any better."

Shrewed
"'The Killer Shrews' when I was home after school in the 1950s, I watched black & white movies on TV. (I was probably 9 or 10). This one was so badly done, I kept watching out of fascination. People are isolated on an island, where shrews have grown to enormous size. There's a line like 'shrews had to eat their body weight in food every day,' so the risk is that they will attack and eat you."
"Much of the movie has people just sitting around, saying pointless dialogue, looking worried. That part is so boring. But then you see the shrews. They're dogs with big tails. They walk like dogs, casually, not at all threateningly, while the people shriek. Hand puppets of shrews were also used. The shrew scenes are so poorly done it's really funny. I had to keep watching."

Ho Ho NO!
"Krampus: The Christmas Devil (2013). I thought I'm going for the 2015 Krampus I intended but mixed my movies and... it's just... bad in every aspect. Story, dialogues, scenes, acting, costumes, camera, sound, soundtrack, effects, everything is terrible!"
Boredombringsthis
"Watched it with my girlfriend during the holidays and said all I liked about it (and we didn’t finish it) was the title and I pronounced it Krahm-POOSE… over and over at random times of the day for like a week."

The Horror
Ian Mckellen Yes GIF by Cats MovieGiphy"I've seen Cats 3 times, there is something horrifying and fascinating about it to me. It's a mystifying movie, I don't understand why, it's genuinely extremely terrible. The only part that shatters the glamour and just becomes outright bad to me is James Corden."
RDAwesome
Now that is a list of horror. I can't imagine any of that sober.
