Films that don’t hold up well over time certainly qualify, especially if they were dated even before they were released.

Case in point: 1983’s Warrior of the Lost World. Definitely awful, especially the (“bad mothers”) talking motorcycle, as they tried to go for the Mad Max vibe and missed completely. View a clip of it being skewered on MST3K here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7648338589396107019

I also don’t know if I could even name a worst film of all time. The worst film I’ve seen in the past decade, easily SEVEN POUNDS…because “death by jellyfish” (or at least as portrayed in the film) was just the silliest ending imaginable to a film that took itself way too seriously.

And many films that seem bad, are really just dated, and often times difficult to watch. I personally hate films that deal with cancer. Does that make them bad? No. I just won’t watch them.

You’re absolutely correct that while we here may not have cared for the film when we first saw it 20+ years ago, the film does have plenty of fans – as we also pointed out above. Thanks for the links showing the counterpoint.

Question: what would you list as qualifiers for “worst film”?

Oh, and no where does it claim to be a directors cut…it’s the first US dvd release, with hours of extras.
