Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (1972)

No, I've never actually seen the whole movie, save for a 10-minute YouTube clip, which was more than enough for me. If it had enough votes to qualify for IMDB rankings, it would fall between #4-7 in the Bottom 100!

Imagine yourself, 9 years old, dropped off at the Cinema Theater in the Vineland shopping center to watch something called Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny while your mother goes hunting for last-minute Christmas items. The poster you saw in the lobby depicted Santa and a huge rabbit riding around in a vintage fire truck, but it has now been well over an hour and you've had to endure endless shots of a skinny, sweat-stained Santa, sitting in a sleigh, muttering about the heat in Florida as well as a wrenchingly boring movie about Thumbelina that was sprung on you from out of nowhere and you have yet to see any sign of this so-called Ice Cream Bunny. Anticipation builds. Against your better judgment, you force yourself to believe that there must be something truly awe-inspiring about the Ice Cream Bunny's ultimate appearance. At this stage, nothing less than a titanic rabbit GOD dispensing gallon after gallon of soft serve ice cream from a fire hose would justify the tedium you've endured. And then... This! THIS!! !! This winking, prancing, wrinkly freak! This saggy refugee from a costume shop bargain bin! THIS is your precious ICE CREAM BUNNY!! !! And not a single trace of ice cream!! ! You've been DUPED!! !! USED!! And if you hadn't fully realized it before, you certainly do now; adults can and will do terrible things to unsuspecting kids.. and you will never, ever forget it.


Star Wars Holiday Special is STILL worse. Because i've watched the whole thing. Several times. I don't know why.

the first Harry Potter movie (of course I didn't bother watching the rest)...pointless, lame, derivative.


I wasn't big on the first two movies, but I'm not sure if I'd group them with the worst movies ever.

I can't think of anything worse that I've seen, but of course, if a movie looks stupid, then I won't watch it.
Also, I didn't bother to read any HP books. Everything I've heard about them is derivative of something else, especially the whole idea of a school for wizards.

GIGLI - i was working at a theatre when this came out and practically no one came to see it. there's actually a scene in it where Jennifer Lopez is in a leotard doing yoga talking about how much she loves her p****. when THAT can't save the movie, you know you're in trouble.

THE BLACK DAHLIA - how can a movie CALLED the Black Dahlia NOT focus on the Black Dahlia murders? solving the murder was practically ignored for most of the film. it's almost as if the characters were FORCED to solve it because the plot demanded it, not because of actual interest. and in the case of Josh Hartnett you can tell the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.

THE LADY IN THE WATER - my old roommate had the DVD for some inexplicable reason. i'd heard so much i thought i'd take a look. i couldn't get past the first hour, it was just asinine. i haven't seen a Shyamalan movie since Signs, but even that held up despite the logistical problems.

8 CRAZY NIGHTS - another leftover from my theater days. i sometimes think about the poor Korean animator who had to animate Adam Sandler knocking a poor old man into a port-a-potty full of feces and how much he got paid to do so. the blatant advertising for such mall mainstays like Panda Express and Kay-B-Toys was appreciated (sarcasm).

MATRIX REVOLUTIONS - i seriously thought the movie had ended 5 minutes early. i just went "that's it??"

THE BIG BOUNCE - friend took me to see this. 15 minutes in i learned over to her and said "i don't give a s**t what happens to any of these people".

PEARL HARBOR - at this point basically include any movie where Ben Affleck is the lead. in defense he only co-starred in Good Will Hunting, Dazed and Confused was only a bit part, Dogma was an ensemble effort, and Chasing Amy i just try to focus on Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams (drool on the later).

since i'm a big fan of Transformers i'll have to say the new movie was just a pile of crap, for god's sake the Transformers themselves looked like rejects from Preditor or Aliens, the only highlight of the entire movie and the true star was THE voice of Optimus Prime Peter Cullen(none of that Gary Chalk crap), all the human actors sucked and oh yeah Mike Bay blows as a director, i bet even Nelson Shin(who directed the 1986 movie would have done a better job, and he's only a animation director) all in all dont watch this pile of rancid crap, go for the 1986 movie, may be 20 years old but it's miles better

American Beauty -- boring as hell.

Fargo -- same reason.

Napoleon Dynamite -- really just some excuse to run out the same old stereotypes and not provide anything like a cohesive story. oh yeah, and also the same reason as above.

Top Secret
Independence Day
Down and Out in Beverly Hills
The Grudge (never saw it, but the preview with the sound of the screaming cat turned me off)
There's Something About Mary
Meet the Fockers
Walk, Don't Run (probably one of the most boring films made with an Olympic Games theme)

I think Date Movie is the worst movie I've ever seen. It stopped being funny after the first 5 minutes.

I didn't laugh ONCE during this movie.

Next in line would have to be Cloverfield, or Evan Almighty.
