Based on the article published by in 2015 titled "The 20 Worst Movies Ever Made" , here is the list.
In 2015, the online film publication Taste of Cinema published a provocatively titled list: Unlike similar lists by mainstream outlets (e.g., Rotten Tomatoes’ “100 Worst-Reviewed Movies” or IMDb’s Bottom 100), this list was curated from a cinephile’s critical perspective —blending box-office failures, critically reviled films, and cultishly bad movies.
Widely dubbed the "Citizen Kane of bad movies," Tommy Wiseau’s disaster is a surreal masterpiece of nonsensical dialogue and bizarre plotting.
The list distinguishes between "enjoyably bad" cult classics and films that are simply flat, forced, or incompetent. Key highlights from the 2015 compilation include:
| Rank | Film Title | Year | Notable for | |------|------------|------|--------------| | 20 | The Wicker Man (remake) | 2006 | Nicolas Cage’s overacting, bear-punching scene | | 19 | Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever | 2002 | 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, incoherent action | | 18 | The Last Airbender | 2010 | M. Night Shyamalan’s career low, whitewashing, mispronunciation | | 17 | From Justin to Kelly | 2003 | American Idol cash-grab musical | | 16 | Gigli | 2003 | Ben Affleck & J.Lo, infamous “berry” scene | | 15 | Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 | 2004 | Talking toddlers, Nazi villain, surreal nonsense | | 14 | Alone in the Dark | 2005 | Uwe Boll’s worst; nonsensical plot & editing | | 13 | The Room | 2003 | Cult “Citizen Kane of bad movies” | | 12 | Disaster Movie | 2008 | Bottom of the spoof-movie barrel | | 11 | Son of the Mask | 2005 | Unfunny, CGI nightmare, career-killer | | 10 | Jack and Jill | 2011 | Adam Sandler’s double role, Dunkaccino | | 9 | Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas | 2014 | Proselytizing, bizarre theology, no plot | | 8 | Troll 2 | 1990 | “Oh my God!” – documentary Best Worst Movie | | 7 | Birdemic: Shock and Terror | 2010 | Coat-hanger birds, green-screen incompetence | | 6 | Cool as Ice | 1991 | Vanilla Ice vehicle, anti-gravity rapping | | 5 | The Garbage Pail Kids Movie | 1987 | Nightmare puppets, nothing like the cards | | 4 | Battlefield Earth | 2000 | Scientology-funded, Dutch angles, John Travolta | | 3 | Manos: The Hands of Fate | 1966 | Legendarily bad, incomplete sound, padded with driving scenes | | 2 | Plan 9 from Outer Space | 1959 | Ed Wood’s masterpiece of ineptitude | | 1 | | 2012 | Animated grocery products, celebrity voices, $65M+ loss |
A centerpiece of cinematic failure, reviled for its heavy-handed Dutch angles, nonsensical plot, and John Travolta’s eccentric performance.
The list notably focused on , excluding silent-era or early Hollywood productions, and emphasized films that were either technically inept , morally offensive , boring despite high budgets , or so bad they became legendary .
However, subsequent years (2016–2025) have produced even more notorious contenders (e.g., The Emoji Movie , Cats , The Fanatic ), but the 2015 list remains a .
These are just a few examples, but there are many more movies that could be included on such a list.
