Before adding a movie to the list:
Ensure that it is widely considered one of the worst films by a broad spectrum of both casual and professional film critics. There are hundreds of "bad" or even "crappy" films, this page is for the worst.
Cite at least one of those sources (Preferably the most reliable one(s)) that explicitly calls it "one of the worst films ever"
Check the list of films removed from this article to see if it has already been considered. If so, please ask on this talk page before re-adding it. If removing a movie from the list, please add it to the Removed films page, with a comment detailing your reasons for doing so.

Article needs a LOT of revision, and maybe even deletion?
Far too many "poor films" listed in this article - as opposed to truly awful films. Likewise also a lot of very minor B movies. And that, surely, is not the point of this article? A lot of the films need removing as cinematically insignificant. And, maybe, given that this is a "list"... the whole thing should just be deleted. 37.250.141.158 (talk) 21:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've said this before and I'll say it again: this article is one of the best policed articles of its kind on Wikipedia. If you monitor the talk page for long enough you'll see just how many proposals are rejected and how many citations are needed for entry. I worked with other editors to ensure "Cats" was included, and it wasn't easy. This article will always need tidying, but deletion is simply for the birds. doktorbwordsdeeds23:28, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An adaptation of Dr. Seuss'1957 book of the same name, The Cat in the Hat stars Mike Myers in the title role. The film was widely criticised for it's screenplay, over use of adult humor, lack of faithfulness to the source material, performances (particularly Myers') and the appearance of the title character. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film one star, stating: "Cat, another overblown Hollywood raid on Dr. Seuss, has a draw on Mike Myers, who inexplicably plays the Cat by mimicking Bert Lahr in The Wizard of Oz." Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two out of four stars. Although he praised the production design, he considered the film to be "all effects and stunts and CGI and prosthetics, with no room for lightness and joy". Ebert and co-host Richard Roeper gave the film "Two Thumbs Down" on their weekly movie review program. Roeper said of Myers' performance that "maybe a part of him was realizing as the movie was being made that a live-action version of The Cat in the Hat just wasn't a great idea." Ebert compared the film unfavorably to How the Grinch Stole Christmas: "If there is one thing I've learned from these two movies, it's that we don't want to see Jim Carrey as a Grinch, and we don't want to see Mike Myers as a cat. These are talented comedians, let's see them do their stuff, don't bury them under a ton of technology." The film holds the 10% on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus reading "Filled with double entendres and potty humor, this Cat falls flat." Audrey Geisel, Suess' widow, decided not to allow any live action adaptations of her late husband's work, ending Myers' plans for a sequel. Epikvik (talk) 03:29, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is The Snowman being considered? No reply (see above)
Just wondering if there is movement here? This movie is building momentum on being one of the worst movies ever made. It was
also on the podcast HDTYM if that helps. Also lots of article discussing it. 142.161.77.32 (talk) 05:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Marmaduke (2022)
This computer-animated comedy film was universally panned by critics at its May 2022 release. It has a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One critic said “Marmaduke is a steaming pile of poop. If you step into this movie, you’d need a stick to scrape squished Marmaduke from the treads of your shoes. As the saying goes, you can’t polish a turd - but it doesn’t seem like anyone here ever tried,”
