Previous gifts I've given my brother (for such things as his college graduation, various birthdays and christmasses, and his wedding) include the DVD's of Jack Frost, Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman, Basket Case, and Pumpkinhead 2 (the original Pumpkinhead movie is much too respectable for me to give it to him as a present). However, this year I'd like to try to get him a terrible non-horror film if at all possible, but I can't think of any non-horror films that are suitably terrible. Anybody got any ideas?

Starship Troopers 2 is an excellent suggestion (he absolutely loved the book, so he almost cried at the first movie -- I can only imagine his horror upon seeing the second movie), but unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be released on DVD in time. (His birthday is on August 10th, and while historically we haven't really worried about getting presents to each other on time, we still try to get them to each other at most a couple of weeks late.)
I'll have to seriously consider Battlefield Earth. I'm worried, though, because my brother slogged through the first four books of that terrible Hubbard decology, so Battlefield Earth may not fill him with the desired level of revulsion.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

Last Seduction 2.
No Linda Fiorentino, first big mistake.
Finishing the film, second big mistake.
Hellraiser III- even worse than II, but they're filming a VI, I think, so that might be even worse.
Have you tried early seventies sci-fi, like 'Zero Population Growth' ? - Oliver Reed and bad special effects.
Or drive in movies like 2000 Maniacs?
In fact, a lot of Herschell Gordon Lewis's ah, 'oeuvre' is very cheesetastic.
"
2000 Maniacs
Dir: H.G.Lewis
Starring: Thomas Allen, Connie Mason, Jeffrey Allen, Ben Moore
Following the massive success of Blood Feast, Lewis and producer David Friedman were quick to cash in. With three times the budget, the help of the town of St. Cloud in Florida (now buried beneath Disneyworld!), and some inspiration from Brigadoon, they made probably Lewis's best film. A century after a Civil War massacre, the residents of Pleasant Valley divert six Yankees for a little fun, involving dismemberment, spiked barrels, barbecues and so on.
Although the effects now look amateur, it's a good storyline, efficiently told, and the torment before the actual violence still has surprising impact. One victim is tied beneath a teetering boulder, while locals casually hurl softballs to knock it down, and this remains grimly hypnotic. The music also anticipates O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and I remembered far too many lyrics to the catchy theme, despite it likely being a decade since last hearing it. Apart from Thomas Allen, the acting is "broad" (and that's being kind) but somehow fits the OTT carnage and fun-house attitude - if all the town's inhabitants wore evil clown make-up, it wouldn't seem out of place. "
Then there's Chesty Morgan's homage to Fellini 'Double Agent 73' or her Sergio Leone homage, 'Deadly Weapons'.
Good luck.
