My brother's birthday is coming up. What's a terrible movie that I can give him?

[Patriqvium]

Anything mentioned at the Something Awful Movie Reviews is abysmally horrible and should make your brother happy. Problem is, most of these Z-grade masterpieces are really hard to find.

For something non-horror (at least by genre definition) try Nukie, worth minus fifty points at SA and 1.6 stars at IMDB.

[Dis]

nukie. I just sounds good.

Jean claude van dam had a bad one (well many actually) called Cyborg.

And there's always the Postman.

[rah]

Postman.
I was going to suggest that one but you beat me to it.
Waterworld is another.

My older brother likes to give us gag DVDs for Christmas and he usually suceeds but a couple of years ago he got me "I'm Gonna Get You SUCKA" which looked like an awful movie but in reality was very entertaining.

[OzzyKP]

I definitely recommend "Dude Where's my Car"

Worst movie ever.

[OzzyKP]

I liked the Postman.

Even Waterworld wasn't that bad.

[MosesPresley]

Loinburger, are you looking for a good cheezy movie or a movie that's so unintentionally bad that it makes you cringe?

[rah]

Yes, Ozzy, it depends on what your expectation levels were. I expected both movies to SUCK, so yes, they weren't THAT bad.

The latter. That's the problem with sci-fi -- too often, it falls within the first category instead of the second. And pretty much all drama falls within the first category, especially if it's got a bunch of people talking in posh british accents.

F'rinstance, as awful as it was, Waterworld still had the Blue Velvet guy in it, which moves it from the "awful" category to the "awfully cheesy" category. In contrast, Battlefield Earth had no redeeming features, so it's firmly in the "awful" category.

The original Willard was a terrible movie, but its followup, Ben, might be ideal. It starred the smartest rat from the first movie. That was bad enough, but the coup de grace was the theme song. It was Michael Jackson singing a love song to the rat.

Its only available on VHS.

Unintentionally funny movie and cheezy, no pun intended, beyond belief. Ben might fit the bill.

The original Willard had Ernest Borgnine get eaten by rats, that is worth the price of admission alone.

Which reminds me.

Has anyone ever seen The Devil's Rain. This movie had an all star cast. John Travolta in a very small early role. William Shatner gets possessed by the devil. Ernest Borgnine is Satan. Tom Skerritt and Eddie Albert are in it too. This movie is supposed to be frightening, but misses the mark by a mile.

The devil has a coven in a small western town and he's looking for souls as per usual. He decides he wants William Shatner's soul.

The final scene is awesome mishap of crazed makeup special effects.

Saw it at the movie theatre when it was first out. The movie sucked, but Borgnine was good.

"Wild Things" was really bad, but I imagine he's seen it.
"The Professional: Golgo 13." Worst anime I have ever seen.
"Street Fighter."
There's actually a recently-released, straight-to-video "Chupacabras" movie, based on the tabloid legend of the Mexican Goatsucker. I haven't seen it but I don't think it's physically possible for a movie with that subject to be good.
"Plan 9 from Outer Space" is of course the granddaddy of all badness, but that's probably too obvious.
"Left Behind" the movie.
This obscure movie called "Drinking Games" my brother's ex rented once. She spent the whole evening saying, "hey, it looked good in the store..."
"Johnny Mnemonic." I couldn't even watch it all. What a crap attempt at tech noir.

That's about all off the top of my head.

[Ramo]

any MST3k DVD. It will have the original movie and the MSTied version.

Of them, Manos, Hands of Fate is the greatest.

[Dis]

wild things was pretty cool. well the plot sucked. but there were other redeeming factors

[Imran Siddiqui]

Screw that! Wild Things had a really fun plot!

It even has a good rating at rottentomatoes.com

I didn't care for the plot twist at the end.
