Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band is the only movie so bad that I demanded my money back after seeing it. I didn't get it, but some day I shall find a way to make the people responsible pay me back for the two hours of puzzled agony. You don't even have to like the Beatles to hate it.

But far, far worse is the cinematic debut from "Where Are They Now File" hip-hop star Master P, I'm Bout It. It may well be the most technically incompetent and creatively malnourished film to ever receive a wide release on home video, and I realize that pits it against some very strong competition. Seriously, folks, The Lion Man plays like Raging Bull compared to this.

Oh, and for the record I think Basket Case is a really good movie. Seriously.

W the Winged Serpent and The Stuff are shining examples of bad film.

Bad films? No way. Low budget, certainly, but not in the same category as most of the films mentioned in this thread. What Larry Cohen was able to do on a shoestring shows great technique. You have to see them together, so this bill is (was) a good opportunity to do so. Basically, they were made back-to-back and Michael Moriarty stars in both. In "Q" he plays a defeated, down-and-out-drunk piano player with a NY accent; in "The Stuff" he's a bold, assertive "corporate raider" with a Texas accent. Two completely contrasting characters, and they're both wearing the same suit. At a time when lwo budget filmmakers were churning out generic slasher stuff, Cohen was like 'fuck that, I'm making a winged serpent movie in NYC and also a Cronenberg-esqe gore-filled satire on consumerism."
Not crap!
