It's "Shaun of the Dead", although that's only the least wrong thing you said in that entire post.

There are actually only two movies I have not actually bothered to watch all the way through. They are Anchorman and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
That's right, I went there.

The Life Aquatic is a pretty dreadful movie. It seems that Wes Anderson made
Rushmore in a different dimension as it doesn't suffer from the same blank-faced navel-gazing direction that killed both
The Life Aquatic and
The Royal Tenenbaums, though the latter I managed to be not totally bored by.

Must be Wes Anderson's latest!

Both State Property movies were completely awful, but State property 1 was one of those films that was so bad it was laughable. SP 2 on the other hand took itself way too seriously to be funny, and featured Mariah Carey. Easily the worst film I've ever seen.
The worst film I've ever paid money to see was The DaVinci Code - as terrible as the book was the film sucked what little it was that made it worth reading right out of it.
If Shaun of the Dead was the worst movie you've ever seen you need to take more risks in life.

Ah, yes. I wondered when the torture porn genre would be represented in this thread. I've never seen the Hostel movies fully so I wouldn't damn them myself but jesus christ, are they terrible. Anyone who actually enjoys these kind of movies really is a sadomasochist at heart and is probably leaning towards the pet-murdering tendencies of early serial killers.

Boy in a Bubble ....omfg I was squirming on the couch after the first 10 minutes because of how utterly not funny it was and how hard they were trying to be funny.

That sounds a lot like (

You should only watch that movie if you really like to groan at puns and jokes that could have been funny if executed correctly, jokes and puns that would never have been fun and a really stupid and poorly executed plot combined with extremely bad acting.

Personally, I'd put La Grande Bleu (The Deep Blue) on the list. It's got some nice images, but the script is puerile macho drivel and the acting is pretty bad too.
Thing is, for a film to be "worst movie ever" in my books, it would have to be a failure in every respect. I think that the Star Wars prequels are pretty dire, yet there's a lot of craft evident in all of them. And I refuse to call a movie "worst ever" just because I didn't like it. There are some very well crafted films out there that didn't do a thing for me, and that doesn't make them bad - for instance, most of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire annoyed me, but that doesn't make it a horribly bad film.

It's Le Grand Bleu. /nitpick ;)
I'd like to second Ultraviolet as one of the worst I've ever seen. Seriously, that kinda shit should be outlawed.

I nominate "Shawn of the Dead", I know a lot of people love this move for some reason, but I could bearly stand watching it all the way through. It's just dumb, not funny, not scary, it's not anything, and that scene where that main character cries for his father is unberable with lameness (wtf is this movie supposed to be?). By the end I just wanted them all to be eaten by zombies, as quickly as possible.
It's a brilliant comedy and if you don't realise what the movie is trying to be, the fault is at your side :p
