Found a direct to video release called this. Here is their list (by
year, not by how bad they rate the films).

The Ape (1940)
Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)
Glen or Glenda (1953)
Robot Monster (1953)
Mesa of Lost Women (1953)
Killers from Space (1954)
Bride of the Monster (1955)
Snow White-German Version (1955)
Voodoo Woman (1957)
The Wild Women of Wongo (195
Robot Verses The Aztec Mummy (195
Teenage Zombies (1959)
The Killer Shrews (1959)
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961)
Eegah (1962)
The Three Stooges in Orbit (1962)
They Saved Hitler's Brain (1963) (TV)
The Crawling Hand (1963)
The Creeping Terror (1964)
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up
Zombies!!? (1964)
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)
Frankenstein Conquers The World (1965)
Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster (1965)
The Fat Spy (1966)
Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967)
Spider Baby, or The Maddest Story Ever Told (196
Greetings (196
Trog (1970)
Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
The Thing with Two Heads (1972)
Black Belt Jones (1974)
The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974)
The Trial of Billy Jack (1974)
T.N.T. Jackson (1975)
The Incredible Torture Show (1976)
J.D.'s Revenge (1976)
The Incredible Melting Man (1977)
The Crippled Master (1979)
The Great Alligator (1979)
Xanadu (1980)
Great White (1981)
Firebird 2015 AD (1981)
Galaxy of Terror (1981)
Sorceress (1982)
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983)
Troll (1986)
Howard the Duck (1986)
Ishtar (1987)
Leonard Part 6 (1987)

While most of these films belong on this list (sorry, I love Galaxy
Of Terror, no way a "worst film"), I found it odd what films were NOT
on the list. Truly horrid films like Manos: The Hands Of Fate, The
Giant Spider Invasion, Son Of Godzilla, King Kong 1976, Eyes Wide Shut,
Star Trek V, Trancers 5, Alien 3, Battlefield Earth etc.... were not.
How?

What films listed above do you feel should NOT be on the list (if
any) and what films NOT on the list should be there?

HUH?

Olivia and Gene were superb. The rest of the story was nonsense but
those two made up for it.

The absolute worst film ever made is a nasty little piece of schlock called
"Forbidden Zone"; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080752/

Well deserving of it's place IMO. 90-odd minutes of my life I'm never
getting back.

And -_- , the "50WF" *still* uses the mainstream-dope argument of
"Huh?--Whadda heck was THAT story all about?", despite the fact that the
plot is neatly spelled out in crayon in what even fans will admit is the
corniest line in the movie...
(Well, glad someone's having fun.)

No worst film list is complete without Bo Derek's "Tarzan the Ape Man"
disaster. Although I guess an argument could be made that it gets a pass
for the nudity.

Per :

I'd nominate GodFather III as a slam-dunk for the "worst" list - especially in
light of how good I and II were.

You know you have a classic when the wardrobe for martians includes football
helmets with pipe cleaners for antenna.

What was the name of that wonderful film with a scene that had a brain
suspended by visible wires attempting to attack a scientist who bats at it
with a stick?
