Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000)

Synopsis: In the future, civilization has collapsed and the planet is ruled by aliens.
Appraisal: Not much need for me to review this movie, since it has by now acquired some notoriety. The script is bad, with a lot of inexplicable character behavior and many implausible situations. It works often as a self-parody. Also, it appeared to me that the framing of the scenes was often poor, obscuring the action.
Rating: 24

I can happily say that I've never had the pleasure of watching this movie but I have heard by some that it should be put on record as the worst movie ever made. Although I believe IMDB.com's users say it is 2003's "From Justin to Kelly"

Hi Brian. It's bad, but definitely not the worst film ever made. In fact, I just upgraded 4 points. It has to be watched with an eye to (possibly involuntary) comedy; that way it is not so bad.
