It is hard for me to choose a "Worst Movie" mainly because I don't go see or watch bad movies. Sometimes one will slip through but almost always at home where I can stop watching it very easily. But, Ghost Rider was pretty god aweful, and Christmas with the Kranks was also so unbelievably awkward it was damn hard to watch.
Some of the ones listed in this thread have me shaking my head however.
Personally I loved The Postman, and though Waterworld was not a "good" movie, it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch and I actually enjoyed it more than I remembered when I recently bought and watched it.
I also recently saw The Shooter and loved every second of it. A bit far-fetched, sure, but a damn good movie just the same. Personally, I enjoy most everything with Wahlberg in it.
Gods and Generals was bit dull I'll admit, but it sure beat the hell out of watching a History Channel documentary. I expected it to be more educational than entertaining and was actually pleasantly surprised to find it kept my interest throughout. As for being too religious, I don't see that at all. Stonewall Jackson was supposed to be a religious fanatic, and so they were just making him "real". If you want to see a "religious" movie, rent Facing the Giants. Or better yet, don't.
George of the Jungle was a bit of a family favorite around my house. Even now that I am older I greatly enjoy it. I also knew how over-the-top it was going to be going into it, and I was 12. Of course, being Over-The-Top is what made it so much fun to watch.
As for Earthsea, yeah it was poor, but compared to all other Sci-Fi made for tv movies(Especially that piece of shit Highlander they just crapped out), it wasn't so bad.
Lastly, Pauly Shore. Yes his movies are almost all bordering bad, with the exception of Son-In-Law, but I still enjoyed them and found them to be, again, fun to watch. Maybe Pauly Shore isn't very funny, but sticking him in a scene makes all the other actors around him pretty funny. There are a lot of good forgettable movies, but Bio-Dome, Jury Duty, In the Army Now, and Encino man are all movies you remember. To me, that makes them too worthy to be considered "The Worst Movie(s) Ever".
Anyway, I just felt I should defend a few of the ones thrown out there that I quite enjoyed growing up.
To get a better sense of how I am calibrated when it comes to my taste in movies, my top 5 are:
Forrest Gump, Interview with the Vampire, Shawshank Redemption, Starship Troopers, and Gladiator.
Queen of the Damned. From the terrible acting, to not following the book. Hell, they couldn't even get the main character's hair color right, let alone anything else about him.
Worst movie evar I'd say something by Ed Wood, etc. like everyone does. But most overrated is a more interesting question to me. I'll go with two movies it was impossible to like unless you were born with female genitalia between your legs.
I'd have to go with Bad News Bears (the remake) or The Benchwarmers. The benchwarmers was just a horrible attempt to recreate Napolean Dynamite, which is sad considering it had the same actor. Bad News Bears just ruined the original for me with how bad it was. Now best movie i would have to say V For Vendetta ftw.
What the hell was that? I couldent watch the trailer, it was soooooo bad. The Gymkata trailer i could watch.
So this must be a winner.
You had to be from that era to appreciate it. Kristy McNichol was like the most beautiful woman in the world to a kid in those days and yes we liked musicals with beautiful melodies and choral arrangements. She was like an icon. She puts Britney Spears to shame. IMO what your missing is the innocence of that time. I mean this precedes Grunge and gangsta rap. We had love in our hearts and belief in all the best for the future. This movie in some ways reflected those hopes, dreams and beliefs for what could be.
...but as for the topic at hand, I remember when you couldn't have a worst 100 movies list without Ishtar, but I personally think Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song was THE worst movie I've ever seen, bar none.

Gods and Generals... it was like watching a prayer group, not a movie. I walked out.
Battlefield Earth is a close second.

Cat Woman. I only watched that for the sexy Halie Berry. Nothin else. That movie was terrible. It's awsome she won an award for it though.
