Great movies are few and far between. Mediocre movies are a dime a dozen. But truly bad movies—meaning the honestly unwatchable—are special. As bad movie lovers, we turned to the critics for a look at the worst movies of all time. These are the films with reviews so abysmal, it's hard to believe anyone made it through them at all.

Read on, if you dare, and find out if any of your favorite guilty pleasures made the list of total turkeys. And for our own picks of the best of the worst, discover The Worst Movie That Came Out the Year You Graduated.
