As "inept" films go, I Accidentally Domed Your Son was tougher to sit through than any piece of shit I've ever seen.

I've seen a lot of mediocrities, but as for truly wretchedly horrible films, I stop watching as soon as I can see that is the case, usually within 15-20 minutes.
The film that came to mind when I let my mind scan back was something called The Story of Us, I think. I endured this film because my wife's friend thought it would somehow help us get through a bad patch in our marriage. We got through it, but this film cannot claim a shred of credit for that.

Honestly if The Dark Knight or Magnolia or The Avengers or The Player or any of those is anything even close to honestly "the worst film you ever saw," even going by H'wood studio standards, you have led a charmed fuckin' life.

Like in a year where the studios released shitty horror movie after shitty horror movie, plus an attempt to make Tyler Perry of all people into an action hero, plus another shitty Gerard Butler romcom, and a shitty version of The Lorax. . . You're gonna go with the Batman movie? GTFO.
Prometheus was not by a long shot the worst movie I ever saw, but it may have been the biggest letdown.
― Gollum: "Hot, Ready and Smeagol!" (Phil D.), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 23:31 (eleven years ago) link
It's pretty easy. The Lorax and the rest are easy targets. A far worse aesthetic failure is an ambitious movie made with intelligence and craft in which everything goes wrong.

Anthony Newley's 1969 Fellini-pastiche musical, "Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?", is actually even more excruciating to watch than the title would suggest--against my better judgment, I saw it several years ago with a Media Studies friend who was a little too open to camp esoterica. Harlan Veidt's 1940 anti-Semitic melodrama, "Jud Süß," which I saw in the context of a course on German film history, is competently constructed from a formal point of view, but completely sickening ethically and politically.

Couldn't even begin to figure out the true right answer. But when I thought about the question in terms of the worst movie I ever saw where I went in hoping for something good, Gangs of New York came to mind before anything else. I truly hated that, and the bits and parts I'll come across on TV haven't aged any better.
