There is an inherent paradox in asking people to list the bad films that
they have seen. If its been released then at least one person must have
thought that it was good enough to make money.

The ultimate bad film will be shown once in a viewing room for the producer,
director and film editor. They will then go back and burn all of its copies 
in order to save their careers.

If you must search for this ultimate disaster then quite looking in the movie
houses. If a film makes it there then its too late. Look instead for the films
that are shot and never heard from again.

Several years ago, a film crew came to Corvallis,Or for a few weeks. They were
shooting a made for TV movie called "Pigs vs Freaks". It was the story of a 
small town in the 1960's that had increasing problems between the local police
and hippies. They decided to solve them with a football game. The film crew 
left and this film was never heard from again. 

I cant say whether or not this is the Ultimate Bad film but.....
