My vote for worst movie ever still goes to "Manos, The Hands of 
Fate."[1] It was made by a Texas fertilizer salesman (producer, writer, 
director and star), in color, God Help Us in 1966,[2] and some how, 
some way actually got distributed. Suffice to say Hal P. Warren, the 
auteur behind Manos never really left his industry of expertise.  
Manos, for me, is a three drink movie even in the Mystery Science 
Theater 3000 version.


[1] I have not seen "Event Horizon," so it is possible that I would 
find it to be more horrendous than Manos.  However, every frame of 
Manos is crap - I find it hard to believe that somewhere in Event 
Horizon there isn't at least one frame, perhaps an establishing shot of 
some sort, free of dialogue and action, or even the first frame of the 
movie, that doesn't rise to the level of mediocre. Ihave seen Plan 9 - 
it was marginally better than Manos in my opinion, although there's 
easily room for argument.

[2] You could make a case for excluding Manos on the grounds that was 
low budget and starred nobody of note. However, despite these 
limitations, Warren succeeded in making a world class stinker.
