Is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians the worst film ever made?

[WI_DEM]

I couldn't help it, I saw a copy on DVD in Half Price Books and bought it. It's bad, but campy--and if you have had a few drinks and have some friends over I think you could really have a good time watching it.

[EstimatedProphet]

1. Even better-MST3K's take on it!

Their version of Santa Claus vs. the MArtians is one of their funniest!

[skjpm]

2. Yes, the MST3K version is my Christmas treat!

It's a must see.

[AzDar]

3. Hey!! Is that the one with Pia Zadora (as a child) ?? n/t

[Archae]

4. Yup, she was one of the Martian brats.

:D

[AzDar]

6. Dear god, the green makeup... so bad, it's gooood! Enjoy!!! n/t

[Amaya]

5. I love that movie

Hope it's enjoyed by all :)

[TheMightyFavog]

7. Joe Don Baker's Mitchell was much worse than that film...

End of Line.

[NightTrain]

8. It certainly is one of them. But...

...for sheer awfulness, MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE beats everything I've ever seen!

[drhilarius]

18. Agree. But Torgo's performance was Oscar worthy.

[Eyeball Kid]

21. Ahh, the haunting Torgo theme...

Who can forget such a sublime melody?

"I watch the. House. For the Master. While. He's. Away?"

[Zuni]

26. Do not forget Torgo's knees

[NightTrain]

9. "You spell it S-A-N-T-A, C--L-A-U-S, hooray for Santy Claus!"

Oye....

[flamingyouth]

10. It's up there

A toss-up between that one, "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and "Eegah!" for the holy trinity of Really Bad Films.

[The Zanti Regent]

11. You never saw "THE APPLE"

Worst Movie of all time. Golan/Globus 1980 film with songs by George Clinton. Their film had the whole world dancing to Disco music, really bad!

[Poiuyt]

12. Plan 9 From Outer Space is considered the gold standard

though I think it has an amusing charm. Manos is so bad that it's even hard to watch on MST3K

[warrens]

13. No, it didn't have Bruce Willis or Burt Reynolds in it

I actually LOVE that movie. It's hilarious. Bad movies are ones that leave you pissed off and ripped off. I refused to see it, but Freddy Got Fingered HAS to be at or very near the top.

[MessiahRp]

14. Hmmm...

I'll go with DC 9-11 since Santa Conquers the Martians is more realistic than that sham of an account of Shrub's "courage". Bleh.

15. hahahahahaha

I just got back from the store where I bought a collection of 50 sci-fi movies and that one is on it. Man it has more cheese than Hickory Farms.

[the Princess]

16. Killer Clowns From Outerspace

That would be the worst movie ever made!

[Fleshdancer]

19. I agree with you

I was trying to remember the name of that horrible movie, but you beat me to it.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. I bought one of those Bucket-O-SciFi dvd collections

50 staggeringly bad sci-fi movies including SCCtM. Watched them all! It was easily the best movie on there.

[GRLMGC]

20. You clearly have not seen Orgy of the Dead

Ed Wood film. Man, its not even a good titty film. It basically consists of atrocious dancing by topless girls with commentary by some cheap ass looking monsters.

[shesemsmom]

22. HOW OLD IS THAT MOVIE.

did I see that when I was about 8 years old

[Throckmorton]

23. It was better than Istar

and also better than Heaven's Gate.

[mcscajun]

24. It's certainly the worst Christmas film ever made!

But I must agree with other posters..."Plan 9 from Outer Space" Is, hands down...THE worst film ever.

[Zuni]

25. No---Manos: Hands of Fate was (no joke)

Manos: Hands of Fate is not only the worst film ever shown on MST3k/ but it is quite possibly the worst film ever, I mean ever, made.
