Movies that are worse than the prequels? Is it possible?

We all know the prequels suck, but is it possible that there are movies out there that are even worse? A friend of mine who saw "Van Helsing" came out and said that it was really bad. I asked how bad and she said "It makes the new Star Wars movies look good by comparison."

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

Oh there are certainly worse films than the PT, Deep Blue Sea comes to mind. I abolutely HATE that friggin' movie! I don't think I've ever watched a film where I WANTED every single character to die. Deep Blue Sea is one of the worst films ever made. ARRRGH just thinking about that movie is giving me a headache...

Titanic makes me cry. And not in the sad movie way. In the "Oh good gravy...why?" way.
I saw some of It's a Wonderful Life tonight, about 2 hours worth. Changing channels with Sound of Music (genuine highlights, 30 minutes cumulative, during commercials) and, meh, 7 minutes of Home alone (on two, sequential channels, about 4 seconds off!)
but the Jimmy Stewart film was great. So nice that Potter doesn't get another chance at the building and loan, you know like in an awful, disappointing sequel.

Yeah, there are worse films. You tend to forget the bad ones but there are movies that, (like the PT), are so utterly worthless that they provoke so much contempt and hatred you simply cannot forget them. Especially if it's from a genre you usually enjoy. One particularly nauseating movie that belongs in this category is:
Dungeons & Dragons
Has anyone seen it? It's like a cheap theme park version of a fantasy film. The horrors of this film must be seen to be believed. Must have been incredibly embarrasing for Jeremy Irons who is usually great.
another great example and franchise killer is:
Batman & Robin
I don't even wanna discuss this one. I trust that Nolan and Bale will remedy the situation with Batman Begins this summer.

Let me be more specific:
Every film directed by Micheal Bey, almost every film directed by Jess Franco (almost 200 films right there), almost every film directed by Joe D'Amato (another 100 or so), every Blondie film from the 1930s, every Charlie Chan film from the same time period. Almost every Western in the 30s through the 50s that was ground out to run as a second feature, almost every Shaw Brothers kung fu film from the 1970s (hundreds and hundreds of films), about half of Roger Corman's output, all the disaster films that followed Poseidon Adventure and Towering Inferno, nearly all the films from the 30s intended for segregated all-black audiences (sorry, but its true), most Hong Kong films prior to its 80s renaissance, most films from Mexico, Bollywood, and other burgeoning film meccas (the everyday studio-ground-out movies, not the art films they export). And finally, about at least half of the soulless American summer blockbusters that apply Lucas's joyless principles far more efficently than Lucas himself ever could.
And, no, Titanic (a film that is obviously a deep labor of love by a genuinely gifted filmmaker) is not among this drekpile.

Ghost Ship gets my vote as a film worse than the PT!
Flying Ferret
Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.
