What was the worst movie you ever saw.

[Aristus]

103. I actually found it weirdly fascinating.

I watched it on The Late, Late Movie on TV when I was in high school. Before our local Channel 13 became a Fox affiliate in the late 80’s, it was an independent Mom-and-Pop station that played classic science fiction movies on the weekends.

Perfect for a shy, reclusive kid like me.

I had read about “Zardoz” in a book about eccentric science fiction films, and tuned in to watch it when I saw it on the listing.

I thought it had some interesting things to say about immortality and the horror that it would be if it was achievable. Yes, there were some truly bizarre things about the film, like the giant head vomiting out the weaponry, or Sean Connery in the laughable outfit. I’m surprised he didn’t walk off the set the first time wardrobe showed it to him.
