The Telephone (1988)
1/10
Do not waste a single millisecond of your life on this
11 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is so bad that Whoppi sued the studio and production company after filming to stop this from being released. She (and anyone who watches it) lost that lawsuit. The film grossed less than 100K domestically in theaters.

Audiences at early showings demanded refunds and told theater managers to destroy the film.

Whoppi spends the entire movie talking on a telephone. She calls friends, family and even orders groceries. The climax is when a telephone company rep shows up to repo her phone which has been disconnected for several months. Whoppi stabs the phone repairman then calls the police and says I've been a bad girl.

I've seen Spaced Invaders, It's Pat, Howard the Duck, Battlefield Earth and other movies routinely on worst movies lists. I'd rather watch any of them on an infinite loop than spend one minute watching this.
