Razzie Winning Movies

The Golden Raspberry (Razzies®) awards are the brainchild of John J.B. Wilson. The Razzies® celebrate the worst that Hollywood has to offer for a given year. Wilson started the Razzies® back in 1980, and they have grown into a yearly fun event…..unless of course you are one of the nominees or the winners.  The Razzies® follow in the tradition of the Medved brother’s Golden Turkey Awards and the Harvard Lampoon “Movie Worst” Awards.

This page looks at the winners or should I say loser of the Worst Picture of the year.  All the Razzie® Winning Movies are listed in the following table.  The table ranks 37 Razzie Winning Movies movies from Best to Worst in five different sortable columns of information.

Things I Find Interesting About The Razzie Winning Movies

1. Sandra Bullock actually proved what a good sport she was by picking up her Razzie® for All About Steve the night before she won her Oscar® for The Blindside. Halle Berry also picked up her Razzie® and gave a very funny acceptance speech.

2. Internet Movie Database (IMDb) actually lists Razzie® wins and nominations under the awards section for each actor and actress on their website.

3. Adam Sandler has been nominated for 20 Razzie® nominations over the years.  He has won 5 Razzies®.

4. Sylvester Stallone has received 28 Razzie® nominations. Stallone has won 8 Razzies® in his career…..he also won Worst Actor of the decade and Worst Actor of the century Razzies®. One of his Razzies® was shared with James Cameron for their writing on Rambo: First Blood Part 2.

5. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were married from 1987 to 2000. During that time frame they managed to star in 4 movies that won Razzies® for Worst movie(Hudson Hawk, Striptease, Color of Night and Indecent Proposal). They also managed to make 5 other movies that were nominated for Worst movie(North, Nothing But Trouble, Bonfire of the Vanities, The Scarlett Letter and Armageddon). Being a big Bruce Willis fan…..it actually hurt to type this possibly interesting fact.

6. Another great source for really bad movies are the books written by Michael Medved and his brother Harry Medved. Those books look at many movies made before 1980 and are called The Fifty Worst Movies of All Time, The Golden Turkey Awards, and The Son of the Golden Turkey Awards.

  1. HELLO – GOOD PAGE. I LIKED COCKTAIL WITH TOM CRUISE. I DID NOT KNOW OF THIS RAZZLE PRIZE. I THINK I HEARD OF ONE CALLED HASTY PUDDING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER MOVIE PAGE COGERSON……LOOKING FOR MORE.

    1. Hey BERN1960….yep the Razzies have been around awhile….this is the first year they have been announced so far away from the Oscar show….it will be interesting to see if it even gets noticed this year. Thanks for the votes and the compliment.

  2. Striptease, Indecent Proposal and Showgirls. Three movies that were a waste of time to create and watch, but I kept thinking the next scene might be a bit better. It never happened. Ever.

    1. Hey Sunshine625….you are so correct about the three movies you mentioned. Showgirls is bad at the beginning and just gets worse as the movie goes, while Burt Reynolds is brutal in Striptease….if I remember Demi Moore earned a huge payday for that clunker. As for Indecent Proposal I would rate it the best of the three…but that is not really saying much….thanks for the comment.

  3. Hey Bruce I’m not saying they’re not bad movies but bad movies can be very enjoyable if taken in the right spirit.

    I used to read the Marvel comic Howard the Duck so i was prepared for the movie and enjoyed it, bought it on DVD quite recently. It was cut in the UK would you believe.

    Battlefield Earth is so awful it’s amazing they didn’t realise it while they were filming it! The dialogue is horrendous. I like the visual aspects of the film. The cameraman decided every shot should be at a slight angle for whatever reason. It’s hilariously bad and I watch it every few years.

    1. Hey Steve…I see your point….hearing you talk about Battlefield Earth makes me more curious to finally see it. As for Howard the Duck ….it has been so long since I have seen it, I had forgotten Tim Robbins was even in the movie. I thought the Color of Night was a pretty good who done it….and I did not catch the big twist the first time I saw it…once again I am trying to defend a bad Bruce Willis movie…lol.

      Hey seven hours is not too bad….lol. Thanks for your input.

  4. I’ve only seen a few of those – but I have to say Howard The Duck should be on there! Lol. I did see that one…oh wow! Looks like I can be happy I didn’t spend my bucks on some of those huh?

  5. I have only seen three films: Star Trek V; Cocktail and Indecent Proposal.

    I am pretty sure that my total will stay at three. I can see me watching Star Trek V at least once a year, but it is bad in a funny way. I just like the characters.

    I’m not a Tom Cruise fan anymore, so I won’t be watching Cocktail anymore either.

    And I agree with Steve-it’s a great gesture to pick up your Razzie.

    1. Hey FBR…three is not bad especially considering your rule about not watching movies after you were born. I think the only one I would half way recommend would be Hudson Hawk…..as bad as it was….you have to give Willis credit for coming up with the idea of Da Vinci hiding secrets in his work…and how modern day people are searching for the clues….can you say The Da Vinci Code….I know I am being a Willis apologist…lol.
