While moviegoers often flock to bad movies in large numbers, professional film critics will tend to pile condemnation on those same films.
To find out which movies film critics have been collectively hated the most, we turned to the reviews aggregator Metacritic to compile this list of the most critically panned movies in history.
From ill-advised sequels like "Scary Movie 5" and "Caddyshack II," to two dubious political documentaries by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, these films drew the ire of critics and provoked the repulsion of many.
Most recently, last year's critically panned "Haunting of Sharon Tate," starring Hilary Duff, made the list.
Here are the 75 worst movies of all time, according to critics:
Note: Only movieswith seven or more online reviews appear in theranking, so it skews toward more recent films.

74. "Glitter" (2001)
Critic score:14/100
User score:3.4/10
What critics said:"A butt-numbing exercise in tedium, sporadically redeemed by moments of unintentional hilarity." TV Guide

71. "The In Crowd" (2000)
Critic score:14/100
User score:2.3/10
What critics said:"Isn't a movie, it's Gorgonzola, a crumbly summertime stinker veined with pop-cultural fungus." Entertainment Weekly
70. "Cabin Fever" (2016)
Critic score:14/100
User score:2.6/10
What critics said:"It doesn't help that what passes for acting here seems more like a table read." Los Angeles Times
69. "Bolero" (1984)
Critic score: 13/100
User score: N/A
What critics said: "Erotic, surely, only for the very easily pleased, with Dereks J and B and Cannon Films converging to form a matrix of sustained, tawdry silliness." Time Out
68. "Love, Wedding, Marriage" (2011)
Critic score:13/100
User score:3.1/10
What critics said:"Only old pros James Brolin and Jane Seymour, as Eva's colorfully squabbling parents, occasionally rouse the film beyond its fate as fodder for a Snuggie-wrapped slumber." Time Out
67. "Daddy Day Camp" (2007)
Critic score:13/100
User score:1.8/10
What critics said:"Filling in for Eddie Murphy in a septically humored kiddie sequel to 'Daddy Day Care,' Gooding gives a mug-job performance that consists mainly of reacting (again and again) to nasty smells." Entertainment Weekly
66. "Fascination" (2005)
Critic score:13/100
User score:N/A
What critics said:"Glacially paced, self-consciously acted and narratively risible." Variety
65. "Fair Game" (1995)
Critic score:13/100
User score:N/A
What critics said:"A thriller primarily about the movement of Cindy Crawford's breasts beneath a succession of ever-smaller T-shirts." Entertainment Weekly
64. "Freddy Got Fingered" (2001)
Critic score:13/100
User score:5.6/10
What critics said:"The movie is simply not professional. It's not, even by the lowest standards of Republic B-westerns in the '30s or bad, cheap horror films in the '50s, releasable." The Washington Post
63. "A Beautiful Life" (2009)
Critic score:13/100
User score:1.7/10
What critics said:"This laughably clichd dive into sexual masochism and hardscrabble survival replaces story with outline and characters with place holders."The New York Times
62. "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" (2015)
Critic score:13/100
User score:2.4/10
What critics said:"While the original was no classic, it had a few mild laughs and the plus-sized actor displayed a certain buffoonish charm. Such is not the case with this painfully unfunny, slapdash follow-up in which the title character is so relentlessly obnoxious that you'll be cheering for the villains."The Hollywood Reporter
61. "Down to You" (2000)
Critic score:13/100
User score:6.4/10
What critics said:"The confusion it mistakes for true soul-searching is about as realistic a look at the politics of youthful attraction as one of those 'Did somebody say McDonald's?' commercials is a look at mainstream American family values. Did somebody say McCheese?"Austin Chronicle
60. "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" (1988)
Critic score:13/100
User score:N/A
What critics said:"Only a mote of humor graces the film, and that is Jason's cunning ability to come up with ever more dreadful weapons for each successive crime, graduating from stake to machete to circular saw. Dare we hope, in Part VIII, for a neutron bomb to obliterate the series altogether?"Chicago Tribune
59. "New Best Friend" (2002)
Critic score:13/100
User score:4.8/10
What critics said:"A lurid, unsavory mix of 'Reefer Madness' hysteria, drive-in sleaze, and the queasy morality of '80s slasher film."The AV Club
58. "Cannonball Run II" (1984)
Critic score:13/100
User score:N/A
What critics said:"Burt Reynolds and a host of notable performers seem to be having a hell of a good time wandering through this meandering, episodic farce, but rarely is their good mood shared by the viewer."TV Guide
57. "Nothing But Trouble" (1991)
Critic score: 13/100
User score: N/A
What critics said: "Unfortunately this isn't even half as fun as the shortest bumper-car ride, with the cast lost in a sea of unfunny situations and badly executed antique jokes on loan from The Munsters all obviously puzzled about why they are actually there." Empire
56. "The Avengers" (1998)
Critic score:12/100
User score:2.5/10
What critics said:"It's a film to gall fans of the old television series and perplex anyone else."The New York Times
55. "Nothing Left to Fear" (2013)
Critic score:12/100
User score:3.5/10
What critics said:"It's stale B-movie rubbish of a barely watchable sort, albeit slightly more depressing than many of its genre compatriots."The Dissolve
54. "Strange Wilderness" (2008)
Critic score:12/100
User score:5.1/10
What critics said:"Aside from the waste of a talented cast, the only thing that really caught my attention was the tomblike silence of the audience--at least until the bong jokes started."Chicago Reader
