Writer of Battlefield Earth Apologizes for Movie

The movie Battlefield Earth, based on the novel by science fiction writer/cult leader L. Ron Hubbard, received the Razzie for "Worst Movie of the Decade". J.D. Shapiro, author of the screenplay, has published a formal apology in The New York Post:
Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see "Battlefield Earth."

It wasn't as I intended -- promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn't really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those.
I've never seen the movie, but I did read about half of the book about ten years ago. I had heard that it was a bad movie -- but "worst movie of the decade"? Now I've got to see it. Anyone can make a bad movie. But it takes special genius to make a movie so terrible that it takes people's breath away.

What, in your opinion, is the one movie that is so bad that it's worth seeing?
