In a class I took last semester, the prof made us watch this old black and white movie called "The Manchurian Candidate". He broke it up into segments so that it took a few classes to get through it.
I usually did one of the following during the movie:
-sleep
-photo editing on my laptop
When it came time for the discussion, I simply pulled up a synopsis on IMDB.com, answered a question based on what I read there, and got my full participation points.
That movie has been remade a few times, I haven't actually seen any of them, but how do you know it was stupid if you didn't watch it? And at least you had the opportunity to watch the whole movie. My 10th grade Literature teacher was showing us the black and white version of Lord of the Flies when we were reading the book, and would always rewind it to the beginning before starting it so we only ever ever saw the first half, about 20 times... Class would end right after Piggy got smashed by a rock.

Hands down:
The Pokemon Movie. I took my son to see it years ago and it seemed like the first 15 minutes of it was nothing but dancing Poke-creatures. I felt like I was watching a screen-saver.
Runners-up:
- "Night of the Lepus" (killer bunny rabbits]
- Monty Python's 'Holy Grail' (the launching-cows scene was pretty funny, though - I giggled slightly)
- Dumb and Dumberer
- All the 'Scary Movie' movies and subsequent spin-offs, including 'Epic Movie'
- Anything by Pixar, but especially the surfing penguin movie
- Cartoons of any sort
- 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' (I think that's the title)
- Any romance movies
- 'Team America'
- 'Legally Blonde'
- Anything with Sandra Bullock in it
There are more, but the list is too freakin' l-o-n-g....
Surf's Up was not a Pixar movie. And Team America was worth watching solely for the monologue about p*****s, Dicks, and Asses.
