“The 7 Worst Movie Pitches Ever”

Everyone knows watching a truly awful movie is a lot more fun than a pretty good one, especially if you’ve recently been smoking your K2.

So when the Tribeca Film Festival and American Express held a “My Movie Pitch” competition asking aspiring filmmakers to submit a one-minute movie pitch, we went in search of the worst of the worst — ideas that transcended simply being bad and attained a new level of terribleness.

The winner of the contest gets financing for his or her project, and the opportunity to talcum powder Jim Jarmusch’s balls, or something like that. So far, voter turnout has been pretty abysmal so the contest is still anyone’s to win.

Now, in the tradition of Votefortheworst.com, we’re asking that you pick one of these pitches for us to champion in the hope of forcing the folks at Tribeca to put its funds behind a gem like “Gesundheit” (about a world where sneezing can kill you) or “Stuff Blow Up” (what more do you need to know?).

Keep reading to see the pitches and then vote. When the votes are in, we’ll launch an Internet campaign to help your favorite terrible movie idea win the whole shebang.

The 7 worse movie pitches submitted for the Tribeca Film Festival are:
