So I had to sit through the whole obscene thing...only good moment was when at a particular scene involving a flock of sheep...someone called out "No, no not the sheep...leave them alone".....which got a good laugh from the audience.

I have never come so close to punching a colleague in the head as after that travesty.

PS - this was circa 1980...prior to the internet so no real way to check it out
Caligula would be at the top of my list for being the most unwatchable movie ever. It was the most disgusting, repulsive movie I remember ever seeing. Bob Guccione (from Penthouse magazine) financed it and was largely responsible for destroying it.
