The 4th Stinkers Bad Movie Awards were released by the Hastings Bad Cinema Society in 1982 to honour the worst films the film industry had to offer in 1981. The ballot was later revisited and the expanded version was released in 2007, some time between the 2006 ballot and the closure of the site. Listed as follows are the original ballot's picks for Worst Picture and its dishonourable mentions, which are films that were considered for Worst Picture but ultimately failed to make the final ballot (29 total), and all nominees included in the expanded ballot. All winners are highlighted.
