2. I hope so, or "Manos..." might be fatal to watch.

5. Quite a few of those are available as MST3K episodes.
And the worst movies always make for the best jokes.

Also, that list is woefully incomplete without The Giant Spider Invasion.

6. Also
The Fan (1996).

I was really looking forward to watching it as a fan of baseball, DeNiro and Snipes, but Phoef Sutton apparently thought, "I don't know shit about baseball, so I'll write a screenplay that's sort of about it, but not really," and Tony Scott must've learned directing from films starring Keanu Reeves, Val Kilmer or Jean-Claude Van Damme.

(I see Scott is producing-directing a remake of "The Taking of Pelham 123," for which he'll probably have to be put out of our misery.)

9. There's a trend in that list
Number of movies in the 100 worst list by decade (conveniently the percent of total for the whole list too):

1950s: 2
1960s: 6
1970s: 4
1980s: 10
1990s: 28
2000s: 50

That looks like exponential growth to me.

10. I have seen several of them, and...
don't quite agree with this list.

Where's "Robot Monster" or "Angry Red Planet"?

And, although I have to run and hide after saying it, "Glitter" had its moments.

17. Santa Claus vs. The Martians didn't even make the list!
:shrug:

I tried watching "Epic Movie" a few months ago, but couldn't finish. How funny that there are supposedly legit Hollywood films on that list! :rofl:

take your word for it that it sucks big time.

31. I was ready to jump all over you for that..

Then I realised I was thinking of Gods and MONSTERS (with Ian McKellen and Brendan Frasier)

18. That is horrible...but don't discount "The Horror of Party Beach"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058208/

I have seen "Horror"...and it's horrible beyond description. Complete with an African-American character named Eulabelle in full Aunt Jemima mode.

soda bottles at the screen by the end of the movie when I saw it.

34. "Laserblast" is the only movie where I ever asked for my money back...
generally, my philosophy for movies is "ya pays your money, ya takes your chances", but "Laserblast"...uh...
I guess, the theater manager, despite my being a teenage stoner at the time, believed my genuine dismay at its utter rottenness. He actually gave me my money back :)

23. I think that was the Second. And it was crazy bad. We cut out of work early to see it on
opening day and left it feeling entitled to a share in some classic action law suit for wasting my time and money.

so I covered my head and ran out.

35. Yeah, that one really sucked. Dunno why, but reminds me of...
"The Bride."

Woman of my acquaintance dragged me to that because of her crush on Sting, but to this day regrets it.
