Worst good movies ever?
I'll start off by volunteering "Equilibrium". The idea of using emotion-suppressing pills to attempt to rid the world of war and suffering is a valiant one, if a bit too Vonnegut-esque to get my full endorsement(1). The gun fights were cool enough, but everything about the movie had a cheesiness(2) that was at times painful to watch. So, it's either a good bad movie, or a bad good one. I can't decide.

Notes:
1. Dammit, I forget the story. It was a short story that involved having men take a pill that makes them numb from the waist down as a form of population control.

2. Is this a word?
