50 movies you should avoid until you die.



50 Worst Movies Ever
Maxim magazine over in the states recently featured an article in which they listed their 50 worst movies ever. And as always you will agree with some and disagree on others.

3. I have to disagree with #10
Any movie where Ozzy saves the world by biting the head off of a bat can't be all bad. :headbang:

5. House of the Dead
I bought it used and took it back the next day and demanded my money back, got store credit. What a POS. Wasted the talents of Jurgen Prochnow and Clint Howard.


Worst. Movie. Ever.

6. I have a confession to make...
Ignoring the fact that I think a few of those movies are pretty good (i.e. this Southern bashin' Yankee has an inxpliciable fondness for 'Steel Magnolias')...

I've seen the movie 'Cocktail' multiple times and I liked it. I know it's truly bad, but I really like it.

7. LOL! (hey, I actually like some of those)

9. When Harry Got Mail in Seattle

I saw 'lost in seattle' recently - it came on in a hotel - and I spent the first several minutes trying to figure out if it was harry met sally or sleepless in seattle.

And I concur -- pretty horrid. Though the Clevelander in me will always have a soft spot for that totally miguided piece of shit "Howard the Duck."

14. Annie ('82) deserves a place on that list
Dune, not so much. Mainly, it was a victim of studio suit's surgery.
