Hahahaha!!!

Wayfriend I've never seen that Jerry Lewis film .. but am strangely intrigued!

aTOMiC I totally agree - point well made too .. if it's a film AND an abomination it resides here .. regardless of how good, excellent or crappy a book it originated from.

We've been treating ourselves with a different Bond movie at night - working our way progressively through them - and I have come to realise with no small surprise that the earlier movies were really not that good, poor to average acting, poor to average or in some cases pretty much non-existent story-lines .. pretty ordinary indeed. The movies (not the Bond) really puck up toward the end of Roger Moore, and continue improving from there in.

But certainly don't win the award if worst movie of all time!

Here's another: The English Patient - paint drying was more entertaining than that movie!! Bleh!

Saw The Hitman's Bodyguard the other night - that ought to be in there!

I really liked the English Patient when I first saw it. We bought it on DVD when it first came out, and I don't think we ever watched it again.

That had "unappealing" draped across the trailer, so I have not seen it.

Birdemic. Take a bow worst movie to have ever been released to a theater. Nuff said.

The Happening. Saw it in the theater. Almost walked out, but I kept thinking there had to be some twist or something that would make it worthwhile. There wasn't.

Agreed. That was truly terrible.

That's such a shame, considering the potential.

Totally ruined for the sake of..I don't even know what...a quick buck. Could have been an epic movie series if they'd been at all faithful to the story, instead of picking out about 5 elements and making up something around them.

They should have done it as a miniseries. HBO. 10-12 hours. That would have been perfect.

Right? King's epic stories can't be properly served in a 2-hour movie.

Open Water - Yeo and they made a 2 and 3 of this.

I will go to my grave knowing I totally wasted those 2 hours.
