I ran across a film the other day that lists the "50 Worst Movies". Of course, such a list depends on who you ask. But, still, it's interesting. I mostly watch the bad SF movies, not the Black-exploitation King-Fu movies or bad dramas. Happy to say that I've seen almost all the SF flics on this list. The film did them in reverse order, beginning with #50 and working down to #1. But I copied the list and decided to start with the worst and work up to better ones. So to speak.
50 is simply too small a number. We could easily come up with 200, I'm sure. And some of these aren't all that bad. Again, it all depends on taste. I've only ever walked out of 2 movies in my life: John Huston's "The Bible" and "My Dinner with Andre". Andre was loved by most critic's, but I was bored to the point of irritation. I enjoyed "Hillbillies in a Haunted House" ten times more than I did Andre. But that's just me. Anyway, for your amusement, here's the list (and some comments). And if you want to see any of the movies, trailers or the 50-worst movie, most everything is available for free on YouTube.
