My friends and I love movies, probably too much. In fact, a good majority of our conversations will, at some point, come back to movies, or movie references, or something like that. So, as you can imagine, when we found this, it was really exciting.
TV and movie blog Videogum recently launched a series entitled "The Hunt For the Worst Movie of All Time." Each week, one of their editors will watch a movie and tear it apart, showcasing the most ridiculous clips for the world to see.
However, what makes their bit interesting is that instead of simply picking movies like Battlefield Earth, Baby Geniuses, or Gigli, they also take on movies that aren't universally-considered awful, like Best Picture-winner Crash (which, I agree is unbelievably overrated/not that great, but worst movie EVER seems like a stretch).
I think right now, my pick for the worst movie that they've done would have to be The Number 23 or Dreamcatcher, but that's just me.
Note: the movies advertised in the Lohan/Simpson posters are technically disqualified, as Lindsay's flick isn't out yet, and Jessica's went straight to video. I just found them hilarious.
In order to keep this organized, Videogum did set up some ground rules:
*It cannot be intentionally horrible. *It must have at least one A or B-list movie star in it (no "outsider art.") *It cannot be Glitter. *It has to have had a theatrical release.
I also happen to think the remake of The Wicker Man should be disqualified, simply because this montage makes it overqualified:
With these in mind, Mancouchers and Mancouchettes, what would you say is the worst movie of all time?
