League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Time Machine: the Remake

Planet of the Apes: the Remake

those were just ****.

And Battlefield Earth may well have been the first modern movie to reach Ed Wood like levels of badness, a movie SO BAD that it becomes cultural kitsch.

Pluto Nash on the other hand...judging by the responses on this thread it passed beyond being bad. It was not even good at being a bad movie. I like 'Bad' movies....because there's two kinds of bad movie 1. So bad it's good 2. "Your next almbum, 'Shark Sandwich', recieved merely a two-word review, '**** Sandwich'...

All true
And I just remembered: Add "Buckeroo Bonzai"

ID4: not so bad
Wild Wild West: Not good, but I think it's going to be a cult classic in ten years.
Batman and Robin: Well, at least it had a cute Alicia Silverstone... Probably her last cute appearance before cocaine destroyed her (Okay, I was like 14. It's not my fault. Really.)
Pluto Nash: $7m WORLDWIDE gross? That's got to be a record for crapulence.

When did Silverstone get into coke? If it ain't in her wiki it can't be true.

[snoopy369]

She did a stint in Betty Ford for it, i believe Then came back, acted in a movie, then realized that she liked coke better then acting...

[Darius871]

Who hasn't been to Betty Ford?

No, the TV show was not good but became a cult classic.
The movie was just plain manure.

Hmm... Apparently i'm hallucinating the rehab stint.

/me reminds self to stop doing so much crack ...

But she made the top of the list of Jewsweek in 2001 ... after Batman and Robin ...

Apparently those Jews aren't as clever as we thought

Agreed on all except Independence day isn't a "worst 10." It's bad but not the worst. IMO Pearl Harbor is in the same boat. But agreed on the rest.

I disagree with that. I think some of his recent stuff has been top-notch, and you can't discount his Academy Award Nomination. Next he's playing a guy who went from homeless with his son to being a multimillion dollar stock executive or something, based on a true story.

I thought Eddie Murphy already made Trading Places.

I just ordered the first season of Wild Wild West on DVD. That show rocked!

My vote for the worst was Independence Day, hands down. It had done great box office, and one day after it came out on video I decided that I wanted to see stuff blown up and rented it. I felt like the audience in the first act of Springtime for Hitler. It was shockingly bad. If it weren't for my iron constitution there's a chance I might not have survived such a shock. Utterly horrific.

Being a WWW fan I went to see that one at the theatre. It sucked hard, though I never felt like my health was endangered as with Independence Day. Interestingly I saw it again on a flight to Europe a few months later and it gave me a few laughs. I suspect that part of the reason WWW sucked is that it so disappointed my expectations. I really like Brannagh and Kevin Kline, and Will Smith is ok too. So I expected something more than a $100 million for special effects and actors salaries and $100 for the script.

Yes, but REVOLTING dialogue combined with few redeeming factors (they didn't have enough ****ing Natalie Portman ) makes it a bad movie.

natalie portman is overrated. kiera knightly is superior.

I meant it as in, it's the worst movie I recall ever seeing in the theatre, and easily in the Top 10 of worst films I've watched overall.

It was so bad, it stands out for me all those years later. Maybe if I'd been 20 years younger when it premiered..

Hey! I liked Mars Attack!

Where's Gigli!??

[Provost Harrison]

What about Starship Troopers?
