10 Worst Films of all-time

There are hundreds of movies released every year into the American Movie Market including but not limited to: Hollywood Classics: Drama, Comedy, B Movies, Musicals, Animation, and Film Noir. There are Foreign Films: French, Italian, Japanese, and other Foreign Language films. There are films from the British Isles and Commonwealth including Shakespeare Films, and Opera. There is a mix of Contemporary film, Science Fiction, Films based on Comic Book Characters, Comedy, Thrillers, Action, Horror, Teen Films, Nonfiction Films, Biographies, Experimental Films, Dance Films, Adult films, and  Documentaries.

Movies are really a matter of personal taste and interest, so most of the films released each year appeal to a finite audience.

Some of the films released to a general audience become Blockbuster’s and the films make millions of dollars in profit, while making their creators and featured actors popular cultural icons and international celebrities.

I'm sure you will agree that most movies suck.

I watch 400 movies every year, of which 300 are on Television, i.e. Video Tape, DVD, Pay-Per-View, Cable Premium Channels, Made for T.V. features, TCM, TBS, AMC, TNT, USA, WGN, Local stations, and Rentals.  The other 100 are seen in the Movie Theatre, i.e. Megaplex, or Cineplex with multiple screens as they are now known.

I have compiled a list of the 10 Top Stinkers of all time.  My criteria was to find the 10 Worst Movies ever made that were produced by experienced filmmakers, with savvy directors, seasoned and experienced actors, and with adequate production and advertising budgets.

The List

1)     Battlefield Earth (2000)

2)     Caligula (1980)

3)     The "Friday The 13th" Series (1980-1993)

4)     Ishtar (1987)

5)     The "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" Series (1974-1997)

6)     Dune (1984)

7)     A Nightmare On Elm Street (The entire series of 7 movies)

8)     The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Journey To the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1957)

9)     Barbarella (1968)

10)      Farenheit 9/11 (2004)

Michael Moore is high in cholesterol, and low in truth. He is the master of lies, hateful deception; shameful cowardice; dishonest methods; highly selective editing; half-baked fantasies; and his film Fahrenheit 9/11 is so flat-out phony that "fact-checking" is beside the point.

To describe his film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that
would never again rise above the excremental. The film is a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery, and Moore is little more than a" money grubbing" Political Pornographer.

If you enjoy being lied to about the cause of 9/11. Lied to about the truth of Islamic fascism. Lied to about how best to make America safe, then Fahrenheit 9/11 is the movie for you.
