Here is my list (http://www.ymdb.com/user_worst20_view.asp?usersid=4061) and I'd be interested to see others' lists for this fairly new YMDB feature.

Strangely, the overall list contains very few trashy, low-budget movies but is mainly made up of high-grossing, popular movies. Not just frequently bashed films like Titanic and the Star Wars prequels, but films like The Matrix, Pulp Fiction, and Chicago. I'd like to believe that these people have well formed critical arguments against these films, but it's probably just a high smartass quotient.

In quoting you I removed the comma, otherwise your link does not work.:)

Except for Halloween III, I have no problem with any of them being on the list.

Both are dead links, at the moment anyway.

Well, despite its high place on my list, I do hold a special place in my heart for it (as with much of the list), particularly Styles. -smile-

I love TCM 2.
Most people don't get that it's a black comedy.
Made a few top 10 lists from some respectable critics if I remember correctly.
It's a pretty surreal film. Not for everyone.


The film I most loathe is robert wise's The sound of music.
I can faintly hear the sound of the sound of music. And It usually follows the sound of a bullet going into my head.

Well, that's good to hear. :) Beyond the top few on my worst list, I don't necessarily hate all of those movies--I generally like most movies, and it really takes something "special" to get me to really dislike any given film. The rest are just films that I saw that were really bad. I've seen some of the other lists and I guess that I'd have a lot of those on my list as well--but I tend to avoid movies that I think I would dislike so I avoid seeing some of what are usually regarded as "bad" movies.

In terms of YMDB, I'd love to see what the top 5 worst movies overall are according to the users, since that info doesn't seem to be on the site anywhere.

Sunday, I did get that TCM2 was a black comedy, I just didn't laugh. Still like the original, though. Have to agree with you on The Sound of Music. If only they hadn't made it over the mountain...

The top 10 worst movies as voted by YMDB users -

1. Batman & Robin (1997) - I agree, very bad film
2. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000) - High on my own worst list
3. Titanic (1997) - I liked it, but am of course aware of the backlash.
4. Pearl Harbor (2001) - Eck.
5. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) - Same as Titanic for me.
6. Armageddon (1998) - On my list also.
7. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - Buh?
8. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) - Love it, believed it rode the coattails of Phantom Menace hatred.
9. Moulin Rouge! (2001) - Really liked this, I know some people didn't, but certainly not one of the worst ever, right?
10. The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers (2002) - Double buh??

You can see the full rankings here (http://www.ymdb.com/worstmovies.asp), including movies not generally thought of as the all-time worst.

Well you just know that some late-night made-for-TV trash isn't going to make the Top 10 because 1) 99.9% of users will never see it, and 2) those who do have low expectations and don't expect something great.

But those kind of movies really and truly are the worst.

Stuff like...
