Worst movies since 97, by year.
Bored at work, I thought I would waste some time by looking over box office mojo for the yearly earnings list. While doing so, I thought I would further amuse myself by writing down what the worst movies I have seen over the last few years are. These are what I consider to be the worst of the worst. I'm sure there are some other crappy ones, but this list only has movies I actually saw. Anyone else?
2004 - Anchorman, Hellboy, White Chicks
2003 - Paycheck, Underworld, Timeline, A Mighty Wind, MAtrix Revolutions
2002 - Big Fat Greek Wedding, Blade 2, Reign Of Fire, Orange County, Undercover Brother
2001 - Mummy Returns, Royal Tenenbaums, 13 Ghosts, Evolution, Jeepers Creepers
2000 - Whole 9 Yards, Pitch Black, Battlefield Earth
1999 - Blair Witch Project, Galaxy Quest, End Of Days, 13th Warrior, Mystery Men
1998 - 6 Days, 7 Nights, Lost In Space
1997 - Liar, Liar, Good Will Hunting, Fifth Element, Devil's Advocate, Spawn, Bean
2004 - Anchorman, Hellboy, White Chicks
2003 - Paycheck, Underworld, Timeline, A Mighty Wind, MAtrix Revolutions
2002 - Big Fat Greek Wedding, Blade 2, Reign Of Fire, Orange County, Undercover Brother
2001 - Mummy Returns, Royal Tenenbaums, 13 Ghosts, Evolution, Jeepers Creepers
2000 - Whole 9 Yards, Pitch Black, Battlefield Earth
1999 - Blair Witch Project, Galaxy Quest, End Of Days, 13th Warrior, Mystery Men
1998 - 6 Days, 7 Nights, Lost In Space

Damn, man, you've got some movies on that list that I would consider among the best for their given year: "A Mighty Wind," "Blade 2," "Royal Tenenbaums," "Pitch Black," "Blair Witch"...

I think "Good Will Hunting" is an exceptional movie. Now, many, even most probably wouldn't call it "exceptional", and I can appreciate that. But I can't imagine anybody calling it one of the worst films of 1997. Hell, I hated "Titanic", thought it was a horriblely acted, over-rated piece of crap. But even I wouldn't rate it among the year's worst.
I can only imagine that you have a problem with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon or Robin Williams.

1. These types of lists are silly
2. The actual movies I have chosen are indeed silly (he agrees with me)
3. It is silly to put these actual movies on a worst-of list (he doesn't agree with me)
BTW, thanks for telling me how I should respond to a message in a topic I created. If you get bent out of shape by how people respond to others' messages, YOU might not want to hang out on any message boards.

What movies did you see and LIKE, I'm curious to know? Seems like you're watching a lot of Blockbuster type movies and then condemning them for being popular as is so common these days.

Well, I mean there's a difference between "worst" movie and movie I didn't like.
I didn't care for Good Will Hunting either. the story didn't really affect me, thought the characters weren't too interested. But I wouldn't ever go so far as to call it a BAD movie. I mean, it's not. Not in a year when something like Batman and Robin existed.

Let's face it, "worst" is very subjective. Everyone has different tastes, and no one is going to agree with 100% of the OP's list. While I agree that quite a few of the films on his list were definitely not to my liking, I did enjoy HELLBOY, PAYCHECK and FIFTH ELEMENT, for example. They kept me entertained, and sometimes, that's all you can ask for.

Wow. Your list of movies you like and movies you hate seem like the exact same kind of movies to me. I mean, literally, if you didn't tell me which list was which I would have no clue. Weird.
