*I'm just now realizing I saw more movies in December than in any other month (and for the whole year I really didn't see that many)

Though I have yet to see it...based on the critical reviews, Youth Without Youth may deserve a nomination.

I saw many theatrical releases this year, and Halloween and 300 would be at the top of my worst-of list.

They are awful movies, but extremely entertaining.

Thanks to crap like Hostel: Part II and Captivity, 2007 was a bad year for torture porn,
I'll agree that Hostel: Part II has its flaws, but I don't understand why critic's hated it so much. I never thought the first Hostel was that great, and I actually thought Part II was an improvement over the first one. It was more entertaining, anyway.

I haven't seen many movies this year that I've hated. Dead Silence and I now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry were the only two movies I didn't think were good. Dead Silence was just boring, and I now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry just wasn't funny.

1. Elf Bowling: The Movie
2. Thr3e
3. DOA: Dead or Alive
4. Balls of Fury
5. Inland Empire
6. Ten 'til Noon
7. Stan Lee Presents - The Condor
8. Halloween (2007)
9. Delta Farce
10. Blood & Chocolate

I generally stay away from the worst-of-the-worst, but I'm sure these ten movies are as turdtastic as anything released this year.

These days, if the title begins with "Stan Lee Presents", it should automatically get a spot on the ten worst list.

Do agree about Smokin' Aces (made no sense to me at all)
1408 started out great then completely turned into a mountain of fail. Breach was extremely boring, and Harry Potter was one of the worst adaptations of a popular novel since Jurassic Park.

Fantastic Four might be less of a film than Breach, but both failed at being art. At least FF2 entertained.

And I've seen 64 movies this year and counting.

I know it was only 1/2 of the movie, but I thought Death Proof was awful. It was like "The View" with a car chase at the end.

And I'll add my vote for Spiderman 3. In a summer of awful 3-quels, that one stood out, at least it wasn't as bad as the loathsome Star Wars prequels. Maybe expectations were too high, but it was just a mess in every possible way.

I would agree that 300 was entertaining, so even if it wasn't a very good movie, I probably wouldn't put it on the list. Although I would put down Faramir as the year's worst narrator.

I know I'm in the vast minority when I say I liked it. I'm not a big fan of the original Halloween so I didn't hate the remake before I saw it like many other people did. I went in with a clear mind and came out pleasently surprised. I enjoyed the Devil's Rejects more but I thought this was movie had more of a story and was better put together.

I usually know what kind of crap to avoid, so I don't see many bad movies, but one title that would definitely end up on my list would be AVP:R. A total turd in every respect of the word.

These type of lists aren't usually too good because people don't see movies they have no interest in.

I didn't see anything absolutely terrible this year since I usually avoid the really bad stuff. That being said, my least favorite movies of the year:

1. License to Wed (2 stars) - You know a movie is bad when Robin Williams is more annoying than funny. John Krasinski does the best he can with the material and Mandy Moore is nothing more than very attractive wallpaper. How can a movie put Mandy Moore on a beach and not have her in a bikini for the audience to see?

2. The Number 23 (2 stars) - Interesting concept, less than interesting execution. I thought the setup was good with the paranoia and despair settling in, but once it took over, the movie went off the rails. Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen try to do their best, but ultimately they are done in by a shoddy script.

3. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2 stars) - To me, this movie kept going back and forth between making fun of gay people and celebrating gay people to the point of annoyance. Kevin James and Adam Sandler barely have any chemistry as it seems like their characters always end up yelling at each other. Rob Schneider and David Spade were embarrassing. The only saving grace: Jessica Biel, who was gorgeous eye candy.

4. Spider-man 3 (2.5 stars) - Even though I grade 3 other movies as worse, SM3 was the most disappointing movie of the year. After the spectacular 2nd movie, I was expecting more of it. Instead what I got was more of the 1st movie, which I didn't really care for. Crammed with too many villians who I also didn't care for, a alteration of a past movie plot point that was incredibly stupid, the most asinine dance number by a character in years and some special effects that didn't work, it was a mishmash that wasn't that good overall. Hopefully, the 4th one will be more like the 2nd one and not 1 and 3.

Haven't seen any of those, but Transformers was horrible.

I did see License to Wed with my sister and niece. They, of course loved it, I wanted to walk out. But I pretended that I liked it for them.

Whoah! "Stardust"!? Even if you didn't enjoy it. One of the worst of the year!? It's not fair to even include it in the company of the other titles you mentioned.

A fairly good list in the original post (I agree they were all crap) except for this line: "In his worst film since A Vampire in Brooklyn, Murphy plays a nerd named Norbit..."

Yes, Norbit sucked (I consider it one of Eddie's worst) but I LOVED "A Vampire in Brooklyn". Eddie has done FAR WORSE movies. Don't disrespect the Vampire.

Oh yeah? What if it was:

- Stan Lee Presents No Country For Old Men or
- Stan Lee Presents I'm Not There or
- Stan Lee Presents Tim Burton's Production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

What then, smart guy?
