      Worst Movies of All-time

      11 Mar 2007

      RottenTomatoes has a really fun feature on their site right now which lists the 100 Worst-Reviewed Films of All Time. Before actually viewing the list I made a mental note of some of my own personal picks for worst-movie-of-all-time, and ended up with this:

      1. Catwoman
      2. Alone in the Dark
      3. Battlefield Earth

      Imagine my surprise when I found Catwoman at the #100 spot. I wasn’t expecting it to be in the top 10, but it was certainly a pretty horrible movie, and I felt it deserved a more prominent position. The equally horrible (but far more crappy-looking) Battlefield Earth was at #14, and the bottom-of-the-barrel thriller Alone in the Dark was at the rather prestigious #2 spot. What’s at #1? Well I won’t ruin the surprise, but it wasn’t a movie I’d actually seen so I wasn’t all too impressed by the particular choice. (Here’s a clue though: Antonio Banderas is in it.)

      Interestingly, videogame-adaptation fiend Uwe Boll’s entire filmography is on this list, with the aforementioned Alone in the Dark at #2, Blood Rayne at #33, and House of the Dead at #26 (and if the Dungeon Siege movie ever gets released, I’m fairly sure it’ll be fairly well-positioned as well).

        ACK! Alone in the Dark! I watched that movie in a bus going to Clark from Manila. It was utter crapfest. Tara Reid as a scientist was just a bonus.

        huh. I’m actually a little ashamed to admit it, but I dind’t think #1 was all that bad. I mean, bad, sure, but number 1?

        I checked it out. However, I just couldn’t sift through ALL 100 of them. So are there any Ed Wood works in the list? Or are his films bad enough to be good?

        dammit, I didn’t think romeo must die was all that bad either. the hell’s wrong with me?

        I guess the list wasn’t properly qualified: it only lists the “worst” movies as reviewed on RottenTomatoes, so you won’t see anything past the 90s in those listings.

        Tundra — I think the question you should be asking yourself is: was “Romeo Must Die” worse than “Catwoman”? Because it’d have to be, to get on that list.
