From Rotten Tomatoes:

The Worst of the Worst (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/worst_of_the_worst/1/)

For all the many movies I have seen in the last ten years I somehow managed to avoid most of the films on the list, though not all of them ...

Guilty
1. Half Past Dead
2. Battlefield Earth

Despite the reviews I am still curious to see the Roberto Benigni film, although I know the experience will be full of pain and misery.

I've seen:

The New Guy
Babylon A.D.
88 Minutes
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
Battlefield Earth
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

None of them were good movies. But I can think of many worse movies i"ve seen. Part of being a truly awful movie, in my opinion, is the people involved thinking they're doing something really good. Nobody making Ballistic though they had even a good genre movie going (though it truly is an awful movie). Wild, Wild West, however...

I haven't seen a single movie on that list.

Three of the ones I've seen were seen on airplanes. Further proof of airline sadism.

By the way, I didn't think 88 Minutes was all that bad. Just an extremely mediocre genre picture.

I saw Testosterone. Even the delicious eye candy was not enough to save that flaming bag of turd.

*phew* - I've dodged every bullet on that list. But I too have long been curious about the Benigni Pinocchio. I've heard that the longer Italian version (without the American voice-over track) is preferable.

So is it worse to be listed #100 on the list or #1?

I guess #1 is the worst, it has a 0% ripe vs #100 6% ripe.

Phew. My career has only been connected to 5 of them.

63 - Yours, Mine and Ours
60 - The Perfect Man
58 - Christmas with the Kranks
56 - Because I said so
46- Material Girls
41- Zoom
40 - Down to You
38 - Happily Never After
36 - The Whole Ten Yards

If you a fan of Larry the Cable Guy and the lesser Wayans offspring then it would seem you are way out of alignment with the nations cinema critics.

Big fat zero for me on the list.

I sort of wanted to see Modigliani. Knowing full well it is not going to be anything remotely cheerful. It might be in the netflix queue.

I know I've gone to most of the kids films on the list. I see they listed Happily Never After but didn't notice the sequel on the list. I was subjected to that one recently with a free red box code.

Although Godsend sounds familiar I may be confusing it with another bring the kid back to life movie.

Pages and page with zero seen for me. I'm gonna assume that's true for the rest (though I did watch Battlefield Earth precisely because it was billed as the Worst Movie Ever Made ... and in my opinion, it was not ... making it even more a waste of my time).
