under the paving stones.

I rest my case.
So am I to take it you're saying Gladitor is "One of the Worst Movies Ever?"
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Yeah.

Raikus

Although, as P said, it was crapola... you need to see more movies.

Well, if not worst... most overrated.

Raikus

That's a statement I can absolutely agree with.

well, nobody sees movies that look blatantly terrible, unless they're going to laugh at it.  and if a certain genre isnt your thing, than fine.  but by seeing only the "cool" movies, your limiting yourself to a lot of other stuff thats out there.  not all of which, by the way, is lame.  and by seeing some more stuff you'll realize that the spectrum goes a lot lower (and a little higher), than you've given credit for.   c'mon even Gold Trumpet likes American Pie!
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

i honestly don't see how freddy got fingered takes itself too seriously. the whole point of the movie is that it doesn't. it is the stupidest movie ever made on purpose and that is what is so great about it.

all the movies i see on here at least have some redeeming qualities. i liked gladiator, i liked chasing amy. gladiator is overrated, certainly not one of the worst movies ever made.
The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls

I tought My Big Fat Greek Wedding was pretty fucking bad for what it was considered to be. It might be the worst of the "not really made to be stupid" movies.

you know i purchased Jaw Breaker for like 5 bucks at Walmart because the box looked pretty good.  That was quite possibly he worst movie ive ever seen.

And if you watch it with the commentary on, it's even more hilarious.

The thing with Freddy Got Fingered is... is an awful movie. One of the worst. But people say its great because its meant to be stupid and therefore not awful. The way I always justify it is this: watching it as a Tom Green TV special, sure it can probably entertaining, BUT when criticizing it as a film, excluding what its "purpose" might have been and such.. it is incredibly low taste, which just makes for a bad, bad movie in this case because, unlike American Pie, there's really nothing to forgive about the characters. FGF presents a place and time where you're scratching your head wondering where the fuck thats happening (although you're presuming the southern states to yourself, or somewhere in Canada), but AP1,2, and AW, its something that we all understand.. we relate and thats movies like that with lower taste are accepted, understood, and forgiven.

So you judge a book by it's cover? And how do you know they are lame if you haven't seen them?

I guess I sort of do. I'm guilty of that a bit. I usually know if I'll like the movie or not. *shrug*

I sometimes decide to give movies a chance. Like American Pie. I didn't think I'd like it, and I didn't. I didn't laugh once.

I dunno. Usually if a movie looks bad to me, and I see it, my opinion doesn't change.
