No, wait. Add another. I’ve seen Rhinestone, but I didn’t see it on the list.

Damn, I’ve seen a few, but most are my kids’ fault-

The King and I (but since when do Jody Foster and Chow Yung Fat suck?!?)

Jaws- the Revenge

Thomas and the Magic Railroad

Doogal (I agree- it was excruciating…and we own it)

Well, my cinematic taste is better than I thought. Or, all the really bad films I watched when younger have been forgotten, while the bad ones of the last decade are too fresh. (These lists tend to be more of a “What’s the worst film you’ve seen lately” instead of “What’s the worst film ever,” since Larry the Cable Guy and “Little Man” are still fresh in people’s memories the lis is skewed to recent films.)

Anyway, I saw “Leonard, Part 6” in the theater with The Wife, and she forgave me. I own a copy of “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” but the girls have not allowed it near the DVD player.

I suppose I’ve seen a fair few flicks that deserve to be on the list, but the only one I’ve seen that actually is, is _Battlefield Earth_.

That was Anna and the King. The King and I was an animated version of the musical.

I saw _Manos: The Hands of Fate_ on MST:3000, and it’s hard to call it a “bad” movie when it brought so much enjoyment. Better than some art-house Eric Rohmer movie boring me to sleep.

I think I got free tickets for _Can’t Stop the Music_ when it first came out, which is the only explanation I have for seeing it.

_The Creeping Terror_ (1964) may well be one of the worst movies of all time. The title monster was basically a moving, man-eating carpet. The designer of the movie’s original monster departed, creature in hand, over a nonpayment issue, leaving the producer to rig up another at the last moment. The producer also managed to lose the soundtrack, which is why there’s wall-to-wall narration explaining the story as it happens. On another board, we’ve been trying to determine if this film was ever released theatrically, and we can’t find any evidence it was.

Wrong movie. Jody Foster and Chow Yun Fat were in [Anna and the King (1999)](http://imdb.com/title/tt0166485/), not [The King and I (1999)](http://imdb.com/title/tt0160429/).

I’ve seen _Rollerblade_, _The Garbage Pail Kids_, and part of _The Neverending Story III_.

I wouldn’t say any of those are good movies, but I don’t think they’re among the worst ever made. Mostly just stupid and trite.

Seen eight of these. I’ll assume you don’t care which ones.

Manos: MST3k version thankfully

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie: In my defense, I was a kid and quite into the cards.

The Incredible Melting Man: Another movie I saw as a kid on some afternoon cheese movie fest. Scared the crudler out of me.

Teen Wolf Too: Well I liked the first one. I thought I should give the second a shot.

Captain America: Even as a kid I knew this movie sucked eggs.

Wow. That’s way less than I thought I would’ve seen.

</div>

I like to think of myself as a B movie connoisseur, so I’ve seen a few of them:

Material Girls  
Orgy of the Dead  
House of the Dead  
Leonard Part 6  
Rhinestone  
Rollerball  
Hercules in New York  
Hobgoblins  
It’s Pat  
House of the Dead  
Battlefield Earth  
I Accuse My Parents  
Can’t Stop the Music  
The Beast of Yucca Flats (I own this one as one those “10 drive-in horror classics for $10.00” things.)

I’m surprised at the movies that _didn’t_ make this list. I’ve seen lots of 40’s, 50’s, 60’s & 70’s B movies that were really awful; in fact, I buy them from dollar bins and have been unable to sit through films with James Earl Jones or Yul Brynner as the big name talent.

</div>

I’ve seen parts of about half a dozen of these, but the only one I’ve seen the whole way through is [Ator l’invincibile 2](http://imdb.com/title/tt0086972/). It was shown as _Cave Dwellers_ on _MST3K_.

</div>

Let’s see.

House of the Dead  
Lawnmower Man 2  
Ed  
The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre  
Captain America  
and I am a very proud owner of a copy of “Can’t Stop The Music”.

I have seen worse. Much worse. [Crocodile Tears](http://imdb.com/title/tt0175541/) and [Butch Camp](http://imdb.com/title/tt0122417/) worse.

I saw **Battlefield Earth**. I have a few of the others in my Netflix queue; they are the MST3K versions.

Car 54 where are you, Manos hand of fate, Troll 2, Leonard part 6, The Honeymooners, Lawnmower man 2, It’s pat, Howling II and III, The garbage pail kids movie, Battlefield earth, Hobgoblins, Ghoulies 2, Can’t stop the music(god help me), Jaws:the revenge, and Rollerball(the 2002 version). In the interest of fairness, It must be noted that I watched most of these on TV, and probably didn’t watch many of them all the way through.

**Bolero**  
And when did \*Plan 9 from Outer Space \* drop out of the Bottom 100? Although I have not seen it either, as I can never get past the first 15 minutes.

I’ve seen Leonard Part 6.

I’m shocked to see that American Cyborg wasn’t on the list. It was waaaay worse than Leonard.
