[QUOTE=Sage Rat]  
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/).

[/QUOTE]

Ah, thank you. I wasn’t clicking on any links in the list to check my answers!

I feel better now.

[QUOTE=Tengu]  
That was Anna and the King. The King and I was an animated version of the musical.  
[/QUOTE]

I have seen all the versions of this, from Rex Harrison, through Yul Brenner [HUBBA HUBBA!!], the Jody Foster and the cartoon. I have also seen it live in the theater.

None of them particularly follows Anna Leonowens’ book [which I also have.]

Did you know that Boris Karloff was related distantly to Anna Leonowens, and one of his brothers was a diplomat for decades?

And that cartoon version is the definition of suckitude.

**Santa Claus Conquers the Martians**  
**Orgy of the Dead**  
The last 20 minutes of the remaked of **Rollerball** , which by themselves constitute one of the worst films I’ve ever seen.

Due to a wonderful little show called the Creature Double Feature shown in Boston when I was a child (Think MST3K without the commentary), I may have seen **The Creeping Terror** , **The Beast of Yucca Flats** , and **The Beginning of the End** , but it’s too long ago for me to remember.

I can proudly say that I have never seen any of them. I think that’s a thing to be proud of. I think…

I will also note that there are several well-known classic stinkers that aren’t on that list, probably because they aren’t viewed by the young, technically savvy people who tend to peruse such polls and vote in them. Of course, classic stinkers end up being considered cult classics. 😛

It’s Pat  
Larry The Cable Guy (it’s not that bad)  
American Ninja 3 (I’m guessing. I used to love those movies)  
BloodRayne (I didn’t think that this was too bad. Not bad enough to make this list, anyway)  
Teen Wolf Too

Also **Battlefield Earth** (I didn’t see it on the list, and I was looking for it), and **The Creeping Terror** on some pre-MST late night show where they made fun of it during breaks.

I was rather surprised to see **Rollerball** listed, but then I realized it was the remake. The original was ok.

I’ve seem a few MSTfied versions, but _none_ of the originals on that list.

_Gigli, Lawnmower Man 2,_ and I once, long ago, caught the last half-hour of _Santa Clause Conquers the Martians_ on TV.

\*\*It’s Pat \*\* is the only one I’ve seen from that list. And I laughed my ass off. That character just kills me.

</div>

I’ve seen **Alone in the Dark** : It is a VERY bad sign when Christian Slater and Stephen Dorff are in the same movie.

**Bloodrayne** : had some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen.

**Battlefield Earth** : I wanted to see if it’s as bad as they say. It is.

I’ve seen about 15 of them and, honestly, there are plenty of worse films out there. What about **The Prehistoric Sound**? Or **the Terrornauts**? Or **White Pongo** or **The Cyclops** or **The Black Sleep** or a zillion other bad flicks. I notice that there are an awful lot of very recent films on there, which suggests that a lot of this is voting by people too young and inexperienced to have encountered the awfulness that was 1950s cinema.

Just the one, Jaws the Revenge.

Even I, non-film buff have seen more of the top 100 than the bottom 100.

Oh my goodness, there’s a movie called “Anus Magillicutty!?” I must see this movie now. It is my mission.

Of the bottom 100 movies, I’ve only seen Lawnmower Man 2, You Got Served, and It’s Pat.

I am the only person in the entire world who enjoyed the movie “It’s Pat.” I’m sorry, but I find it hilarious.

**KJ** , take a look at post 70…

I’m rather disappointed that I haven’t seen any of them. Seems I’ve led a sheltered life.

Jebus man, Not counting MST3k (and of those I’m not sure what the titles were since I almost always missed that part) I’ve seen all of or at least 30 minutes of the following crapfests:

From Justin to Kelly  
Car 54, Where Are You?  
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain  
Troll 2  
Glitter  
Son of the Mask  
Cool as Ice  
Kazaam  
Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (  
You Got Served  
Ed  
Baby Geniuses  
Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch  
It’s Pat \*(How could dave folly sell his soul like this?)  
Howling III  
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie  
Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000  
American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt  
Ghoulies II  
Jaws: The Revenge  
Teen Wolf Too  
Captain America  
Police Academy: Mission to Moscow  
Rollerball (2002)

The really sad part is the movies I didn’t see all of It wasn’t because I got disgusted or anything nobel. Mostly I just had something to do and walked away from the TV.

I think I’ll go now before I embarss myself further

I can’t believe it, but I haven’t seen any on the list either (assuming that five minutes’ worth of \*\*Battlefield Earth \*\* doesn’t count). And I’ve seen my share of turkeys… 😕
