Pretty funny that the worst movie ever is getting a sequel. 10 bucks says that the sequel to the worst movie ever tops itself on the worst movie ever list.

I agree somewhat with the top ten. ROTK might not be that high on there because of the horrendously long ending (yes yes yes please the fans...). It is a strange phenomenon, those LOTRs flicks. It'll be interesting to see how they will change the tides of hollywood. Lot's of trilogy/series flicks popping up now.

 

[Guzim]

People just voted Gigli, From Justin to Kelly, and You Got Served because it's the 'cool' thing to do.

 

[Ill Saint]

No Fellini, Fasbinder, Tarkovsky, Almadovar, Pasolini, etc.?

Eh...

 

[GDGF]

:lol @ 'Manos' The Hands of Fate being on there. I saw that on an old episode of MST3K.

 

[Rlan]

I've watched the whole Godfather Trilogy this weekend, I really quite liked Godfather 1 & 3, but I need to watch Part 2 again, I got pretty confused until the middle, and overall didn't seem THAT good. I don't really see why Part 3 gets trashed.

 

[Matlock]

No Fellini, Fasbinder, Tarkovsky, Almadovar, Pasolini, Kurosawa etc.?

Eh...

Number five on the top ten list.

 

[Ill Saint]

Yeah, I'm a spaz... just noticed and edited.

 

[Pattergen]

Gigli is number 15. But I do agree that a lot of the voting is skewed by current trends/media buzz. But I have seen all of those flicks minus a couple, and they more or less deserve the place they are given. You Got Served obviously isn't the worst movie ever made, but I for one would put it close enough to that spot. Wasn't even good for laughs.

BTW, I'd rather punch myself in the sack for the full hour and a half that From Justin to Kelly stole from me. It is that bad.

Yeah, number 5 is Seven Samurai. I'll edit the list.

 

[Socreges]

As much as I love LOTR and Star Wars, none of them belong in the Top Ten. Too many fucking fantasy fruits at IMDB!

I'm amazed that The Shawshank Redemption is so high. Especially with so many votes. I think it's a wonderful film and deserving of that acclaim, but I just had no idea so many people felt the same way.

 

[Matlock]

Nice av, Patter.

 

[DrForester]

4 (maybe 5) of those bottom top 10 are MST3K episodes, Manos, Eegah, Space Mutiny and Hobgoblins

 

[Ollie Pooch]

i propose the addition of 'to the limit' starring anna nicole smith to the worst 10 list.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

I've watched the whole Godfather Trilogy this weekend, I really quite liked Godfather 1 & 3, but I need to watch Part 2 again, I got pretty confused until the middle, and overall didn't seem THAT good. I don't really see why Part 3 gets trashed.

Part II shows the rise of Vito and moral decline of Michael. Some parts are a bit a boorish and some parts are alot better than part I but it's still nevertheless absolutely great, especially the Lake Tahoe boat scene.
Part III gets trashed on because of Sofia Coppola and Andy Garcia's acting. I personally didn't see anything wrong with it except for the 'cousin kitchen' scene, but yeah.

I agree with most of that list, except for TTT > FotR. I have no idea what they were smoking when they made voted that, but it must've been some pretty serious shit.

 

[Pattergen]

Nice av, Patter.

7.8 on the vote meter, but not enough votes to make top 250.

4 (maybe 5) of those bottom top 10 are MST3K episodes, Manos, Eegah, Space Mutiny and Hobgoblins

Why else would someone watch such terrible movies?

 

[Ecrofirt]

I saw Gigli recently.

It wasn't that bad.

 

[Project Midway]

I just watched Battlefield Earth last weekend, havent seen it never before.

If it was made tongue-in-cheek, it was quite fun. If not, one the worst movies I have ever seen. I loved when they got the gold from Fort Knox and gave it to Travolta..."you smelt it?" "oh okay, its ok"....lmao.

 

[Hitman]

LOTR movies need to be lower.

 

[Dead]

LOTR movies need to be lower except for FOTR.

 

[mjq jazz bar]

No Fellini, Fasbinder, Tarkovsky, Almadovar, Pasolini, etc.?

Eh...

Wow, lucky you. You like foreign cinema! I'm seriously very proud of you.

 

[quin]

heh heh I watched Troll 2 a couple of weeks ago. pretty bad stuff

 

[Error Macro]

That Top 10 list is total bunk.

 

[Ill Saint]

Wow, lucky you. You like foreign cinema! I'm seriously very proud of you.

No, I like good cinema... foreign or not.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Whoah...Seven Samurai is high up there. Pretty cool.

 

[deadhorse32]

No Fellini, Fasbinder, Tarkovsky, Almadovar, Pasolini, etc.?

Eh...

You can spot all those directors in the top 100, IMDB has just too much LOTR/Star Wars geek voting.

 

[Guzim]

4 (maybe 5) of those bottom top 10 are MST3K episodes, Manos, Eegah, Space Mutiny and Hobgoblins

Future War and Night Train to Mundo Fine.

I remember IMDB had a really strict standard for moves making the 100 worst movies list, and you would only see movies from MST3K on it.

 

[sprsk]

That list is so geek-skewed.

lord of the rings in the top 10 movies of all time? riiiiiight.

 

[Bregor]

It's nice to see the LotR films get such recognition from IMDB voters. Those who complain should remember that it's their opinion and they are entitled to express it.

 

[Shinobi]

As much as I love LOTR and Star Wars, none of them belong in the Top Ten. Too many fucking fantasy fruits at IMDB!

Word...except I merely liked Star Wars and couldn't give a shit about LOTR.

But who cares...my top ten list is mostly action flicks, which many others would look down upon. Each to his own.

 

[AssMan]

Where's Ghostbusters on the top 10?

 

[MIMIC]

I saw "From Justin To Kelly" a few days ago on HBO or Showtime (I can't remember which). I HAD to change the channel because it IS a pretty awful movie...I only saw like 10 or 15 minutes of it.

Anyone can be an IMDB voter http://www.imdb.com/register/

 

[human5892]

That is the absolute worst top ten movie list I have ever seen. Star Wars doesn't even belong in the top 100, as far as I'm concerned, and most of the others could easily be supplanted with far better movies.

 

[Bregor]

So? Doesn't change anything I said.

 

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

Where is "It's Pat" ranked on worst list? I caught a glimpse of it on TV just now and I vomitted.

[jett]

The LOTR trilogy is too high up. RotK better than the Godfather Part II? FUCK NO. Fucking tolkiengroupies.

 

[karasu]

No, I like good cinema... foreign or not.

right the fcuk on.

 

[MIMIC]

I've never read a Tolkien book and I caught "Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" back-to-back on a Starz marathon the week "Return of the King" debuted...then, I went to see "Return of the King."

IMO, the first two movies were pearls of cinematic brilliance and the trilogy culminated in a painstakingly orchestrated visual of motion picture genius.

Best movies I've ever seen.

 

[Hournda]

Both IMDB's greatest strength and weakness is the fact that everything is user submitted. Thus, you have stuff like Shawshank Redemption is #2 movie of all time and all 3 LOTR movies in the top 10.
