It looks like you can now list your worst movies too. That's going to take a bit more thought.

If you happen to adore any of these movies, understand that I may think you're an insane lunatic asylum escapee sociopath criminal wacko. |

Well it's not like any of those are in my top 100, but I own and enjoy watching 4 of those.

Oh come on Scott some of those movies are not THAT bad, Maid in Manhattan, For Richer For Poorer, and Patch Adams for instance. I personally can't figure out why HTF hates Patch Adams and Meet Joe Black so much (other than they got rereleased as ultimate editions).
I guess Batman and Robin is bad, but I enjoyed it when I was 14 , I don't particularly understand what was so terrible about it, it was a typical over the top Batman movie. likewise I enjoyed Sphere when it came out as well and praised it for being very faithful to the book which I quite liked. of course I've seen neither of these since, so take that with a grain of salt.
heh, I don't think I could do a worst 20 list since I have very few movies I actively hate, can't actually think of one right now.

Adam,
If you think Patch Adams "isn't that bad" we simply have different definitions for words like execrable, simpering and vile. 
And I loathed that movie long before I spent any time at the HTF. If there's hatred here for that flick, I'd chalk that up to an intelligent membership. 
OK, maybe Maid in Manhattan isn't Bottom 20 material - but I couldn't remember the last rom-com I saw that was so formulaic, lifeless and vapid. It's like the Prototype for the worst of what modern Romantic Comedy has to offer.
...and I detest For Richer or Poorer on a massive scale. I actively hate that movie as if it had punched my sister and stolen her car. |

Well here's my worst 20. I imagine any Freddie Prinze Jr romantic comedy would qualify here, but I only managed 10 minutes of She's All That, and have avoided his films ever since.

At the end of a storm, there's a golden cloud, and the sweet silver song of a lark,
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Though your dreams may be tossed and blown,
Walk on, Walk on, with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone,
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!!

I haven't looked at your list yet Scott, but I think its safe to say Ringmaster will make an apperance.

I liked Meet Joe black. Although, I was probably too charmed by Brad Pitt to make an objective judgement.

Making the bottom 20 worst is easy as pie. I'll have it in my sig file in a sec.
I know one thing is for sure, I'll have the most controversial bottom 20.

whatever Seth, I tend to not be very critical of sentiment, and I still don't understand the extremely popular (and seemingly universal) critical hatred of modern romantic comedies.
that said I added a few movies to mly worst list. Since I like Police Academy 1-4, and 6 but can't stand 5 or 7 they made the list, Happy End is a Korean film I got from Green Cine that is primarily a cinemax midnight movie for the first half of the film and suddenly very different for the second half, its the sort of film I would expect cultmovie fantatics (like say Quentin Tarentino) to love as its extremely cultish, has gratuitiuos nudity, and very well shot gratuitous murder scene (and is generally well shot an put together as well). I just happened to find it to be a waste of celluloid and meaningless.
Home for the Holidays is the one movie that immediately sprang to mind as possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. This movie is filled with such enormous amounts of hate, resentment, and loathing of a family that I find it utterly unwatchable. it probably doesn't help that I've never had a single bad experience with anyone in my extended family, and can name most of all four of my grandparents brothers and sisters as well as their children and grandchildren and see many of these people multiple times a year, so coming from a strong close family and then watching a movie that is about how much the main character hate and despise their family is not for me. I find no redeeming qualities in the film and find it so utterly false as to be completely unwatchable. (which is odd since one of my favorite films is Foster's Little Man Tate).
Anyone who has seen Stella Dallas should understand why it is on the list.
Adam
