1. Meet the Spartans (2008)
A spoof of 300 (2006) and many other movies, TV series/shows/commercials, video games and celebrities. King Leonidas of Sparta and his army of 12 go to war against Xerxes of Persia to fight to the death for Sparta's freedom

Blood Beach (from 1981) still stands out as one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I still get ticked off thinking about spending money on that bomb.

I actually like “Medium Cool” as a period piece. Much of it was filmed in the Uptown section of Chicago, aka “hillbilly heaven,” where I lived in the late 1990s. Always liked Robert Forrester and Peter Boyle’s role in that film was a precursor to the even better period piece “Joe.”
Yentl.
Or Eyes Wide Shut.
For me it was The Wiz
The one I hated was Dr. T and the women. It had Richard Here and Helen Hunt in it, and it was bad.
Basically, any Barbra Streisand movie.
Concur.
I consider The Thing a decent movie.
Highlander 2 should be on that list.

Try this one trick to jump the shark in one easy sequel.
Add Planet zeist and ozone problems to your recipe and remove tragic mysticism and serious characters (although I will admit it’s hard to classify the Kurgan as completely serious).
Whoever said English patient wins. It’s the only movie I ever walked out of. My date hated it too. The theater was almost empty to start with. That should have been a warning sign.
I cannot sit through star trek the motion picture. I swear V-ger is doubleentandre for vagina. If you put the movie on fast-forward, they are flying into one. I big scary one. Even on fast forward this movie is slow. The wrath of Khan did the opposite of jumping the shark. It saved the franchise.

Funny how tastes are. Pulp Fiction and The English Patient are two of my favorite movies. Raising Arizona is a silly movie, yet tolerable. Independence Day is horrible, so on that we agree.
I broke up with a girl once, because she didn’t like Raising Arizona.
Speed 2 was pretty bad.
The Thing is a modern classic. Excellent movie.
Sounds like I’ve had A Wonderful Life when it comes to watching movies. :-P
No one mentioned Road House yet?
On the list:
10. The Happening (2008)
45. The Happening (2008)
Personally, I liked "What's Up, Doc", and "For Pete's Sake", both Babs Streisand slapstick comedies. I enjoy them in much the same way I do when I watch the Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, and Laurel and Hardy: they're all fairly silly movies and extremely amusing if you happen to like slapstick comedy of the old style, which I do. The supporting characters in "What's Up, Doc" .. Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Austin Pendleton, Liam Dunn .. are top-notch and help carry the movie along tremendously.
So, abuse me if you must, but there are times that I just love to watch something nonsensical and mindless .. it helps alleviate current affairs headaches ...
