Wow, I could never match your list.

[KamperKen]

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!

I whole heartedly agree!! The BEST movie, ever!

Pia Zadora had the body and the looks for a movie like that. But no acting skills to speak of.

She peaked early in her career (Santa Claus Conquers The Martians). From there on, it's all been downhill.

Worst movie of all time: "The Trial of Billy Jack."

When I think of how many people wasted their time and money on that stinker, I just go BERZERK!!!! :)

[americanMel]

I'll bet you like Russell Crowe in "Master and Commander"...:) Or, perhaps, Good old John Wayne!

You betcha! Men.....like my Grandpa (didn't put up with any sissyness...out of other men or me!). They just don't make 'em like that anymore. At least, I haven't found him yet.

Class 3. Horrifyingly bad movies you simply leave, dragging yourself up the aisle with your arms because your legs have gone numb from shock.

Only one winner possible here: Battlefield Earth

The only reason why that movie didn't kill me is that I passed out during it and fell on the TV's off button on the remote.

It was a special case of "No movie could possibly be as bad as the reviews so I'll watch it to see how bad it actually is". It was worse than I was told.

....bad movies = bad actors.....bad actors = bad movies.....

[Hildy]

PULP FICTION is my favorite movie of all time. I can't believe you didn't like it.

[Exeter]

Trust me, steve-b, movies like The Brothers Grimm and Dukes of Hazzard will ressurect MST3K. It would be a moral imperiative...

Class 1: Iron Eagle, Prizzi's Honor, Chinatown

Class 2: American Anthem, Rambo III, Rocky IV, Terror Train and everything with Steven Segal.

I'm sure there are more...but you can only focus on wasted time in your life for so long.

They do make em like that...they just don't get any publicity in the MSM...:)

We got em in spades in the USMC and the US Army!

Read "Back in Action" and you will know what I mean.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Each their own I guess. Never seen Peter's Friends so I can not compare.

[najida]

I agree,
There are cute boys,
there are cute men,
there are handsome men,
there are ruggedly handsome men.

JL looks like a boy, he'll die looking like a boy. Same with De Caprio. Johnny Depp, well, almost crosses into something more than boy for sure, I just don't know how to define it.

[Artemis Webb]

Oh...for the special catagory John Wayne's Red River. A great movie and a great performance (as a villain!) ruined by the studio in the very end.

[manwiththehands]

Class 1: Tadpole. I was on a date.
Class 2: Primer. I'm not stupid but this movie didn't make any sense.
Class 3: Punch Drunk Love. Again, I was on a date. Dumb and dumber gets the dumbest with Adam Sandler.

[kevkrom]

BTW... is there yet another category for movies you knew were bad, would never admit to anyone that you watched it, but you secretly enjoyed it?

[rlmorel]

"Johnny Depp, well, almost crosses into something more than boy for sure, I just don't know how to define it."

LOL!

I do believe you have just defined "Metrosexual"...

BLECH!

I am just tired of the Political Correctness in the movies.

For instance, the Tom Clancy movie The Sum of All Fears. Why were the bad guys modified to be Neo-Nazis? I mean what a joke. Of the course the movie came out the Summer before the attacks on September 11th.

I am also sick of watching Hollywood bashing Conservatives and Christians in most movies. Of course their subtle shots. For instance, painting the conservatives as some paranoid nut. Or the Christians as radical, and non logical. Nothing angers me more, and I am not going to pay for that.

Oh and one more thing most of the movies are not even original anymore... They are all remakes...

[shhrubbery!]

I think you mean "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." But whatever, you're right, it was an unbearable piece of Euro-cr@p.

Oddly there was a French import recently that I thought was good: "Look at Me" (French title, Comme une image). It was funny, real, and unpretentious. (Maybe that's why nobody besides me has ever heard of it.)

In your category 1: "Shakespeare in Love." Another overhyped heap of rubbish. Won lots of awards from fawning Hollywood types hoping to look high-brow.

I'm convinced that flick was a mere vehicle for Gwyneth Paltry-brain.

[rlmorel]

Heh, good one.

I am guilty of some of those...:)
