Class 2:

The Blair Witch Project (forced myself to finish watching it; a hyped, unscary, unsuspenseful nothing of a film. I was rooting for the witch to take down the obnoxious cast of three.)

Vanilla Sky (it had its moments, but I forced myself to watch it to the end)

Class 3:

Natural Born Killers (couldn't finish it)

A Night at the Roxbury (currently showing on TBS) - too stupid; can't make it all the way through

Pulp Fiction (couldn't finish it)

Tucker (couldn't finish it)

I thought it was an interesting story, but dragged out. I would not rate it as one of the worst.

Yep...exactly what I tell my son. The only true men left are pro baseball players ('cause he's good at baseball and it's his dream) and the armed forces.

I swear I'm going to just go hang out on base! Just kidding. But you are right on.

I always remind myself when there's a Steven Segall movie on that "Maybe he's not the best actor - but the guy can kick some serious ass".

'Under Siege - Dark Territory' was pretty good.

I liked the concept of a massive shoot-out and butt-kicking taking place on a moving train.

Pulp Fiction is an amazing piece of work, original while being a rip off of several films, but the disjointed time line, the long uninterupted shots, the pure unconvention of it, a brilliant film.

I'm watching a documentary about Orson Welles and his unfinished projects, its fascinating, so many great bits, but he never was able to finish anything.

Still, the opening shot of "Touch of Evil" is one of the most classic scenes ever.

Class 1. A bad movie you sit through because of peer pressure :
Big Lebowski...it's must be a generational thing. Like Hollywood Knights

Class 2. A really bad movie you force yourself to watch because, darn it, you paid for it!
My Beautiful Launderette...I kept hoping it would finally get as good as the reviews.

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

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.)

Does it have that chick from "Amelie" in it?

No,
I think he's gorgeous! And he comes off as extremely sensual.

Which often doesn't work with the manly men. Yeah, they may kill the mastodon, but they will try to use the same heavy hand later. There are few guys who can pull off both the macho and the toe curler.

You mean Alexander the Fabulous?

That's the one--a movie so awful it should only be shown at drive-in movie theaters in the daytime. :)

I love Joe Dirt. I see it as the trailerpark version of Forrest Gump.

I agree! Mars Attacks is a scream! It's one of my favorites.

Class 1. Titanic
Class 2. JFK
Class 3. Ishtar

Didn't quite make the suckkage list:
Napolean Dynamite (although I've seen it again on cable, and it just cracks me up more and more each time I see it. Go figure)

How about Gigli? I never saw it because the movie was loaded with Political Correctness. The few that did see it said that it was terrible.... I think it deserves a nomination...

SATISFACTION with Liam Neeson and Justine Bateman (and Julia Roberts)... never saw it at the theatre... it was on tv the other night... could not watch more than 35 minutes of it... can't believe Liam Neeson was actually in this movie...

What about The River Wild? This is the only movie I've ever fallen asleep in.

I though Vanilla Sky was brilliant.

My wife hated it. Too much hanky panky.
