    Why oh why weren't any of the umpteen Pokemon movies on that list? I've had the unfortunate task of sitting through 2 and would rather have been watching paint dry. Debbie

          The movies Traffic, The Madness of King (George or Henry I forget now), Exiztence(sp?), Wing commander and some other pointless movie where there was this assassin women (acted by Charlize Theron?) and some schitso spy guy liked her are also all rubbish movies (In my opinion of course - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :-D)

            What does it mean if I enjoyed quite a few of their top ten worst films? A.I had beautiful moments though it was a let down overall. Pearl Harbour was cool for the battles, nice entertainment and anyone who was expecting a historical docu should have their heads checked. Vanilla Sky was just freaky man, but it had Diaz in it, how could I not like it? :blush: The Avengers was just fun. But yes, Battle Field Earth and Highlander were just utterly horrendous. Titanic, Eyes Wide Shut and the Blair Witch I have not watched. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

            That's a real pitty, because I thought Battlefield Earth, the novel, had real movie potential, to rival Dune and Starwars as epics. I hope nobody butchers Greg Bear's Eon. Hallelucination - when you think you see God

              It did indeed, but Travolta, a Scientologist, obviously got too involved in his pet project and ruined it. Hubbard would definitley have knocked him down a few awareness levels for that cock up. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

                Traffic rocked! How can you knock it? It was a masterpiece I thought. The whole style was just awesome. At least Wing Commander the movie was more entertaining than the game. No idea what my friends saw in that deathly boring series of games. Privateer and the like were far better. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

                    The worst film I have every watched was Trainspotting. By far, the most miserable 10 years of my life were spent watching that film.

                      >Privateer was also a wing commander game though. If you mean they were both set in space, then sure. But Privateer was not part of the WC series, it was a really awesome space game with you as a, wait for it, privateer and not part of an army or anything like WC. They release a sequel some time back, the darkening or something. It is more like Elite. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

                        You are definitely going to have to explain what was wrong with Trainspotting then. Quite a cult film that, I have both soundtracks and wouldn't mind the DVD :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

                          Totally agreed, whatever the series (with Mrs Peel, Tara King and even Purdey)! The characters lost their british charm, and the story of the movie was something seen and seen again in Hollywood crappy production.

                            The wing command series was good, until Chris Roberts started wanting to be a film director.. The Kilrathi were a bit crap too, because they looked like the honey monster[^]. Ryan

                                  I must manage to forget bad films - I only recall having seen two of these (Batman and Robin and Highlander II) and have successfully wiped all further details of them from my memory...

However, the ending to 2001 is quite baffling unless you have read the book! >Many movie gowers don't want an experience, they want a rigid story with beautiful people. Yep. Why Armageddon didn't make the top 10 in this list I'll never know. It was simply Pearl Harbour in space after all - great effects, really awful plot and more cheesy moments than you can shake a stick at. Saw Kill Bill this weekend and it blew my t*ts off. Can't wait for Vol 2. Saw "The Pledge" on Sky the other night too (starring Jack Nicholson, directed by Sean Penn) and thought it was excellent. Very under-rated movie. No happy ending though, so hence ignored by the vast majority of the cinema-going public.

Except that Armageddon came long before Pearl Harbour, which, of course, is based in part to an historical event. The rest is pretty much a sappy love story like that which was found previously in Armageddon. While I don't mind a sappy love story from time to time (if nothing else, it earns points with my wife), Armageddon at least plagued the mind with the inevitable fact that someday we will be hit by an asteroid. At least half-way decent movies do something to stir up emotions in the viewers. It may not provoke a lot of thought like the first Matrix, leave the viewer in wonderment like Total Recall, or raise the hairs on the back of their necks like The 6th Sense, but it had its merits. Robert Edward Caldecott wrote: No happy ending though, so hence ignored by the vast majority of the cinema-going public. My kind of movie! People complain how life sucks and then they're fine with a happy ending? Yeah, that's realistic. Isn't it funny how the fantasy films like most sci-fi are unrealistic but have realistic endings? I.e., we don't win when faced with an armadda of highly advanced alien warships and a seemingly endless supply of highly evolved and much bigger alien warriors. On the big screen, we always win - be it a brave suicide mission up the corn-hole of a saucer or a glass of water.

                                        Why oh why weren't any of the umpteen Pokemon movies on that list? I've had the unfortunate task of sitting through 2 and would rather have been watching paint dry. Debbie

                                          What does it mean if I enjoyed quite a few of their top ten worst films? A.I had beautiful moments though it was a let down overall. Pearl Harbour was cool for the battles, nice entertainment and anyone who was expecting a historical docu should have their heads checked. Vanilla Sky was just freaky man, but it had Diaz in it, how could I not like it? :blush: The Avengers was just fun. But yes, Battle Field Earth and Highlander were just utterly horrendous. Titanic, Eyes Wide Shut and the Blair Witch I have not watched. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

                                          It means you're not a ritzy, queer (define that word however you want) Hollywood wanna-be and you have a mind of your own! Congratulations! :)
