Anyway, I have an idea.  How about a poll on the worst films?  We could even endeavour to seek out and watch some of the obscure ones...

Heh heh heh  This sounds like a plan.  New thread coming up!

This could also spawn a second idea: Movies that are so bad they are good.  I would nominate Black Belt Jones: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6300269825/002-7014287-6971234?v=glance


A viewer review:


This film isn't a comedy, but the opening credits are 3 of the funniest minutes in motion picture history! A friend and I like to watch bad films, and I recommended this one to him; he ended up thinking it was even funnier than I did.

Jim Kelly plays "Black Belt Jones", out for revenge after some hoodlums kill his old sensei (played by Scatman Crothers). This film has a lot going for it, in an unintentionally funny way: it's from the 70's, so you've got funky hairstyles, clothing, and music; it's part of the "blaxploitation" era (which really SHOULDN'T be funny); and "Isaac" from "The Love Boat" shows up as one of the hoodlums!

And check out Black Belt's car -- what IS that thing???

Recommended for fans of bad movies.

I strongly suspect that this may be a contender:


Falk AdSolution





Actium Maximus: War of the Alien Dinosaurs


Actium is a colony under threat. Myriad problems have beset the people who dwell on the beleaguered planet, although the dictator in charge, Grand-Automaton Polpox, cares little for the fortunes of his citizens. Instead, he focuses all his energy on the Actium Maximus Karnivale, a bloody battle played out between alien dinosaurs that serves as a primitive form of entertainment. But when the ruthless Polpox sends Omni-Turor Axezun into the farthest reaches of space to bring back more dinosaur prey for the games, he discovers something that is set to indubitably change the world they inhabit. A special-FX filled extravaganza from Troma, ACTIUM MAXIMUS: WAR OF THE ALIEN DINOSAURS is a wonderfully entertaining sci-fi romp.

I'm nomimating Pret a Porter ('scuse the lack of accents).  I believe it was called Ready to Wear in the US as Americans can't understand Basserds (I love the way film-makers can patronise a whole country with 3 words!).  It came out sometime in the mid 90s.  It was meant to be some witty fake documentary about the fashion world.  The only continous theme appeared to be dog shit.  It has the dubious honour of being the only film I have ever walked out of.

Hmmm, there seems to have been some filtering of the word F.r.e.n.c.h., rendering half my post nonsensical!

Er, what was that, again, Shaz?

Nate, is your confusion regarding what the film is (you probably had the sense not to watch it), Darren's ridiculous filtering which changes the word F.r.e.n.c.h. to Basserds or just my general description?


Katie, never seen or read Angela's Ashes, but I do believe quite a few people had issues with it.

He destroys the meaning of sentences, I don't think you need to be too nice.

i know, soon he's not even going to let us say sentence, we'll have to say grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed or, as in imperative sentences, understood and a predicate that contains at least one finite verb



(thank you dictionary.com)

Wouldn't that have to be:
grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed or, as in imperative syntactically independant grammatical units, understood and a predicate that contains at least one finite verb
Then?
