RottenTomatoes has a really fun feature on their site right now which lists the 100 Worst-Reviewed Films of All Time. Before actually viewing the list I made a mental note of some of my own personal picks for worst-movie-of-all-time, and ended up with this:
Imagine my surprise when I found Catwoman at the #100 spot. I wasn’t expecting it to be in the top 10, but it was certainly a pretty horrible movie, and I felt it deserved a more prominent position. The equally horrible (but far more crappy-looking) Battlefield Earth was at #14, and the bottom-of-the-barrel thriller Alone in the Dark was at the rather prestigious #2 spot. What’s at #1? Well I won’t ruin the surprise, but it wasn’t a movie I’d actually seen so I wasn’t all too impressed by the particular choice. (Here’s a clue though: Antonio Banderas is in it.)
Interestingly, videogame-adaptation fiend Uwe Boll’s entire filmography is on this list, with the aforementioned Alone in the Dark at #2, Blood Rayne at #33, and House of the Dead at #26 (and if the Dungeon Siege movie ever gets released, I’m fairly sure it’ll be fairly well-positioned as well).
