I'm doing pretty good with my movie picks.  With the exception of Home Alone 3, I haven't seen any of the "bad" movies listed in this thread. ;D

Hey, I had a pretty good thing going here where I hadn't seen but one of these so-called bad movies.  Now you just listed another one that I saw, "I Am Legend".  But I liked that movie.

For what it's worth Sixth Sense made the AFIs updated list of top 100 films....in the 90s I think

I loved Sixth Sense and Signs but everything he's done after Signs (Lady In The Water, The Village, Devil, Last Airbender, The Happening) has been pretty awful imo.

The movies you hated most or were most disappointed in

1 The Eagle......there just couldn't be a more horrid movie. Just insulting
2 Avatar
3 Schindler's List
4 Brokeback Mountain ( I appreciate that they swung for the fences but they fell over in the attempt like Babe Ruth did at times)
5 some of those Steve Martin movies like Lonely Guy
6 The Graduate
7 2001 A Space Oddessy
8 American Grafitti
9 Sideways
10 The English Patient....Shakespeare in Love...they're like the same movie

JFK is very competitive with these films.   

I think Avatar is the most watchable of these films despite the absurdness

Also I think it's worth noting Godfather 3 was nominated best picture. It lost to Dances With Wolves. Goodfellas was also nominated that year. Godfather 3 is a fine film in a vacuum. But it was like an A - or B+ film trying to follow on the heels of two A ++++++++++++ films.  It was like trading Michael Jordan for Wally Szerbiak or Dale Ellis. Those guys were good. They played in an all star game. But you can't do that

A few disagreements: 4 star scale:
The Graduate: ***
American Grafitti: ***1/2
Godfather 3:  ** 
JFK: **1/2
The English Patient: *** (I know this diminishes my credibility)
Schindler's List: ***

Of the others in your that I have seen:
Sideways was very disappointing -- didn't enjoy it at all but not near my worst 10.
2001, yeah -- pretty bad. 
Steve Martin after The Jerk -- not so good.


Some of my worst:
Last year at Marienbad  (should been Marienterrible)
My Dinner with Andre (inconceivably bad)
Godfather 3 (not the worst film, but most disappointing)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (sorry)
Top Gun (insanely predictable; but it was Cruise's constant pandering smile that got me)
Color of Money: Terribly disappointing and thought Cruise and Newman were awful (Newman got an oscar and BTW I don't hate all Cruises movies).
Last Tango in Paris
Blue Velvet

Yeah man this is a good one.  Actually probably should be on my list.

I didn't like a single thing about it.
