We are all guilty of a being a fan of a few pieces of cinema that we know or are blissfully unaware of how bad they actually are.
With that in mind I thought it would be funny to see what terrible movies everyone loves.
(Your film needs to qualify on at least one of these three rules to be able to be included)
RULES
1. On Rotten Tomatoes it must hold a rotten rating & have the tipped over popcorn bucket
2. Be ranked under 5 stars by IMDB
3. Or have been a box office flop
My list is as follows.
1. The Avengers - Long before we had Iron Man, Cap and Thor we had John Steed and Ms. Peel. The storylines were nothing similar with The Avengers of today and featured Sean Connery as the villain with a weather controlling machine, its even more ridiculous than it sounds and I love it.
2. I Spy - This is one of those movies where I just don't understand why it didn't work. It has Eddie Murphy in fine form, it has Owen Wilson as a bumbling secret agent. A story revolving around them trying to recover the US latest stealth aircraft.
3. Wild Wild West - Will Smith apparently turned down The Matrix to do this movie and I thank him for that. Not only because The Matrix would be very different but because I actually loved this movie. Its a pure popcorn flick and never tries to be anything more.
4. Dungeons & Dragons - I will preface this by saying I have never played the game, if I had maybe I would have a very different opinion of this movie but personally as a guy who likes anything do with magic, mythical creatures and Wayans comedy this was always a winner for me.
5. The Pagemaster - When people bring up Macaulay Culkin very few mention this film first and of all his movies this was always my favourite the story takes you through some of the most famous stories in fiction and always keeps the distinctive art style.
What would your top 5 be?
