This is the sequel to rilla's post. I haven't even seen all these but in some cases I don't think I have to (see "B", "F").

Armageddon
Battlefield Earth
Cool as Ice
Dracula 2000 (apparently there's a 3000? Haven't seen it)
Emperor's Club (aka Dead Poets' Society knockoff #442)
From Justin to Kelly (absolute Lock)
Glitter (pretty much a lock) -- this letter is ripe Cf Godzilla, Gigli,
Highlander (2? Whichever one that was that %^@ing sucked)
Indecent Proposal
Just One of the Guys (wow -- makes BOTH lists!)
Krull (I actually don't remember if this ruled or sucked, but I need a K)
La Bamba
Manos (duh)
Next Karate Kid
Omega Code
Police Academy (parts 1-14, if applicable)
Rhinestone
Spice World
T
Underworld (not the worst movie ever, but underwhelming. i'm open to suggestions here)
V
Wedding Planner
X
Y
Z

Meh... my interest has tapered off

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Many of the movies above are watchable, even worth a rental for some (exempting Bad Movie Nights.) Try harder...

the Animal
Battlefield Earth
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
Ernest Goes to Camp
Freddy Got Fingered
Hudson Hawk or the Hot Chick
Jaws the Revenge
Transporter 2
a Very Brady Squel

A Anaconda
B Body of Evidence
C Chronicles of Riddick (or, Chronicles of Retard given it stars Vin Diesel)
D Dead Poet’s Society (quite possibly tied with Dude, Where’s My Car?)
E Eyes Wide Shut
F Freddy Got Fingered
G Grease 2
H Hudson Hawk
I Independence Day
J Judge Dredd
K King Ralph
L Little Otik
M the Matrix (any of them really)
N Neverending Story
O On her Majesty’s Secret Service
P any of the Police Academy’s (closely followed by any of that Pokemon shit)
Q the Quick and the Dead
R Rocky 4 (as if the Russian’s would start cheering for him)
S the Shining (sacrilege to some, but I just found it dull. Tuesday … Friday … *yawns at the thought of it*) …… Although I am willing to concede that ‘S’ is littered with many a cinematic abhorrence. ‘Showgirls’? ‘Spice World’? ‘Stop! Or my Mom will Shoot’, anyone?!?!?!
T Twins
U Unbreakable
V a View to a Kill
W Willow. Wild Wild West. Take your pick, they are equally horrific
X xXx
Y Young Einstein
Z Zoolander

Starsey. Your list is absolutely horrible.

Matrix one was one of the best movies ever. It was original, all the special effects kicked ass and it was a great story. Get off the fucking "Matrix sucks" bandwagon just becuase the last two were over-hyped. Clearly Eyes Wide Shut is no where near the bottom for E. Independence Day is a fun movie to watch and I always sit through it when amc is showing it in early July. Unbreakable was not a horrible movie. Willow was awesome. And Zoolander. Zoolander I HATED the first time I saw it, but saw it again like 6 months later and it was hilarious and still is hilarious.

Just an absolutely horrible list.

And how anyone can have a list that excludes Torque is beyond me.

Staresy, are you Joking.? Probably for the second time in my life I have to agree with Gorilla.

Matrix - Original and awesome.
Eyes wide shut - Stunning movie from the master
Dead Poets society - Classic to some, but definitely not a horrible movie
Independence - descent entertainment, definitely better than for example Armageddon.
Unbreakable is pretty good too, it has a good feeling in it.
etc etc

A Anaconda - Agree
D Dead Poet’s Society - It's not a bad movie
E Eyes Wide Shut - Kubrick is k00l
F Freddy Got Fingered - PURE CINEMA
I Independence Day - the patrotism in this movie is what makes it bad, and also some minor flaws. The special effects were cool back then though
M the Matrix (any of them really) - Only seen matrix 1 and its very good
N Neverending Story - classic children's movie..
O On her Majesty’s Secret Service - decent
P any of the Police Academy’s - Police Academy 1 and 2 are the shit
R Rocky 4 - This is a great movie. But it's also silly. Rocky would of course be dead in round 1 and they wouldn't start cheering for him either. But it's still a great movie since Dolph Lundgren is such a badass.
S the Shining - Im gonna kill you..
T Twins - It's good, in a bad way
U Unbreakable - Good movie
V a View to a Kill - Good movie
W Willow - Another good childrens movie imho
X xXx - bad movie

Staresy's worst list is better than most people's best list.

Even On Her Majesty's Secret Service is pretty good. If you're going to include a Bond movie, include Moonraker, for god's sake.

I must have started the Matrix sucks bandwagon because I detested it when I first watched it when it first came out (only an hour mind you, I couldn't stand to watch anymore) and argued with many people when they, like you, argued that it was great. I have not, and will never, watch the latter two, so I can't comment on them.

Whilst the special effects are quite impressive, they do much to wow the viewer and mask the fact that the plot is non-existent. What, precisely, is the story? I was so bored I failed to notice one.

But I will accept what you said about Torque, I didn't think of that

The fact that you don't think the Matrix is a good movie is proof of how brilliant it was.

You won't see why.

Well, I love Unbreakable. But other people are fighting that battle.

I'm here to defend Hudson Hawk. Funny, light-hearted action movie. Well worth it's salt.

Seems like everytime it's on TV, I always finish watching it, no matter where I am in the movie.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.
