The opposite of The Princess Bride

Thanks to all of you who wrote in, proving the enduring excellence that is The Princess Bride. Line after quotable line, that movie does it. We are better people for it.

Which, of course, draws me to the opposite. I know we can’t all agree on the worst movie we’ve ever seen–there are far too many to choose from. But I’d like to start our master list.

I’ll go first:

1. Howard the Duck

    The Blair Witch Project.

    Absolutely awful.

    And I love B movies. Bad ones.

    Meet the Parents: Robert DeNiro overacts while Ben Stiller plays the guy who tries too hard to be liked, and is repeatedly victimized in turn. Not to mention it’s an hour and a half high quality film version of America’s Funniest Home videos.

    Seabiscuit: One of the most manipulative movies I’ve ever seen, and if there’s one thing I hate, it’s when a movie tries to force me to feel.

    Be Cool: Bad enough that I didn’t care, not bad enough that I hated it, despite Get Shorty being one of my all-time favorites.
