Film | 50 Best Good Bad Movies

I found this super cool article on a site called The Ringer about The 50 Best Good Bad Movies, where "films that are so terrible they’re endlessly amusing and — dare we say it? — actually good" are rated and ordered based on their Good Bad Score.

I definitely recommend giving it a read as they explain how they got their Good Bad Score plus the other 32 films that are on the list.

48. Cellular (2004) | 46. Obsessed (2009) | 44. The Wicker Man (2006)
42. Hercules (2014) | 41. You Got Served (2004) | 40. Battleship (2012)
39. Save The Last Dance (2001) | 38. The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) | 35. Spice World (1997)

I absolutely love Obsessed, yes Beyoncé's acting is incredibly questionable but she's Beyoncé, plus Idris is in it too. I never watched the remake of The Wicker Man (1973), I think I would have had I not seen the original about 100 times when I had to study it at school.

I watched You Got Served and Save The Last Dance a ridiculous amount of times with my sister when we were younger, but I have to say I love the sequel to Save The Last Dance even better than the original, can anyone say Columbus Short!

32. Mission: Impossible II (2000) | 28. The Last Action Hero (1993) | 27. The Happening (2008)
25. Catwoman (2004) | 24. Con Air (1997) | 8. Final Destination (2000)
7. Ananconda (1997) | 2. Wild Wild West | 1. Godzilla (1998)

I've spoken about The Happening before, I definitely think the first half is worth watching, still the acting's not amazing.
I'm definitely not surprisedthat Catwoman made it on this list it really is awful (it was totally one of my favourite when I was younger), Halle Berry is awful in it and so are the special effects!

Film | Worst Films of 2015

(according to Empire)

12. She's Funny That Way || 11. Accidental Love || 10. Jupiter Ascending || 9. Aloha || 8. Anti-Social || 7. Monsters Dark Continent || 6. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 || 5. No Escape || 4. Hot Tub Time Machine 2 || 3. The Fantastic Four || 2. United Passions || 1. Terminator Genisys

I've not actually seen any of these films, which is quite bad of me, plus I fell like I only went to the cinema last year to watch Jurassic World. Monsters Dark Continent and The Fantastic Four were however on my list of films to see last year, I really loved the Fantastic Four film from 2005 so I think I'll definitely make time to watch this remake.
I'm not so sure if I want to watch Dark Continent anymore, I think I'll watch the first one again to refresh my memory

Empire's Worst Films of 2014

So once again Empire has made me a very happy bunny by creating their Review of the Year, a massive review of things such as the best and worst films, playlists, posters, characters, trailers and a whole lot more.

I, Frankenstein - My dad has already watched it and he said it wasn't all that bad so I think I'll give it a go. Edit:So I've finally got the chance to watch this film and yeah, I didn't really like it. Demons and gargoyles people, demons and gargoyles.
A New York Winter's Tale
Postman Pat The Movie

Grace of Monaco
Pudsey The Dog: The Movie
A Million Ways to Die in the West

Transcendence - I remember when I first heard about this film, I thought it was going to be really good. Apparently not according to Empire but I think I still want to watch it.
Robocop - I watched this earlier this month and I actually quite liked it. It was a little rubbish in some parts but I still like it.
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie

The Book Thief
Need For Speed
Third Person

Men, Women & Children
The Other Woman
Tammy


Have you seen any films that should be on this list?

30 Movies That Aren't As Bad As You Remember - Part 2

Part 2 of this mega cool article from Total Film on Movies That Aren't As Bad As You Remember.
You can read Part 1 here.

14. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
13. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
12. Waterworld (1995)

Josh Winning makes a good point here about Matrix saying that it set the bar so high that there was no where for it to go but down, although the action still manages to pack a punch. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure this is my favourite Star Wars movie, probably because it's because it was always on TV.

11. Mystery Men (1999)
10. Superman III (1983)
9. Grown Ups (2010)


8. Hulk (2003)
7. Speed Racer (2008)
6. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)

Ah The Hulk my friend we meet again. I talked a teeny bit about it in this Most Hated post but I've been thinking recently that I ought to give it another watch and see how I feel about it now.

5. The Exorcist III (1990)
4. Last Action Hero (1993)
3. Alien3

Okay so this is awful but I haven't seen any of the Exorcist (for good reason) or Aliens films, I have been meaning to watch Alien but as usual I haven't got round to it.
EDIT: I typed this up a few weeks ago and never posted it, but I finally managed to get a chance to watch Alien!

 
2. Plan 9 From Outer Space
1. Superman Returns

22. Jaws! The Revenge (1987)
21. Alone in the Dark (2005)

I've not seen any of these but Jaws! The Revenge is on my list of films to watch, I've seen the other 3 so I might as well watch the last one.

20. Swept Away (2002)
19. Gigli (2003)
18. Dreamcatcher (2003)
17. White Chicks (2004)

Swept Away - Redeeming Feature: The Mediterranean
I still haven't got round to watching this film again but I will when I remember.

White Chicks - Redeeming Feature: Terry Crews I haven't actually seen the whole of White Chicks, I think I've only seen the middle.

15. Catwoman (2004)
14. Disaster Movie (2008)
13. The Avengers (1997)

12. Norbit (2007)
11. Meet The Spartans (2008)

8. The Happening (2008)
7. Sex Lives of The Potato Men (2004)
6. Heaven's Gate (1980)
5. Epic Movie (2007)

The Happening - Redeeming Feature: Creepy Premise. I still agree with what I said about the film in this post about the acting. It was on TV the other day and I realised that every time I watch it the more I love it!

Sex lives of the potato men, really?!

Empire's Worst Ever Movies 6
4. Raise the Titanic (1980)
3. The Love Guru (2008)

Total Films 50 Most Hated Movies Ever Made: Part 2


(by Simon Kinnear for Total Film) Read it here

24. Pearl Harbour (2000)
23. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
22. Battlefield Earth (2000)
21. The Wicker Man (2006)

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, awful just plain awful. I've watched it so many times hoping that it'll finally make sense but I always feel like I've missed something. I wasn't a big fan of the original Wicker Man, it was okay but it isn't something I'd watch again if I had a choice. I've not seen this film but I don't imagine this version being any good

20. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
19. Aliens vs Predator (2004)
18. Highlander 2: The Quickening (1991)
17. Love Actually (2003)

The only one I've seen is X3 and I need someone to explain to me what happened.

16. Hulk (2003)
15. Catwoman (2004)
14. Avatar (2009)
13. Lady In The Water (2006)

Hulk, now this is one I'll always remember. Massive mutated dogs. That is all. Now with Catwoman as awful as it is I actually really love it; and I don't know why because it is really awful.
I really loved Avatar the only downside was that it was way too long for my liking.

12. The Happening (2008)
11. The Last Airbender (2010)
10. Die Another Day (2002)
9. House Of The Dead (2003)

The Happening, I love it! I'm in love with Mark Wahlberg so it had to be watched. I actually thought the story was really interesting, but the acting wasn't very strong in some parts mostly with Zooey Deschanel's character.
Another M. Night Shyamalan film with The Last Airbender. The cartoon was really good so I think everyone (I certainly did) expected the film to deliver... and it didn't. It just felt like it was unfinished, so much more could and should have been done to make it amazing.
Don't hate me I actually really like Die Another Day, I know it's probably the worst Bond film but I really like it especially the opening credits and the theme song by Madonna.

8. Titanic (1997)
7. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (2009)
6. Batman and Robin (1997)
5. Psycho (1998)

Titanic one of the most hated movies ever made? Really?

4. Twilight (2008)
3. Forest Gump (1994)
2. Star Wars Episode 1- The Phantom Menace (1999)
1. Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (2008)

I would have been shocked if Twilight hadn't been on this list. I personally love Twilight, but I can totally see why some people hate it and I agree that they're not the best of films but I don't care.

This list confused me I didn't expect some films to make it on to the list such as Titanic, I just can't believe that out of all the films that have been made Titanic is one of the most hated.

Total Films 50 Most Hated Movies Ever Made: Part 1


(by Simon Kinnear for Total Film)  Read it here

50 Most Hate Films 1
50. Daredevil (2003)
49. Superman Returns (2006)
48. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
47. Teminator Salvation (2009)

I remember watching Daredevil years ago, I don't really remember what happened all I remember was that I didn't like it at all.
With Superman Returns it was alright I just wasn't taken with Brandon Routh's performance, but from what I remember it did quite well and this poster is pretty awesome. I haven't seen the last two but I really don't think Terminator Salvation is hated.

50 Most Hate Films 2
46. Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
45. Halloween (2007)
44. Fantastic Four (2005)
43. Resident Evil (2002)

The only film I've seen in this bunch is Fantastic Four and I loved it and I love Chris Evans too.

50 Most Hate Films 3
42. Jersey Girl (2004)
41. Constantine (2005)
40. Swept Away (2002)
39. Epic Movie (2007)

Out of these for, I've only seen Swept Away and I didn't even watch it properly so I think I'll have to give it another watch. I've only seen Swept Away out of these four and I didn't even watch that properly, I actually want to again but properly this time.

50 Most Hate Films 4
38. Clash Of The Titans (2010)
37. A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)
36. The Matrix Reloaded/The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

Ahh Clash of The Titans, a baby brought up around people with British accents and raised by English parents and yet sounds Australian. That aside I liked the film but it wasn't the greatest.
Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions were awful sequels, such letdowns after the amazing original but then again the sequels business is a tricky one.

35. Godzilla (1998)
34. Van Helsing (2004)
33. The Spirit (2008)
32. Crash (2005)

I actually quite like Godzilla but I feel like it's constantly on TV. Van Helsing I don't really remember apart from it being confusing and just all around strange.
I loved Crash and I thought it was brilliant but apparently it's hated because of it's "over-the-top racism" but that's one of the most important parts of the story.

31. Sucker Punch (2011)
30. Alien Resurrection (1997)
29. Spider-Man 3 (2007)
28. Sex and The City 2 (2010)

I actually really liked Sucker Punch (check out my review here); however the story was confusing and the characters weren't properly developed at all, but the fight sequences were pretty cool.
I never had any interest in watching Sex and the City, not the show or the first film but my sister started watching this one on TV so I thought I would give it a go and it wasn't that bad.

Spider-Man 3 I don't really remember so it's one I'm going to watch again soon.

27. Pirates of The Caribbean: At Worlds End (2007)
26. Planet of The Apes (2001)
25. The Avengers (1998)

I didn't get At World's End at all, I've only watched it once and even though I have the DVD I have no interest in watching it again, although I probally should because I don't actually know what happened. Now Planet of the Apes I loved because I love Mark Wahlberg and that may have been the only reason.

Any films you hate?
Part 2 in the New Year.
