EXCUSE ME?!
I wouldnt call minority report worst of all time, it was just 100% mediocre. nothing it did was paricularly bad, but niether was anything about good either
it was good to look at but the plot was absolutely dire...one of the most dissapointing films i have ever seen just because it was hyped so much...i just expected it to be far more entertaining...it doesnt help that it was one of the few films i actually bought on dvd(i usually only get tv programes in full series box sets...as for cool runnings...just plain old crap...unfunny comedy(bit of an oxymoron if ever there was one)

have u read the book?
nope
There's a book?
there are not any movies that i remember watching that i would say where horrible. there are a few that i would never watch again, but every movie has some appeal to me, otherwise i don't bother watching it
the truest sign of bad taste is not the inability to recognise what is good, but the inability to recognise that which is bad
yeah...and you havent posted a list...so what does that tell us

if i have bad taste it doesn't hurt anyone else. why should i care if you think a movie is bad? if i can set through it that's good enough for me
Titanic
hahaha...which one???
oh, what the hell:
gladiator
matrix reloaded
fight club
enemy of the state
final fantasy
gladiator
matrix reloaded
fight club
enemy of the state
final fantasy
how can you NOT like fight club...its sheer genius
gladiator is crap as is enemy of the state and final fantasy was actually better than i expected it to be(i hate the games by the way...although 7 was reasonable)
you already know my opinion on the matrix

Cabin Fever : Utter Crap X 1000
Whose dick did Cabin Fever Director and Screenwriter Eli Roth have to suck to get Peter Jackson to claim that his horror film was the one that fans had been waiting a decade to attend?
As far as the plot to the film goes, a group of five college students get done with their finals and go off to celebrate at a lonesome cabin out in the woods. For some reason it's fall out there in that forest. I was almost sure most people finished their finals in the spring, but that may be my whacky logic getting in the way of things, yet again.
There is some unknown virus ' Cabin Fever' that infects people. OK i like these new thrillers with diseases but the origin of it is never explained.
There is promise and potential around every corner in this film. It's too bad that the pacing of the movie is abhorrent. You'll find yourself bored, more often than not, while watching what is apparently a "greatest hit" clip.
The end does finally become somewhat of the blood-bonanza promised in the ads, but it's too little too late.
Tension doesn't build throughout the film as much as it turns itself on and off like one of those annoying faucets in restrooms that you have no control over.
Roth throws about 300,000 false-starts our way, but if you've seen more than 20 horror flicks in your life, you're not likely to receive even one good jolt; unless someone sitting behind you has a stun-gun.

Re Cabin Fever
I would have to disagree with you on this one. I do appreciate your lack of return from this film and I am honestly surprised it got a mainstream release. It is a film made by a fan of the great horrors of the seventies and early eighties, one with incredible comprehension of the exploitation genre and low budget grindhouse flick.
Let me lead you on a wee journey of discovery. Yes it has a classic hokey plot, but hey all we want is teens in trouble. The soundtrack is an incredible reuse of the songs from Last House on the Left by Wes Craven.
The film is littered, somewhat literally, with nods to many great films. Early shots are from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the hicks are from Cut and Run. Later shots emulate The Incredible Melting Man, Evil Dead and the cop character is tsraight out of a David Lynch flick. I would say more but the film sget a little more obscure and I haven't managed to get it on DVD, yet.
Not only does Roth manage to capture the flavour of these movies, but is capable of extending the original meaning and use of the conventions, taking them further. Sure the pacing is messed and contrived, but it is spot on to how these exploitation flicks worked, it was like being round a mates wathcing dodgy pirate copies of Video Nasties all over again, but at the cinema. Cool.
I wouild like to hear from other fans of these films and read what they have to say about Cabin Fever. I will write more of an article for the forum when I have my mits on a copy.
As for bad films, hmm lets see....
The Mask
Cabel Guy
Notting Hill
Terminator 3
The Sound of Music
Speed 1 & 2
Judge Dredd
Star Trek Nemesis
Escape from LA
I stick to my opinion and say that it was unappealing, predictable and unoriginal.
In favour all i can say is that this whole "redneck chasing kids through the woods" thing was done far better in this summer's underrated Wrong Turn.
Can anyone explain what's up with the bunny surgeon in the hospital?

I think that the bunny doctor was a nod to Donnie Darko.
I heard from a fellow film-maker that Wrong Turn was an effective movie. Unfortunately missed it at the cinema, thus waiting for the release.

Makeitstop - I wouldnt call minority report worst of all time, it was just 100% mediocre. nothing it did was paricularly bad, but there wasn't anything good about it either
I thought it was a fantastic film. Firstly - lets take a look at the plot - well - it's based on a Phillip.K.Dick novel so do I need to elaborate? Yes? O.k - well it's just so gripping. The opening is fantastic - the way the pre-crime system is explained and the way the philosophical debate on it is put forward - brilliant acting - brilliant dialouge. It reminds me of some of the other great Sci - fi films - Robocop - Bladerunnder - it has those cyberpunk elemments i.e oppressive capitalist forces trying to control human will and pervade our personal lives in new and exiting ways in order to make money - that great scene in the shopping mall when his eyes are being scanned.
When you first find see Cruises face in the pre-cog reading - brilliant - and then he has to get out of the building before they catch on - utter exitement - and he exits in such a stylish way - jumping from car to car.
The film looks amazing - shot with some kind of blue tint which gives it a film noirish quailty that complements the plot well.
All those twists - all that conspiricy - excellent - saying that it does have that sentimental feel that typifies Spielbergs films - but he just about pulls it off. I really feel for the guy as he sits there and watches a hologram of his wife and child whilst filling himself with some kind of weird drug to numb the pain. It gives his character a real edge. Well done Stevo!!!!
