For those saying "Why isn't such and such on the list?", the list is based on the Tomatometer percentage that the movie recieved, which is a percentage of positive reviews v negative reviews.

Basically, all the listed films had 7% or less of critics give it a 2.5/5

Yah, but why didn't the critics recognize that "Speed Racer" was so godawful I couldn't get through the first 15 minutes?

Jesus, that was awful.

In retrospect its really tough to cram all of that garbage into a list limited to 100.

How was that terrible? It was completely hilarious. If you were expecting anything else, you might be disappointed, but the comedy of the entire situation was what made the movie.

I have seen about 6 or 7 of those movies. Most were as a result of my wife renting/buying romantic comedy type flicks, but the 2 highest on the list were both movies my best friend invited me to go see in the theater.

Texas Rangers: We went a week after it opened, and 3 of us were the ONLY people in the theater. I didn't find it really bad.

Balistic: Ecks vs Sever : This is honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. Crazy explosions for no reason, confusing to non existent plot in many places. Even Lucy Liu in black leather couldn't redeem enough of this movie that I would buy it for 2 bucks from a Wal Mart bargain bin.

All I've seen from that list are:
- 88 Minutes
- The Master of Disguise (Stupid 7 year old kids I had to babysit)

Balistic: Ecks vs Sever : This is honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. Crazy explosions for no reason, confusing to non existent plot in many places. Even Lucy Liu in black leather couldn't redeem enough of this movie that I would buy it for 2 bucks from a Wal Mart bargain bin.
So...it's Shoot-em-up minus the cute jokes at the genre? That doesn't sound too bad.

How did they draw out super slow motion in the graphic novel? DID THEY WRITE EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPITALS TO EXPRESS THE CONSTANT YELLING OF ALL THE SPARTANS?!!!?! USE LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!?

Whenever I think of it, I can't help but wonder what type of lens cleaning devices they had on those cameras with the amount of spittle that must have been flying through the air while taping. Do they have windshield wipers for camera lens'?

You can make your claims but it was clearly a better than average film that borders on epic!!1!

Its a joke man, I'm bugging Yeah Baby because 'The Watchmen' sucked ass testicles and every idiot thinks that if you didnt like popular move 'x' its because you're too dense to 'get it.'

I wouldn't call Watchmen a 'popular' movie Locke.

88 Minutes and Christmas with the Kranks. I read the book, so I watched the movie. Wasn't that bad really.

And yet Sex and the City escapes the list. That movie to me is equivalent to any movie with Larry the Cable Guy in it.

Fortunately I dumped the girl that made me watch it as payback for her watching a movie of my choice.

Sadly 21 of those movies have passed through my work. With us holding down the coveted #1 spot.
