Re: Nominations for WORST BIG BUDGET Moive of All-Time
There are two numbers here to consider
1) (box office gross)/(cost of movie) 2) (enjoyment)/(anticipation level) Throw in the constraint that it has to be ~80 million in current dollars to be a big budget movie. For number 1 it is hard to beat Cutthroat Island (10 million gross/92 million to make). For number 2, it is a toss up between highlander 2, the matrix 2 and the phantom menace. Anyone that high expectations for ATOC was in denial. There probably should also be a category for films that ended actors/directors/studios careers.

Re: Nominations for WORST BIG BUDGET Moive of All-Time
At the time it was made, Waterworld had the biggest budget of all time. I'm not sure that is true of any other film mentioned, the Matrix sequels perhaps?

Re: Nominations for WORST BIG BUDGET Moive of All-Time
I'm grunching about half way through.
1. Someone said "Batman Returns" should be on the list. This man has no taste in movies. Walken's theorem - Any movie starring Christopher Walken cannot by inferrence be any worse than average. You can't argue. It's math. 2. This list needs at least a single criterion for a film to be included. That criterion should probably be "A budget of no less than X" where X is some ridiculously large number. Or maybe "grossed X" where X is some ridiculously large number. Otherwise anyone can name a relatively average-budget movie and say how awful it was (e.g. The Longest Yard), and the poll loses credibility.
