Rocky 5 How can that not be on the list. JEEBUS Though not sure how big of a budget - Stallones salary alone probably makes it as such though. [/ QUOTE ] stallone produced that one, it was low budget rocky...their 2nd lead Tommy Gun was HIV positive so he wouldn't be gettin paid any royalties in the long run. Definitely a -EV role...

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.

Re: Nominations for WORST BIG BUDGET Moive of All-Time
You guys do realize that these are all your personal opinions and the title of "WORST BIG BUDGET FILM" will never be awarded because....you all have different opinions(duh).
I worked in a movie theater for about 3 years and the two films that people walked out of disgusted the most were: Gigli and Vanilla Sky.

There probably should also be a category for films that ended actors/directors/studios careers. [/ QUOTE ] "Hulk" hasn't done Ang Lee's career any favors. It's a good point about "Waterworld" and the amount of money that cost to make.

Re: Nominations for WORST BIG BUDGET Moive of All-Time
I'll have to say waterworld. I remembered how excited I was at the time to see this in the theatre. After watching it, I was like WTF? they paid how much? for this crap?
I haven't seen Battlefield Earth and don't plan to.

While the ratio of .5 is nothing special, losing 87 million in the US does put in a special category. That sad part is that when you through in overseas and rental it made money...

[ QUOTE ] There probably should also be a category for films that ended actors/directors/studios careers. [/ QUOTE ] I remember the supporting actors of "Batman and Robin" (Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone) were all HUGE at the time it came out and the three of them seemed to drop off the map soon after. [/ QUOTE ] I am pretty sure that wins the most talent worst movie award. "Eyes Wide Shut" might be a competitor. How can a movie with a naked Nicole Kidman have been so bad?

You can't argue. It's math. [/ QUOTE ] This is an excellent rule of thumb for moviegoing. I'd also add: 1) If a film has a nun in it, it's a good one (sister act + sister act 2 are the exceptions) 2) Any films with ships with sails are good (pirates, vikings, sinbad etc). (Cuttthroat Island and though I hate to say it 'pirates' (Polanksi one) being the exceptions)
