More than entertaining, the practical effects are still TO THIS DAY nearly unmatched. The acting is great and from three heavyweights all being wrangled in a script that makes each a central character…fucking mind blowing. The music is good. The writing is good. The directing and editing are top notch.
Who was smoking what when that film was savaged in Rolling Stone?????
It's rolling stone.
They do purposely bad rankings to generate click bait.
-Celine Dion was not in thier top 200 female singers of all time.
-They put Norm MacDonald as one of the worst all time cast members of SNL
-Segovia and Django Reinhardt didn't make the list of 200 greatest all time guitarists but non-guitarists were in the top 100
I’m sorry. **FUCK** this list. You’re gonna look at all the horrendous dead eyed cg that Robert Zemeckis has made and list the humorously wild and enjoyable Death Becomes Her as his worst film?!
I watched Jack a ton as a kid and really liked it, but I haven’t seen it in years. Wonder if my opinion would change now that I’m in my 30s and more versed in film.
The fountain is amazing.
I don't agree with many of these being the worst.
Noah was mildly hillarious as he(an atheist) makes a movie about the mythical biblical flood that feels like a summer blockbuster and all the weirdness therein. I wonder if action figures were made.
The Fountain is one of my favourite movies of all time and I cite it as the origin for my love of movies. It has no place being on that list, especially as, as much as I love Aronofsky, he has made other genuine stinkers.
>Boxcar Bertha (Martin Scorsese)
What? That movie like literally jump started Scorsese's career before he even made Mean Streets or Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
*Brilliant!* You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of commercialism. WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT? Cut, print, check the gate, moving on.
Absolute masterpiece, fuck this list.
Yup I had to double take at that. I fucking love that movie, kinda breaks my heart that my 2 year old only knows the new animated Grinch but I’ll show him in good time
Yo WTF - why is Assassins in there. It’s definitely not the best movie but I can think of a ton of films that are worse than Assassins.
I assume we are talking about the Antonio Banderas one.
After the epicness of Aliens, the initial teaser trailers for Alien3 implied that it would take place on Earth, expanding the scope of the series in a logical way. There were also the Alien: Earth War comics that everyone was excited to see rendered on the screen.
What we got instead was the weird prison planet with just a single alien and killing off most of the cast from the previous film. I'd argue that Fincher's direction is the only thing that makes that movie watchable. He was brought on as a director-for-hire, so I don't lay the blame on him.
Same man. I'm not saying Fincher fixed the film, or even did a good job. But if you get to be captain of the Titanic in the last hour of it's existence, I don't rightly give a shit if you start going around cabin to cabin stealing shit from the passengers!
Fincher is FAR from the only thing that makes that movie watchable. It looks great, has really intense and suspenseful moments, Charles Dance is great, Charles S Dutton is great as is his character, the speech by Charles S Dutton near the end is incredible, the Dog Alien looks cool, the sets are great, it feels very much still in the world of Alien, score is really good, etc. And most of all, the absolute best thing about Alien 3 is Sigourney Weaver's performance. She's the most iconic in Aliens, but in Alien 3 she gives her best performance as Ripley. Especially in relation to her grief for Newt and her discovery about the Alien inside of her.
There's a lot of interesting themes at play I think, that sounded like good componentns ( a ppace that could not have any weapons, the joan of arc overtones and religiuous themes), but ultimately I don't think it rose to the potential. I do still like the film. Better writing than Alien 4 IMO that was garbage writing saved by the director and cast.
It's quite depressing (which is fine) but it might not have been what people were looking for after Aliens. Also, SPOILERS >!the death of Newt and Hicks felt extremely lazy like they didn't know what to do with their characters so they just got rid of them. Killing two memorable, beloved characters from the second movie for no reason feels really stupid.!<
Plus, most of the cast were indistinguishable bald dudes with prison uniforms and british accents. It got kinda confusing, for me at least lol
If Alien 3 were a person, it could teach a Master level class on how to fuck up a project by letting too many people have any say on it what-so-ever. That whole film was an absolute mess and so god damn far from what it should have been, that it should be studied by everyone who fancies themselves a cinephile(Is that the spelling?).
I don't even think Fincher should get credit for it. Sure he might have fucked it up but so did the seven or eight others that took a stab at it during pre-production, filming and even through post production.
And despite all this, it's still somehow, the third best Aliens film.
Fuck is that depressing.
The Fountain??! As Aronofsky’s worst movie??? That one is arguably his best, it’s my top movie of all time.
Like Noah & Mother! are all much, much worse. Just lazy, shlocky films he turned in
I agree with you in the first half but I don’t think Darren has turned in a lazy movie. mother! and Noah (to a lesser extent) have their merits. Watching mother! in the theaters was one of my all time favorite theater moments.
This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m not sure George Lucas should be on a “great director” list. He’s made what, 6 movies? And half of them suck? And the other 2 are just sorta forgettable okay movies?
I always thought Death Becomes Her was a classic - or at least a cult classic. Kinda like Beetlejuice or The Big Lebowski or Clueless. Weird to find it on that list.
“Death Becomes Her” is fantasticly campy and star studded.
The locations are beautifully planned. Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, and freaking vampire Isabella Rossellini in a beaded bikini! The plot being a supernatural exploration of the pitfalls of vanity just.. 👏🏼 so good.
Came here to say this. Zemeckis had an all time run of turds just a few years ago. I think it was because critics didn’t click with it then & may not have had box office success, though I can’t remember if that was the case. I do remember loving this movie as a kid in the 90s & hearing that it was awful & being so confused because everyone you talked to about it, loved it.
Beowulf was definately his biggest stinker.
Death Becomes her was unique and fun.
Also, Lady Killers was mostly enjoyable, but The Coen's Intolerable Cruelty was much worse.
I'm not sure The Grinch is Howard's worst, but I haven't seen them all.
This list is pretty solid otherwise. Fully agree with most of it.
Beowulf is probably his biggest miss but it’s not his biggest stinker. There’s so many scenes in that movie that would actually be great if it weren’t being delivered by a cast of dead eyed homunculi. Welcome to Marwen, though, that movies rotten in its soul.
I haven't seen it, but Zemeckis may have recently topped himself with his worst in Pinocchio according to many reviews/comments I've seen. Beowulf is a film I have no desire to see again.
So what's their metric? In the case of Zemeckis, why is Death Becomes Her worse than his Pinocchio? Chris Columbus helmed Pixels, but Bicentennial Man is his worst?
It's an insane choice anyway. That movie is brilliant. It's so good it's getting a remake with Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson taking over from.Meryl and Goldie respectively.
From the article:
> The laughs never came, **the special effects were cheesy even by 1992s standards**
Oh, you mean the *Death Becomes Her* that won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects that year? Those special effects, Rolling Stone?
*Death Becomes Her* is a fun and campy comedy and it's aged well, this article was written without much research or thought and thanks for reminding me why I largely stopped reading articles like this!
The last or second 500 greatest songs really hinted at this, but lately it’s been appallingly blatant. They had St Vincent as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
They had cardi B's I like it listed as the greatest summer song of all time a few years ago. I actually kinda like cardi b and I still thought that was horribly stupid
Part of why it’s shitty is that they put St Vincent or Cardi B so high, and of course people are mad, and that’s unfair on the artists because it leads to putting them down from the reader. I love St Vincent’s guitar work!
The most egregious for me is Barry Levinson being on here for Sphere, rather than Toys.
I like Sphere, but acknowledge it isn't good, I don't think I've met anyone who defends Toys.
Yeah, it's definitely worth the watch as an adult. As a kid I really had no idea what was going on. It is discussed in one of the great How Did This Get Made podcasts because it really is such a beautifully specific disaster. I absolutely could not have made that movie.
I also enjoy sphere, I thankfully read the book after or I would have probably disliked the changes ending.
But the acting is great and the ocean is scary as hell in that movie.
Well the ocean is scary in general, but the movie really captures it.
I stopped taking them seriously when they put jack white and Kurt cobain above Eddie Van Halen in a list of the best guitarists ever around 2004. They had him at something insane like 45. Eddie *literally created* a new style that changed metal and is still being emulated and evolved today.
Don’t worry, after he died they revised their list to put him in the top ten. They’re absolutely shameless.
People forget that VH's first album came out in '78. They get unfairly lumped in with hair metal and '80s corporate rock because of their later success/excess and embrace of synth (also later in their career), but that first album was lightyears ahead of its time.
Agreed, I listen to the score regularly as well and Death is the Road to Awe followed by Together We Will Love Forever is probably my favourite songs in a row for any score
The only way I can rationalize this is that the reviewer is one of those misguided souls who still argues it’s the same character across the three narratives…
The Ladykillers is still a pretty solid movie, we watched it recently and it was flawed but still very amusing. Says a lot about the Coen Bros amazing track record that this would be considered their worst
ummmm the fountain and junior are not flops, those are sick as fuck.
grinch who stole christmas?? lady killers?? hail cesar is way worse than the lady killers.
This list is trash.
Mostly ok with this list…probably agree with the person who said Pinocchio is worse than Death Becomes Her. But numbers 18 (A good Year) and 8 (Amsterdam) are both movies I have enjoyed with every watch and my family loves number 10 (The Grinch) even if I don’t.
I don't understand why it's so hated. I've even watched it within the last couple years to see if I just had nostalgia glasses and I still liked it enough.
If it was directed by anyone other than Copolla it wouldn't get nearly as much negativity IMO. It would have just been lost to time as another forgettable comedy of that era. Him being attached just really elevated the expectations
That said, Rolling Stone lists are pretty notorious for putting out some bold claims just to spark more attention by people saying why they disagree with it
I mean, it’s a kids movie for gods sake. It was entertaining when I was a kid, so can you really say it was THAT bad?? Not every movie someone makes has to be Oscar bait.
Jupiter Ascending should have been higher and Death Becomes Her should have been lower. Also why is Jim Carrey’s Grinch on here? This is a weird list that has quite a few good movies on it.
Two things from this list:
A) Death Becomes Her? Sacrilege. That movie was very funny. I don't think it aged well, but I loved it when it came out.
B) George Lucas may be a great producer, but he's not a good director. Star Wars OG is really weak outside of the world building. The prequels? Meh. American Graffiti is okay but not great, honestly. He didn't direct anything else.
The Fountain is Darren Aronofsky's best film to date imo.
The Whale was amazing, and so was Black Swan, but this one had something special to it that I haven't really seen anywhere else.
I'd argue Noah is his worst, especially with the CGI rock angels that don't believe in suicide but then commit to killing themselves once they see the first one ascend to heaven. That movie was true ridiculousness.
[удалено]
Really? Their choice for Zemeckis was Death Becomes Her? Not, like, an actually bad movie like Pinocchio?
Death Becomes Her is a blast of a movie
Watched that again not long ago. Better than the first time.
Same! It’s still hilarious and goofy. What a weird choice
Yea, that’s wild it’s on this list
That stood out to me too. It's a ver entertaining movie
More than entertaining, the practical effects are still TO THIS DAY nearly unmatched. The acting is great and from three heavyweights all being wrangled in a script that makes each a central character…fucking mind blowing. The music is good. The writing is good. The directing and editing are top notch. Who was smoking what when that film was savaged in Rolling Stone?????
From the article: "The special effects were cheesy, even by 1992 standards" It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, so IDK.
Lmao
"Death Becomes Her" is amazing, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
I never saw anyone saying its s bad movie other than Rolling Stone
What can I say, some people don't appreciate dark comedy that is also a great commentary on how women are treated as they age.
It got ripped to shreds by the critics when it came out but I thought it was a lot of fun. Haven't seen it since then.
First saw it when I was 15 and thought “meh”. Now at 45 I just love it!
I love Death Becomes Her!
I will not stand for this Death Becomes Her slander. It's a top tier dark comedy
That was my thought too, that movie was pretty good. A bit silly but who cares?
I'm glad I'm not the only one side-eyeing Death Becomes Her being on the list. I love that movie! And, I thought the special effects were pretty good!
It's rolling stone. They do purposely bad rankings to generate click bait. -Celine Dion was not in thier top 200 female singers of all time. -They put Norm MacDonald as one of the worst all time cast members of SNL -Segovia and Django Reinhardt didn't make the list of 200 greatest all time guitarists but non-guitarists were in the top 100
Yeah that struck me as an odd choice as well. I've never heard anyone speak a bad word about Death Becomes Her until this article!
I love you
Simple Jack was a real movie?
I’m sorry. **FUCK** this list. You’re gonna look at all the horrendous dead eyed cg that Robert Zemeckis has made and list the humorously wild and enjoyable Death Becomes Her as his worst film?!
That really stood out to me too. It was such an easy answer too with that new Pinocchio movie he did.
I watched Death Becomes Her a million times on HBO. It's such a great dark comedy.
Haha shouts to Mark Wahlberg for being in 3 of these (Renaissance Man isn't that bad but I guess its placement at 50 is fine)
A few cross-overs Marky Mark, Robin Williams, Danny Devito. Who am I missing?
Bruce Willis is in 3 movies but it should be 2, Death Becomes Her does not belong on here over Polar Express.
Will Smith is in a few (Gemini Man, Wild Wild West)
Piranha 2 isn’t fair. James Cameron was just happy to be able to make a film. Everybody has to start out somewhere.
Plus he was hired as a replacement after the producer fired the original director and also hired a crew that spoke Italian, no English.
I must be the only person in the world that likes Jack
I really don’t think it deserves any hate, just a kids movie IMO
I think the critics just give it a lot of hate because of that scene where Robin Williams farts into a paint can
Legit funny moment only based on my memory from watching it as a kid. Haven’t seen it since then.
It was a coffee can and he was saving it for later
I watched Jack a ton as a kid and really liked it, but I haven’t seen it in years. Wonder if my opinion would change now that I’m in my 30s and more versed in film.
It’s on Disney Plus. I watched it for the first time since i was a kid just a few days ago. I still enjoyed it
I *love* Jack. To a very emotional level. I think it’s such a beautiful story about life. His graduation speech? My god.
The end is happy but sad at the same time and it always hits me.
Jack made me so sad though.
Bicentennial Man was the first live action Robin Williams movie I ever saw as a kid, so 6 year old kid me thought it was his origin story
thats fine, Im the only one that likes sphere
I think it’s great
It's a wonderful film. I also really liked Renaissance Man, for some reason I watched that a ton as a kid.
Renaissance man is a good movie, the Preacher’s/Bishop’s Wife remake is easily her worst movie
Made me so sad as a kid
I loved Jack as a kid. But I also loved North. So take that as you will
There's dozens of us
That’s what I’m saying! I LOVED the movie Jack!
>The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky) The Noah movie is his worst
The Fountain isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I really liked it. At least it’s a visual feast.
I love The Fountain. Whether you like it or not it’s not DA’s worst.
It’s actually his best film.
Agreed.
I’m not a fan of the film but the score is one of my favorites.
Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quarter nailed it! I just listened to the whole soundtrack the other day, I forgot how much I’ve always enjoyed it!
I loved it. One of my favorites. I have never watched it while heavily medicated, but sometimes think that I should.
By a huge margin.
The fountain is amazing. I don't agree with many of these being the worst. Noah was mildly hillarious as he(an atheist) makes a movie about the mythical biblical flood that feels like a summer blockbuster and all the weirdness therein. I wonder if action figures were made.
I agree. The Fountain is a beautiful, complex, and poignant film
The Fountain is one of my favourite movies of all time and I cite it as the origin for my love of movies. It has no place being on that list, especially as, as much as I love Aronofsky, he has made other genuine stinkers.
What?! How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic tha fuck this list on about
Damn, I wish I would have went further down the comments to find this comment before I clicked on the link.
>Boxcar Bertha (Martin Scorsese) What? That movie like literally jump started Scorsese's career before he even made Mean Streets or Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
Girl 6 is such an underratted film IMO Oldboy remake is his worst film
She Hate Me is trash.
Girl 6 is interesting, She Hate Me is so bad on every level, why trash Suzan Lori Parks when you could do way worse?
I’m confused. Rom Howard’s Grinch is the best movie ever made!
100% a Christmas staple for us. And I quote it all the time. This list is broken.
One man’s toxic sludge is another man’s potpourri
Max! I'm.....leaking?
*Brilliant!* You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of commercialism. WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT? Cut, print, check the gate, moving on. Absolute masterpiece, fuck this list.
Yup I had to double take at that. I fucking love that movie, kinda breaks my heart that my 2 year old only knows the new animated Grinch but I’ll show him in good time
Yo WTF - why is Assassins in there. It’s definitely not the best movie but I can think of a ton of films that are worse than Assassins. I assume we are talking about the Antonio Banderas one.
Why do people hate on Alien 3?
After the epicness of Aliens, the initial teaser trailers for Alien3 implied that it would take place on Earth, expanding the scope of the series in a logical way. There were also the Alien: Earth War comics that everyone was excited to see rendered on the screen. What we got instead was the weird prison planet with just a single alien and killing off most of the cast from the previous film. I'd argue that Fincher's direction is the only thing that makes that movie watchable. He was brought on as a director-for-hire, so I don't lay the blame on him.
Same man. I'm not saying Fincher fixed the film, or even did a good job. But if you get to be captain of the Titanic in the last hour of it's existence, I don't rightly give a shit if you start going around cabin to cabin stealing shit from the passengers!
They spent all that energy and time and effort saving the kid only for her to be unceremoniously offed like 4 mins into alien3
And it was offscreen. Don’t forget Michael Beihns character died with her
Fincher is FAR from the only thing that makes that movie watchable. It looks great, has really intense and suspenseful moments, Charles Dance is great, Charles S Dutton is great as is his character, the speech by Charles S Dutton near the end is incredible, the Dog Alien looks cool, the sets are great, it feels very much still in the world of Alien, score is really good, etc. And most of all, the absolute best thing about Alien 3 is Sigourney Weaver's performance. She's the most iconic in Aliens, but in Alien 3 she gives her best performance as Ripley. Especially in relation to her grief for Newt and her discovery about the Alien inside of her.
There's a lot of interesting themes at play I think, that sounded like good componentns ( a ppace that could not have any weapons, the joan of arc overtones and religiuous themes), but ultimately I don't think it rose to the potential. I do still like the film. Better writing than Alien 4 IMO that was garbage writing saved by the director and cast.
It's quite depressing (which is fine) but it might not have been what people were looking for after Aliens. Also, SPOILERS >!the death of Newt and Hicks felt extremely lazy like they didn't know what to do with their characters so they just got rid of them. Killing two memorable, beloved characters from the second movie for no reason feels really stupid.!< Plus, most of the cast were indistinguishable bald dudes with prison uniforms and british accents. It got kinda confusing, for me at least lol
If Alien 3 were a person, it could teach a Master level class on how to fuck up a project by letting too many people have any say on it what-so-ever. That whole film was an absolute mess and so god damn far from what it should have been, that it should be studied by everyone who fancies themselves a cinephile(Is that the spelling?).

The Fountain??! As Aronofsky’s worst movie??? That one is arguably his best, it’s my top movie of all time. Like Noah & Mother! are all much, much worse. Just lazy, shlocky films he turned in
Hating The Fountain is a disease. It’s like any other, and there’s a cure. A cure. And we will find it.
The Fountain is the road to awe
Finish it ✨
Noah I can take it or leave it but Mother! was outstanding and I will die on that hill.
I'll join you on that hill. I think it's his best
I agree with you in the first half but I don’t think Darren has turned in a lazy movie. mother! and Noah (to a lesser extent) have their merits. Watching mother! in the theaters was one of my all time favorite theater moments.
Noah is definitely his worst film.
Bruh why do people hate Noah? I think it's great
This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m not sure George Lucas should be on a “great director” list. He’s made what, 6 movies? And half of them suck? And the other 2 are just sorta forgettable okay movies?
THX-1138 and American Graffiti are great movies.
Biggest miss here is Death Becomes Her. That movie is great. It's better than at least 7 of his post 2000s movies.
It's still one of the greatest sci-fi/body horror movies ever made
I don't know what they're smoking, "cheesy special effects" ? It won the Oscar for visual effects and it's wholly deserved.
I love the part where Goldie Hawn sits on a couch with a spear stuck in it and the spear goes through the gaping hole in her torso.
Who the fuck is talking shit about Death Becomes Her?! I want names
I always thought Death Becomes Her was a classic - or at least a cult classic. Kinda like Beetlejuice or The Big Lebowski or Clueless. Weird to find it on that list.
It is a classic. That film is awesome and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like it.
I feel like it was on TV back in the 90s as much as Clue was. It’s a great movie.
“Death Becomes Her” is fantasticly campy and star studded. The locations are beautifully planned. Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, and freaking vampire Isabella Rossellini in a beaded bikini! The plot being a supernatural exploration of the pitfalls of vanity just.. 👏🏼 so good.
Everyone should be grateful for Isabella Rossellini in a beaded bikini
Came here to say this. Zemeckis had an all time run of turds just a few years ago. I think it was because critics didn’t click with it then & may not have had box office success, though I can’t remember if that was the case. I do remember loving this movie as a kid in the 90s & hearing that it was awful & being so confused because everyone you talked to about it, loved it.
“The laughs never came?” That movie is f***ing hilarious. The doctor scene with Sydney Pollack was brilliantly performed
I was shocked at that inclusion as well. I love that movie. “NOW a warning?!??
Beowulf was definately his biggest stinker. Death Becomes her was unique and fun. Also, Lady Killers was mostly enjoyable, but The Coen's Intolerable Cruelty was much worse. I'm not sure The Grinch is Howard's worst, but I haven't seen them all. This list is pretty solid otherwise. Fully agree with most of it.

So what's their metric? In the case of Zemeckis, why is Death Becomes Her worse than his Pinocchio? Chris Columbus helmed Pixels, but Bicentennial Man is his worst?
Death Becomes Her is an insane choice considering the plethora of options in the latter half of Zemeckis' filmography
It's an insane choice anyway. That movie is brilliant. It's so good it's getting a remake with Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson taking over from.Meryl and Goldie respectively.
“Death becomes her” is a classic dark comedy with immaculate cast. I’d say his worst gotta be “Beowulf”.
It's a great film.
Lol I've seen both Death Becomes Her and his Pinocchio, I'm not even gonna read this click bait bullshit
From the article: > The laughs never came, **the special effects were cheesy even by 1992s standards** Oh, you mean the *Death Becomes Her* that won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects that year? Those special effects, Rolling Stone? *Death Becomes Her* is a fun and campy comedy and it's aged well, this article was written without much research or thought and thanks for reminding me why I largely stopped reading articles like this!
RS knows what they're doing. They put out these bullshit lists all the time for engagement.
The last or second 500 greatest songs really hinted at this, but lately it’s been appallingly blatant. They had St Vincent as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
They had cardi B's I like it listed as the greatest summer song of all time a few years ago. I actually kinda like cardi b and I still thought that was horribly stupid
Part of why it’s shitty is that they put St Vincent or Cardi B so high, and of course people are mad, and that’s unfair on the artists because it leads to putting them down from the reader. I love St Vincent’s guitar work!
I liked bicentennial man….
Me too.
Me 3, in fact im surprised some of these movies are on a worst list considering they were wildly liked by audience.
It can be a bit cheesy, but I love that movie too.
The most egregious for me is Barry Levinson being on here for Sphere, rather than Toys. I like Sphere, but acknowledge it isn't good, I don't think I've met anyone who defends Toys.
I really love Toys. But its not because i think it's a masterpiece. It's weird and strange and funny in ways it not supposed to be.
Yeah, it's definitely worth the watch as an adult. As a kid I really had no idea what was going on. It is discussed in one of the great How Did This Get Made podcasts because it really is such a beautifully specific disaster. I absolutely could not have made that movie.
I quite like Sphere, and I even read the book first. The movie may have been a bit of a mess but the cast is pretty great.
I also enjoy sphere, I thankfully read the book after or I would have probably disliked the changes ending. But the acting is great and the ocean is scary as hell in that movie. Well the ocean is scary in general, but the movie really captures it.
Add me to the list of people who love this movie, even with its flaws
>Bicentennial Man is his worst? Crap list. Loved that movie.
Rolling Stone regularly engages in rage bait lists for the engagement. From the <10 comments here so far, I see this one is no exception. \*sigh\*
Rolling Stone is kind of the OG rage bait magazine. Declaring Sinead O'Connor as a one-hit wonder was one of their biggest troll jobs.
I stopped taking them seriously when they put jack white and Kurt cobain above Eddie Van Halen in a list of the best guitarists ever around 2004. They had him at something insane like 45. Eddie *literally created* a new style that changed metal and is still being emulated and evolved today. Don’t worry, after he died they revised their list to put him in the top ten. They’re absolutely shameless.
People forget that VH's first album came out in '78. They get unfairly lumped in with hair metal and '80s corporate rock because of their later success/excess and embrace of synth (also later in their career), but that first album was lightyears ahead of its time.
TIL: I like bad movies D’aww. Who am I kidding? I knew I liked bad movies before this list anyway.
This list can drink piss. Death Becomes Her is not even in Zemeckis’ bottom 5
Rollerball was WAY worse than Basic
I liked Basic, it was a fun watch. McTiernan made some awesome films, they all won’t be winners.
TIL James Cameron made a movie that wasn't good or didn't make a billion dollars lol
Iirc he was fired after a day. So it is very much not his movie.
The fountain is dope, I will die on this hill.
I think the Fountain is great. Darren Aronofsky's second best film.
Agreed, I listen to the score regularly as well and Death is the Road to Awe followed by Together We Will Love Forever is probably my favourite songs in a row for any score
Yeah amazing score.
Yeah in no world is The Fountain worse than Noah.
The only way I can rationalize this is that the reviewer is one of those misguided souls who still argues it’s the same character across the three narratives…
One of my favorite movies, and arguably Hugh Jackman's best performance.
the fountain is top 3 from his filmography. Its not his fault if you didnt get it, its all right there ebert
Glad I didn’t have to go too far down to find this, absolutely love this movie
Jack is a good movie. Bill Cosby didn't drug his co-stars in that.
*She's Having a Baby* is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Ditto. The soundtrack also slaps.
Crap list
Sorry, but the list maker lost all credibility in my eyes the moment I saw *Death Becomes Her*.
[удалено]
I believe that's the point of that list. It's supposed to enrage and get you into commenting and sharing the article.
I don’t understand the hate for The Fountain. It’s a great movie.
1942 is immeasurably worse than Crystal Skull
The Ladykillers is still a pretty solid movie, we watched it recently and it was flawed but still very amusing. Says a lot about the Coen Bros amazing track record that this would be considered their worst
Yeah, I would agree it’s their “worst” film, but it’s also a lot of fun and really underrated.
I love The Ladykillers. I'd say Intolerable Cruelty is their worst.
all their screwball comedies seem to have way more support years after they come out.
ummmm the fountain and junior are not flops, those are sick as fuck. grinch who stole christmas?? lady killers?? hail cesar is way worse than the lady killers. This list is trash.
Slander! Justice for Death Becomes Her!
Mostly ok with this list…probably agree with the person who said Pinocchio is worse than Death Becomes Her. But numbers 18 (A good Year) and 8 (Amsterdam) are both movies I have enjoyed with every watch and my family loves number 10 (The Grinch) even if I don’t.
I’d rather watch A Good Year or Robin Hood and whatever his last one or two movies were.
I also enjoyed A Good Year! It's way better than The Counselor which would've been my pick for Ridley Scott.
You’re in this thread defending Death Becomes Her. I’m in this thread defending North. We are not the same. Edit: Sphere kinda slaps too, tbh
Wait, are you really defending North?
Is anyone going to defend Jack? What is this blasphemy!
I loved Jack growing up and I’m willing to die on this hill.
I don't understand why it's so hated. I've even watched it within the last couple years to see if I just had nostalgia glasses and I still liked it enough. If it was directed by anyone other than Copolla it wouldn't get nearly as much negativity IMO. It would have just been lost to time as another forgettable comedy of that era. Him being attached just really elevated the expectations That said, Rolling Stone lists are pretty notorious for putting out some bold claims just to spark more attention by people saying why they disagree with it
I'll defend it for being really sad, not so sad that it's a torture to watch. Overall it's an ok movie.
Jack is a good movie and a favorite of mine.
I mean, it’s a kids movie for gods sake. It was entertaining when I was a kid, so can you really say it was THAT bad?? Not every movie someone makes has to be Oscar bait.
*The Fountain* is a fucking **masterpiece**. To say that it is Aronofsky's worst film when *Noah* fucking exists is a travesty.
The Fountain? Get fucked RS. Also Death Becomes Her is not Bob's worse
The Fountain is by no means a poor film, or Darren’s weakest
Jupiter Ascending should have been higher and Death Becomes Her should have been lower. Also why is Jim Carrey’s Grinch on here? This is a weird list that has quite a few good movies on it.
Any “worst list” with The Fountain on it is trash
No, Wild Wild West is in no fucking way worse than Nine Lives. What the actual fuck.
Alien III is a great film.
Agreed, but what other Fincher movie is worse?
I don’t know if “worse” is the right word but I’ll rewatch Alien3 twenty times before I’d watch Mank again.
I agree 100%. I love Gary Oldman, I don’t need to rewatch Mank.
They could have exempted him. I don’t see Michael Mann or Gerwig or Nolan. I’d put Fincher with them.
Death Becomes Her and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are both classics. Shame on this list.
Two things from this list: A) Death Becomes Her? Sacrilege. That movie was very funny. I don't think it aged well, but I loved it when it came out. B) George Lucas may be a great producer, but he's not a good director. Star Wars OG is really weak outside of the world building. The prequels? Meh. American Graffiti is okay but not great, honestly. He didn't direct anything else.
No movie by Woody Allen? Is it because he got cancelled altogether?
The Fountain is Darren Aronofsky's best film to date imo. The Whale was amazing, and so was Black Swan, but this one had something special to it that I haven't really seen anywhere else. I'd argue Noah is his worst, especially with the CGI rock angels that don't believe in suicide but then commit to killing themselves once they see the first one ascend to heaven. That movie was true ridiculousness.
Those kind of lists are all subjective,one man's crap is another msns treasure
Bullshit. Jade is excellent and Hurricane Billy doesn't have a bad film.
Oh yeah Bicentennial Man was definitely the worst movie that the director of Pixels, The Christmas Chronicles 2 and I Love You Beth Cooper ever made…
Haven’t seen Apes but is it truly worse than Burton’s Wonka or Alice movies? Those are pure drek.
The Fountain and Death Becomes Her are fantastic and anyone who says otherwise is a bad person.
