Top five worst movies ever...

1. The Hottie and the Nottie - Paris Hilton is a waste of life.

2. On Deadly Ground - Steven Segal. Nuff said.

3. From Justin to Kelly - when American Idol singers try to act

4. Freddy Got Fingered - Tom Green is funny?

5. Gigli - who's J Lo?

1. Pootie Tang- I love you Chris Rock but you shouldn't make movies when you're high

2. The Hills Have Eyes

3. Strays- HOW this bunch of tripe ever "made" Vin Diesel I will never know

4. Children of the Corn

5. I haven't seen the Paris movie but I agree without even watching

Hey, Don Quixote- you sat through that crap?????

Shit...I like almost every movie listed so far!!! Hills Have Eyes was AWESOME!!! without a doubt the best of the horror remakes, and has a legendary breast milk rape scene. Pootie Tang is my third favorite comedy of all time!

Man, you guys don't know what's out there. watch 10-20 really bad direct to video movies a week. I don't even have a frame of referrence any more...

Off the top of my head, the five worst I have seen are:

1) Teenagers From Uranus - What I thought was a bad sci-fi spoof turned out to be more of a bad Jackass cash in. Almost unwatchable.

2) Bloods Vs. Wolves - A urban direct to video film to cash in on Underworld. Not a bad idea...but horribly, horribly boring.

3) Mammoth - Sci-Fi channel movie had an awsome video store box, but never delivers tha Mamoth going crazy and trashing stuff. Instead, we get Summer Gleu (Sarah Conner Chronicles) coming to terms with her father Tom Skeritt. The term Mammoth has come to be used amoung my friends as a way to designate a ridiculously bad movie...

4) Violent Shit - I got this because of the title. A german gore video shot in the most obnioxious Toaster effect you can imagine. Suprisingly, Violent Shit 2 is not bad and Violent Shit 3 is actually really good...and the director has since gone on to do lots of cool German movies. So there is proof this crap eventually leads somehwhere.

5) The Pest - for some reason, I really, really hate John Leguizzamo...and this is by the far the worst I have ever seen him.

As you can see...I am a fan of "bad" movies. Me and my friends have bad movie parties all the time, and I watch them a lot on my own as well. There is something magically about a truly absurd, really deranged, mislead bad movie.

I am in a ton of bad movies just so you know. I look forward to my next!

Dude, I am not talking about the REMAKE of "Hills". I am talking about the ORIGINAL. And FYI- Even Chris Rock makes fun of himself for making "Pootie Tang". I heard it direct from the horse's mouth. He KNOWS it sucked!

The original Hills is great as well...Michael Berryman is one of my favorite actors!!

I know Rock hates Pooty Tang...but I thought it was surrealiic genius!!! I mean...the whole movie was the clip he brought in to that talk show!!

A friend of mine worked on Head of State, and talked to Rock about Pooty Tang. Rock was scarred when he found out my friend had seen it 6 or 7 times!

I'm actually not a Chris Rock fan at all. I haven't liked any of his other movies, and his SNL stuff was funny back when, but didn't age well. Actually, I never considered Pooty Tang a Rock movie...I always thought of it as a Louis CK movie.

HOW can you watch "Bring the Pain" and "Bigger and Blacker" and NOT die laughing? I mean, come ON!!!

I do like Chris Rock in Kevin Smith's movies...I forgot about those. And like I said I liked him on SNL back when, just thought it didn't age well at all.

What stand-up I've seen of his (I think it was Bigger and Blacker) struck me as social comentary style comedy, which I have never really cared for. i like more just non-sequiter weirdness...which Pootie ang had LOADS of!

Sada-tay!

His style is WHY he is so good. He takes regular life and makes it funny. Who else can make Robitussin funny!!!??? If you prefer Robin Williams and Jamie Fox then they are less - skilled as their humor is all based on putting people down and any fool can do that. I find both of them tiresome as they bash one person after another for a laugh. Just as bad as "pie in the face" humor. Pathetic. Chris Rock is clever as he makes LIFE funny. Those two shows I mentioned kill me.

So, what comedians do you like?

1. Gigli

2. ANYTHING by Uwe Boll (WORST director, EVER! He makes movies about some of my favorite videogames and rapes them with crappy movies! )

3. From Justin to Kelly

4. The High School Musicals and Camp Rock

5. Basically ANY remake. There's only ONE good remake in the history of cinema and it called Scarface with Al Pacino (It's a 70's telling of the Prohibition Era Scarface, Al Capone. Cocaine was a metaphor for booze.)

Of the movies that I've seen both original and remake:

Departed: Infernal Affairs was better. I thought the fact that the Departed had so many stars crammed into it that it felt like each star was in their own movie with their personalities. Scorsese only won the Oscar as a sympathy vote for his work on past masterpieces being overlooked and the fact that a lot of the movies that came out that year were crap (Crash was probably the ONLY good movie that year). It's NOT better than Casino, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Gangs of NY, or the other movies that Scorsese SHOULD have won with.

Ocean's Eleven: The original was better. There was more drama and not over the top like the remakes. There's a reason why Joey Bishop (the last remaining Rat Pack member at the time) did NOT want to be involved. Seriously, who get's in a fight with someone right before he steals from him? Or spends ridiculous amounts on technology and hydraulics and still manage to make a NET profit? REALLY?!

The Fly: No disrepect to Jeff Goldblum, but the original will always be better with it's iconic "help me"

Titanic: That's just a shared theme. At least James Cameron created fictional characters and an original story around actual crew members and the historic event.

Little Shop of Horrors: Musical remakes don't count.

I'll watch the other movies that you mentioned and hope that you do not change my beliefs on remakes

Charlie and the chocolate factory was a great remake of Willy Wonka!

Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory has been one of my all time favorite movies for years.

At first viewing of Charlie and the chocolate factory I didn't like it, but I came to realize I didn't like it because it was encroaching on one of my favorite movies.

Although the one character I did not like was the gold ticket holding girl whose character was to ridicule "winners" and the attitudes they have.

No no no!

Despite Tim Burton's movie being more faithful to the novel, there's NO replacing the genius of Gene Wilder. I got nothing but Michael Jackson vibes from Johnny Depp's rendition. Let's see: Doesn't get along with his dad, squeaky voice, germaphobe, invites kids over to his place, and doesn't like women.

The oompa loompa songs in the original were a hell lot better. I always loved how the solo ommpa loompa would have words shoot out of his mouth when he says "What do you get..."

Or what about "Pure Imagination" and the "Candy Man?"

The quotes were hilarious too:
"snozzberries?! Who's ever heard of a snozzberry?"

"If the good Lord had intended us to walk he wouldn't have invented roller-skates"

I'm not sure staying true to a novel is necessary when making a movie, and really not when speaking of remakes.

Anyway, I appreciated the background of how Willy Wonka became a reclusive candy and chocolate magnate that was explored in Charlie and the chocolate factory, and I think Charlie and the chocolate factory did a much better job justifying Willy Wonka's decision to hand the factory over to Charlie as they elaborated on how the boy helped Willy gain an understanding of loyalty to family and the importance of reconciling with his father.

I was disappointed on the absence of the ever lasting gobstopper scandal.
