  1. Descent
    There is no excusing date rape, but the revenge conceived and executed by Rosario Dawson's Maya in this revolting, amateurish drama is something you might only wish on Osama Bin Laden.
  2. Men Cry Bullets
    The acting is more amateurish than Billy's diva act, and for all its ambitious editing, the film looks like something made in the Addams Family's attic.
  3. The Body
    Just about every race and creed come off badly in this small-scale thriller.
  4. Scary Movie 2
    The Worst Comedy of the Year race heats up today with the release of Keenen Ivory Wayans' Scary Movie 2. This one is so bad, even Adam Sandler will be impressed.
  5. Palindromes
    This is extremely dark and politically loaded material.
  6. Jersey Guy
    This badly written, badly directed and badly acted little movie about an ordinary guy from Jersey who discovers passion with a fashion plate in Manhattan looks great.
  7. AVP: Alien vs. Predator
    The actual fights between the predators and the serpents are too silly to contemplate. Both shiny and metallic, they look like kitchen appliances fighting it out. That's when you can see them. Writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson ("Resident Evil") has created the darkest, if not worst, sci-fi movie since "Battlefield Earth."
  8. Pizza
    At the end of her spontaneous date, she says it's been the best night of her life. It will not be one of yours.
  9. Kill by Inches
    Boring is too active a verb to describe this minimalist psychological thriller.
  10. Godzilla 2000
    For devout fans of the greenish monster and for those looking to shoot fish in a barrel.
  11. Silent Hill
    The worst kind of horror movie: trash that takes itself seriously.
  12. Lost Souls
    His (Kaminski) first feature is so thoroughly awful, it isn't even interesting to look at.
  13. Sorry, Haters
    So misguided as to be genuinely mystifying, Jeff Stanzler's queasily blended political psychodrama isn't simply a lousy movie. It's also a lousy movie that boldly exploits the events of 9/11.
  14. Fat Albert
    Somewhere in its quest to be educational, Fat Albert forgot to be entertaining.
  15. Love at Times Square
    Dev Anand's unintentionally hilarious Bollywood romance would be considered terrible by any artistic standard, but it serves as proof that sometimes the worst films make for the most fun.
  16. Mr. Magoo
    CRUSHingly unfunny. [24 Dec 1997, p.34]
    • New York Daily News
  17. The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick
    Both a fan's dream and a moviegoer's nightmare: It ends up being all about those who remember and interpret Philip K. Dick and not about the man himself.
  18. Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
    Features even more toddlers acting in a way only collectors of velvet paintings will consider irresistible.
  19. See Spot Run
    It's enough to encourage the aspiring film makers in the audience, no matter how wee in age, to yell "Cut!"
  20. Clifford's Really Big Movie
    A really lame attempt to expand the marketing reach of the PBS-TV series.
  21. The Musketeer
    The Musketeer is the worst Hollywood period film in -- it seems like ages since "American Outlaws."
  22. Big Fat Liar
    There are lame comedies, and then there is Big Fat Liar, which is so lame that it merits its own reserved parking space.
    • New York Daily News
  23. Fear of Fiction
    So clumsy and unfocused that not getting it isn't half as bad as sitting through it.
  24. The Price of Air
    In this unpleasant mess of a movie, a heroin-like drug called "blue" is said to be "more addictive than air."
  25. Sonny
    Shows what can happen when a bunch of good actors get together without adult supervision. They emote all over the place, banging into each other, talking too loud, knocking over furniture, wallowing in clichés and otherwise behaving like rank amateurs.
  26. The Hillside Strangler
    Here's one for the Sick Voyeurs Club.
  27. 10,000 BC
    10,000 B.C. tries, but never catches fire.
  28. The Forsaken
    Vampire movies aren't what they used to be. How about a little mist, some shadows, some pale gray faces set off by stark red lips? Maestro, a little Transylvanian mood music, if you please.
  29. Are We There Yet?
    The affable Ice Cube is all that makes this forced, unfunny film watchable, and, frankly, it's hard watching him waste his efforts on a movie so woefully cynical.
  30. Timeline
    An instant contender for cult status on the midnight-movie circuit, where lines like "Do we look like quantum wormhole specialists?" will be given the respect they deserve.
