Where's Wing Commander and RollerBall (2002) on the list? Those two movies on the top of my head are 10 time as bad as the #1 on that list.

Erin Brockovich
The Sound of Music
Cocktail
Dune
The Thin Red Line(WTF, this is my favorite war movie of all time)
The English Patient
Moulin Rouge
Steel Magnolias



All of these movies definately don't belong on that list. However, Maxim caters to a distinct crowd. 15-24 year old idiots who are losers and can't get laid.

I love how 90% of the worst movies of all time occurred after 1980 and that none of the contenders ever appeared in an MST3K episode. But I guess "50 movies that other people like that we hated" doesn't make for a good headline.
 

48. Erin Brockovich (?00)
At last! Julia Roberts totally naked! She plays a secretary who uses her jahoobies to beat the bad guys. Ha, ha, fooled ya! This bait ?n? switch chick flick is actually about an overbearing, Wonderbra?d rabble-rouser who yaps at an octave level somewhere between fingernails on a chalkboard and a dog whistle. Who?s she hollering at? Who else?male corporate wags who dumped a little poison here and there.

Its offical, Maxim is the dumbest magazine on the planet. Do they realize it was based on a true story?

Dune is the worst, with GodFather 3 a close second.
i disagree with Thin Red Line & BattleField Earth.
all movies with Julia Roberts should be on the list.

Mandingo? hilarious movie. ?Pleasure me, you ebony wench!? - this line always worked for me, along with variations ("Pleasure me, my Teutonic wench," etc.)

Uhhh with movies like "Freddie got Fingered" how does Dune get on that list.

These guys need to get a think tank going when they do their lists

He drank the shampoo.... to rid himself of her... it was hers, but.... he drank it... I.... I.... Gaaaaaaaaaa!

I wish he'd really drink shampoo. The kind with nickel carbonyl in it.

Yah, I was wondering this as well.

BTW... Manos: The Hands Of Fate is the worst movie ever.

But the best MST3K ever :)

I saw Erin Brockovich, Moulin Rouge, The Thin Red Line and Armageddon, and reassured myself that Maxim is only good for pics.

If they want worst movies, they should just go through a list of anything that "starred" Freddie Prinze Jr. That'd be a good start.

- Lea Thompson was HOT in Howard the Duck. I was real young, and that movie kicked ass back then.

- Moulin Rouge! was on the list... thank the lord.

- Patch Adams?! That was hilarious!!!! Take it off the list.

- Ghosts of Mars DESERVED to be on that list. I still contest it's one of the worst of all time.

Yup, those all suck. Although Minority Report should also be on there.

I disagree with several of their picks, but I think they are taking a very male-slanted view on these movies.

BTW, it is should be called the top 52 worst movies. They combined "When Harry Met Sally" with "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle". Good move on their part. "You've got mail" really really blew.

They left of City of Angels.

EDIT: Missed sleepless in seatle
