Just to say, “fist time Vagina Egg” is a typo for the ages. 

I never even watched it. But it’s one of those things where I was such a huge fan of its original run on Fox that I wanted to see how it closed out. But it was always me saying to myself “I should watch that one of these days.” So, I feel angry that I can’t get it anywhere. But at the same time, if I could, I would…

Imagine thinking M. Night Shyamalan belongs with these names when literally half his movies are hot garbage.

I dismissed the list because of Popeye, Hook, and Dune.

Dude literally kicks off his list with a movie I love, have rewatched and listened to the soundtrack many times as an adult. Dismissed!

This list seems wrong, Hook, Popeye and Ninth Gate are all great films. Did you even watch them? Or is this just a troll article to get people to click it and argue in the comments?

Then I think John Landis’ worst film is obvious.

Y’all suck at this.

Fuck you guys. At least half of this list are creatively interesting films that didn’t make money OR were odd by comparison to a director’s later steamrolling streak of success, OR were just low-key pleasures that weren’t as bombastic as the bigger successes. But in many cases NOT the directors’ worst. You’re just…

Fuck off, Popeye is a great film. 

EXACTLY. And for god’s sake, this may *still* be the comics-adaptation that best nails & respects the looks, characters and details of the actual original comic strip. The Jules Feiffer script rules and the Nilsson songs are full of earworms. [And, yeah, the correct answer is “Stiggs” anyway.]

In 2019, Shyamalan said about The Happening, “I think it’s a consistent kind of farce humor. You know, like The Blob.” So maybe it WAS supposed to be funny? What a twist!

I really don’t think it’s fair to include Cameron and Scorsese’s early work for Roger fucking Corman.

I don’t like Popeye but it has its charms and isn’t the worst Altman film (the man took many wild swings and struck out often!)

Ridley Scott has made as many bad movies as he’s made good movies, and he’s made a LOT of good movies.

Disappointing glimpse into the level of film knowledge we have at the AV Club now. How could you highlight Dune as an expensive foible and not, like, Fitzcarraldo? The Herzog blunder that took 5 years, involved building temporary communities and debatably led to actual preventable deaths?

I like that the author of that Popeye section obviously never saw the cartoon the movie was based on, and complained that Williams mumbled his dialogue. Like, yeah, dude, that’s what Popeye does. 

Um half these movies are decent/good. I guess I have bad taste..

My exact thoughts regarding Popeye and this list. I mean, for Pete’s sake, a number of these movies, including Miami Vice, Bad News Bears and, yes, Popeye, have good write-ups on this site. So, how can they be terrible films?

Cool! I can immediately dismiss this list because the first slide is Robert Altman’s amazing live action Popeye movie. Like I’d give you the Prairie Home Companion movie or even though I like it OC and Stiggs but not Popeye.
