Good pick, Doggett!!  THE ORPHANAGE was really good.


But let's not forget AN AMERICAN CAROL TeddyR
   (Indy ducks as a barrage of rotten tomatoes, eggs, and week-old cabbage comes flying his way!)

Joke nomination, or real nomination?  I never can tell with Indy!

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

Just kidding . . . I did like AN AMERICAN CAROL, but it wasn't that great.  Just better than most of the spoofs that have come out of Hollywood lately.


BTW, I watched THE DARK KNIGHT again this evening, and I still love this movie.  Even Maggie Gyllenhall's features were . . . less unattractive, shall we say - than on the big screen.

Encounters at the End of the World

Dark Knight and Wall-E are close behind.

For grown ups: There Will be Blood.

For kids: Wall-E

For B-movie laffs: Prince Caspian (Susan in a corset keeps you watching. Its pathetic attempt to be more than a rich man's sci-fi original/poor man's LOTR keeps you laughing.)

Just like with the worst movies of 2008 thread (http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,122512.0.html), I thought I'd give everyone one more day to add nominees to the list before "official" voting begins.

Here are the nominees so far:

THE DARK KNIGHT (Rev. Powell)
LARS AND THE REAL GIRL (doggett)
HELLBOY 2 (doggett)
THE INCREDIBLE HULK (doggett)
THE FALL (Rat-Bat-Spider)
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (Rat-Bat-Spider)
SHOTGUN STORIES (Rat-Bat-Spider)
MILK (Rat-Bat-Spider)
HAPPY GO LUCKY (Rat-Bat-Spider)
RACHEL GETTING MARRIED (Rat-Bat-Spider)
WALL-E (Akiraturbo)
IRON MAN (Anubis von Mojo)
BOLT (The Burgomaster)
RAMBO (Circus_Circus)
IN BRUGES (peter johnson)
THE ORPHANAGE (doggett)
ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD (Pilgermann)
THERE WILL BE BLOOD (HarlotBug3) (technically a 2007 movie, but it was only in limited release in 2007)
PRINCE CASPIAN (HarlotBug3)

"Wall-E," too. For a couple of reasons.

(1st) Each year I compile a list of the "best" and "worst" films of the year, as chosen by the critics. There are almost fifty films on the "best" list this year. "Wall-E" is the only one I've seen of the fifty.

(2) While there are a number of films that have made multiple critics' lists of the "best," most notablely "Milk," "Wall-E" is the only one that, so far, has made every critic's "best" list. So, "Wall-E" is my choice, too.

If you haven't already, go cast your vote in this thread: http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,122641.0.html.  WALL-E is currently tied for the top position with IRON MAN, so you can break the deadlock.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
