I'll go along with your list for the most part. Except for Ed Wood. I mean, if you're talking about so-bad-it's-painful. I happen to enjoy Ed Wood for the so-bad-it's-hilarios reason, as most others do. I'll just say I agree with your list except for that and I'd like to replace Ed Wood with Tyler Perry.

Bah!  I replaced him with Coleman Francis or Andy Sidaris.

I agree, it just didn't feel right not mentioning him. :D Because he's, well, Ed Wood.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Tim Burton may be hovering around the edges of this list.

Christopher Nolan.

The only good movie he's done was Memento.  Everything else, including the Batman films were total garbage in my opinion.

Interesting call. I don't know about that, but I think I know what you're getting at. Tim Burton can make some real stinkers, and while I have enjoyed some of his movies immensely, I think he gets too much credit for his "talent." IMHO, he loses points for constantly going with Danny Elfman for all of his scores, who I think is an absolute hack of a score composer. However, some people just love his movies. I think The Nightmare Before Christmas was a movie with potential and a cool look and a few good gags, but ultimately was a mediocre film at best for me. In short, I have very mixed feelings about Tim Burton.

Don't agree. I loved Inception, and while I'm not a huge fan of his Batman movies, I don't think they're bad. I also don't think he meets the criteria of a bad director like Uwe Boll does, outside of pure subjectivity. However, I while I disagree with what you have said, I will still defend to the death you right to say it.  Wink

NBC is Henry Selick's film, not Tim Burton's. He just produced it. ^^;

I guess I was thrown off by it being "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Ah!  Good to see a lot of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer at the top of everyone's list (or is it the bottom?).  Can't think of a director or director team in which every single one of their movies is horrible.

Another director I forgot should be mentioned is Stewart Raffill.  He directed Ice Pirates, Mannequin 2: On the Move, Mac and Me (Praise be to Coca Cola), Croc, and the most recent film abomination known as Standing Ovation.

If we're talking Planet of the Apes and beyond absolutely... but I can never fully hate him since he brought Ed Wood, Beetlejuice, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Frankenweenie into my life

Here's my stance: I love Tim Burton's movies, mostly, overall.  The first I saw was Frankenweenie on VHS.  From there, saw his bigger movies, like Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Batman, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, etc. 

However: I feel most of his movies provide the same message overall: the message of the lead character being a "Creepy, secluded, hated by society freak who ultimately becomes beloved", whether through it's fighting crime, being embraced as a B-Movie director, etc, etc. 

Mostly just allegories for his own teen years and being the freaky Cure fan in high school who gets embraced by a legion of teen fans who also feel left out in high school.  Eh. 

Overall, I enjoy his films, yeah.  Far from the 'worst', far from the 'best.'  In the middle at best.

Lest they be forgotten:

Al Adamson
William Beaudine
Larry Buchanan
Don Dohler
Dwain Esper
Arch Hall, Sr.
Andy Milligan
John Polonia (sorely missed by family, friends, and fans)
Eddie Romero
Ray Dennis Steckler
Phil Tucker

Actually, Eddie Romero is still alive and kickin', pushing 90!

If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.
