What's always amazed me is how, unlike averyone else, I look at quantity more than quality. This applies to everything in my life, example: for the same amount of money I can buy 100 grams of very delicious chocolate cookies or 250 grams of intergrain cookies that don't taste as good, and I always buy the intergrain ones.
This also applies to movies, because I'm happier having more bad movies than a few good ones.

Post your opinions on what matters more to you.

This is a dubious topic. I chose 10 bad movies because there are so many great bad movies to choose from, moreso than good movies, anyway.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I'd have to change the number of bad movies to make it tougher

Flick James

Perhaps, but the concept is solid.

5 Bad Movies.

NO movie is good enough to pay $50 for, unless your getting one of those releasethat have a ton of extra stuff with them.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

I have never found a good movie worth $50. However you give me $50 on a gift card and send me to amazon.com and I can come away with far more than 5 bad movies. Thank goodness for Mill Creek 50 and 100 packs.

Defintly quanity. I just bought ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS,The MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD, and IT CONQUERE  D THE WORLD on dvd for 15 dollars. I guess I coulda bought the GODFATHER or some crap like that. Course,I guess that depends on yer definition of quality. I could never sit through the GODFATHER....to boring.

What a shame.  I think THE GODFATHER is a great movie.  

Hmmm... I think for $50 I could get at least two great movies... I'd have to go with 5 bad movies, too.  'Course, no one else may appreciate what I buy, but at least I'll get maybe 10 hours of horrible movie pleasure.   :smile:

Since I like "bad movies" better than so-called "good movies," of course I would rather get 5 of those.  I'd take the 5 "bad movies" even if I could get 50 "good movies" for the same price!
