Any list that defines SUCKER PUNCH as a bad movie instantly loses all credibility forever, and all of us Punchologists out there will ask the spirit of Rocket to rain down dragonfire on the maker of said list.

What imbecile considered "Excalibur" a bad movie?  That was a masterpiece.

No Ed Wood, and in fact no movies from before 1988. Not a very deep dive. Even so, they missed modern disasterpieces like TROLL II, BIRDEMIC and SHOWGIRLS. This is why amateurs should not make these kinds of lists.

EXCALIBUR (1981) and DUNE (1984) are on there... ( and I agree with Sven- EXCALIBUR is a good film.)

I agree. Get some 20-something kid  who knows zero about film history to make a list of this kinda is annoying.

lol... but it's weird that despite those omissions, they do have SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 2 in the top 5. random...

just went to read the website and in the introduction they repeatedly talk about 'Bad Good Movies'... well no, it should be 'Good Bad Movies'. that's a fairly crucial distinction. (and more proof they don't know what they're going on about...)

You're right, I missed those. No movies before 1981.  :bluesad:
