I'm surprised I haven't seen Jet Li's "The One" on the list.  That was attrocious.

For the budget it was given, and given the fact they were not allowed to make it an R rated film - I think 'The One' is a good movie, a great concept - but only a good movie. The acting is pretty bad... Fact Brooklyn accents, nooooo!

Red Dragon was a much better movie.

I'll add Crossroads and wait on Swept Away. The One fits into the Kung Fu/Karate/Martial Arts genre and most are bad and that is why they are good. Even a modern martial arts movie fits and will always have a few redeeming scenes.

I saw 8mm and thought it shouldn't be there until I really thought about what was memorable or really good about it. Nick Cage is great, but the plot and movie depended on the taboo to reel people in and ultimately it just kept getting worse and worse and wasn't really unpredictable. Mel Gibson was in a film at the same time about a rogue who wants revenge and that was good in comparrison because it was gritty, harsh and unpredictable. Mind you this is my opinion. But I thought about how I could justify 8mm as being good and ultimately I said to myself, I guess it did suck...

I just received response from Tony (the innovative mind that started this list). He is going to send me his official rules and an updated list soon. I will feel better then about adding or subtracting or the criteria. So far the response here has been really hilarious and I appreciate the submissions. I will post when I have amended the rules and list a la Tony.

What's the Brandon Frazier movie with an animated monkey? That was unbearable!

"Garfield" is out this week. I think it's a good addition to this thread.

Can I prenominate Chronicles of Riddick?

Why, because Cory really liked it, and his good pal Depmode actually LOVED it:

Simply amazing. Best movie experience since Return Of The King. This is my kinda sci-fi. Give me more, please.

Yeah, I guess that's probably more than enough reason to nominate it here...   :P

The name of the movie with the animated monkey is the FLOP   "MonkeyBone"

Isn't there a movie called, "Just one of the Guys"? That thing is bad...

I heard from Tony and he's working on an updated list for me and his rules as they differ. I'll get that up asap...

I, Robot was actually pretty good. Well despite the somewhat corny action sequences at times.

My 6 year old wanted to see it, so we went. Other than Bill Murray (who HAD to be struggling), it was worse than it looks.
