The current movie "Australia", now out on DVD, shows brilliantly the stars and the ancestors concept. It is, however, the second worst movie in the history of the world. Living in Australia I can understand your comment. What is the "worst" movie? At least as far as you are concerned? I feel many movies made of Native Americans here vie for the category as you mention it.

My vote for worst is Mr. Costner's "Waterworld," at least in U.S. cinema.

I'd go with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! At 87 minutes it was about 57 minutes too long..

There is always one second best or second worst but of best and worst there are always many.

I did sit through Barry Lyndon twice, and the second time, paid close attention to costumes and appurtanences. Lots of good movie/bad movie depend, I suppose on our like or dislike of the actors. I liked "Australia" for instance, but won't see a Tom Cruise movie, no matter how many millions they pay him.

I did not get them for a very long time, but then would lose someone's comment to me, and I would reply days later, long after the topic had changed, or in anagram stew, the word itself had gone on to greater heights. (You's was some sort of glitch in the system: because when I tried to click on your response, the site said it could not link to it: I got here through the back door, back up to forums and down to the thread.)

Ishtar and Barry Lyndon! Terrific choices - one worse than the other. We seem naturally to have focused on relatively big-budget movies that should have been good, but stunk. If we widen the net to include low-budget films, there are too many really, really, bad movies to count or to rank. In fact, "rank" is a good word to use in association with this class of film. They used to be hard to find, but now they're available on DVD anywhere movies are sold. They're not all old, either. They just stink. My son and I watch them (particularly those striving to be classified in the sci-fi genre) just for the laughs they provide.
