I’ll say : Glitter, From Justin to Kelly, all movies with Paris Hilton, Gigli, Epic Movie, Transformers, Rollerball, Step Up (huh… what number again? 3, 4, 5? ;-) Son of the mask (what a waste…) and so much remakes…

Holly, good picks.

I’d go ahead and say anything with Michael Bay or Adam Sandler’s name (except he has a couple exceptions, where Bay has none).

Gotta say ditto on the abovementioned films: The Sweetest Thing; Austin Powers in Goldmember; The Cat in the Hat; Slumdog Millionaire (but less because it’s actually one of the worst films of the new century, and more because it was so frickin’ acclaimed when it came out, I don’t get it); Good Luck Chuck; Rush Hour 3; RV; Transformers (all of them); White Chicks; Glitter; From Justin to Kelly; Gigli; Epic Movie (and really, all those cookie-cutter spoof Movies, like Vampires Suck and Scary Movie 49 and so on…); Crash

As for my own list, I’d have to include the following (which is made up of mostly well-known movies that I just don’t think deserve the attention and certainly not the box office receipts that they receive):
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Steven Spielberg)
The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions (The Wachowski Brothers, or is it Wachowski Brother and Sister now?)
The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson)
Planet of the Apes (Tim Burton)
Signs (M. Night Shyamalan)
Troy (Wolfgang Petersen)
Avatar (James Cameron)
Sex and the City movies
The Twilight Saga movies
Everything involving Tyler Perry

The Twilight Saga
The Transformers Trilogy
Vampires Suck
Disaster Movie
Captain America
Green Lantern
Spy Kids 3D
Spy Kids 4D
Jack And Jill
Grown Ups

Annoyed at the reaction to some modern Tim Burton films. Was ‘Charlie And The Chocolate Factory’ actually bad? I liked it. But maybe that’s just me.

Thomarama and Alex : I agree with both of you. And you’re right Steve with Adam Sadler’s movies… they were better before 2000’s :-) Sex and the City 2, pwaaah! And so sad that the last Indiana Jones did’nt deliver what ’’we’’ expected (a little 21st century tragedy!) and Twilight Saga, of course… good pick for the worst movies.

Correction Doublelife91 : Avatar and The Last Airbender aren’t the same movie, they are two different films. ;-)

Even in threads about the worst movies, people still want to turn it into an overrated thread. Not to mention ignoring the date guidelines of the OP. You people are obsessed.

@ULI³CAIN
Pi and Requiem for a Dream are both very nearly brilliant. The Wrestler and The Black Swan are more than competent films that resonated with a large audience. The Fountain is fucking awful. New Age drivel peppered with shitty CGI and propelled by a grievously miscast Hugh Jackman. Let us agree to differ on this one. OK?
