My Worst movies ever (worst to least worse):

Best: (or at least favorites)

1) 2001, a Space Odyssey
2) Forrest Gump
3) Apollo 13
4) City Slickers
5) Bill Mason's Waterwalker (Obscure, yet means a lot to me.)
6) The Shining

The worst?, eh! I don't dwell on that. Although the last Star Trek certainly qualifies.

I saw Water World the other night for the first time. Such a serious movie, so why all the goofy characters mixed in? The mad scientist from the Atoll was pure Disney!

Aliens
The Terminator

Highlander
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Zulu
The Battle of Britain
Predator

And a pretty good hit rate of these available on Super 8. No wonder I think it's such a wonderful hobby.
