Dustin's Random Lists

I'm well aware of it. Though actually when they nominate the right ones I generally agree with the verdict, but not always.

As it's oscars season, I've been trying to catch up on my Oscar rankings list. Getting more and more added to my lists.

Lots of recent adds to my best picture rankings: Loved Robin Williams in Goodwill Hunting, figured that Jeremy Irons won in a weak year, As Good as It Gets had decent performances from Hunt and Nicholson, while Julie Christie was great in Darling. The best oscar performance I've seen in February probably goes to the supporting role for Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon, a film that was nothing without O'Neal.

I've added all of last nights winners into my rankings list. Really liked Lawrence and Hathaway, in comparison to other winners I've seen.

Since a lot of people have been making Worst Movies of all time lists, I figured I'd make mine as well. I'm just going with a quick top 10 of the most godawful films that I have seen.

So here it is:

10. The Master
9. Traffic
8. Still Waiting
7. Boondock Saints
6. Shanghai Express
5. The Lake House
4. Little Nicky
3. Bringing down the House
2. Half Baked
1. Meet the Spartans

I may catch a lot of flack for 4-5 of these films, but to be quite honest, I really don't think I've seen a lot of terrible films per se. Normally I won't watch a film if it's not critically acclaimed or at least getting some decent reviews here and there.

There's lots of incredible Denzel roles missing from this list:

Cry Freedom
Malcolm X
Glory
A Soldier's Story
Training Day
Remember the Titans
Flight (filmed after you made this list)

I agree. Denzel is an amazing actor.

celluloid, actually I have all of those in my collection or have seen them all except A Soldier's Story and Cry Freedom

Anyways, on my least favorite list I forgot to put The Master on there, as it is well worthy of a spot.

McConaughey and Letos performances added to my lists

What did you hate so much about The Master and Boondock Saints?

Also I thought Bringing Down the House was at least mildly amusing. Far from being one of the worst movies ever made.

The Master- the performances. The script. The directing. Mainly the directing.

Boondock- could care less about the characters. Seems like it wants to be cool but fails. I don't watch many bad movies IMO.

The performances were the only thing I liked about The Master. And Boondock is cool and hilarious.

I think about the only movie we'll ever really agree on is Gladiator.

Ratatouille, Up, Shawshank, Glory, Departed, Breakfast Club, Wall E, Se7en

That's a pretty short list.

Probably the shortest in comparison of two peoples lists. There's probably more that I just can't think of.

Was there a reason you didn't mention One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Schindler's List? Both are in our top 100 lists.

Looking at your top 100, there are a good number of movies that I like and some that I like a lot. But there are also quite a few that I'm apathetic to and 8 that hate.

I went off of memory. Cuckoos Nest is great and a prime contender for a great spot in my 70s list. I also like Mary and Max, as do you.

Couldn't. Couldn't care less.


I'm sorry. It's a sickness.

Thanks professor

A couple off odd choices on your Denzel list as well as a couple of odd omissions. Am I the only one who thought INSIDE MAN was a terrible film? Yet, no love for GLORY, MALCOLM X or PHILADELPHIA?

I hadn't seen Glory or Malcolm X at that time. Seen them both now and Glory is great.
