there is a whole world of b-movies out there, they're not hard to find. i'm pretty sure that if the bottom of your bottom tier is populated by movies that actually got into nation wide theatres, then you simply havent seen enough of the movies that weren't good enough to make it into theatres.


Or, you know, maybe some people just have different criteria for best and worst than you do. PCU has a terrible, unfunny, mean-spirited script that made me loathe every second of it. And if we're going to add production value into the equation, then the fact that PCU got into nationwide theaters, and had a fairly sizeable budget with several "name" actors means I'm going to hold it to a higher standard than some $20,000 B-movie made in Joe Blow's backyard.

If we're going to nitpick each other's rankings, you've got Even Dwarfs Started Small in your bottom 5. In my book, that's pretty egregious.

As for why, it's because it's so ridiculously manipulative, cheap and heavy-handed. I notice MANY other people have it in their Tier 1 as well. I guess we're all just "crazy" or "need to get around more"? Because there can't possibly be a difference in opinion without some kind of deficiency on one side of the issue.

And for the record, there's a 3-way tie for my worst-ever:

Empire Records
PCU
She's Out of Control
