This is just my initial list. I'm sure others can add many more as we help celebrate the end of Hollywood...

Special Category What Would Have Been Good Movies But Ruined by One Bad Scene: A Few Good Men Very entertaining story about good and evil in uniform ruined in the courtroom climax, when LTJG Caffee says to the colonel: Im a Navy officer, and you are under arrest, you son of a bitch! Those last five gratuitous words by a screenwriter clueless about the military instantly makes Caffee guilty of disrespect towards a superior officer (a court martial offense) and lower him to Jessups levelWith all due respect, if you let that one, admittedly gratuitous and wrongheaded point, mar an otherwise good movie, I think you've gotten too picky.

Class 1: "The Incredible Lightness of Being" -- stupifyingly bad writing and performances, polished off by a plot involving a serial adulterer physician ruining the lives of all around him for his own sexual gratification won numerous awards in Europe I couldn't agree more. ARCHTYPICAL Lousy Movie.
Also getting my vote is any flick with Jeremy Irons in it.

Class 3: AI (Artificial Intelligence) The worst movie ever made. I've never been so depressed after watching a "movie."
To: pabianice
Class One: Joe Versus the Volcano (I was on a date), Ishtar, Twister, the Neverending Story (babysitter refused to leave).
Class Two: Mars Attacks, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Can't Stop the Music (the last one only because I kept waiting for it to get cheesier).
Class Three: Krippendorf's Tribe, Broken Arrow, Young Einstein

The "War of the Worlds" remake was a big hit, while the superb "The Great Raid" bombed.
To: Clemenza
'Never ending Story 3' put an end to the 'Story' much quicker then the Producers probably hoped.

C'mon! You didn't like Irons' creepy performance in Reversal of Fortune?

Sid and Nancy certainly had the courage of its convictions though.

You can't have a thread like this and not mention last year's galactic stinker, Alexander.

Class 1: The Big Chill. Not so much peer pressure, but I was about to attend the University of Michigan and I felt it was a responsibility to see it -- the characters are former UM students. Luckily, I saw it on cable.
Class 2: The Matrix. So many of the fight scenes and special effects seemed -- and continue to seem -- so idiotic to me that I was fighting to keep from laughing aloud in the theater. But I don't walk out of movies I've paid for -- besides, I was with my wife and she might have been enjoying it -- so I stayed and suffered.
Young Nurses in Love.... My wife and meant to rent Young Doctors in Love and got crossed up. This was basically a porn flick with anything more than a naked breast cut out... But it was so bad it was entertaining... In particular there is one scene of a nurse walking though different parts of the hospital.... Only it was filmed at different times, resulting in her skirt being anywhere from just below the knee to miniskirt length.

Don't know how to classify it, but I would have to go with the last installment of Star Wars. Dialog was lousy (especially at the end), plot was weak, and no suspense - we all know Anakin will be seduced by the dark side of the force, for crying out loud.

Class 2: "The Strawberry Statement" -- I still remember the poster: "The Vibes Were Good, but the Times Were Bad" -- horrifyingly bad performances around a story of beautiful, gentle hippies going to college in San Francisco and lovingly protesting the Vietnam War, only to have the experience ruined by Cylon-like police in riot gear gassing and clubbing them to death during a sit-in for peace; also includes some of the worst dehumanization of women ever portrayed on the screen Which reminds me, what was that movie with Tippie Hedren and a young Don Johnson where Tippie runs some bizarre sex therapy clinic/cult?
Also from that era: How could I have forgotten Myra Breckenridge (even a hottie like Raquel couldn't save a film with Rex Reed). Wild in the Streets at least mocked the hippies.

Oliver Stone movies deserve a category listing here.
