In a way, it’s harder to choose the worst films of a year rather than the best. There are so many! How many times did we walk out of a theater this year muttering, “That’s the worst thing I ever saw”? About as many times as last year. So here they are, for better or worse.
Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes starred in two of 2008's biggest clunkers.

Lots of crap from Hollyweird - nothing new there.
I’m inclined to agree with most of the selection, but I’m going to hold off on “Valkyrie” until I’ve actually seen it.
Fair is fair.
Holmes should have been in Dark Knight, instead of Dogface.
There are so many election jokes to be made on this thread...
I'm not sure who was smoking what kind of crack when they made that replacement.
Look at all the money I saved.
Was pleased to see “W” bombed at box office

The fact that you're going to go see it at all is telling ....
ha ha ha ha ha ha ... you've got to be kidding
Every single one of them...
“The Happening” was a huge disappointment for me. Global warming BS at its worst. The only entertaing part of that whole movie for me was in about the first five minutes when the construction workers were jumping off the building and my daughter commented “It’s raining men!” I was further disguted by the fact that I paid full price to watch that garbage, usually I go to a matinee showing of movies for a lesser price.
I agree...I thought that might be pretty good...
“Quantum of Solace” is a perfectly fine James Bond movie. Lib critics hate it because the villain is an environmentalist fraud who occasionally resembles Al Gore. It’s too close to reality for them.
but in the end it didn't matter, did it now? Nuff said.
Hey, you know the rules: no Gay Nazi threads!
I would add Bill Mahers “Religulous” to that list, and maybe at the top of the list.
I understand that “The Day The Earth Stood Still” with its new-improved glo-bull warming message is stinking up the box office too, and that pleases me to no end.
HA-HAW!
so is Cruise suppose to be Ernst Rohm? (Chuckle)
By far, the worst film ever.
The worst TWO films ever.
The embarrassing, paralyzing stupidity of this film is beyond description. This movie is so bad that God Himself openly prays for Dustin Hoffman's death.
It's completely immaterial if this film was released last year, or the year before, or preceded Birth of a Nation. It's staggering horribility transcends time and skews the laws of space.
