Good shout, but all the Apu trilogy were great, also Kashejunghana Ray's first colour film was brilliant too

Ludo - I watched Withnail and I for the first time just a couple of years back, maybe a little dated now and I found it pretty bizarre but really liked it with some good shots of the English countryside. Would you say that it's a ''cult film''?

I always think that if you're going to successfully do something badly on purpose (Les Dawson's piano playing?), you really need to be able to do it well first.
Sadly, I suspect this is not the case with these folks.

I think they are trying to create the so bad it's good genre, the trouble for me is that only works if you genuinely try to make a good film and it goes horribly wrong.
Something like Alone in the Dark for instance.
But if you set out to make it shit it's just shit.

That'll be the oevre of The Asylum studio.
Terrible dialogue, worse acting interrupted by short bursts of really shonky CGI.
So bad they're bad.

I had the misfortune of watching two footy related films on long haul flights that thankfully I cant remember the name of. One had Danny Dyer in it, I'm sure it was something to do with a world cup or something, and another had Vinny Jones in it, leading a pack of hooligans...made my eyes bleed

Most of the worst films listed here are pretty well-known. I believe that there is another whole sub-level that probably should be included.
I'm referring to virtually any fim shown on the Horror or SyFy channel.
I don't even know if these channels are still going, but whenever I stumbled across them at the wrong end of the Freeview channel list, there was always a film being shown that utterly defied belief.
I never made it through a whole one, but every aspect of these things including acting, plot, script, sets, cinematography, special effects etc was of the lowest possible quality. I'm guessing that they were VERY cheap to make.
I suppose Sharknado is the best-known of these things?
It did make me wonder about the people making them. What did they think they were doing? Was/is there an actual market for such stuff? Did they ever work again?
Straight to DVD would have been a high aspiration surely?

Best - Does anyone over the age of 14 really have a 'best' film, I mean come on ffs, but IF I had to pick one it's hard to look past The Godfather Part 2. Good shout on Sexy Beast, love that film. The Day of the Jackal is a masterpiece, Goodfellas, many others.
Worst - Snakes on a plane.

Grumps, did you ever see Jack Nicholson getting his best actor award for Chinatown in 1975? He receives on the set of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and the whole cast are in character and there as gives his speech. It's a brilliant clip

Aww, come on.
Con Air is such wonderful schlock
"Put the bunny back in the box," a car get dragged through a tower by a plane, and no piece of scenery left unchewed. What's not to like.

Best - One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Worst - a tie between fight club and blair witch project
Considering fight club is seen as a masterpiece, I guessed it was all in his head after about 5 minutes and then found it utterly shit. Maybe I need to try it again as that was at the cinema when it first came out.

happygilmore should have phrased it as a"favourite" from my youth which I can still watch again today. All three of the ones I mentioned I can watch more than once and that's a box ticker for me.
