This blog here is my project to watch and review the Imdb's bottom hundred. The worst movies of all time, according to this source at least. People might think why the hell i would want to do that, so here's my rambling answer:
It all started years and years ago when I got into action cinema. As a kid 80's and 90's action movies blew my mind, and they still do. Die Hard, Under Siege, Cliffhanger, Lethal Weapon, Predator etc. all remain my favorite movies to this day. But later, in the 2000s, as these action stars got older, their movies got shittier and cheaper. Prime example would be Mr. Steven Seagal. Man did some excellent stuff in his day, but quickly descended into doing b-grade action movies shot in Romania with a poor budget. But still, that didn't scare me off. On the contrary, it fascinated me more than the big budget movies (Part of the reason for that was a great book called "Seagalogy" by Vern, you should check it out if you haven't yet).
So after watching all of Seagals late work, i'd go and watch later work from Van Damme, Lundgren and so on. After that, i'd switch to lesser known direct to video garbage from 90s and 00s: PM Entertainment, Cannon films, all kinds of exploitation, crappy action movies from guys like Gruner, Wincott, Lamas, Daniels, Blanks etc. you get the picture. So after pretty much falling in love and exhausting most of the entertaining bad movies, i thought to myself "what next?". That's when I thought of the idea of watching real bad movies without the entertainment value. So off to Imdb and its worst of -list. Expecting to find list full of great movies the majority thinks of as shit (for some reason) i found this:
Wow. Now that seems BAD. Horrible. Soul crushing. But at the same time... fascinating. So off we go, starting easily enough with Mickey Rourke in Another 9 1/2 weeks. That can't be too bad, right?
Ps. I'm watching these sober, from start to finish, full concentration, no cheating. Spelling mistakes and odd sentences may occur, as English isn't my first language.
But the ranking changes from time to time. What are you gonna do about that? Anyway, I know I'm a little late, but I want to wish you good luck with the remaining films.
