Your worst list is a bit off imo :tongue: I can't remember many that I love atm but here are three of the worst ones I can think of:

Man on a ledge - what were they thinking when they made this?
Midnight in Paris - couldn't finish this one
Princess and the frog - may be the worst Disney film, between the ridiculous 1930s stereotyping and awful storyline; there wasn't much left to be desired.
American Beauty, Drive and Pulp Fiction are my top 3 films of all time.

"Don't mess with the Zohan" is the worst film I have ever seen. Utter dog's mess.
The Tree of Life is the worst film I have ever seen.

Alien is great, you're thinking of Prometheus, the 'Phantom Menance' of the franchise.

Worst - .. Flash Gordon, Monsters Inc


Monsters Inc is fine.

I hated Flash Gordon the first time I saw it, but I now realise how great it is: the brilliantly camp script, the costumes, the script, the acting, the script.

Nope i meant Alien directed by Ridley Scott
Never managed to finish the film as I got bored every single time
Also Prometheus was pretty Sh*t too

:cookie:
Alien is an brilliant exercise in tension and horror, an absolute classic.

Prometheus is such an abomination that it's difficult to believe they were directed by the same person, but it's down to the script being a pile of excrement from someone who thinks 'wouldn't it be neat if' is trumps making any sense whatsoever.
