Worst Movie Of Our Generation

Krull - the land of perfect beards

We never thought we'd say we'd be interested in seeing a movie staring Paris Hilton. The shallow, useless waste of life has taken top billing in the comedy The Hottie and the Nottie and we actually want to see it.

Why?

Because the inside word is that this might be the worst film made in over 20 years. In fact, viewers actually rated it lower than From Justin to Kelly: With Love. Wow! With a cumulative box office gross of around $27,000 for the week it looks like not too many people got to enjoy the gift of Paris Hilton. Guess they don't watch movies with her that aren't filmed in nightvision.

Because we're children of the 80's we love bad movies. That was definitely the Golden Era of Bad Cinema. No other decade popped out such gems as:

Iron Eagle, Red Dawn, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Critters, C.H.U.D., The Toxic Avenger, most of the Friday the 13ths and resulting slasher/killer knock-offs, Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie, Masters of the Universe (He-Man), Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo, Surf Nazis Must Die, Hell Comes to Frogtown, anything with Corey Haim/Feldman, Howard the Duck, The Gate, The Re-Animator, Goulies, Commando, Police Academy movies, Over the Top, Ernest goes to anything, Godzilla 1985, She-Devil, Yentl, Defcon-4, Hollywood Hot Tubs, Rhinestone (Sly Stallone sings!), Ishtar, Gymkata, D.C.

...and Krull!
Dude! Krull was so bad it's super fantastic! We love all the above movies for their 80's greatness. Many of you may be asking "where's Cui hua kuang mo?" Sadly, it was made in the 90's but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a clip from the worst fight scene in history!

That's a very funny piece, but you made a little mistake - you accidently included Ishtar on the list of bad movies of the 80s. Ishtar is actually a very good movie.
