* Sadly, very few of these films fall into the "so bad they're good" category... Even an ineptly-made mess can end up a 3 or a 4 if its heart is somewhere near the right place. Any fool can make a bad movie. But it takes a special kind of anti-talent to come up with the offensive bilge listed above. Worst film I've ever seen is a tough call - for years it was Oliver Stone's The Doors, then it was that shame-about-the-boat-race picture True Blue. But the more I think about it, the more I reckon the ultimate "dishonour" belongs to Lukas Moodysson's Lilya 4-Ever.


on the brighter side...
