The WORST movies I have ever seen

by Harepusholderen | created - 29 Apr 2011 | updated - 12 Feb 2012 | Public

Really bad movies that I've ended up seeing. Time I will never get back... Glitter, Gigli and Battlefield earth did not make the list simply because I haven't seen them. The movies on this list are films you think may be o.k., but then they turn out to be absolutely awful. I'm unable to reply to the comments, but appreciate the feedback :) You who wondered about seeing "L'enfant" - you should give it a try. I know a lot of people think it's really good, so you might see something that I didn't :)
