There should be a caveat to these lists etc... that the movie was actually trying to be good.
I mean, the Corman stuff is awful and so is Uwe Bolls stuff, but they are not 'trying' to be good. They are just trying to come in with enough moving footage to edit into a motion picture or steal money from the German authorities. Like when these lists have Attack of the Killer Tomatos on it...it's just not fair. Not a level playing field. For what is was trying to do Attack of the Killer Tomatos is great! But I would like to point out that budget is not involved. Thats why I consider Starship Troopers to be immune to attacks that it was a bad movie. It was made tongue in cheek and as a parody, and such, suceeded.
Something that was trying to be good and was terrible (Battlefield Earth for example?) should be the vein we are going for. Wild Wild West also leaps to mind.
The Stinkers list is a terribly confused list that fails to take the above into consideration. It is also apparent that they do not get the horror genre at all (many 'proper film critics' don't.) Take for instance the inclusion of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I will defend this movie's greatness to the grave. It is a genuine classic in the horror genre and in filmdom in general. You may notice they just take two entire franchises out in one listing pretty much with Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th. While they have uneven sequels to be sure, the originals in either series are reguarded as classics and have spawned multiple sequels on their financial merits. It is wrong to exclude an entire movie franchise as 'worst' just because you don't like it. I mean they make room to call out only the odd numbered Star Trek movies , not just slam the whole run. The also dismiss the Polie Academy series this way as well.
The Twin Peaks movie (as noted above) should be nowhere near a list of bad movies. Misunderstoon movies maybe, but not bad.
