Out of all the ones in the poll,which do you think IS THE WORST??

I cannot vote because I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THEM,I just wanna get your opinions on em.......

Well I have seen Arthur (1981),Gone in 60 seconds (1974),Psycho (1960),Assault on precinct 13 (2005) and Clash of the titans (1981) but I havent seen the other of any so I cant compare......


I would have to say probably Clash of the titans remake is the worst of all in the list because the original WITH NO CGI is excellent....... (But I wont vote on it as it is not legit (I havent seen the 2010 one (Dont know if I want to )))

I haven't seen most of them. I did try to watch CLASH OF THE TITANS. Fell asleep about 45 minutes in. It was that thrilling.

Tim Burton's PLANET OF THE APES was really bad, except for Rick Baker's make-up work, which is rightly the stuff of legend. The movie is worth watching for that alone. But the story is an utter waste of time.

Most of those are worse than bad: they're pointless.

I haven't bothered with most of them, but I'll cast a vote for The Fog, since that should never have gotten the green light.

Hi Dude !

The movie that stand out on this list is The Stepford Wives. The original with Katherine Ross is brilliant ! It's quite intense, however the remake is silly and suspose to be funny ?! Such a disgrace to remake this great movie in to something so pathetic.

The other movie (not on the list) is the Out of Towners with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis - excellent acting and great chemistry between the two. Great writing & directing. The entire movie is hilarious - a masterpiece. The remake is pathetic - I really like Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin great actors just not for this terrible remake.

I haven't voted yet, but, "Gone in Sixty Seconds", almost got my vote. I then thought, maybe it was the acting, not so much as the movie itself. Now, "Rollerball", OTOH.

That was easy--even without the list I'd have opted for The Stepford Wives, and not only because the remake sucked but because the original is one of my favorite movies.

Let's see... the main bad dude ingratiates himself with new women in town by artfully sketching them, but what he's really doing is designing parts. It's subtle, but Joanna's husband becomes increasingly dark and distant as the reality of what he's about to allow to happen sinks in. An increasingly suspicious Joanna tries to convince people of her impending demise (I'll cook and I'll clean but I won't take pictures and I won't be me).The family dog is "dognapped" to become familiar with the inevitable replacement . The women are murdered by the very robots who replace them.

Does that sound like a comedy? Some Hollyweird idiot thought so. Poor Ira Levin, one of the best horror writers ever, must've been spinning in his grave.

Sadly, the politics of the time masked the sheer horror of the original and the novel on which it was based. If you like the horror genre, skip the "remake" and watch the original again--with fresh eyes.
