I think My Boss's Daughter took the cake for me. I don't know why I stuck with it, but I did; and it's an hour & a half of my life I'll never get back.

I take that as Lost World. It's the second best in my opinion MUCH better than the third and better overall than the reboot trilogy.

I don't know if it's the worst but "A Rainy Day in New York" was pretty bad. And I generally like Woody Allen movies but this movie was tough to get through-- boring, trite, silly, boring.

"Four Rooms" was also horrible. Horrible. A big, fat, muddled mess. Throughout I kept muttering to myself, "this is so bad" but kept hoping it would get better. It didn't.

It should have been an episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT or CREEPSHOW. But a movie? Nope.
Since there is disagreement here, I asked ChatGPT this: “is bubba ho-tep a good movie”

ChatGPT reply 10 seconds later:

"Bubba Ho-Tep" is a 2002 comedy horror film directed by Don Coscarelli. It has gained a cult following over the years and received generally positive reviews from both audiences and critics.

The film stars Bruce Campbell as an elderly Elvis Presley, who believes he is still alive and living in a nursing home. Alongside him is Ossie Davis, who plays a man claiming to be John F. Kennedy. Together, they battle an ancient Egyptian mummy that has been terrorizing the residents of the nursing home.

"Bubba Ho-Tep" is known for its unique premise, offbeat humor, and the performances of its lead actors. Bruce Campbell's portrayal of an aged Elvis is often praised for its charm and wit. The film blends elements of comedy, horror, and social commentary, making it a distinctive viewing experience.

However, it's important to note that the movie's quirky style and humor may not appeal to everyone. It has a somewhat low-budget aesthetic, which some viewers might find off-putting. Additionally, the film's pacing and narrative may feel uneven to certain individuals.

Ultimately, whether "Bubba Ho-Tep" is considered a good movie is subjective and depends on personal taste. If you enjoy unconventional and offbeat films, dark comedy, and are intrigued by the idea of an elderly Elvis fighting an evil mummy, then you might find it entertaining and worth watching.

There are just too many from which to choose, but I would nominate most movies with a number in the title.
