I knowwwww.

You know, I think about most famous films/actors that way. It sometimes blinds me from being able to see some good things out there.

You mean films like the "Ocean's" series? Or "Inception"? ^^ Even though I liked "Inception"...

I am currently pissed off at "The Descendants". It's... not worth mentioning. But really... I TRIED to like it, but it was just such a cliché.

i'm reluctant to disrespect anybody's heartfelt creative efforts, but-
i found that the movie/video adaptation of "flatland" was a big let-down. it was shrill and the plot exposition was opaque. overall, it was too literal a translation of the original story.

My personal picks on the worst films I've ever seen and my reasons:
-Santa Claus Conquers The Martians: Not awful-bad, but I did watch the non-MST3K version and BOY did it make a difference.
-Dancer In The Dark: A musical with Bjork in the lead role. Need I say more?
-Cars 2: More of a disappointment than bad. It was bad enough that Pixar became its own worst enemy when it came to making films, but they chose the wrong character to build on which cause the story to topple like a house of cards.
-Marie Antoinette: The whole contemporary music in 18th century France thing just lost me. It was a shame too since I personally loved Lost In Translation.
-Super Mario Bros and Double Dragon: These were the first two movies I saw in theaters which I felt were really God awful. That's not to say I didn't see bad movies in theaters before then, but it was before I knew better.
-pretty much any comedy with Adam Sandler excluding Happy Gilmore & The Waterboy.

I know there are far worse films out there, but I've had the habit of treating bad movies like junk food: okay in moderation but unhealthy in excess. I include the "so bad it's good" films in this analogy, but I purposely left them off this list.
