This is one of the most hilaroious books i have ever read. The only ones that have made me laugh as much have been by the same authors. If you are a film buff and know some history of film making, you need this book. I reccomend to people who enjoy witty comments, dialogue so bad you laugh, and inane plots. Sorry, to say it is out of print. But get it if you find it.

The infamous Ed Wood Jr. would be a long forgotten hack had it not been for this book giving him the Worst Director Of All Time and his gem of a film "Plan 9 From Outer Space" Worst Picture of All Time." The Medved brothers do an incredible job of rounding up all the bad films they can and giving such categories as: Worst Rodent Movie of All Time, The Worst Title of All Time, The Worst Performance by a Novelist, The Worst Credit Line of All Time -- you get the point. That is phase one of their attack on some of the most worthless movies ever made. The second phase of their attack is the writing; cutting humor is laced into all of the works. The brothers Medved have humor with an edge that is unmatched in critiquing bad flicks. Don't be surprise to laugh out loud when reading this. The book is out of print, but can still be gotten. A must for any one that loves movies and realizes there are more bad than good movies.

Very funny and insightful. (...)

The Golden Turkey Awards is a well-written, funny review of some of the most inane and stupid movies that Hollywood has ever produced. Michael Medved was onto something here, but in later years he sold out by becoming somewhat of a whiny right wing critic of Hollywood. It's hard for me to decide between him and John Stossel (of ABC's 20/20) which one is in more dire need of a sharp blow upside the head with a 2 x 4.
