5.0 out of 5 stars Still An Invaluable Filmgoer's Companion, January 22, 2002

By	Matherson (New York) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (And How They Got That Way) (Paperback)

This classic satirical effort chronicles the "fifty worst" films ever made as the end of the 1970s. When this was written, bad films were defined by their short cinematic run and scathing theater reviews. Twenty years later, the advent of video has given us an altogether more awful prospect: the simply unwatchable "straight to video" flick which isn't even watched by critics before being foisted on the unsuspecting home-viewer. SOME of the Fifty Worst Ever are "so bad they're good," veritable classics worthy of repeat viewing, e.g. "The Omen" (1976), "Robot Monster" (1948), "Valley of the Dolls" (1967) and "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster" (1973). Others are plain, unwatchably, bad, such as "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" (1971); yet others, such as "Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975) are admittedly in bad taste but not actually bad films. Some of these line-ball calls are due to the fact that there was originally a core of about 20 really "good" bad films in the first draft - then the publisher insisted on 50.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delight from beginning to end, November 23, 2002

By	Elizabeth G. Melillo "gloriana" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The fifty worst films of all time: (and how they got that way) (Paperback)

Rarely has a book given me the continuous laughter that this one provided! The wry wit and "courage" to take "classics" and show their glaring deficiencies was a constant delight. My only regret is that there was no later edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Film fans, seek it out, August 16, 1999

By	Jim LaRegina (jimlaregina@hotmail.com) (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The fifty worst films of all time: (and how they got that way) (Paperback)

THE 50 WORST FILMS OF ALL TIME will give movie buffs a good laugh. It was worth reading just for the review of "Trouble Man." Seek it out and keep it on your coffee table.

This book might have been good if it had been written when MST3K was on the air. Read more

Unlike most "best of" or "worst of" books, this one takes the time to really delve into what happened to the film, why it was made, and so forth. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars YES
Never ever has a book made me laugh so hard and so much. Also, I am in love with old movies. That makes this book one of my favorites.
