 "The
Fifty Worst Films of All Time"
by Harry Medved and Randy Dreyfuss
Popular Library, 1978
We bachelors love our movies, and
the worst they are, the better we like them. This book takes 50 truly awful
films and presents them in segments like the critics' opinion, "unforgettable
performances," "immortal dialogue," the stories behind the films, and a
scorecard at the end. Read about films like The Conqueror (1956),
a Howard Hughes production that starred John Wayne as cowboy version of
Genghis Khan. Or how about Godzilla Versus the Smog Monster (1972),
a movie which combines the message of global pollution with giant, fire
breathing monsters. Then there is Robot Monster (1953), one
of those great teen-age monster flicks where the creature from outer space
looks like a guy in a gorilla suit with a deep-sea diving helmet. And for
those looking for some holiday fare, check out Santa Claus Conquers
the Martians (1964)--a title that more interesting that the
film itself. Those films and 46 others await you in this celebration of
bad movies.
