While the music is the best you can get, and some (not many) scenes are quite funny, the script is just awful.

I thought the original was bad enough (many disagree with me on this one, but I say it was utter sh*te). But anyway - Pearl Harbour? There was this other awful film I remember seeing once, I will try and remember it's name...

Thats a great film!

I'm gonna suggest 'Ishtar' but I thought it was longer than it actually is (107 min). Maybe it just seems that way! Plus, some people actually like it.

I recently saw 'Timeline'. This movie is a stinker of the worst kind. The book is by Michael Crichton, and there is enough interesting ideas in the movie to get a hint that the book is good but the movie is complete drivel. The main characters are archeologists going back through a wormhole to a battle near the end of the hundred years war. Given they're occupations you'd think there would be SOME attempt to have historical accuracy for ****s sake. My wife was supremely pissed off by my constant *****ing throughout the movie.

One thing I forgot to mention is that my brother has judgment when it comes to picking movies, and so he's already seen Howard the Duck, Ice Pirates, and Beowulf, among others. That's why I've mostly gotten him obscure movies in the past. (I don't think there's much chance that he saw a straight-to-DVD sequel to a film that made him weep, though.)

Loin, odd gift-giving tradition you have.

Battlefield Earth is a safe option, considering what you seem to be shooting for. It's really, really, REALLY bad, but it won't cause permanent damage.

It's just awful, isn't it? There's not a good thing about it. From actors and dialogue to the sword fights, the accents, the clothes and hairstyles, everything is horrible of horribles. But the worst part is how it actually looked pretty decent when you just read the premise. I'm lucky I caught it on TV and didn't feel obliged to sit it through to the end, having not payed any money for it.

I recall seeing a truly cheesetacular American made for t.v. film with Lee Majors playing a Viking, who goes to Vinland/Markland/North America to rescue some captive Norsemen held prisoner by Native Americans.

I think I knew it was going to be a dreck fest when he referred to a fellow Viking as Budge-orn, as in, 'Bjorn'.
There were also plentiful Paris Hilton bad hair day wigs.

I seem to recall they also had a token mute Moor, possibly played by an ex-American football player.

Might have been Jim Brown.

I wish I could remember the name of the film, because 'twas very bad indeed.

Ah! 'The Norseman' !

I see you are looking for horror movies.

Well the Mangler I mentioned above fits that bill. They even sacrifice virgins in the movie. What more could you want. it's supposedly based of some Stephen King short story.
