  Sorry---this is supposed to be a classic in somebody's book, but I could only stand to watch about half of it. Complete bore, and mildly irritating non-stop singing.

  Moulin Rouge at the top of this list and as well as an overall worst movie list. It was simply unwatchable for me. I tried on three seperate occasions to view it all the way through in one sitting but could not do it.

  I agree with some of the others on your list, but I think Sgt. Pepper's had a sort of cheesy charm that made it enjoyable.

  I would add Paint Your Wagon and Zanadu to the list (shame too, cause Zanadu contained Gene Kelly's last screen dance number...the only thing in the film worth watching).

  If you want to stretch it I would include also include these Disney abominations: The Fox And The Hound, Pocahontas and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

  Thanks,
  Rob

    And listening to Lee Marvin singing "I was born under a wandering star" was very enjoyable, too...

    the sheer pleasures of Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood's vocalising. When there was Howard Keel AND Harve Presnell - two fine singers and macho guys - WHY IN HELL DID EASTWOOD/MARVIN GET THESE ROLES?

    And "Xanadu" was actually on my list until I remembered "Grease 2." They both stink. And I felt sorry for Gene Kelly being in such a dog. After all, here was the star of several of the greatest musicals ever made, including what I consider the best of all. I'm talking about "Singin' In the Rain", of course.

  I would agree with all of those. "Tommy" is particularly painful. Oliver Reed's low point, to be sure.

  The only one quibble might be "Chitty...". It was really meant to be a kids film, and as a kid I liked it.
  
  
  " Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college."

    The only high spot for me was Benny Hill, who was always entertaining.

    Maybe I will strike CCBB from the list and add "Dr. Dolittle." An absolutely terrible movie and a worse musical. Anthony Newley should have known better! I guess he needed the job to pay his alimony.

    Thanks to the considerable talents and charm of the great Maurice Chevalier and the brilliant Leslie Caron. I'd call it a great film but not a classic. It's not Minelli's best but that still makes it better than most.

    Definitely not the worst. When something is really bad, it becomes a curiosity worth seeing (try the Village People in "Can't Stop the Music"); Moulin does not rise to the level of "so bad that it's good."

      Nicole Kidman couldn't save that movie. Made me feel old, too (I was forty-two when I saw it).

      MTV Generation must have loved it - based on box office and AA nomination.

      ...its overall sensibility seemed to have huge appeal, for example, to fans of the quartet who sang the "Lady Marmalade" redux theme (can't remember all their names, but including C. Aguilera)--mostly teens and twenty-somethings--but as a film, it was a mish-mash of styles that was too post-modern and "meta" for its own good, in my not-so-humble opinion. Even the much-vaunted special effects were overrated.

      Give me Julie Andrews any day.
