Entertaining, funny and informative

The Worst Movies of All Time is a superb introduction to the joys of watching bad movies. As the author explains in the introduction, a bad movie isn't always a low budget flick containing fourth rate actors under the direction of an untalented director. Many bad movies are relatively well made but terrible on account of bad acting, a stupid plot and an uninspired script. However the author does have clear biases such as his hatred of Bruce Willis and Cecil B. DeMille and some of the films simply should be there such as The Ten Commandments and Armageddon. However most of them truly do belong there and this book has provided me with a useful and entertaining insight into some of Hollywood's worse stinkers. The entries are very well written with a description of the plot, the making of the movies, things that went wrong and why they are so bad. It has also introduced me to the excruciatingly awful wonders that are Christopher Columbus: The Discovery and Hudson Hawk. Not only that the book has also provided me with an invaluable basis in which I can enjoy bad movies as much as good ones. Highly recommended.
