That's bound to happen Ace with an Internet Poll.  People are going to vote for movies that they remember well - and the older the movie, the less likely people will remember it unless it was exceptionally bad.

I noticed that a few of the movies on the list (like Scary Movie) are intended to be bad movies.

that list did give me a laugh. They should really just say "The 50 Worst Mainstream Movies Ever". I've seen some really, really, really bad low-budget films before that easily make any of those 50 look like masterpieces.

Most of these would not be on my worst films list, except Plan 9 from outer space.  At least for the ones that I know.  Some of these movies are pretty bad or cheesy (sometimes a guilty pleasure), but would watch most of them again without thought.

once again, Battlefield Earth is near the top of the dung heap !  LOL 

I owned that movie once, but threw it away real quick.

Always wanted to watch it even if it's supposed to be a not so good movie.

I thought the same way once.

Then I watched it.

The Brown Bunny anyone?

or like I've called it on another forum :

The 50 not so good mainstream films that you have seen in the last 10 years even if you followed the herd in the theatre to watch them

Your title is more accurate, but if you include non mainstream movies the list could be endless

It is nice to see that everyone has his/her own opinion about what movies he/she likes. For example I liked watching "Blade Trinity" which is number 45 in the list.
