Best worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2009)

Now and again one is privileged enough to stumble across a movie which is so truly bad that it becomes spectacularly good. It goes off one end of the spectrum so far (and this may be a gravitational lens effect for all I know) that it reappears all the way over at the other end.
Take a movie about Football violence. Firms from West Ham and Millwall kicking the holy crap out of each other with spectacular slow motion fight scenes with blood spurting out of mouths. Add in dialogue that makes Eastenders look like Shakespeare. Add in many, many meaningful soulful close up photos of hooligans who clearly came straight out of RADA. Sprinkle on top a Bono/U2 soundalike soundtrack. And, in a truly inspired piece of casting, put Elijah Wood, yes, he of the Hobbit fame, in the middle as the Yank who joins one of the firms. And we have "Green Street Hooligans".
I laughed till I cried.
Thank you thank you. This one will be hard to beat (unlike the Hammers).
My only quandary was whether to give it 10 stars or 1
