Talk:The Fifty Worst Films of All Time

message: The article presents a book's author personal point of view, which is of questionable objective value and appears biased.  The comments about the films seem to be added by the (anonymous?) author of the article thus rendering the article to be double-POV.
There are other wiki articles on the "worst film" subject, such as listed below, both of which do include elaborate comments on taste and judgement being subjective: 
#Films considered the worst ever 
#The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made (Documentary) 
– see also the May 2005 discussion (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made .
The comment about Zabriskie Point is plain propaganda thus qualifying this article for deletion. (WP:NOT)

:Agree. Strange list and absolutely non-NPOV. Is it allowed to propose deletion once again now? --CodeMonk 22:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That Votes for deletion thing is for a 2004 DVD documentary NOT this book.  Other then the name there is little to connect them.--216.31.124.147 (talk) 16:56, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

message: While checking the Library of Congress to verify the publication information of this book, I found an oddity. The 1978 edition actually lists Harry Medved and Randy Dreyfuss as the authors — no sign of Michael Medved. However, later editions, listed under the shorter title and including the originally cited ISBN, list only Michael Medved as author. I confirmed this information with FetchBook.info and Amazon.com as well. I've added a references section that shows this discrepancy.
Could someone who has access to either or both of these editions make any necessary corrections in the article text? Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I have the original book, copyright 1978 but my copy is from a 1980 reprint. It lists ISBN: 0 207 95891 2 (cased edition), 0 207 95892 0 (limp edition). The cover and titles pages clearly list authors as Harry Medved, with Randy Dreyfuss. It also pictures both authors: Harry Medved and Randy Dreyfuss. The ackowledgements page notes that "Harry's brother Michael Medved was involved in every step of the project and without him this book would not exist." The copyright notice says "Copyright 1978 by Michael Medved".  Asa01 23:05, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy question 

message: OK I remove accuracy tags. Minor article about minor book. Article basicaly described the book well enough. I think the author problem has been addressed. Clearly the actual authors is somewhat murky (see talk above) but the article reflects this I feel. Asa01 23:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Remove tags

message: Removed text:
The list is largely restricted to sound films because the book predated widespread consumer use of videotapes and silent films were harder to find
Removed because this is completely wrong. There are in fact no silents in the book, and the reason for their exclusion is not that which is given here. In fact the authors consider silents as an altogether different artform, and say so in the book. Reference to consumer videotapes seems questionable: in 1978 when this book was written I think it is safe to say that over 90% of the films listed were not on video.
