List of films considered the worst
The Rob Reiner film North is an adaptation of the novel North : The Tale of a 9 - Year - Old Boy Who Becomes a Free Agent and Travels the World in Search of the Perfect Parents by Alan Zweibel , who also wrote the screenplay and has a minor role in the film . North , which was also Scarlett Johansson 's film debut , was a critical and commercial failure , earning only $7,138,449 worldwide . It was widely criticized for its plot , its all - star cast of insensitive characters , lack of humor , references to pedophilia , and portrayal of numerous ethnic stereotypes . It has a 15 % approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes . Roger Ebert gave it zero stars and , in his review , infamously wrote `` I hated this movie . Hated , hated , hated , hated , hated this movie . Hated it . Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience - insulting moment of it . Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it . Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it . '' He continued saying `` North is a bad film -- one of the worst movies ever made '' , and it is also on his list of most hated films . Both Ebert and Gene Siskel named North as the worst film of 1994 . Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said in his review that `` North is director Rob Reiner 's first flat - out failure , a sincerely wrought , energetically made picture that all the same crashes on takeoff . It 's strange and oddly distasteful , at its best managing to be bad in some original and unexpected ways . '' Richard Roeper named North as one of the 40 worst movies he has ever seen , saying that , `` Of all the films on this list , North may be the most difficult to watch from start to finish . '' The film was nominated for the following awards at the 15th Golden Raspberry Awards : Worst Picture , Worst Actor ( Bruce Willis , also for Color of Night ) , Worst Supporting Actress ( Kathy Bates ) , Worst Supporting Actor ( Dan Aykroyd , also for Exit to Eden ) , Worst Director , and Worst Screenplay ( Andrew Scheinman and Alan Zweibel ) .
Thor (film)
Sam Raimi first developed the concept of a film adaptation of Thor in 1991 , but soon abandoned the project , leaving it in `` development hell '' for several years . During this time , the rights were picked up by various film studios until Marvel Studios signed Mark Protosevich to develop the project in 2006 , and planned to finance it and release it through Paramount Pictures . Matthew Vaughn was originally assigned to direct the film for a tentative 2010 release . However , after Vaughn was released from his holding deal in 2008 , Branagh was approached and the film 's release was rescheduled into 2011 . The main characters were cast in 2009 , and principal photography took place in California and New Mexico from January to May 2010 . The film was converted to 3D in post-production .

Our Gang
Exhibitors noticed the drop in quality , and often complained that the series was slipping . When six of the 13 shorts released between 1942 and 1943 sustained losses rather than turning profits , MGM discontinued Our Gang , releasing the final short , Dancing Romeo , on April 29 , 1944 .
Rwandan genocide
Canadian Lieutenant - General Roméo Dallaire became the best - known eyewitness to the genocide after co-writing the 2003 book Shake Hands with the Devil : The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda , describing his experiences with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder . Another firsthand account of the Rwandan genocide is offered by Dr. James Orbinski in his book An Imperfect Offering : Humanitarian Action in the Twenty - first Century . Among survivors , Immaculée Ilibagiza documented her story in Left to Tell : Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust . The book recounts how she survived for 91 days with seven other women during the genocide in a damp and small bathroom , no larger than 3 feet ( 0.91 m ) long and 4 feet ( 1.2 m ) wide . Gil Courtemanche , a French - Canadian writer , authored Dimanche à la piscine à Kigali ( A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali ) , which focuses on events in Kigali during the genocide . At
West Side Story
The original book Laurents wrote closely adhered to Romeo and Juliet , but the characters based on Rosaline and the parents of the doomed lovers were eliminated early on . Later the scenes related to Juliet 's faking her death and committing suicide also were deleted . Language posed a problem ; four - letter curse words were uncommon in the theater at the time , and slang expressions were avoided for fear they would be dated by the time the production opened . Laurents ultimately invented what sounded like real street talk but actually was not : `` cut the frabba - jabba '' , for example . Sondheim converted long passages of dialogue , and sometimes just a simple phrase like `` A boy like that would kill your brother '' , into lyrics . With the help of Oscar Hammerstein , Laurents convinced Bernstein and Sondheim to move `` One Hand , One Heart '' , which he considered too pristine for the balcony scene , to the scene set in the bridal shop , and as a result `` Tonight '' was written to replace it . Laurents felt that the building tension needed to be alleviated in order to increase the impact of the play 's tragic outcome , so comic relief in the form of Officer Krupke was added to the second act . He was outvoted on other issues : he felt the lyrics to `` America '' and `` I Feel Pretty '' were too witty for the characters singing them , but they stayed in the score and proved to be audience favorites . Another song , `` Kid Stuff '' , was added and quickly removed during the Washington , D.C. tryout when Laurents convinced the others it was helping tip the balance of the show into typical musical comedy .
West Side Story
Just as Tony and Maria , our Romeo and Juliet , set themselves apart from the other kids by their love , so we have tried to set them even further apart by their language , their songs , their movement . Wherever possible in the show , we have tried to heighten emotion or to articulate inarticulate adolescence through music , song or dance .
Nurse (Romeo and Juliet)
The Nurse also admits to being something of a fool , proclaiming , `` were not I thine ( Juliet 's ) only nurse , I would say thou hadst suck 'd wisdom from thy teat . '' She is implied to be ugly by Mercutio , who urges the Nurse 's servant Peter to fetch her fan quickly , `` to hide her face ; for her fan 's the fairer face . '' Mercutio also mentions her age , calling her an `` ancient lady '' as he exits from the same scene . Some illustrations even depict her as an obese or big boned woman , because of how Mercutio insults her . He calls `` A sail ! A sail ! '' Meaning he thinks that the nurse is as big as a ship .

Juliet warns her that she will be going down alone .

To prove her story , she hands Blair Juliet 's masquerade mask and earns Blair 's forgiveness . After confessing to Blair , she says she would love to help her take down Juliet , but she should return to Hudson rather than become involved in another scheme .
Romeo and Juliet
`` O brawling love , O loving hate , O any thing of nothing first create ! O heavy lightness , serious vanity , Misshapen chaos of well - seeming forms , Feather of lead , bright smoke , cold fire , sick health , Still - waking sleep , that is not what it is ! '' --
Brontë family
Jane Eyre , Agnes Grey , then The Tenant of Wildfell Hall , Shirley , Villette and even The Professor present a linear structure concerning a character who advances through life after several trials and tribulations , to find a kind of happiness in love and virtue , recalling the works of religious inspiration of the 17th century such as John Bunyan 's Pilgrim 's Progress or his Grace abounding to the Chief of Sinners . In a more profane manner , the hero or heroine follows a picaresque itinerary such as in Miguel de Cervantes ( 1547 -- 16 ) , Daniel Defoe ( 1660 -- 1731 ) , Henry Fielding ( 1707 -- 1764 ) and Tobias Smollett ( 1721 -- 1771 ) . This lively tradition continued into the 19th century with the rags to riches genre to which almost all the great Victorian romancers have contributed . The protagonist is thrown by fate into poverty and after many difficulties achieves a golden happiness . Often an artifice is employed to effect the passage from one state to another such as an unexpected inheritance , a miraculous gift , grand reunions , etc. and in a sense , it is the route followed by Charlotte 's and Anne 's protagonists , even if the riches they win are more those of the heart than of the wallet . Apart from its Gothic elements , Wuthering Heights moves like a Greek tragedy and possesses its music , the cosmic dimensions of the epics of John Milton , and the power of the Shakespearian theatre . One can hear the echoes of King Lear as well as the completely different characters of Romeo and Juliet . The Brontës were also seduced by the writings of Walter Scott , and in 1834 Charlotte exclaimed , `` For fiction , read Walter Scott and only him -- all novels after his are without value . ''
The Three Stooges
Despite their lukewarm reception , the Besser shorts did have their comedic moments . In general , the remakes had the traditional Stooges knockabout look and feel , such as 1958 's Pies and Guys ( a scene - for - scene remake of Half - Wits Holiday , which itself was a reworking of the earlier Hoi Polloi ) , Guns a Poppin ( 1957 ) , Rusty Romeos ( 1957 ) and Triple Crossed ( 1959 ) . In contrast , Hoofs and Goofs , Horsing Around and Muscle Up a Little Closer ( all 1957 ) mostly resembled the sitcoms of the era . A Merry Mix Up ( also 1957 ) and Oil 's Well That Ends Well ( 1958 ) are also amusing , while the musical Sweet and Hot ( 1958 ) deserves some credit for straying from the norm . The American space craze also led to three entries focusing on space travel : Space Ship Sappy , Outer Space Jitters ( both 1957 ) and Flying Saucer Daffy ( 1958 ) .
Highschool of the Dead
Character designer Shōji Satō featured Rei and Saeko in crossover illustrations for his other manga Triage X and the video game Lollipop Chainsaw , where their high school uniforms are available as unlockable costumes for main character Juliet Starling . It was also briefly featured roughly halfway through episode 4 of Ano Natsu de Matteru .
Jamestown, Virginia
A fictional romantic adventure set at Jamestown , To Have and to Hold , was the bestselling novel in the United States in 1900 . The novel was later adapted into two feature films , in 1916 and 1922 . A highly fictionalized version of the Jamestown settlement is depicted in the animated Disney film Pocahontas ( 1995 ) as well as its direct - to - video sequel Pocahontas II : Journey to a New World ( 1998 ) . Among other inaccuracies it is shown as being near mountains , when it was actually located on the Tidewater region . A feature - length film , The New World ( 2005 ) , directed by Terrence Malick , covers the story of Jamestown 's colonization . Although the historical details are accurate in most ways , the plot focuses on a dramatized relationship between John Smith , played by Colin Farrell , and Pocahontas , played by Q'orianka Kilcher . It also features John Rolfe , played by Christian Bale . Many scenes were filmed on - location along the James and Chickahominy Rivers and at Henricus Historical Park in Chesterfield County , Virginia . Another feature - length film , First Landing : The Voyage from England to Jamestown ( 2007 ) , documents the 1607 landing of English colonists . In 2017 , Sky 1 launched a new series based in Jamestown . The series , named after its eponymous setting , revolves around the societal change triggered by the arrival of women to the settlement to marry the male citizens of the area , and is made by the producers of Downton Abbey . The story of Bartholomew Gosnold and the establishment of Jamestown is told in the 2018 musical To Look For America written by Richard Digance and Eric Sedge .
One Thousand and One Nights
It is possible that the influence of the Panchatantra is via a Sanskrit adaptation called the Tantropakhyana . Only fragments of the original Sanskrit form of this work exist , but translations or adaptations exist in Tamil , Lao , Thai and Old Javanese . The frame story is particularly interesting , as it follows the broad outline of a concubine telling stories in order to maintain the interest and favour of a king -- although the basis of the collection of stories is from the Panchatantra -- with its original Indian setting .
Rosaline
Analysts note that Rosaline acts as a plot device , by motivating Romeo to sneak into the Capulet party where he will meet Juliet . Without her , their meeting would be unlikely . Rosaline thus acts as the impetus to bring the `` star - cross 'd lovers '' to their deaths -- she is crucial in shaping their fate ( a common theme of the play ) . Ironically , she remains oblivious of her role .
Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV series)
To avoid a narrator , the serial delegates the novel 's first ironic sentence to Elizabeth in an early scene . The adaptation opens with a view of Darcy 's and Bingley 's horses as they race across a field toward the Netherfield estate , expressing vitality ; Elizabeth watches them before breaking into a run . While the novel indicates Elizabeth 's independence and energy in her three - mile trek to Netherfield , the adaptation of this scene also shows her rebelliousness and love of nature .
The Long Walk
By 2007 , Frank Darabont had secured the rights to the film adaptation of the novel . He said that he would `` get to it one day '' . He planned to make it low - budget , `` weird , existential , and very self contained '' .

Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV series)
The adaptation received praise for its faithfulness to the novel , which highlights the importance of environment and upbringing on peoples ' development , although privilege is not necessarily advantageous . Describing the adaptation as `` a witty mix of love stories and social conniving , cleverly wrapped in the ambitions and illusions of a provincial gentry '' , critics noted that Davies 's focus on sex and money and Austen 's wry , incisive humour and the `` deft '' characterisation , prevented the television adaptation from `` descending into the realm of a nicely - costumed , brilliantly - photographed melodrama '' . ``
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (film)
Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com gave the film one and a half out of four stars , saying `` Like the novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , the movie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is predicated on a simple , single gimmick : It 's Pride and Prejudice ... with zombies . This is a vaguely amusing idea which somehow got stretched out to an entire book , which somehow became a best seller , which inevitably means it had to be made into a film . '' Keith Uhlich of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review , calling the film `` Lumbering , lifeless and -- strange thing to say about a cadaver -- almost entirely charmless . '' Lindsey Bahr of the Associated Press also gave a negative review , saying `` This story might have been better suited to a television adaptation . The characters would have been allowed to breathe for a beat in that case . Here , the action and violence take up the space that would have generally been used for character development . '' Stephen Whitty of New York Daily News gave the film two out of 5 stars , saying `` The hungry monsters in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies are looking for nice big brains . Well , they wo n't find any here . '' Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post gave the film one and a half stars out of four , commenting `` '' Pride and Prejudice and Zombies '' delivers what its title promises : a little romance and some undead villains , plus a bit of comedy . But this overly busy riff on Austen 's winning formula does n't justify all the tinkering . '' Britton Peele of The Dallas Morning News gave the film a B − , calling the film `` Fun , funny , gory and yet still strangely romantic . ''
Where the Wild Things Are (film)
Some critics have noted the movie 's dark adaptation for children , such as David Denby from The New Yorker saying , `` I have a vision of eight - year - olds leaving the movie in bewilderment . Why are the creatures so unhappy ? '' Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com criticized the film 's visual aspect , `` Even the look of the picture becomes tiresome after a while -- it starts to seem depressive and shaggy and tired . '' She also stated that `` The movie is so loaded with adult ideas about childhood -- as opposed to things that might delight or engage an actual child . '' The Globe and Mail 's Liam Lacey branded the production a `` self - consciously sad film . ''
The Thin Red Line (1998 film)
New York - based producer Bobby Geisler first approached Malick in 1978 and asked him to direct a film adaptation of David Rabe 's play In the Boom Boom Room . Malick declined the offer , but instead discussed the idea of a film about the life of Joseph Merrick . Once word got out about David Lynch 's film of The Elephant Man , he shelved the idea . In 1988 , Geisler and John Roberdeau met with Malick in Paris about writing and directing a movie based on D.M. Thomas ' 1981 novel The White Hotel . Malick declined , but told them that he would be willing instead to write either an adaptation of Molière 's Tartuffe , or of James Jones ' The Thin Red Line . The producers chose the latter and paid Malick $250,000 to write a screenplay .
Lord of the Flies (1990 film)
The trick in adapting , Allen said in a 1972 interview with The New York Times , `` is not to throw out the baby with the bath water . You can change all kinds of things , but do n't muck around with the essence '' .
