List of films considered the worst
The American version of Titanic : The Legend Goes On , an Italian animated feature film about the sinking of the RMS Titanic , features completely different plot , songs , and dialogues , with a similar storyline to James Cameron 's 1997 Titanic film , but also with a number of talking animals ( most notably , a rapping dog ) . In 2011 , Total Film named it the 40th worst children 's movie ever made , describing the film as being `` widely considered one of the worst animated films ever made '' . Total Film later named Titanic : The Legend Goes On as the worst film ever made , after it topped a list of the 66 worst films ever in 2012 . Screen Rant included it on a list of the twelve worst animated films of all time and it topped a cheatsheet.com list of the top ten worst animated films ever , with author Will Roberts commenting that `` ( any ) list of the worst animated films of all time begins with ... Titanic : The Legend Goes On '' . The uncut version received moderate ( but generally better ) reviews .

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
After 2004 's King Arthur , Warner Brothers made multiple attempts to make a new film based on Arthurian legend : One was to be a remake of Excalibur , helmed by Bryan Singer , while the other was a movie to have been titled Arthur & Lancelot , which would have starred Kit Harington and Joel Kinnaman , as King Arthur and Lancelot respectively . Warner Brothers suits worried that names were not big enough , and attempted to replace both actors with more profitable ones , before eventually dropping the project all together .
Yorick
The name Yorick has been interpreted as an attempt to render a Scandinavian forename : usually either `` Erick '' or `` Jørg '' , a form of the name George . The name `` Rorik '' has also been suggested , since it appears in Saxo Grammaticus , one of Shakespeare 's source texts , as the name of the queen 's father . There has been no agreement about which name is most likely .
Nick Bottom
The origin of Bottom 's farewell to Peter Quince in Act I , scene ii has become the topic of some disagreement among Shakespeare scholars . Parting with Quince , Bottom instructs his fellow actor to be at the next rehearsal , saying : `` Hold or cut bowstrings . '' The debate is centred on whether this phrase arose from military or civilian life .
The Other Boleyn Girl (2003 film)

Yorick
Memento mori are also expressed in images of playful children or young men , depicted looking at a skull as a sign of the transience of life . It was also a familiar motif in emblem books and tombs .
Prince Hamlet
His moral fate is bound up with his uncle 's for good or ill . The call of duty to slay his uncle can not be obeyed because it links itself with the call of his nature to slay his mother 's husband , whether this is the first or the second ; the latter call is strongly `` repressed , '' and therefore necessarily the former also .
Helena (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
She is the daughter of Nedar , a member of Theseus court and the Athenian aristocracy , and a friend of Hermia , with whom she is often compared . Prior to the play 's beginning , she is betrothed to the nobleman Demetrius but is jilted when his affections turn to Hermia instead . Despite this , Helena 's abiding love for Demetrius remains consistent throughout the play . Hermia and her lover , Lysander , confide in Helena that they plan to elope . In the hopes that she will gain back some of his respect , Helena tells Demetrius of Hermia and Lysander 's escape and , that night , the two follow the lovers into the forest .
Yorick
This theme of Memento mori ( ' Remember you shall die ' ) is common in 16th - and 17th - century painting , appearing in art throughout Europe . Images of Mary Magdalene regularly showed her contemplating a skull . It is also a very common motif in 15th - and 16th - century British portraiture . Frans
Helena (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
While not the protagonist of A Midsummer Night 's Dream , Helena is one of its most talkative characters . Her dialogue provides key insight for the audience into humanist beliefs on the nature of love and the process of falling in love .
William Horman

Other prominent distant relatives include Lothian Bonham Carter , who played first - class cricket for Hampshire , his son , Vice Admiral Sir Stuart Bonham Carter , who served in the Royal Navy in both world wars , and pioneering English nurse Florence Nightingale .
Nick Bottom
Bottom 's discussion of his dream is considered by Ann Thompson to have emulated two passages from Chaucer 's The Book of the Duchess .
Nick Bottom
Bottom has been the subject of several paintings . German composer Hans Werner Henze has used Bottom twice as an inspiration : in the second sonata which comprises his Royal Winter Music and in his Eighth Symphony .
Will Turner
Will returns ten years later , where he meets Elizabeth and their son , Henry .
Nick Bottom
Godshalk argues that , just as these examples indicate a military context , this must also be done with Bottom 's `` hold or cut bow - strings . '' He further cites Jean Froissart 's account of the Battle of Crecy , which supports the military origin of Bottom 's line : `` When the Genoese felt the arrows piercing through their heads , arms , and breasts , many of them cast down their crossbows , and cut their strings , and resumed discomfited . '' Archers would cut their bowstrings , thus destroying their weapons , in the midst of a retreat so that the enemy could not use their own instruments against them . It is the equivalent of striking artillery , rendering the equipment useless . With this understanding , Bottom 's phrase can be interpreted as a military expression for `` hold your position , or give up and retreat . '' In the context of the play , Bottom is being comically pretentious , saying : `` Be present at the rehearsal , or quit the troupe . ''
Nick Bottom
Critics have commented on the profound religious implications of Bottom 's speech on his awakening without the ass 's head in act 4 of A Midsummer Night 's Dream :
The Other Boleyn Girl (2003 film)
Mary narrates that all the men were beheaded , and that Anne 's death followed two days later . She says that she left court and has the children under her care , and that she is happy as a nobody with William Stafford .
Sleepy Hollow (film)

Van Garrett had made a new will just before he died , leaving all his possessions to his secret new bride , Emily Winship , whom Crane discovers was pregnant with Van Garrett 's child . Crane deduces that all who knew about the new will , the marriage and the pregnancy were the victims of the Horseman and that Katrina 's father Baltus Van Tassel ( Michael Gambon ) , who would have inherited the fortune , is the person holding the skull . Katrina , finding out that Crane suspects her father , burns all the evidence that Crane has accumulated .
Charles Dickens
In early September 1860 , in a field behind Gad 's Hill , Dickens made a bonfire of most of his correspondence -- only those letters on business matters were spared . Since Ellen Ternan also destroyed all of his letters to her , the extent of the affair between the two remains speculative . In the 1930s , Thomas Wright recounted that Ternan had unburdened herself with a Canon Benham , and gave currency to rumours they had been lovers . That the two had a son who died in infancy was alleged by Dickens 's daughter , Kate Perugini , whom Gladys Storey had interviewed before her death in 1929 . Storey published her account in Dickens and Daughter , but no contemporary evidence exists . On his death , Dickens settled an annuity on Ternan which made her a financially independent woman . Claire Tomalin 's book , The Invisible Woman , argues that Ternan lived with Dickens secretly for the last 13 years of his life . The book was subsequently turned into a play , Little Nell , by Simon Gray , and a 2013 film .
Reactions to On the Origin of Species
The Huxleys became close family friends , frequently visiting Down House . When their 3 - year - old son died of scarlet fever they were badly affected . Henrietta Huxley brought their three infants to Down in March 1861 where Emma helped to console her , while Huxley continued with his working - men 's lectures at the Royal School of Mines , writing that `` My working men stick with me wonderfully , the house fuller than ever , By next Friday evening they will all be convinced that they are monkeys . ''

`` ( ... ) The eye of man hath not heard , the ear of man hath not seen , man 's hand is not able to taste , his tongue to conceive , nor his heart to report , what my dream was . I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream : it shall be called ' Bottom 's Dream ' , because it hath no bottom ; and I will sing it in the latter end of a play , before the Duke . Peradventure , to make it the more gracious , I shall sing it at her death . '' ( 4.1. 209 -- 216 )
Simba
When Kate Middleton , Duchess of Cambridge went into labor with hers and Prince William 's baby in July 2013 , the idea that the couple should reenact the famous scene from The Lion King became quite popular among Twitter users . Radio journalist Darren Simpson reportedly tweeted , `` when your baby arrives please re-enact the scene from the Lion King '' . Shortly after Middleton gave birth to a boy , England native Tommy Peto initiated a petition asking the couple to welcome their baby by having the Archbishop of Canterbury emulate the scene by holding him over the balcony of Buckingham Palace . Ultimately , the idea was deemed `` outside the responsibility of the government '' and was declined .
Nick Bottom
This speech seems to be a comically jumbled evocation of a passage from the New Testament 's 1 Corinthians 2.9 -- 10 :
Rosaline
Why , then , O brawling love ! O loving hate ! O any thing , of nothing first create ! O heavy lightness ! serious vanity ! Mis - shapen chaos of well - seeming forms ! Feather of lead , bright smoke , cold fire , sick health ! Still - waking sleep , that is not what it is ! This love feel I , that feel no love in this . Dost thou not laugh ?

Steven Doloff also suggests that Bottom 's humorous and foolish performance at the end of `` A Midsummer Night 's Dream '' mimics a passage from the previous chapter of Corinthians :

When Will had entered Ben 's apartment , he was being followed by Susan Banks ( Eileen Davidson ) , who was planning to abduct Will in an act of revenge against Sami , whom she blamed for her son EJ 's death . When Ben slipped out after strangling Will , Susan and her associate Dr Wilhelm Rolf ( who had revived Sami 's step - dad John back when he was thought to be dead ) secretly entered , and Dr Rolf found Will to be unconscious but breathing . He then injected Will with something that would make him appear to be dead . After Lucas and Sami had viewed Will in the morgue , Dr Rolf revived Will . It turns out that Will 's family unwittingly buried an empty coffin at his funeral , and Will , who had lost all his memories , was taken by Susan , who took care of him , but made him believe that he was her son EJ .
The Merchant of Venice
The play has been quoted and paraphrased several times in the Star Trek Universe :
Spanish Armada
The Armada is vividly described in Ken Follett 's third novel of the Kingsbridge series , Column of Fire ( 2017 ) . The preparations of the Armada and the Battle of Gravelines form the backdrop of two graphic novels in Bob de Moors Cori , de Scheepsjongen ( `` Cori le Moussaillon '' in French , `` Cori , the Cabin Boy '' in English ) ( Les Espions de la Reine and Le Dragon des Mers ' ) . In them , Cori the cabin boy works as a spy in the Armada for the English . The Armada and intrigues surrounding its threat to England form the backdrop of the films Fire Over England ( 1937 ) , with Laurence Olivier and Flora Robson , and The Sea Hawk with Errol Flynn . The Battle of Gravelines and the subsequent chase around the northern coast of Scotland form the climax of Charles Kingsley 's 1855 novel Westward Ho ! , which in 1925 became the first novel to be adapted into a radio drama by BBC . In golf , Spaniard pros Seve Ballesteros and José María Olazábal , who had a Ryder Cup record of 11 -- 2 -- 2 as a team -- the best record for a pairing in the history of the competition -- came to be called the `` Spanish Armada '' . The Battle of Gravelines is the climax of the 2007 film , Elizabeth : The Golden Age starring Cate Blanchett and Clive Owen . In the twentieth season of The Simpsons , the episode Four Great Women and a Manicure depicts the reason for the Armada 's attack as Queen Elizabeth 's rebuff of the King of Spain . Homer Simpson ( as Walter Raleigh ) accidentally sets the only English ship on fire ; then collides with the Armada , setting all their ships on fire , creating victory for England . Winston Graham wrote a history of `` The Spanish Armadas '' and a historical novel , The Grove of Eagles , based on it -- the plural `` Armadas '' referring to a lesser - known second attempt by Philip II of Spain to conquer England during 1598 , which Graham argued was better planned and organized than the famous one of 1588 but was foiled by a fierce storm scattering the Spanish ships and sinking many of them .

Spanish Armada
Homer Simpson ( as Walter Raleigh ) accidentally sets the only English ship on fire ; then collides with the Armada , setting all their ships on fire , creating victory for England . Winston Graham wrote a history of `` The Spanish Armadas '' and a historical novel , The Grove of Eagles , based on it -- the plural `` Armadas '' referring to a lesser - known second attempt by Philip II of Spain to conquer England during 1598 , which Graham argued was better planned and organized than the famous one of 1588 but was foiled by a fierce storm scattering the Spanish ships and sinking many of them . Bertolt Brecht 's 1935 poem Questions From a Worker Who Reads , written to emphasize the role played by the lower classes in history , includes the lines : `` Philip of Spain wept when his armada went down . Was he the only one to weep ? '' ( marxists.org ) . Several alternate history writers have published variant descriptions of how history might have proceeded had the Spanish Armada won , including John Brunner ( Times Without Number , 1962 ) , Keith Roberts ( Pavane , 1969 ) and Harry Turtledove ( Ruled Britannia 2002 ) .
Hundred Years' War
In August 1415 , Henry V sailed from England with a force of about 10,500 and laid siege to Harfleur . The city resisted for longer than expected , but finally surrendered on 22 September 1415 . Because of the unexpected delay , most of the campaign season was gone . Rather than march on Paris directly , Henry elected to make a raiding expedition across France toward English - occupied Calais . In a campaign reminiscent of Crécy , he found himself outmaneuvered and low on supplies and had to fight a much larger French army at the Battle of Agincourt , north of the Somme . Despite the problems and having a smaller force , his victory was near - total ; the French defeat was catastrophic , costing the lives of many of the Armagnac leaders . About 40 % of the French nobility was killed . Henry was apparently concerned that the large number of prisoners taken were a security risk ( there were more French prisoners than there were soldiers in the entire English army ) and he ordered their deaths . Treaty
History of tennis
Royal interest in England began with Henry V ( 1413 -- 22 . ) Henry VIII ( 1509 -- 47 ) made the biggest impact as a young monarch ; playing the game with gusto at Hampton Court on a court he built in 1530 . It is believed that his second wife Anne Boleyn was watching a game when she was arrested and that Henry was playing when news of her execution arrived . During the reign of James I ( 1603 -- 25 ) , London had 14 courts . Drawing
Monarchy of the United Kingdom
Henry IV was the grandson of Edward III and the son of John of Gaunt , Duke of Lancaster ; hence , his dynasty was known as the House of Lancaster . For most of his reign , Henry IV was forced to fight off plots and rebellions ; his success was partly due to the military skill of his son , the future Henry V. Henry V 's own reign , which began in 1413 , was largely free from domestic strife , leaving the king free to pursue the Hundred Years ' War in France . Although he was victorious , his sudden death in 1422 left his infant son Henry VI on the throne and gave the French an opportunity to overthrow English rule .
Spanish Armada
Most military historians hold that the battle of Gravelines reflected a lasting shift in the balance of naval power in favour of the English , in part because of the gap in naval technology and cannon armament it confirmed between the two nations , which continued into the next century . In the words of Geoffrey Parker , by 1588 , `` the capital ships of the Elizabethan navy constituted the most powerful battlefleet afloat anywhere in the world '' . The English navy yards were leaders in technical innovation and the captains devised new battle formations and tactics . Parker argues that the sleeker full - rigged ship , amply cannoned , was one of the greatest technological advances of the century and permanently transformed naval warfare .
House of Lords
The power of the nobility declined during the civil wars of the late 15th century , known as the Wars of the Roses . Much of the nobility was killed on the battlefield or executed for participation in the war , and many aristocratic estates were lost to the Crown . Moreover , feudalism was dying , and the feudal armies controlled by the barons became obsolete . Henry VII ( 1485 -- 1509 ) clearly established the supremacy of the monarch , symbolised by the `` Crown Imperial '' . The domination of the Sovereign continued to grow during the reigns of the Tudor monarchs in the 16th century . The Crown was at the height of its power during the reign of Henry VIII ( 1509 -- 1547 ) .
Tower of London
Much of the latter half of the 15th century was occupied by the Wars of the Roses between the claimants to the throne , the houses of Lancaster and York . The castle was once again besieged in 1460 , this time by a Yorkist force . The Tower was damaged by artillery fire but only surrendered when Henry VI was captured at the Battle of Northampton . With the help of Richard Neville , 16th Earl of Warwick ( nicknamed `` the Kingmaker '' ) Henry recaptured the throne for a short time in 1470 . However , Edward IV soon regained control and Henry VI was imprisoned in the Tower of London , where he was probably murdered . During the wars , the Tower was fortified to withstand gunfire , and provided with loopholes for cannons and handguns : an enclosure was created for this purpose to the south of Tower Hill , although it no longer survives . The
Windsor Castle
By the middle of the 15th century England was increasingly divided between the rival royal factions of the Lancastrians and the Yorkists . Castles such as Windsor did not play a decisive role during the resulting Wars of the Roses ( 1455 -- 85 ) , which were fought primarily in the form of pitched battles between the rival factions . Henry VI , born at Windsor Castle and known as Henry of Windsor , became king at the young age of nine months . His long period of minority , coupled with the increasing tensions between Henry 's Lancastrian supporters and the Yorkists , distracted attention from Windsor . The Garter Feasts and other ceremonial activities at the castle became more infrequent and less well attended .
