[@flaccidusminimus2170]

Indeed, he said during their initial review that it was the closest he had ever come to walking out of a movie! Although, because it was a February release, perhaps he either forgot about it or the passage of time diminished his animosity. I think these shows made much more sense in earlier years when the hosts didn't waste time *ranking* the year's worst (who really cares?) and instead divided the year's greatest offences into trends and categories, only singling out their individual choices for #1 Worst.

Surprised no mention of "The Amityville Horror "

[@flaccidusminimus2170]

Fair point. I find it strange that Ebert wasted time singling out "D.E.B.S." and "Undead". Fast-faders that were barely released, died quickly at the box-office, and that few people had heard of even in 2005. This appears to violate his longstanding rule with Gene Siskel that it wasn't fair to use this annual special to pick on small, obscure movies, only big budget affairs or big star vehicles. "The Amityville Horror" was a major studio movie and (apparently) godawful, with a 1.5 star review from Ebert. It would have been a more appropriate choice for this program.

Their rapport in the first 2 years (2000-2002) was decent because Ebert still had the energy to drive the act and Dick Roeper was still trying to prove himself as a serious co-host.

Salivary gland cancer first hit him in 2003, and he underwent surgery that year shortly after visiting the Cannes Film Festival. His physical decline was clear to everyone who watched, and in my view it dragged the show down because his energy was gone. The program also became increasingly gimmcky around that time.

Guess who the 2005 remake of the sweet 1967 the late Spencer Tracey and late sidney poitier classic was made 17 years before poitier passed away, thankfully he did not want to see this one.

Be Cool was also terrible, but had too much competition for a Bottom 10 list.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

How so?

[@Shorty_Lickens]

@@stefanmovieflixtomasi your question is kinda vague. Im gonna guess you meant "how so did it have too much competition" and my answer is all the others are REALLY bad. Like loud, epic, in your face bad. DEBS, son of the mask, doom, Elektra, Fantastic Four, Monster in law, Miss Congeniality 2, The Legend of Zorro. All horrible rotten movies in terms of plot, acting, and even minor stuff like the camera angles and sounds. Be Cool was just lazy, like it was full of self referential meta humor before it became popular, but thats boring and not inspired, and in some cases groan worthy. But its not big loud epic bad, like Battlefield Earth.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

@@Shorty_Lickens I think Battlefield Earth is the worst. As for recommendations involving John Travolta or other crime comedies that are underrated, I recommend Swordfish with Hugh Jackman and as for crime comedies, I recommend Made with Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau and a music one by the name of In the Mix. It’s with Usher and Emmanuelle Chriqui, it’s got a vibe of The Bodyguard

Any film that doesn’t allow Jessica Alba to showcase her full acting ability..is doomed to failure!

In going through these "worst" compilations from the early '80s on, it's apparent that the worst movies keep getting worse with each passing year.

Fantastic Four (2005) really wasn’t that bad. The cast carried it to being a solid movie IMO. Watching this, I can only imagine how much Ebert would have hated the FF reboot if he lived to see it.

I agree with you about the Fantastic Four (2005) version. However, I hate the 2015 reboot.

The classic back-and-forths between Siskel and Ebert was actually great TV in and of itself. They had to stand each other, they didn’t have any other choice. Roeper on the other hand was hand-picked by Ebert himself, and it shows. More lapdog than critic. And somehow excrutiatingly smug.

[@nonamewillbegiven2412]

You say that like Ebert and Siskel wasn't smug themselves
