The 25 Worst Movies of All Time, Ranked From iconic yet disastrous cult classics like Plan 9 from Outer Space to spectacular modern misfires like Cats, these are the worst movies ever made.

Collider published yet another film list. I've only seen 4/25 "worst films of all time". But which ones? 🀨

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Dear @severinfilms.bsky.social, why is the disk for Penda's Fen & Robin Redbreast in the #allthehauntsbeours vol 1 set region A only? And have I missed a whole previous discussion where you justified this? Any other discs in this, or vol 2, likewise restricted I should know about in advance?

Making my way through @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours vol 1. I'd seen this before, and enjoyed it very much. I'm just not sure how it is #folkhorror.

At @kierlajanisse.bsky.social 's suggestion, many years ago, I watched this remarkable film for the first time. Finishing @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours vol 1 - I'm so glad this film exists on Blu-ray now. Very strong recommendation!

I figured I should finish volume 1 of @severinfilms.bsky.social #allthehauntsbeours before moving on to volume 2. I bloody love this film! I first saw Clearcut at TIFF in '91, at the world premiere. I sat just a few seats away from Graham Greene. This is the film that made me a life long Greene fan!

2 Copies of La Dolce Morte. The book is yellow, with a masked guy in a black hat choking a lady.

2 Copies of La Dolce Morte. The book is yellow, with a masked guy in a black hat choking a lady.

Today's from the archives: La Dolce Morte by Mikel Koven / @drmikel.bsky.social. Why 2 copies? 1 for business 1 to keep pristine :D

I talk about the importance of this book to me at @saratantlinger.bsky.social 's website back in 2020:

I enjoyed it, but mostly for the cast. It's not "good". But it is fun.

I'd never seen this before. Cracker of a film, even if the ending is a bit abrupt.

I had no idea how to pronounce "wassel" as in "wasselling". "Wor-sill". Now I don't look quite the idiot when I mispronounce it.

St John's Wort: the first of the @arrowvideo.bsky.social #J-HorrorRising box set films I've actually liked. Or, at the very least, showed some originality to in it's storytelling.
