Planet Of The Apes gets my vote.

Jeepers Creepers started off so well but just got silly once it was clear he was some winged indestructible creature
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

Mullholland Drive should not even be on that list!!! evil

DAVID LYNCH IS BRILLIANT!!!!! Many people didn't understand this movie, but that doesn't make it bad.

Of the ones I saw, I can vouch that "Jeepers Creepers" was very VERY bad.

And for the record, the worst movie of that year was, hands down, Pearl Harbour, followed not far behind by AI.

While I DETESTED Moulin Rouge I have to say its because it justisn't my bag. I'm not so sure it belongs on that list either. It was successful in what it set out to accomplish (I just don't like what that is).

Vanilla Sky is the best thing that came out of 2001... It never ceases to amaze me how most (Americans at that) have to have explosions and an simply story line to keep them watching, not to mention a story line that an infant could follow... and THIS movie was one EASY to follow lol
If u were to include this movie as "worst" then u simply dont want to pay attention... If u dont like it, thats fine, but it is not by any standards "Worst" or a bad movie..

my favorite line in Glitter is when... somebody, i don't remember who... asks Mariah's character... "Have you ever thought about acting?"


i almost wish i'd seen this in a theater so i could scream "NO" at the screen biggrin

My problem with Vanilla Sky is that it was TOO dumbed down for Americans, with the whole "Basil Exposition" character who showed up at the end to explain it to all the morons in the audience who didn't "get it". If it hadn't have been for that, it would have been one of my favorite films of the year.

Yeah, but what do u expect? Most didnt need that person to show up, but it didnt ruin the show for me, simply because of the plot creation they used... (LE) I think it was a well thought out movie that deals with more real things than the basic standard movie.. It is my favorite movie of all time..

It was breathtaking for me also... in the sense that I almost choked on my popcorn several times at how atrociously bad it was! I could have filmed me taking a crap and it would have been a better "film"! Bloody awful!

Well see, that's the problem right there. I expected more out of Cameron Crowe than for him to "dumb down" his movie. That's part of why I like Mulholland Drive so much (a similar film, in that both are fantasy creations of the main character, with reality intruding) because it didn't explain it. The viewer was left to figure it out for him/herself, even if it took multiple viewings. The people who weren't going to get it had already decided they hated it by the time it got to the explanation anyway, so it just wasn't necessary. I think Cameron should have trusted his intelligent viewers, and ignored all the rest.

I agree, The funny thing is.. There is a Majority that stands to NOT understanding the movie, and saying "I hate that movie, It sucks" simply because they didnt udnerstand it.. EVEN with an explanation at the end... It just amazes me..

Glitter is too easy of a vote...

so I'll go with Planet of the Apes...could've been an awesome remake, and was hugely disappointing...watching a movie full of Michael Jackson look-a-likes was simply NOT FUN smile

Not all of them looked like Michael, just Helena Bonham Carter's character. Still, it was better than Pearl Harbour or AI. Those were two incredibly craptacular wastes of film!
