We Are Movie Geeks End of the Year Wrap-Up: Worst Films of 2008

Submitted by Movie Geeks on Wednesday, 3 December 20089 Comments

Ah, the year that was.  Like any year, 2008 had its cinematic ups and downs.  In the next couple of weeks, we’ll go over our own, personal pros and cons of the films 2008 had to offer.

THE WORST

This week, we bring you the downs, the worst, the film-world equivalent to naval lint.  These are the worst films of the year, our own Bottom 10 of 2008.  Of course, this list was put together before the end of the year, so who knows what God awful gems we may have put added by January 1, 2009.  Something tells me ‘Bedtime Stories’ could have made the cut.

  9. 88 Minutes
  10. Hottie and the Nottie
There you have it, boys and girls.  The worst of the worst that 2008 had to offer.  What did you think?  Did we miss any?  Is Michelle crazy for having ‘Speed Racer’ and ‘Hancock’ on her list?  Do ‘Disaster Movie’ and ‘Meet the Spartans’ even qualify as movies?  Surprised to not see any Uwe Boll movies for the first time in about a decade?

Our end-of-the-year wrap-up continues next week with: BEST SUPPORTING PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR (MALE OR FEMALE)

    The only one I can disagree with is Indiana Jones. Disappointing? Ok, I can buy that. One of the worst movies of 2008 over the many choices named above. No way!

    I’m surprised Fool’s Gold didn’t make anyone’s list.

    WHAT?! Forgetting Sarah Marshall was not even remotely bad..thats just crazy talk.

    Aaron, you must disregard Michelle, she is a big fan of The Happening so she had to find something else besides that for her number 1 spot.

    I think Michelle is hust pissed because she knew everyone (except Travis) would have the Happening high on their lists…so she threw out some crazy films to lead the conversation away from her favorite “windy” flick! Sarah Marshall was one of the funniest movies this year and should not grace any of these lists. There were alot of bad films in 2008 and it was hard to narrow it to 10. Thankfully it was only the ones we had seen. I was lucky enough to miss Hottie and witless protection.

    If by fools you mean ridiculously AWESOME then yes! And I too left The Happening off of my list. I think that there were films WAY WORSE!
