  100 Worst Movies - List of films considered the worst - Greatest Box-Office Bombs, Disasters and Flops - IMDb Bottom 100

 
...SOME OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES (in alphabetical order):
84 Charing Cross Road (1986) - Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft in a wonderful film directed by Bancroft's husband Mel Brooks....and it's not a comedy!
Citizen Kane (1941) - Orson Welles' masterpiece
Fargo (1996) - offbeat film with Best Actress Oscar winner Frances McDormand 
Inherit the Wind (1960) - starring Spencer Tracy and Gene Kelly (his best role and he doesn't dance one little bit!)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - sentimental fave starring Jimmy Stewart (my favorite all-time actor)
Jaws (1975) - starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss. I am still afraid of the water (and I am a championship swimmer!)
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) - Oscar winner Gregory Peck and close to the top of my list.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1974) - starring John Cleese, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, and Michael Palin (my favorite Python)
My Fair Lady (1964) - starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. A gorgeous film.
Roman Holiday (1953) - starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in her debut. It is so romantic!
Sense and Sensibility (1995) - starring Emma Thompson. I love Jane Austen. 
Shakespeare in Love (1998) - Funny AND Romantic!
Shenandoah (1965) - another sentimental favorite with Jimmy Stewart. Even after seeing this film dozens of times, I still cry at the end!
When Harry Met Sally... (1989) - starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. This one still makes me laugh!!!
