And here we are, at the end of our journey. These are the quintessential terrible movies that you still must see. Most of these were epic failures that the filmmakers took seriously.They were movies that weren't expected to be as bad as they are, which makes them all the more entertaining. So, if you have free time and just want to zone out during a movie, but be pleasantly surprised by the idiocy of the feature, these are your suggestions. Enjoy...or don't. Your call.

When people ask me where I'm from, the answer is St. Marys, Pennsylvania, but always with further explanation: "it's an hour north of Punxsutawney, where the groundhog is" or "it's a little over an hour south of the New York border." Either way, I always say that my hometown is made up of people who grew up there or near there, because no one ends "ends up" in St. Marys, Pennsylvania. As much as I may look at that place as the middle of nowhere, it also has a lot of good people and things - I would never think people that still lived there were failures or anything like that. I love going back there. Though, not for long.

The Definitive Fantastically Terrible Films: 20-11

Some more recent messes of the 21st century this entry, as we begin to get to the top (or bottom) of the list. Although these are bad films, a few of these movies were really made with quite a bit of love, though maybe misguided. The most prolific B-movie director of all time is on this list, plus some of the biggest flops of all time. Here they are - #20 through #11.

The Definitive Fantastically Terrible Films: 30-21

As we continue wading through the slop that is this list of films, I can't help but stop to think there are people who actually like these films, and not in an ironic way. There is a collection of audience members who walked out of all of these films saying "that was every bit as good as I thought it would be and more; I would watch that again right now because of the brilliant filmmaking." Well, maybe not exactly that, but some semblance of it. Anyway, here's #30 through #21.

The Definitive Fantastically Terrible Films: 40-31

As we move forward, we start running into some of the more popular picks by critics for the worst movies of all time. I'll admit to being a fan of a few in this group when I was younger, but have since re-watched and just been flabbergasted at the stupidity of them. Still, I can't help but have a soft spot for a movie I barely remember but maintain a love for. So, here's #40 through #31 of the movies so bad that you have to see them.

The Definitive Fantastically Terrible Films: 50-41

For every classic film ever made, there are dozens...nay, hundreds...nay, thousands of films that are just not good. But, among those terrible, terrible movies are some that are so bad that they just have to be seen to be believed. Many of these have become cult films for that purpose alone, but many just get ignored until topics like this come up. These films are critically panned, some to the point that they are loved because of it. Some of the earlier ones on the list you can chalk up to my personal feelings, but most follow suit with other lists I've seen similar to this one. So, here are the definitive bad movies that I would recommend you see for pure spectacle. So, here we go with #50 through #41.

And here we are at the end of the road. We've looked at #50 through #11, and now we've hit the top ten definitive movies of the 00's. It's amazing how dramatic these are. I could argue two are technically comedies, but only in a broad sense. We were hit early in the decade with the biggest tragedy in our country's history, which seemed to give way to a bevy of darker, more dramatic films. Without further ado, let's look at the final ten - the ones that, years from now, will stand up as the iconic ones from the 2000's.
