Now, what should we do next?

I would say 80s comedy. How many of these have you done before?

Worst Movie of all time Tournament

Battlefield Earth.

There you go. It’s over.

Other top contenders but not close to Battlefirld:

After Earth
The Happening
(M.Knight WTF?)

The Last Jedi
Nightbitch

I was planning on reading this and getting pissed...but I can't because I 100% agree. No Horror movie has stuck with me like The Exorcist. This is one is spot on.

Best Clint Eastwood flik
Best John Wayne

My only hold up with Sci Fi is that if we let Star Wars in, you can pretty much pencil in Empire Strikes Back as the winner. And probably all three of the original trilogy in at least the Elite 8. i could be wrong though.

Eh, not necessarily (although IIRC I think Empire won Freaux's original thread...I'll let him chime in on that.
