Once I saw Troll 2 it completely discredited it. Troll 2 is one of the worst films ever made.

Saw Troll 2 on there, so I'm inclined to agree with the rest of his list.

This list is a failure without The Room.

Probably tilted a little heavier in the obscure direction.
But honestly, is Troll 2 on that list because he considers it so bad it's brilliant?

Then you haven't seen it. Troll 2 is memorable and will stick with you forever.

Interesting list. I've probably only seen 3 of them so I'll have to check a lot of these out. Thanks for posting

Exactly why I posted.
These are interesting films

I've seen Running Scared and I thought it was a decent movie.
The scene with the pedophiles is one of my favorite movie scenes, it is just so odd but great at the same time.

A fun movie but it instantly invalidates this list.

Why? It's a landmark in the exploitation genre

I wasn't expecting to have to defend my statement and you do make a valid point about it being a "landmark". I am stupefied.
All I have is "50 Best"?

What are the qualifications for this list? Death Wish 3? This is a really strange list.
