100 Leprechaun (1993) 3.6 (1712 votes)


That's 54 of 100. There are a number of films there that I don't think deserve being rated as badly as they are, such as Nothing But Trouble and Freddy Got Fingered but some of them deserve to be rated much, much lower. I also think that there are alot of movies on the list that are there because people assume that they are bad and vote for them. Really, should the movies of Ed Wood even be on this list? I think that they are so bad as to transcend all reality.

And for the sake of parity, here's my list of Top 100
