    Michael (1996)

    The first of two collaborations between John Travolta and director Nora Ephron, "Lucky Numbers" was the second. Whereas "Michael" was a hit despite so-so reviews, "Lucky Numbers" was poorly received and completely bombed. The latter film came out the same year as Battlefield Earth (2000 by the way), which was not a good year for Travolta.
  2. They have covered Wild Wild West, After Earth, and especially Winter's Tale where he appears as, of all things, the devil!

    Mommie Dearest

    Faye Dunaway plays Joan Crawford based on her daughter Christina's autobiography of the same name, accusing her adoptive mother of child abuse. What's there to say about this camp classic that helped turned the Razzies for what they are. "No wire hangers ever!" or "Tina, bring me the ax!" This is the film that destroyed Dunaway's career, and to this day, she refuses to discuss about it ever since. Let's get Mommie Dearest to the HDTGM pantheon!

    Tarzan the Ape Man (1981)

    This is the film that proves that Bo Derek has the looks, but not the acting ability, making 10 her only good movie that wasn't directed by her husband.

    The Keep (1983)

    This is the one movie Michael Mann refuses to talk about, has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray and was considered his only worst film, until Blackhat came out early in 2015.

    Tough Guys Don't Dance (1987)

    This helped the end of Ryan O'Neal's leading man career, with the scene being, of course, him saying "oh god, oh man" over and over again!

    Blind Fury (1989)

    Inspired by the popular Zatoichi films from Japan folks.

    Fred Claus (2007)

    The first of two bad Christmas movies to star Vince Vaughn people! (The other was Four Christmases.)

    My Boss's Daughter (2003)

    One of the worst films directed by one of the Zucker brothers and the beginning of the end of Tara Reid's career.

    Dragonfly (2002)

    This proves that director Tom Shadyac fares worse when Jim Carrey is not in one of his movies (also Patch Adams and Evan Almighty) with the exception of The Nutty Professor.

    The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)

    It is a better remake directed by John McTiernan from a previous Norman Jewison film than the other McTiernan-Jewison remake that would come later ("Rollerball").

    Sleeping With The Enemy (1991)

    This is the movie that clearly inspired Safe Haven (woman runs away from abusive hubby, heads to another town, falls for a nice guy, husband finds her and tries to kill them) except without the ghost twist at the end.

    Man Trouble (1992)

    Jack Nicholson is one of a few actors nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. Obviously the Oscar nod was for "A Few Good Men", while he got nominated for a Worst Actor Razzie not just for "Man Trouble", but also for "Hoffa" as well.

    Rising Sun (1993)

    At the time it was considered director Philip Kaufman's weakest effort, until Twisted starring Ashley Judd sealed the deal in 2004.

    The film is most infamous for when Pia Zadora won an undeserved Golden Globe for Best New Star, beating out the likes of Kathleen Turner in "Body Heat" and Elizabeth McGovern in "Ragtime".

    Neighbors (1981)

    Notable for being John Belushi's last film, and for the attempt for both him and Dan Aykroyd going against type with Belushi being the straight man and Aykroyd being the crazy guy.

    Fresh Horses (1988)

    There's also very early parts from Ben Stiller and Viggo Mortensen, not to mention was directed by none other than the guy who did "Hoosiers" and "Rudy" (David Anspaugh)!

    Larger Than Life (1996)

    They did get released a year apart and oddly enough, the elephant from this movie was also the same one from Operation Dumbo Drop!

    Avenging Angelo (2002)

    This was also the second film that Madeleine Stowe and Anthony Quinn worked on together, the first was 1990's Revenge. The difference is that in Revenge, they played husband-and-wife, while in this movie they are father-and-daughter. And it was Anthony Quinn's final movie role, as it came out a year after his passing.
