Alert reader Ed suggests:
I have noted a time or two that when somebody calls “Manos” or “Fu Manchu” the worst movie ever, it’s because they haven’t seen some of the films being made in places far from Hollywood. Me? I’ve seen the Catman movies. So what truly truly truly bottom-of-the-barrel movies have you discovered? |
