Best-Worst Movies

The terrible reviews across the board for The Love Guru made me wonder where it ranks on the list of the worst rated movies of all time. I decided to use Metacritic to find out.

Here’s a list of the all-time low scores for movies on Metacritic. The Love Guru is in a tie with a bunch of other movies as the 184th worst movie of all time. Granted, Metacritic doesn’t go that far back in time (the oldest movie on the list is from 1983), but it’s still fun to see how bad The Love Guru is relative to other movies over the last few decades. Also, note that Metacritic only takes into account professional critics opinions. Consumer reviews are not incorporated into the ratings on this list.

Once I found the all-time low scores list on Metacritic, I made up a simple game: find the worst rated movie that I can genuinely say I think is fantastic. I ended up choosing Billy Madison in a tie for 66th place as the most critically-panned movie that I genuinely love. What would you choose?
