EDIT: Except for "Sky Captian and the World of Tommorow"...What a waste of seven bucks...and the only movie I've seen that I can consider crap.

Yeah, you add a smiley at the end of your post like you think what you say is right, when in fact you have crap judgement when it some to acceptible movies. Minority Report was good, based on a short story in fact, and you were probably too dumb to understand it. Spirited Away, even if you don't like anime, was a great artistic acheivement. Eyes Wide Shut is Stanley Kubrick, who is primarily excellent.

It would appear that the problem here is primarially your dislike of action movies. Minority Report was a little slow at times, and I can understand someone not being overly enamoured with I, Robot (I was pleasently suprised), BlackHawk Down was an absolutely fantastic movie. Certainly, none of them could be called terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

That aside: the Wing Commander Movie. Sucked out loud.

Not sure, but at any rate, it was an abominable piece of filth. Thank God it wasn't the final movie starring the TOS cast (it was going to be, originally), 'cause that would have been an awful way to end their great legacy.

Oh, that was bad in ways that should really be left to the imagination. I'd blocked that one entirely.

Curiously, all the odd-numbered ones are worse than any of the even-numbered ones (although there are one or two comparisons that could be debated). V is far and away the worst.

ST1 wasn't bad it was just way too long. I would of liked to known what happened after with VGEr/Star creature.

ST3:TSFS was actually pretty good I enjoyed it had a intresting philosphy about should we or shouldn't we create life.

ST5 was pretty awful.

ST4, ST6 to me were the best. I actually like ST2 more now since I saw "Space Seed"

I didn't perticular like "Generations" although "First Contact"(I loved Alice Krieg as the Borg Queen) to me was way better. Didn't see "Insurrection" but thought "Nemesis" was ok.

No. Does it make Napoleon Dynamite look deep?

This can be answered with a three word reply:

Kylie
Minogue
Acting

When you put those words together (and mind you those words should never be put together, lest you summon a fiend from hell), it spells "s*$t bomb". I'd give Street Fighter the edge on Star Trek V any day. . .at least ST5 had decent music. I haven't seen Starship Troopers II, so I couldn't say it's the worst. That being said, anything that Casper Van Dien walks away from is not something I'd call promising.

That being said, I would have to question some of the other movies mentioned. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, for instance, is probably one of the two best romantic comedies in the last 10 years (Punch-Drunk Love being the other one). I suppose I could see how someone might complain, because of it's very convoluted plot, but seriously, if you don't like it, it's only because you don't understand it. If you went back and watched it again, you'd love it.

Another one I'd question is Kill Bill: Vol. 2. No, it isn't the gleeful splatterfest that Vol. 1 is, but the Bride was never supposed to be a superimposed Resident Evil character. She was supposed to be a living, breathing, human person who could do some wicked-ass things. Vol. 1 was about the wicked-ass things, Vol. 2 was about the humanity.

Perhaps Kill Bill Vol. 2 is misunderstood. Volume one obviously was an homage to Samurai or "Swordsman" flicks. Volume two is an homage to "Kung-Fu" movies. That's why they were so different, and if you go into Vol. 2 expecting a swordsman/Samurai movie you're gonna be VERY dissappointed.

The differences between these two genres is rather starkly shown by the sudden change in attitude from vol 1 to vol 2, no? Its like the difference between a Zatoichi and a Jackie Chan film. Both good, both kinda cheesey, both very different takes on action/martial arts. They are equally good films in many cases though, just as Vol. 1 and 2 were both good films.

Even an untrained eye can tell the difference between a Kung-fu film and a "Swordsman" fim. It doesn't take much. That's the beauty of Volume 2, its an entirely different KIND of flim than Volume 1. Many, many people either don't know the difference or can't appreciate the difference between the two genres.

I think the best example of the difference was actually the deleted scene from Vol. 2 that I saw on the DVD. It showed a VERY funny fight scene that was full of silly/outrageous moves, intentional bad dubbing, and truly admirable non-acting, al la Kung Fu movies.

EDIT: Except for "Sky Captian and the World of Tommorow"...What a waste of seven bucks...and the only movie I've seen that I can consider crap.
Ohh, you're right there. That was so bloody boring.
Is it me, or are movies becoming worse? I rarely go to the cinema anymore, cause I'm worried about wasting hard-earned cash on seeing crap. Instead I usually buy the DVDs for a 1/6 of the cost of going to the cinema, and then if I really enjoyed it, go to watch it at the movies (I like the size of the screen and sound and whole 'going to the movies' experience).
Last movie I did that for was 'The Incredibles'

Movie I saw last night was 'Cellular'. Now there's a turkey. 80 minute ad for Nokia phone, with dumb 1-dimensional characters (dumb bad cops who get filmed shooting a drug dealer in broad daylight - they're high ranking detectives too, so why they're chasing drug dealers I don't know), and a extremely irritating (and surprisingly unattractive) Kim Bassinger who whines, cries and apologises softly the whole movie, even when she kills a guy (thought that was funny because of it).
And she's only a High school teacher (and even though she sees her son of to school, she doesn't have to go herself). Her husband's a real estate agent and they live in this fucking enormous mansion, two storeys, swimming pool, maid, huge backyard, the lot. How much money do teachers get in the States? Cause I now want to immigrate.
Throw in the cop ready to retire after 27 years on the force just for more 1-dimensional characters - and it's William H Macy, who great actor that he is, just can't do tough angry cop.
At the start of the movie Ryan can't go upstairs in a precinct to get a detective, because he'll lose cell phone coverage with Jessica (Apparently his awesome phone, even though it has video recording doesn't have caller ID or redial functions). Thus he has to go it alone.
Amazingly, right at the end of the movie his phone suddenly does obtain caller ID and he is able to call Jessica back.
Also he drives through LA creating havoc. First he steals a car, then drives the wrong way down a highway, then through a building site. Holds up a Cellphone shop, has his car trashed by a truck, so steals a Porsche, reverses the wrong way up a tunnel, speeds along the motorway to the airport, assaults someone in a bank. And the whole time, there are no cops ANYWHERE! No wonder you have a crime problem in America!
Also whereever he needs to go, there's always a space right outside the place.
I really hate movies with big plot holes and lapses in intelligence like that.

I thought of Kill Bill V2 as more of a Western movie, more than a swordsman movie. Hence his use of Ennio Morricone for the soundtrack. Think of it terms of a classic spaghetti western - person hunts down the man who killed their family. It works.

no plan 9 is actually fun, it may be incompetently made and horribly acted but the fact people genuinely love it really excludes it from really being one of the worst films ever made. i watched catwoman a few weeks ago despite the reviews and it really was awful, plan 9 is really a better movie than catwoman.

I see Halle Berry got a razzie for worst actress in a movie for her role as Catwoman. Have to give her kudos, though - she turned up to accept the award, complete with her Oscar she got for 'Monsters Ball'.
GWB won worst actor for his role in Farenheit 9/11.

Agree with you on Plan 9. It so bad, it's worth watching. Have you seen 'Ed Wood'? If not, see it asap. Hilarious movie.
Another one that falls in the category of 'so bad it's funny' is 'Robot Monster'. A truly awful 1950's movie about an alien (not a robot monster at all, so even the title's crap) who comes to Earth to destroy it. He's a man in a gorilla suit with a deep sea diving helmet on, armed with a small tv, rabbit ears and a machine listed in the credits as a 'Billion bubble maker'. You can imagine the quality of the movie based on that.

Try 'Hercules in New York' (sometimes 'Hercules goes bananas') with a very young Arnold Schwarzenegger (called Arnold Strong in the credits). Made 1970, just after he arrived in the USA. They had to dub him, because his accent was so bad.
Strangely enough, he rarely mentions it when asked about his movies.

Actually, almost all Samurai films used the "Western" template as the model for their films, right up to and including riding off into the sunset at the end. Spaghetti westerns spawned "Yojimbo"; Kurosawa's definitive samurai movie, "Seven Samruai" became a western as well.

Thus Kill Bill WAS a western...in the sense that all samurai movies are westerns. Volume 2 though, was less of a western than the first; its focus on her training in her early years, the mastery of a move that her rival couldn't beat, the increased focus on her personal trials all reflect the Hong Kong style of movie making much more than the "westerns" or the US or the "Samurai flicks" of Japan.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians or Plan 9 from Outer Space.

These movies have one redeeming quality, though. They are so ridiculously bad, that they become hilarious.

Edit: Didn't notice that Plan 9 was mentioned. Also, every movie that Lindsay Lohan has been in could be some good runners up.

In no particular order

1. Chronicles of Riddick - Had high hopes, since I liked Pitch Black...oh well
2. The Neverending Story II - Seriously...somebody at the studio had to have been on crack to give this idea the green light
3. Mortal Kombat II: Annihilation - The first one wasn't half bad...this POS however...
4. Battlefield Earth - No "worst movie" list is complete without it :p

5. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow -

Studio Exec: "Hey, I have an idea! Lets make a movie where everything but the actors is computer generated! Then, lets write up a half-assed unoriginal plot, unrealistic set-ups, bad dialogue, and the most HORRIBLE female lead role ever written or thought up! We'll make millions!"
Other execs: "Great idea! Everyone LOVES special effects!"

Sorry for the little rant, Gwyneth Paltrows character in that movie really pissed me off... :p

6. Phone Booth - Colin Farrell shouldn't act...nor should he exist.

7. Any movie starring Hillary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, or anybody from American Idol.

8. The Ring - Honestly...anybody who thought this movie was good, or scary, needs to have their head examined. And they are making a SEQUEL! *shudders*
9. Rollerball (newer version) - Probably the worst acting in a film that I have ever witnessed. And did everyone love the cartoon sound effect when LL Cool J's motorcycle crashed through the barbed wire fence? Yeah...that clinched this movie as worst ever in my opinion.

5. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow -

Studio Exec: "Hey, I have an idea! Lets make a movie where everything but the actors is computer generated! Then, lets write up a half-assed unoriginal plot, unrealistic set-ups, bad dialogue, and the most HORRIBLE female lead role ever written or thought up! We'll make millions!"
Other execs: "Great idea! Everyone LOVES special effects!"

Sorry for the little rant, Gwyneth Paltrows character in that movie really pissed me off... :p

While I disagree with your assessment of the movie as being bad (it's good precisely because of the elements you listed), I just wanted to say that when I saw this in theaters almost everyone applauded when Jude Law's character punched Paltrow's character in the face.

Happy Gilmore (and most other Adam Sandler films)

"Going Overboard" 'starring' Adam Sandler....it was awful. It wasn't even so-painful-it's-funny. It was beyond that. I usually like Adam Sandler movies, thats why I watched it. I've learnt my lesson...

Hunk -
About a skinny little man in glasses who turns into a musclebound man after being granted a wish from his godmother. Until this film, I did not know it was very possible to die from boredom.

Dr (fill in space)'s Island - I heard that this film was the worst film anyone had ever seen, but I don't usually think much to film critics, so I saw it. It 'starred' Marlon Brando.
One of the worst films I have ever seen, so dire, so shit, I was angry with myself for wasting the time to watch it.

Addams Family Values - Terrible all the way. I saw this at the cinema, and was the first film I saw at a cinema where I was drifting off to sleep, numbed at the horror at how bad this film was.


The Talented Mr Ripley - Boring Boring Boring. Boring dialogue, boring story, boring set up. The only interesting scene was when Matt Damon bashed in Jude Law's skull with a boat oar, and even that lasted a second or two, a scene which was shown as a 'highlight' in the trailers. I nearly shat myself in boredom from watching this film, it's disgraceful.

Hearing that they made a sequel, and now are making another sequel, leaves me in disbelief.


Anaconda - Good god! Jon Voight had constipation throughout, and the snake effects were crap. In fact the whole film was crap.

A problem that I see arising here as that people who are not fans of a particular genre are commenting on movies from that genre. It's very easy to dismiss something you wouldn't have any interest in anyway. The best guage for bad movies is to ask those who enjoy a particular genre what films from that genre are poorly done.

Another good way to look at it is to compare the amount of effort involved in the film's production to the actual finished product. Then again, there's only so far that this can go, because I enjoyed Waterworld.

I just remembered another turkey - Rapanui. Anyone seen it? In a word: DON'T.
Wasabi was crap as well. Made worse from the fact it had Jean Reno (a brilliant actor imo) in it. Sad to see great actors doing shite because, presumably, they need the money while shite actors get paid a fortune.

I quite liked 'About Schmidt', aside from the ending. Had some good parts. But then again he was the spitting image of an old neighbour of mine.
Have to agree with you on 'The Matrix' - I finally came to the conclusion that each sequel was designed to be so bad and so boring, that it made the previous one look good. I just thank God they didn't do a 4th.
'Judge Dredd' was horrible if you'd ever (like myself) been into 2000AD and JD. Aside from the Angel Gang in the movie, who looked great. But to be honest I can't remember (probably mercifully) anything else except the starting when Stallone mumbles "Ahhh ahmm tha Largghhh!".
'Thin Red Line' was bad the first time I saw it, but the second time I enjoyed it more. Once you realise that the cliches are intentional, it kinda works. It's meant to be an old-fashioned war movie in it's script, but the scenes obviously aren't. Nice bit of juxtapositioning.

It's a shame because I'd love to see a good JD movie... The problem was in casting Stallone to begin with - It wasn't a Judge Dredd movie, it was a Stallone movie. They should have lined up an unknown actor who's ego wouldn't force them to deviate from the way Judge Dredd was in the original source material.

Yep, Stallone was a terrible choice. Not just because he had to show his face and all, but because he wasn't a Dredd fan. I remembering him saying in an interview that he hadn't read comics since a child and was shocked to see what comics were showing now.
Now, is that the sort of person who should be in a comic-adaption? A resounding NO!!
I'd love to see a good JD movie as well - one that captured his fascism, his humour (mostly unintentional, like arresting a person jumping off a building for littering or a mugging victim for wearing such nice clothes that he was 'just asking for it'), brutality and shear bloody-mindedness and determination.

The Cursed Earth epic would be incredible to see.

Interesting result when you ask for "worst" movies but give no guidance as to how movies should be measured. The one thing that surprsied me is that when you ask for "Best" movies, I'm usually pretty close in agreement with peoples' selections (i.e., they cluster around some expected movies...), but when people are stating their "worst", the replies are all over the park. Some people have listed as their "worst" movies some of my favorites.

If by "worst" you mean the movie that most deeply disturbed me, then "Eraserhead." Absolute David Lynch genius, but it was so genius because with so little, he managed to creep me out so much. Very disturbing movie.

If you're talking "no redeeming social value", then probably something like "Weekend at Bernies" although I did laugh my butt off.

If you're talking complete absence of artistic content, then maybe "Waterworld" (how did you all miss that one?)

One comment - one of the most difficult genres to be successful in is satire - because either the viewer gets it (and laughs) or doesn't (and hates it). There's usually no in between. Movies commented on here that I feel fall into this genre and are thus getting low scores include some of my favorite movies:

Zoolander (you can't be this dumb except on purpose)
Spinal Tap (Ensemble satire at its best, followed up with more of the same in Best in Show, Waiting For Guffman, etc.)
Hudson Hawk (irreverant buddy flick - you don't really think they were trying to take themselves seriously in thos one, do you?)

In my opinion that was the worst movie ever despite winning several awards. It had no story line per say, the acting was unimaginably bad and the rest of it was filled up with people and aliens exploding and being dismembered in a series of rather unrealistically gory scenes all dubbed over with an abysmal soundtrack which I could top by randomly playing notes of my piano.

Take it from one who knows, not even a proper Nihonto (Katana forged in japan by a japanese sword smith) with a folded, sharpened and RC65 hardened blade could cut through a properly temepered rifle barrel. Ever...its total urban myth. However it would make a mark, as the rifle barrels steel would be a little softer...but cut through? No way.

As for Katanas being the 'best swords ever' and superior to western swords :rolleyes: (urban myth once again), there is no such thing as a best sword, only the most appropriate sword for the best swordsman. Western swords were every bit as good as Japanese Katanas, just a complicated to construct, and were every bit as capable in the right hands. Don't try telling me a katana is better than a damascus bladed mid 15th century hand and a half. They are simply both deadly in the right hands.

1) The Scarlet Letter - If there ever was a reason for Nathaniel Hawthorne to rise up from the grave and go Romero on Demi Moore and Hollywood in general, this is it.

2) Street Fighter - More corn and cheese than you'll find in a bag of anything from Frito-Lay. So shitty in general it was probably a contributing factor to Raul Julia's untimely demise. Jean-Claude Van Damme's career was long dead before he did this so it wasn't an actual casualty.

3) Mortal Kombat Annihilation - Another corn and cheese product like Street Fighter, except it has yet to kill any superb actors/actresses or their careers. The MK movies to me didn't take themselves seriously enough (with so many nauseating inside jokes). In fact the syndicated series and even the Superfriends-ish cartoon took themselves more seriously than the movies.

4) Catwoman - I had the blessings to not see this crapsterpiece, but when they had to resort to whoring a reference to classic Batman Mythos to try and hawk a piss-poor Crow ripoff, that says it all folks.

Chronicles Of Riddick - Unimaginably bad. This one tops it for me. Wooden acting, no plot, relatively little action (you've got to decide if you want lots of action or lots of plot) and horrible horrible horrible scientific mistakes. Such as hiding from a drastically hot sun by hiding in a shady mountain. Sorry, but it was just so bad. Vin Diesel should be horsewhipped for his horrible acting and the directing for bastardising a Pitch Black character.

Plan 9 From Outer Space - Even though I laughed my head off during this film, it deserves a place in this forum. Go Edward D Wood!

Matrix Reloaded - Only saw this film for Hugo Weaving and was utterly disapointed. Only a small segement with him. Revolutions is boderline but Weaving makes up for it in that one for me.

Anaconda - A snake that looks like a muppet and a waterfall flowing backwards should be a clue. But apparently not.

Street Fighter - Apparently I missed something. I thought Ken and Ryu were the main characters of Street Fighter. Oh well, settle for Jean Claude Van-Dam unbelievably bad Muai Thai and acting. At least Steven Segeal knows what he's doing in a fight scene.

Every bastardised sequel of Friday The 13th and Halloween. Travesties.

As I mentioned, it got to me because he was the spitting image of my old neighbour (who was also my landlord and a fantastic and incredibly interesting man). Not just in looks, but also in personality. Probably because I saw it only shortly after he died of a massive heart attack, I found it particularly pertinent. I especially liked the bits where he was writing to the boy he had sponsored and the letters got more and more bitter, turning into a diatribe about what he hated about his life.

Chronicles Of Riddick - Unimaginably bad.
Oh you're being a bit harsh there. As a mindless action movie, I think it's one of the best to come out of the States for a while. Every so often you have to let yourself be indulged and leave your misgivings at the door. I don't mind movies that don't attempt to be anything other than mindless action, as long as the action's good.
Also the last week I was at my old school, that's all I showed my classes, who loved it. Saved me from having to teach them, for which I'm forever grateful for.

Have any of you seen 'Bad Taste' by Peter Jackson?

In my opinion that was the worst movie ever despite winning several awards. It had no story line per say, the acting was unimaginably bad and the rest of it was filled up with people and aliens exploding and being dismembered in a series of rather unrealistically gory scenes all dubbed over with an abysmal soundtrack which I could top by randomly playing notes of my piano.
Careful now, you risk incurring the wrath not only of legions of LOTR fans worldwide but also a possible fatwa being declared on you by New Zealand for daring to diss Saint Peter.
There was a storyline - Aliens had come to Earth to stock up on human meat for their intergalactic fastfood chain.
Plus, you need to realise that this was PJ's first ever movie. It took him 7 years to make, as he could only make it at the weekends when he wasn't working and whenever he could afford to buy film. All the actors were friends or colleagues of Peters, which is why the acting isn't so hot.
I liked it myself. But then when I did see it for the first time I was a very pissed university student which helped in seeing the humour.
Much like Robert Rodrigeuz's 'El Mariachi', which does appear limited, but once you realise it cost $7000US (nearly all that for the cost of the film), you have to admire him for how well he did.

Blair Witch 2 - the most pointless excuse for a movie ever
:confused: Why was it made?
Why was it made? To cash in on BW1 obviously. What other reason do Film studios need?
I think you also need to add Blair Witch 1 in there. Most over-blown over-indulged piece of shite ever. I couldn't understand how every critic was falling over themselves to say how good it was - it was some sort of Emperor's new clothes thing going on I think. Critics are annoying like that. As soon as a few of them say this movie's great, it seems all try to jump onto the bandwagon and outdo each other with superlatives about how 'fantastic' it is. No-one wants to be the one to say 'Hang on. It's not that good. In fact it's pretty crappy, doncha think?'
3 (or was it 4? I can't remember) whiny brats wander into a forest after telling the local inbred hillbilly with obvious weird sexual tendancies where they going. Wander round for a while, get lost, get scared by Hillbilly and his inbred brethern. Get killed.
Wow.
Couldn't see that coming.
I spent most of the movie thinking 'Ok, I wouldn't do that. Right, that was dumb'. Maybe growing up surrounded by forest made me more aware of what NOT to do when going into the bush, but really most of it was just plain common sense.

Well being a New Zealander myself, I am probably about to be burned for heresy...

You only pick up the storyline if you read the blurb on the back of the box, or if you listen to the mutterings of the alien leader, which are basically inaudible. Really, it may be his first movie, and made on a shoe-string budget but it was still abysmal, only in New Zealand would you see that kind of trash in the 'highly recommended' section at the local video parlour, and that's just because the entire film industry wants to have Peter Jackson's baby. I saw the movie with I think it was five other people, and we all came to the same conclusion, it was undoubtedly the worst movie in the entire world, this feeling was possibly maginified by the glowing reviews of it we'd all heard before hand, (courtesy of our local video-parlour guy), who called it 'another Peter Jackson masterpiece'. People in New Zealand need to wake up a bit. The Lord of the Rings was good, so was Heavenly Creatures, but 'Bad Taste' was well.... as the name implies, and 'Meet the Feebles' was feeble at best.

The Thin Red Line - Worst. War Movie. Ever.

About Schmidt - I'll take the hot pokers, please.

The Messenger (Joan of Arc) - Well, at least it took a little off my time in purgatory.

The Matrix Series - Sorry, but I was *bored* with it all. Great idea, great effects, lousy story.

Judge Dredd - Dreadful.

Howard the Duck - Lea! What on EARTH were you thinking?!?

Anything with Bette Midler.

Gotta be kidding u never saw "Ruthless People" With Bette, Danny Devito Judge Renihold and Bill Pullman that has to be one of the funniest films from the 80's.

1) The scene were they drop her in the basment and Judge Rienhold sees if she is ok Bette kicks him in the balls.

2) The videotaped "Murder Scene" which was the police commmisoner having sex with a hooker.

3) Judege Rienhold tryin to escape from the police out of the bathroom window and the police walked right under him.

4) The scene where Bette describes what happens at the "San Quintan Country club" and the scene were she describes being excuted.

5)The scenes with the serial killer. " You look like my mother I hated my father" "You look like my mother I hated my mother. And after Bette Kill the SK. "Well if i look like your mother and you look likehis father this is what our child would look like. Strong Argument for birth control"

"Beaches" which always makes me cry and "First Wives Club" was also funny and the one she did with Lilly Tomlin were they were twins which was a knock-off of a Shakespeare play.

1. Once Upon a Time in Mexico
2. Street Fighter
3. Mutant Shark Movies in General
4. Carmen (Hip-Hopera)
5. Batman 4

Just to name a few.

But by the way: How the hell couldn't you have liked Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind? That was one of the best movies I've seen all year.

Still to me has to be Blood Feast (1963) absolute worse dummest schlock fil i have ever scene. It can't get worse that an Eqyptian cannibal who worship's a babaloyian goddess (Ishtar isn't Egyptian she's a Babylonian Goddess). Awful acting, awful "red paint" gore. awful soud track. This is the only flick that should be permantly erased.

My Updated list:

Worst movies:
Battlefield earth,
equilibrium
gods and generals (so long~)
the patriot
the passion of the christ
falling down




A special note on that unspeakable idiot magnet "equilibrium:"

If someone left ''1984,'' ''Fahrenheit 451,'' ''Brave New World,'' ''Gattaca'' and the Sylvester Stallone potboilers ''Judge Dredd'' and ''Demolition Man'' out in the sun and threw the runny glop onto a movie screen, it would still be a better picture than ''Equilibrium,'' a movie that could be stupider only if it were longer.

See Ruthless People I swear to god that has to one of the 2 funnis movies from/about the 1980's. The second one is 1980's Trading Places with Dan Akyrod and Eddie Murphy. Both are great satire of the decade.

Because none of them are true documentries as they claim to be. They are slanted, full of half truths, spliced together films. They bear more sembelance to fictional stories than documentries.
