We decided to name these movies….YELMEBM. YELMEBM Movies? What the heck are YELMEBM movies? That is our acronym for our latest Ultimate Movie Ranking (UMR) Page. It stands for Yes, Even Legends Make Extremely Bad Movies. The following table takes the worst ranked UMR movie of 75 Movie Legends and puts them in one massive table…..basically The Worst From The Best!
YELMEBM Movies Ranked By Combination of Box Office, Reviews and Awards (UMR Score) *Classic UMR Table (the one with all the stats is the second table)
YELMEBM Movies Can Be Ranked 6 Ways In This Table
The really cool thing about this table is that it is “user-sortable”. Rank the movies anyway you want.
- Sort YELMEBM movies by movie title and movie trailers.
- Sort YELMEBM movies by co-stars of his movies.
- Sort YELMEBM movies by adjusted domestic box office grosses using current movie ticket cost
- Sort YELMEBM movies by yearly domestic box office rank
- Sort YELMEBM movies how they were received by critics and audiences. 60% rating or higher should indicate a good movie.
- Sort by how many Oscar® nominations each YELMEBM movie received and how many Oscar® wins each YELMEBM movie won.
- Sort YELMEBM movies by Ultimate Movie Rankings (UMR) Score. UMR Score puts box office, reviews and awards into a mathematical equation and gives each movie a score.
I’m lucky, I’ve only seen 12 of the 75 stinkers on the chart.
My favorite of the 12 I’ve seen is Brannigan, which I don’t think is bad at all and actually quite enjoyable. Saw it at the cinema on a double bill with Burnt Offerings in June 1977. I have it on DVD.
The Conqueror should represent John Wayne on that chart not poor old Brannigan.
Interesting. Vote Up!
Hey Steve…tally count winners, or in this case is losers? Me 15, you 12, and Flora 9. Well.. Brannigan is actually pretty high on the list. As bad as The Conqueror is…..it actually was a financial success. Brannigan and Burnt Offerings on a double bill…..now that is interesting combo of movies. Thanks for checking out this different type of UMR page…your efforts are greatly appreciated.
So the legend that made the worst movie was Anthony Quinn? I have not seen Ghosts Can’t Do It, but I have seen the ones above it. Trog, Inchon and The Hand were pretty bad. That makes me curious to check out Quinn’s Ghosts. Nicely done.
Hey R. Hinders. Yep…Mr. Anthony Quinn’s Ghosts Can’t Do It is inded the lowest rated movies on this page. I have not seen Inchon or Trog….but their badness is legendary. I have seen The Hand a couple of times…and it is clearly not the movies Michael Caine and Oliver Stone want to be remembered by….good feedback.
thanks for adding all the trailers, some of the ones look horrible and yet some look interesting
Hey Taylor….you are welcome….it was fun adding in all of these bad movie trailers. Thanks for the nice words.
Fun read. Does this mean a Best from the Best is coming? Cuban Rebel Girls? Never heard of that one before. Nice change of pace. This is still Steve.
Hey Steve…..that might be a good idea….we will see how this one goes….I like seeing all of these movies together….glad you like this change of pace. Gotta admit…..some of the new subjects we do…are somewhat hard to get real excited about. Good feedback.
I have seen 9 movies. In order they are:
These Wilder Years
The Return of Dr. X
Born to Be Bad
First Deadly Sin
The Big Sleep
Terror on a Train – I enjoyed this one a lot
Brannigan
The Story of Mankind
Pink Cadillac
Hey Flora….I have seen 15 of these movies. Of your 9….I have seen Born To Be Bad (not too bad…especially for an early Cary Grant movie), First Deadly Sin (barely remember this one), The Big Sleep (seeing Stewart in this one is sad), Brannigan (Wayne as a modern cop is pretty brutal to watch….McQ is the better of those two “Dirty Harry” cop movies he made) and Pink Cadillac…a complete misfire by Clint….saw in theaters…I realized it was a clunker about a quarter of the way in…and yet it still managed to keep getting worse!
