these films are probably a lot better in
your memory than on the screen welcome
to watchmojo.com go and that you loved
back then but now they just don't hold
up to today's standards warning there
will be spoilers ahead if you like what
you're hearing be sure to check out the

[Music]
number 10 dude where's my car when it
comes to stoner comedies they've been
done far better than dude where's my car
in the years since its release and the
years prior for that matter that's right
this dreadfully dumb story of a crazy
night out a lost car and a nerdy sci-fi
cult is maybe unsurprisingly not very
good dude where's my car looks and feels
like a bad TV film full of jokes that
either haven't aged well or were never
funny in the first place not even the
comedic charm of Sean William Scott and
Ashton Kutcher could save this mess of a
movie trust us you're better off
watching pineapple Express or Harold and
Kumar Go to White Castle dude was my car
where's his car dude number nine
Garden State written and directed by
Zach Braff this romantic comedy drama
was actually a surprise hit at Sundance
and went on to earn cult status with a
Grammy winning soundtrack it's hipster
appeal and a story inspired by Braff's
own life Garden State didn't make waves
at the box office but critics and
audiences were still all about it what
are you listening to listens
you know hmm gotta get this one so
change your life it's unfortunately upon
rewatch you're likely to become aware of
how it actually comes off not only does
the film seemed to take itself way too
seriously it also tries way too hard to
be quirky you're the alligator you can
tell by the
meanwhile Natalie Portman's character
has been retro actively labeled a Manic
Pixie dream girl a female stock
character that's empty and only in the
film to help out the usually male
protagonist number 8 Casper you say me
but what am i family goes you have to
trust me it's appropriate Universal
decided to drop Casper's Friendly Ghost
moniker for the title of this film
because it's probably a whole lot more
depressing than you remember he couldn't
stop always having so much fun golly
dark cold yep this live-action CGI
adaptation of a classic children's comic
strip decided to dive into Casper's
backstory showing all the kids watching
the Casper was once a child just like
them but then he died what's it like to
die
being born only backwards how many
parents definitely weren't ready to have
that conversation on their way out of
the theater competitor yet the film ends
with Kasper being given a human form
once again only to have it torn away
from him Tessa this kid been through
enough
number 7 Batman Forever everyone
remembers how strikingly awful Batman
and Robin is but what many don't recall
is that Batman Forever is almost as bad
[Music]
Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones play the
Riddler and two-face with obnoxious
excess while a bored looking val kilmer
steps in for the role of Batman
previously played by Michael Keaton
police chase this is between you and me
at me the film shares most of the
terrible flaws of Batman and Robin but
to a lesser degree meaning it isn't even
much fun to watch but hey on the bright
side the movie did give us an insane
music video for Seal's kiss from a rose
for some strange reason number 6
American Beauty American Beauty garnered
massive critical acclaim upon its debut
winning five Academy Awards in 2000
including Best Picture you want to see
the most beautiful thing I've ever
filmed
looking back two decades later the film
has not stood the test of time and
critics and audiences have mostly come
to agree that the drama was overrated
you got the wrong idea
at times unsettling and hard to watch
and at other times undeniably
pretentious American beauty is far
clumsier than it first got credit for
with even director Sam Mendes admitting
in later interviews that he understood
some of the backlash to the film in the
years following its release sometimes I
feel like I'm seeing it all at once
and it's too much my heart fills up like
a balloon that's about to burst and then
I remember to relax
and stop trying to hold on to it number
five flubber look we love Robin Williams
it's ridiculous I love you with all my
heart with every cell with every
molecules have been adamant I love here
on a subatomic level this 1997 Disney
remake was clearly meant to be a wacky
comedic vehicle for the actor who was at
the top of his Hollywood gain during
this stretch of his career unfortunately
that hot streak did not translate to
this scientific disaster of a film even
though we may not have noticed when we
were kids I know you didn't I was just
having a little fun I'm here to sell you
the plumber the plot of flubber is about
as thin as can be which would be okay if
the movie were funny which it isn't
flubber amounts to dangling a shiny set
of keys in front of the child
except switch out the keys for a
sentient wad of green slime number four
The Boondock Saints you might have fond
memories of The Boondock Saints but let
us ask you when is the last time you
actually sat down and watched it the
movie is so self-serious it soon becomes
hard not to laugh but all the actual
jokes in the film seem to fall flat you
guys can do this every goddamn day sort
of like 7-eleven we're not always doing
business the only redeeming quality of
the boondock saints is Willem Dafoe who
decided to push his performance to wild
levels of comedic self-awareness they
exited out the front door they had no
idea what they were in for the action
thriller often feels like it revels in
its excessive violence and gore but
doesn't actually have anything to say
beyond how cool it all is for a few
seconds this place was Armageddon
[Music]
we'd be content with leaving this foam
in the past number three Space Jam
getting excited for the LeBron James led
Space Jam sequel set for 2021 kind of
cameras huh well not so fast
looking back if you strip away all the
nostalgia behind Space Jam the sports
film feels more like cheap corporate
brand synergy rather than a genuine and
artist-driven live-action animated movie
with wooden acting from Michael Jordan
disappointing writing of the classic
characters and lazy animation compared
to the standards set by the original
Looney Tunes oh look out phonetically
step doc it's a real Lulu Bugs Bunny
despite being pleasing enough on the
surface to win over countless children
the film feels rushed and like a
fraction of what it could have been but
who knows maybe LeBron James will be
able to write the ship this time around
I'm gonna take this opportunity to read
entire from the game of basketball no
come on no no I'm gonna retire right now
and that's all there is to it I'm gonna
go out on top undefeated and untied
that's the way it's gonna be number two
avatar remember when everyone was
talking about the technical and
cinematic masterpiece that was James
Cameron's Avatar the movie shattered so
many box-office records it has to be
good right nope Parker you know I used
to think it was benign neglect but now I
see that you're intentionally screwing
me right you know I enjoy our little
talks featuring a story that's already
been told time and time again exhausting
visual effects that
overcrowd the screen rather than adding
to the film and a general lack of
anything to get excited about it's hard
to believe this is the same epic sci-fi
everyone was pining for at the end of
the 2000s relations with the indigenous
are only getting worse that tends to
happen when you use machine guns on them
right with two sequels having already
been filmed as of the end of the 2010s
it looks like we're in for more avatar
in the 2020s whether anyone's asking for
it or not when you
okay I'm not gonna lie to you guys
without having rewatched it in many
years I would like to say that I think
Batman Forever is a very important film
so maybe we're onto something here
anyway is number one an even bigger hot
take than everything we've already seen
on this list let's reminisce about some
honorable or dishonorable mentions and
then we'll find out where's your
Christmas spirit that's better
the muscular woman around here somewhere
good night

Mortal Kombat what have you done I made
a choice this is our tournament remember
Mortal Kombat we find it it might be
hard to believe this looking back but
when Mortal Kombat was released in
theaters in 1995 the video game
adaptation was relatively warmly
received by both critics and fans at
least for a video game adaptation we
have to admit we have no idea what those
people were thinking alright
let's dance mortal kombat is one of the
standard bearers of bad video game
movies with an almost non-existent plot
stringing together cheesy fighting
sequences with disappointing
choreography horrendous line delivery
and special effects that looks dated
even by 1995 standards it might be fun
for fans of the classic fighting game to
see these characters brought to life but
the Mortal Kombat franchise deserves
better than this face you worst fear I'm
not afraid of my destiny face me do you
agree with our picks let us know in the
comments and hey if you're a fan of the
song playing right now be sure to check
out the music video for it right here
no it's been a while since
