The Worst Films From 50 Great Directors (Yardbarker)
"Aside from Charles Laughton, no filmmaker of note has a perfect record. And that's not only fine: That's the way it should be. Every artist needs the space to fail — miserably, spectacularly, hideously. It's how you grow, how you find your creative limits or, even better, how you learn to surpass them. It's also important for viewers to not only allow for misfires but to also embrace and study them. It's when our favorite directors fall short of their visions that we often see the seeds of their next triumphs or come to understand previous works that we didn't quite connect the first time around. And, well, sometimes they just go and make a stinker. In the interest of proving that our favorite directors are fallible, here's a list of 50 lesser works from 50 gods of cinema." - yardbarker.com
surprisingly, no "Hook" (Spielberg), "Fear and Desire" (Kubrick), or "The Bonfire of the Vanities" (DePalma) here, but movie opinions are subjective, right?
