Bad movies are pretty much synonymous with Hollywood; they're practically a dime a dozen in Tinseltown. But, every so often, a film comes around that is so infuriatingly rotten that it deserves to enter the pantheon of schlock cinema and become recognized as a wretched triumph in cinematic garbage. After wading through a countless number of worthy contenders at the local video store, I have managed to compile a list of the "10 Worst Movies Of The Last Decade" in the hopes that each of these films be avoided by all.

While Hollywood may be known for pumping out bad flicks, it's the good ones that we remember. Even I, despite my engendered cynicism as a movie critic, have come across a few cinematic masterpieces that have made me forget all about those thousands of dollars I've wasted over the years on the stinkers. Good movies are really special simply because, in Hollywood, they're really rare. So, as a companion piece to the "10 Worst Movies Of The Last Decade," here are the "10 Best Movies Of All Time,"? in the hopes that eager readers waste their money renting some of the films that are to follow instead of some of the films listed above.
