The Top Five Worst August Movies

5 - Anaconda: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid

4 - Smokey and the Bandit Part 3

3 - Master of Disguise

2 - Gigli

1 - Howard the Duck

This is one of those lists that needs no further explanation. It's definitely subjective to say Master of Disguise is worse that Gigli, but objectively, we can say that every movie on the list does not meet or exceed the minimum definition of mediocrity. You should be made aware, though, that Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 is the one where Jerry Reed played Bandit. Bad move, bad movie.

And when we presented you with this challenge last week, I said we'd have no problem making a Top 20 list. So we have. But to show you how lousy August really is, here's a list of nominees that didn't even make that list: The Dukes of Hazard, Underdog, Snakes on a Plane, Balls of Fury, Invasion, Bubble Boy, Free Willy 3, Air America, Osmosis Jones, Step Up, The Replacements, Airheads, A Very Brady Sequel, Idlewild, Wagon's East, Leave it to Beaver, Exorcist: The Beginning, The Invasion, The Medallion, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, Dudley Do-Right, Xanadu, and Zoom.

Brace yourself; this one's gonna hurt:

20 - Steel

19 - Masters of the Universe

18 - Air Bud

17 - Air Bud: Golden Receiver

16 - Return to the Blue Lagoon

15 - The Adventures of Pluto Nash

14 - Three Ninjas

13 - Disorderlies

12 - The Avengers

11 - Bratz

10 - Serving Sara

 9 - The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu

 8 - The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

 6 - SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2

 5 - Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid

 4 - Smokey and the Bandit Part 3

 3 - Master of Disguise

 2 - Gigli

 1 - Howard the Duck

Wow. That's a bunch of bad movies.
