Best: Citizen Kane Worst: The Last Movie

Citizen Kane is my top film. I have seen it many times and totally love it.

The Last Movie was made in 1970 by Dennis Hopper. Hot on the heels of his success with Easy Rider (a classic) he made this piece of incomprehensible dreck. Was he making a modern western? Did he think he was making the American 8 1/2? Whatever. He should have gone fishing instead of making this piece of crap. It is not the dull sludge you would get from an Ed Wood or some idiotic teen epic. It is in a league of its own - drug-addled, undisciplined, and totally stupid. It's my vote for worst not because it is totally awful - it isn't - but because it could have been a good movie if the director and star (Dennis Hopper) had less ego, more discipline, and a stint at a rehab clinic. Or the producers could have just said "NO." Somehow it ends up being much less than the lowest grade potboiler. Why? Because Hopper is so talented. He could have made a fine film - he made Easy Rider - but he came up with this! You can ignore the grade-z flicks. The ones that should have been good but weren't are the disappointments and The Last Movie redefined disappointment.
