A 3rd ed. very good paperback, minor signs of aging on cov. & spine as in image, text very good+. The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (And How They Got That Way) is a 1978 book by Harry Medved, with Randy Dreyfuss and Michael Medved. It presents the authors' choices for the 50 worst sound films ever made. Each film's entry includes a story synopsis, the authors' opinions of its quality, and a selection of contemporary reviews of the film. The book intentionally excludes silent films because the authors consider them to be "a separate and unique art form and that judging them alongside talkies would be like weighing apples together with oranges". In compiling their list, the authors used egregious examples to represent less reputable film genres, such as blaxploitation films (Trouble Man), Japanese monster movies (Godzilla vs. Hedorah) and anime (Alakazam the Great), 1970s disaster movies (Airport 1975), low budget science fiction (Robot Monster, Eegah), sexploitation films (Myra Breckinridge) and Elvis Presley vehicles (Spinout). Also listed are several mainstream features, including: At Long Last Love, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Hurry Sundown, King Richard and the Crusaders, Lost Horizon, The Omen, Say One for Me, Solomon and Sheba and the arthouse films Last Year at Marienbad, Zabriskie Point and Ivan the Terrible (1944 film). The book limits the foreign films considered to only those distributed in the United States, judging it unfair to evaluate local obscurities denied an international release alongside mainstream Hollywood products, while realizing that it would not only be difficult for the authors to view the films, but unlikely that any readers would ever come across them.
