What are the worst films of the past ten years that are best forgotten?
Here are Rupert’s suggestions…

Catwoman (2004)
Poor old Halle Berry.
In 2004 her career was on a sky-high trajectory.
Without doubt, the worst comic book adaptation of the decade, and arguably of all time.
While her superstar status remains, her industry credibility and box office bankability has nosedived.

Never has a films title been so apt.
You cant escape the all-seeing eye of Den Of Geek, though, soFatSlagsis being thoroughly named and shamed.
A statement he then retracted as a misquote.
I bet you give up after five minutes.
The only question was which one and how high it would chart.
In fact, every single one of his star vehicles in the Noughties has been an absolute stinker.
Lets look at the evidence:Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps,Dr.
All I can say is that Murphys damn lucky hed already got theShrekgig…

Thats whyOceans Twelveisnt on here, for example (some people think its a good romp, apparently).
But there was one movie I just couldnt leave out,White Chicks.
Oh how I loathe this film.
Loathe probably isnt a strong enough word to convey my utter contempt.
Did people wake up and have a brain tumour for breakfast or something?
Sometimes you actually start to lose faith in humanity.
You deserve whats coming to you.
The award for Biggest Public Train Wreck of the Decade would be a close run thing.
Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Jordan all of them strong contenders for the hotly-contested title.
Lohan tied with herself for Worst Actress and bagged a duel award for Worst On-Screen Couple.
Truly terrible film, though.
The ridiculously portmanteau-d supercouple Bennifer were everywhere.
It was all Bennifer this, Bennifer that.
I live in England and it was tedious enough.
In America it must have been insufferable.
This film was so derided it got pulled from screens after only three weeks on release.
Doing a gigli entered into the common lexicon.
And two of the planets most nauseating uber-stars careers dropped stone cold dead overnight.
Lopez never recovered, while Affleck has tried his best to claw back some credibility.
Hell never get another big name gig, though.
Even the entirely blameless indie director Kevin Smith nearly got swallowed up in theGiglifallout.
Such is the films infamy, coupled with that three-week release, that very few people have actually seenGigli.
It was just instantly labelled one of the worst films ever and given a through kicking from all angles.
They had become insufferably overexposed, andGigliwas their Ozymandias moment.
And with the inclusion of Lopezs immortal Its turkey time.
Gobble, gobble line into the final edit, maybe the production team were in on it too.
I mean, how stupid can you get?
Into the top three then, and a quick entry, stage right for Uwe Boll.
Oh my days, has there ever been a bigger hack than Uwe Boll?
The man is a walking disaster zone.
Its like the games avatars were highjacked from a Playstation and pressganged into performing.
At least his actors arent the only patsies then.
Swept Away (2002)
Madonna + Guy Ritchie + camera = one of the worst films ever.
Sums it up pretty well.
Even Bennifer gave us the emotional payoff of seeing their relationship implode in public during the aftermath ofGigli.
Surely, with Madges connections he would get some big time Hollywood gigs?
The unabashed vanity of this project is inconceivable.
Ritchie had no experience with either comedy or drama.
Madonna, on the other hand, is just a terrible actress.
Even Guy himself must have thought what am I doing?
Ruining your career, thats what.
Madonna, of course, took it in her stride.
Shed been slated before, loads of times.
But she was still pop royalty.
Ritchie was the one who carried the can.
And the stinkers list is much more emphatic and competitive than the Best Of.
This leads me to believe that perhaps the Noughties were the worst decadeof all timefor cinema in general.
Just look at the evidence above.
Yeah, it aint looking too good, hey?
And it really is a cast iron tank,Battlefield Earth.
This movie can only be described as an absolute mare in every respect.
The greatest vanity project in the history of cinema by a mile.
Turn that character into a giant alien and youve got a disaster.
Well there were the Scientology smears.
Hubbard founded the creepy cult and Travolta is one of its highest profile followers.
