Benjamin Cox's Hall Of Shame
What's this then?
Much like my prestigious Hall Of Fame, this page contains a link to every one-star review I've ever written. Gathered here are links to every box office bomb, clunker, turkey and stinker it's ever been my misfortune to have watched so if you see a film here, it's virtually guaranteed that you'll hate it. There may be here for a number of reasons - a lousy script, laughable acting, inept direction or a combination of these and others - but all of them thoroughly deserve to be left here and the key thrown away.
Incidentally, this list contains links to both HubPages and ReelRundown articles but the lay-out, style and content remains of the same standard throughout. Please check back here often as new movies will be added to this list as I continue to write. Thanks for your continued support and don't say I didn't warn you!

Soap Box
Pat Mills from East Chicago, Indiana on February 05, 2017:
I don't do that as much as I used to do, but I did make an exception for Tommy Wiseau. These bad movies helped to give me a greater appreciation of the truly great releases that have come to the screen. I knew these films were bad before I ever had a full look, and they show how a director's vision can sometimes become terribly misguided in a fascinating way all their own.
Benjamin Cox (author) from Norfolk, UK on February 05, 2017:
I have a special spot in the HOS reserved for "The Room" but believe it or not, I rarely try to seek out bad movies. Perhaps the disappointment factor in finding a total dud when you expected more is part of the reason of my vitriol.
Pat Mills from East Chicago, Indiana on February 03, 2017:
I agree with you on the ones I have seen - and cannot unsee. I hope you'll one day be able to include such older and dubious gems like Gymkata, Moment By Moment, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, and anything from Ed Wood.
