Take the Money and Run (1969)
Much under-rated
Woody's mock documentary, about a nebbish career criminal, is slight - little more than a collection of one-liners - but is arguably his funniest film, and much preferable to his more solemn films, in which he discovered he was the reincarnation of Ingmar Bergman.
Titanic (1953)
A Complete Bore
The sinking of the famous luxury liner used as an excuse for tedious, insufferably boring soap-opera histrionics. I could hardly wait to see the whole bunch of them dumped into the drink.
Alfred Hitchcock Presents: A Man Greatly Beloved (1957)
Awful
Far and away the the worst episode of the series: a formless, plotless mess. The great Sir Cedric Hardwicke looks understandably embarrassed throughout much of the proceedings, and the seven-year-old girl who dominates much of the action is one of the most insufferable and repulsive child actors I've ever seen. A complete waste of time. It's amazing that Hitchcock even put his name to this.
The Trouble with Tracy (1970)
Unspeakable
Many viewers and critics have cited this show as the worst comedy series in Canadian television history.
They're almost right: it's the worst comedy series in the history of humankind.
Don't Let the Angels Fall (1969)
A mess.
The kind of film that gave Canadian cinema a bad name: slow, agonizingly pretentious and largely plotless. The only redeeming feature in this unfocused mess (scripted by novelist Timothy Findlay) is a fine performance by the wonderful Charmion King.
David Suchet on the Orient Express (2010)
Awful
The worst Christie adaption ever, bar none. One of her best novels has been butchered beyond recognition. Suchet is superb, as usual, but even he can't save this fiasco.
