         "Because all of you of Earth are IDIOTS!"

So I was going to do a list of the "10 Best Worst Movies of All Time" today. But my Amazon.com order failed to come in yesterday and it carries a real contender for the best bad movie ever. So Part III of this bad movie series will be all about the dialog boys and girls. These best worst movies can't survive on corndog special effects and clumsy stunt work alone. If the lines aren't there stinking up the communication channels between character and audience then these really wouldn't be the best of the very worst would they?

Here's my favorite bad movie lines of all time:

10) Shriek of the Mutilated (1974) - "Come back you fool!" (screamed at a fleeing Yeti)

9) Carnosaur (1993) - "I've never seen such nervous chickens..."

8) The Howling (1981) - "Take it easy you know? Not all of us have got enough money for a Mazda..."

7) Showgirls (1995) - "Tony she's all pelvic thrust... I mean she prowls."

6) John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) - "Hey Wittlock - if we blow up the nuclear power station what would happen? I mean there would be a HUGE explosion right?"

5) Pep Squad (1998) - (holding a slightly burnt banana in her hand) "This was stuffed up my tailpipe. I was just in the hospital for inhaling gas. The kind of gas that kills...."

4) Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) - "I don't believe in UFO's... But if they do exist then... Then we're trapped in one right now!"

3) Starship Troopers (1997) - "Three weeks aboard a starship and you think you can lick my navs?"

2) Battlefield Earth (2000) - "I am going to make you as happy as a baby Psychlo on a straight diet of kerbango."

1) Humanoids from the Deep (1980) - "Because something sank the boat,  killed our dogs, now it's attacking humans - and it ain't HIM!" (pointing to an indian)
