"What is the worst you've ever seen? I go with--if amateur production counts (he did sell them on Amazon)--the films of George Roland Wills. they are Avenel: The Motion Picture and The Great Sacrifice of President Jefferson Davis. They are so pathetically bad they are probably the worst movies I have ever seen…"

"Gods and Generals" is the worst I've seen. Some scenes are laughable. |

Stonewall Jackson gets a half hour praying with his wife.
But Chamberlain only gets 15 minutes! Unfair!
Poor Shirley Temple slowly dies. Everyone cries.
Jackson to his "servant": "Ummm… Y'all don't mind being a slave now, do you?"
"Oh, no Massa! I likes it fine!" Three guesses which movie. 😄 Like good wargamers, my buddies and I caught the afternoon matinee. Upon emerging into the sun, we looked at each other and started laughing. |

Both seem pretty awful – as does Gods and Generals The Civil War scenes in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly are also pretty bad although I do like the rest of the movie |

Actually never watch God's and Generals because of bad reviews here |

"Field of Lost Shoes" was a stinker. |
