I’m not sure exactly what I did to inflict such a horrid punishment as watching a Dane Cook movie, but I’m quite sure whatever it is I did, I deserved my fate. But as I attempted to find a film truly terrible one stood out for a variety of reasons, though almost all of them had to do with the intriguing cast (Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin, Lizzy Caplan, Jason Biggs and Diora Baird) which offered at least a glimmer of hope that perhaps a scene or two would be amusing, or dare I hope, entertaining, even with the black hole that is Dane Cook.

But as it turns out, My Best Friend’s Girl truly is an absolute pile. It never attains to be anything but the most base of romantic comedies, constantly trotting out cliche after cliche with a straight face. But even worse, when it somehow stumbles onto a plotline that might actually skewer the genre, it abruptly changes course in order to remain on the same stilted and boring path that it had followed for the rest of the film. And at that point, all one can do is laugh at how truly inept this film is.

But their is some hope, and it resides fully in the bosom of one Alec Baldwin. Riding high on his comedic talents, Baldwin steals every scene he enters, never once falling prey to the urge to sleepwalk through the film as every other cast member does. Instead, he aims for a higher purpose, to make college coeds bluster with delight at such a charismatic braggadocio, marking this as one of the Greatest Moments in Cinema History.

While the first two selections in this most prestiges of columns focused solely on comedic moments, with this entry I have chosen something from the horror genre. Oh sure it lacks the absurd silliness and downright addicting goofiness of the others, but counteracts that by being one of the biggest “WTF?” moments you are likely to ever see.

Adapted from a comic book of the same name 30 Days of Night has a killer initial premise, that of a sleepy Alaskan town that is about to besieged by 30 consecutive days of night as well as a troupe of blood thirsty vampires, as well as making the smart decision of doing its best to siphon off the genius of artist Ben Templesmith by keeping fairly close to his frantic and visceral work when it comes to the films art direction, specifically in the rather unique look of the vampires.

But besides mimicking the look of these fiends, 30 Days of Night also takes another inspired step with the particular sounds it uses for the vampires, which can only be described as a cross between a shriek and a Velociraptor mating call. Unfortunately, the film wastes much of what it has going for it with bad pacing, poor acting and incredibly repetitive scenes. But just when you think the film can’t get any more boring, it turns and unloads an absurdly brilliant and disturbing death scene, marking this as one of the Greatest Moments in Cinema History.

Its tough to follow up the absurdly perverse genius of Meet the Feebles, so I decided not to. Instead I decide to pick a film that is truly ridiculous and revels in showcasing some of the dumbest jokes that you could possibly imagine. Yet while the jokes may be stupid, and believe me they are stupid, its the delivery that sells them time and again.

One of the most interesting things about this film, is that it currently holds a 0% approval rating over at Rotten Tomatoes, an impressive feat to be sure. Yet even stranger is the fact the film is actually ridiculously funny and has a truly epic cast (including Steve Zahn, Jonah Hill, Kevin Heffernan, Harry Hamlin, Justin Long, Jeff Garlin, Ernest Borgnine and Robert Patrick). The voice over narration during the nature scenes alone are absolutely priceless (ex – Experts estimate that monkeys make up 80% of the world’s monkey population.) and they beg the question, why the hell isn’t that kind of nature show on television?

But it is the final nature show that truly eclipses them all, and the one that is impossible not to find humorous, despite it being one of the laziest jokes ever. Yet Strange Wilderness continually shows that earnest repetition is the key to getting a laugh, which is why this is one of the Greatest Moments in Cinema History.
