This should definitely be in the bottom 100, 25 February 2007

Author: Thomas Coaker (thetwonewguru) from United States

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. Point. Blank. And no. I'm no atheist. I believe in God. But this is a horrific movie. And quite honestly one of the most dangerous movies I have ever seen. Seriously, this film should be banned. I'd rather my kid watch Pulp Fitcion over this. And by the way Pulp fiction is an extremely religious movie about redemption. Yes I know it has violence and language but that's the best way for a redemption story to be. That God can make miracles. The characters in Pulp Fiction are bad. But it's better to show truly evil people can be redeemed. The reason this movie is dangerous is this: Say an 8 year old child has a sister who has terminal cancer. And he prays as Coach Taylor prays in this film. And yes he truly believes. But God doesn't save the cancer-ridden child. What do you tell your child about this? That's why I think this movie is more dangerous than the aforementioned Pulp Fiction.
