Inspired by a link that John sent us about the biggest flops of the last five years, we decided to take a look at films that have flopped in our own way. First we look at the biggest money losers, then make our lists of Flops that deserved what they got, Flops that deserved better, and Successful films we wish had flopped. Somehow Mark misunderstood what we were doing and didn’t contribute any lists – it’s the mind-fart we are still smelling! ¦¬)

Next week we will begin our look at the films of 2003, beginning with our Good and Bad lists.

If you have any comments on flops, make them here, or shoot us an email at podcast@goodbaduglyfilms.com
