I almost included Problem Child on the list, because it did have a big impact on me - it was the very first movie I ever saw in the theater and thought “Holy Shit, that sucked”. OK, so I was probably 8 or 9 when I saw it so maybe I thought “Wow, that movie sucked”. But it did suck, and it was the first movie I ever saw that I knew sucked when it was over. Unfortunately, not the last (e.g., Kung Pow! The Way of the First)
