jackassfan, as always I find your lists of films fascinating as we both have a very wide range of films we have seen. Some of the films on your list above I would tend to agree with, some not, and some I have never seem. I saw Moulin Rouge on TV and it is the only film I have ever seen which was so in your face that it gave me a splitting headache - I suspect that if I has seen it at the cinema I would have had to leave or receive medical treatment (and I'm not joking).

When I saw Van Helsing, I thought at first that this woas going to be brilliant with its homage to James Whale's Frankenstein, but then it became very ordinary and left me thinking that this could have been so much better. Not as bad as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Sean Connery) whci I saw around the same time. Both films using the Hyde character from Jekyll & Hyde as a sort of Incredible Hulk character, but in the former film as a villain, and in the latter film as a hero.

I can understand why in the list of films you disliked but not the worse, there are some films which people love and others don't. For instance I thought that 2001 is an extraordinary film, one which only works well if seen at the cinema, but I can admire it, but there's nothing about it which I can like as it felt so emotionally detached. I saw all three Lord of the Rings films on TV, but I'm not a great fan of the books or films as I prefer more compact stories. From a technical point of view I can admire them, but I can't say I liked them. Though I preferred them to Star Wars (there - that guarantees cries of outrage from millions of people out there - I'll have to go into hiding now ).

I have never seen Freaks (Tod Browning), but from what I know about it, I doubt if anybody could like that film even if they respected it.

I suspect that one of the most famous films ever made - Citizen Kane - no matter how much one can appreciate it from a technical viewpoint, very few people could say that they liked it

I too agree that Mama Mia is one of the worst films,Since when did Meryl Streep who I can not stand, think she could get away with playing a 40 ish woman.
I cannot stand Will Ferrel in anything so don't watch his films. 
El Lorro.I nearly needed medical treatment when I saw Avatar. We all got motion sickness, it was awful.
Any of those Porkies/American pie/ Police academy/Jackass films.

Superman Returns is just awful in so many ways. 

1) A 'superkid'

2) Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane is supposed to be around 22-24 but is also supposed to have won the Pullitzer Prize for journalism and had a kid by Superman some six years previously, when she would therefore been between 16-18!  Not many 16 year olds who can say they've won a Pulitzer Prize for journalism!  So potentially Superman is the sort of guy who gets a 16 year old girl knocked up and then just disappears for six years!

3) Superman's only fatal weakness is supposed to be Kryptonite, yet he can lift a small island made of the stuff and launch it into space - albeit with some difficulty - but he can still do it!

4) After throwing said island into space (Superman does a lot of that) superman is ill and needs surgery.  If he's a man of steel who can stop bullets with his eyeballs, how the hell would ordinary surgeons with ordinary operating tools be able to operate on him? 

5) It's just boring, 150+ minutes with dull characters and kitchen sink melodrama.  Superman shouldn't have a kid, and all he does is lift lots of things.

Now you might say I'm being a little bit geeky and precious about what is just a bit of comic book escapism aimed at kids and adolescents.  Get a grip Carnelian, you might think!

Not so, that's not me at all. I've never really liked Superman and thought him to be a bit of a boring one dimensional superhero because he has no weaknesses - except 'Kryptonite'.  I don't expect Superman to be hard science and I'm more than prepared for some plot holes.

I like a bit of CGI dumb action adventure as much as the next man.  Just not when they mix so many fatal errors: over-long, implausible and worst of all, boring.

I liked Citizen Kane and I'm a contrary bugger usually, so more than prepared to rubbish it if it was worthy of such treatment.

I had a look at a thread on IMDB on Citiizen Kane asking whether people liked this film, and based on the responses it appears that you are in the majority and that my comment about few people (i have corrected my typo) liking it is wrong. By the way I was not rubbishing the film, just responding to jackassfan's list of films he disliked rather than because they were bad.
