Worst films of all time

Actually, the bigger problem there is that the list requires the films to have been named as the worst "by reputable critics in multiple reputable sources" - do you know of any other sources that judge either film in the same way? --McGeddon (talk) 15:11, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that Medved and Dreyfuss knew what they were talking about and other films on their 1977 list are included here (The Conqueror, Horror of Party Beach, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Myra Breckinridge and Robot Monster) so I have added the others for completeness.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Herky bird (talk • contribs) 16:17, 24 June 2014‎

I'm sure they do, it's just that editors have decided to define the article as being - according to its opening sentence - films "cited by reputable critics in multiple reputable sources as among the worst films ever made". If we're adding films which have possibly only been cited by critics in a single source, that definition would have to be changed. (Which can certainly be done, but would probably be a bad idea, as it'd mean that a single terrible review would be enough to get an otherwise acclaimed film onto the list, and we'd end up adding dozens of not-actually-that-bad films.) --McGeddon (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, you are probably right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herky bird (talk • contribs) 17:46, 24 June 2014‎

No problem. It's certainly worth having a check for other reviews of these two films, if they were the only ones on Medved and Dreyfuss's top ten that Wikipedia didn't include - thanks for digging them up, even if we can't use them yet. --McGeddon (talk) 20:56, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message - I understand your concerns. I have citations but don't know how to insert them. Can you explain or is there a tutorial?
