There’s one problem, though. Sure, he’s responsible for juggernauts like Jurassic Park, ER, The Andromeda Strain, and even bizarro cult classics like Westworld–but if you didn’t already know, not everything can be as much a cinematic blessing as a Telly Savalas robot. So as you load up your Netflix queue for a coming MC battle royale, you might want to leave these 5 titles (in no particular order) out of the running…


#5: RISING SUN
Good book, lousy movie. Though it’s nice to be able to pinpoint the genesis of Wesley Snipes’ yellow fever.

#4: TWISTER
Man, Bill Paxton really needs to learn how to drive.

#3: SPHERE
Officially the first shitty movie Samuel L. Jackson made. And considering the cavalcade of crap that came after, he really started it off with a bang.

#2: CONGO
If they really wanted this to be hardbody, they would’ve done it as a documentary. Fuck outta here with that talking gorilla.

#1: RUNAWAY
Tom Selleck. Gene Simmons. Dozens of tiny mechanical spiders that swarm and kill human beings. You know what? Forget what we said, you need to rent this shit TODAY.
