1. Everyone - Movie 43

This will go down in history for being one of the most bizarre comedy movies of all time.

Most people still don't know what this project even is still and the promotion didn't tell us anything. The tagline only read, "What is Movie 43," like you had to go see it to understand what the film was about.

But where did this idea come from? Well, because it surprisingly had a little big star power behind it. When creating the movie, the producers wanted to make the next Kentucky Fried Chicken, a collection of funny shorts that glorified bad taste. They managed to nab Hugh Jackman first because he wanted to do something new and risque. Afterwards, they managed to convince Kate Winslet to join as well.

This became the selling point of the film as they continued to get more talent. Actors like Terrance Howard, Naomi Watts, Chris Pratt, Halle Berry, Emma Stone and even more to name. So, what was the comedy like? What new and risque material did Hugh Jackman agree to.

Well, he's got testicles on his chin... that's it. Chris Pratt's girlfriend wants him to poop on her... that's it. A teenager gets her first period and two boys try to plug her up... that's it. Just complete bottom of the barrel jokes. Most of the actors have voiced their regret appearing in the film.

After seeing it, we can't blame them.
