10 Movies So Bad Their Directors Disowned Them

1. An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (Arthur Hiller)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cn9ePSf2xI Get ready to have your freaking mind blown. Burn Hollywood Burn was Arthur Hiller's attempt to satirise the film industry, revolving around a director named Alan Smithee who has his film unceremoniously taken away from him by the studio. Smithee requests to have his name removed from the film, but is told that, you guessed it, the only name he can use is Alan Smithee. Oh, and it gets weirder. Director Hiller hated the end result so much, that in a mind-blowing move, he himself sought the Alan Smithee credit, and rightly so, because the film was critically panned and flopped financially. Hiller's bizarre postmodern experiment made Hollywood so fed up of repeating the name that it was retired as a result. A movie about Alan Smithee directed by Alan Smithee; you couldn't make this up. Which films do you hate that directors have disowned? Let us know in the comments below.
