8 Movies Helmed By The Most Inappropriate Directors Imaginable

3. W.E. (2011) - Madonna's Awkward Biopic About The King of England & His Lover

W E I don't want to be the guy who writes a list that talks about Madonna on two occassions, but what are you gonna do? Everyone knows, of course, that former "Like A Virgin" star Madonna wants to be British, in as much as she's adopted a strange, faux-English accent in recent years, and she married Guy Ritchie. W.E. was as a movie that came about when Madonna was presumably bored and - in her own words - wanted to "reestablish artistic credibility." She could have done that with a new album or something, but instead we got this. The reason why Madonna is being branded "the most inappropriate director imaginable" here isn't based on the material that she tackled, but on her qualifications as a movie director. No matter what movie she would have made, I would have included her on this list purely because she's an absolutely horrible director. She has no idea how to pace, frame, or shoot a movie, nor does she seem capable of conducting a film set. W.E. wants to tell the love story between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, but is so laughably terrible it breaks new ground. Burn all copies.
