2. Caligula
If you haven't watched this ultra example of over-the-edge filmmaking yet then let me save you two and half hours of your life. Caligula is that film from a time period where directors could get away with anything that features a story of ancient Rome debauchery with real debauchery happening on the screen. All of the sex, except for the scenes happening between the principal actors, is real. While this was done to make the film controversial and artistic it did quite the opposite, resulting in an epic failure that might as well be labeled as porn. It just happens to be that movie that tried really hard to be controversial art and failed miserably. Of course. making a film about such an evil figure from history was a great idea. The story of Caligula should be retold on the big screen, just this time reign in a few of the unnecessary parts (if you've seen the film then you know exactly what I mean). Easily the best part of the movie was watching the great Helen Mirren and Peter O'Toole, who I'm sure fired their representation right afterwards, and the diabolical Malcolm Mcdowell act like a lunatic. "I, Caligula Ceasar, command in the name of the senate and the people of Rome. ROME! ROME! ROME!" Don't watch this movie, seriously it's not worth it. If you're in a Malcolm Mcdowell mood and haven't seen If..., watch it instead.
