“45 Years of Razzie Winners: The Absolute Worst Movies Ever Made”
The 1980s gave birth to the Golden Raspberry Awards and set the tone for everything that followed – from disco musicals and Hollywood melodramas to notorious bombs and star vehicles that missed the mark in spectacular fashion.
It is a 1980 American musical comedy film directed by Nancy Walker in her only feature film as a director.
The film is a pseudo‑biography of 1970s disco group the Village People, loosely based on how the group formed.
Released after the peak of disco, it received largely negative reviews from critics and became a box‑office bomb.
Alongside Xanadu, Can’t Stop the Music is famous for inspiring the creation of the Golden Raspberry Awards, and at the 1st Razzies it won the inaugural awards for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay.
It is a 1981 American biographical psychological drama film directed by Frank Perry and starring Faye Dunaway.
Adapted from Christina Crawford’s 1978 autobiography, it follows Christina and her brother Christopher’s upbringing under their adoptive mother, actress Joan Crawford, depicting Joan as abusive, controlling and obsessed with her career.
The film grossed $25 million internationally against a $10 million budget, but Crawford’s family condemned it for portraying Joan as more abusive than the book and disputed some of Christina’s claims.
Critics were mixed: Dunaway’s performance drew both praise and ridicule, while the screenplay and editing were heavily criticised.
Over time, the film’s heightened tone, infamous dialogue and Dunaway’s performance have attracted a strong cult following.
At the 2nd Golden Raspberry Awards, it received nine nominations and won five, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress for Faye Dunaway.
It is a 1981 war film about the Battle of Inchon, widely regarded as the turning point of the Korean War, directed by Terence Young.
The film stars Laurence Olivier as General Douglas MacArthur, who led the U.S.‑led UN forces in the amphibious landing at Incheon, South Korea, in 1950.
Mixing large‑scale military sequences with personal drama, it concludes with the American victory that helped secure South Korea.
Produced on a reported $46 million budget and filmed in South Korea, California, Italy, Ireland and Japan, it premiered in 1981 and saw a limited U.S./Canadian release in 1982 before being quickly withdrawn after critical and financial failure.

The story centres on heiress Ayre “Mac” MacGillvary, whose sexual awakening sends her travelling the world in search of the perfect first lover to take her virginity.
