There's been an active thread running for some time now polling members about their favorite astronomy related movies.  In celebration of Halloween I'd like to kick one off asking for opinions about some of the worst you've seen.  Especially those which take themselves waaaay too seriously.

I'll nominate the new version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. 

What are your least favorite?

Planet of the Apes, all of them.

Starship Troopers.  Heinlein must have rolled over in his grave.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Yes, it was a real movie.  Way worse than Mars Needs Women.

Well, Plan Nine from Outer Space has to rank up there with the very worst but as far as big budget sci-fi (or it is syfy now?  ) flicks are concerned Starship Troopers certainly was a travesty, especially compared to the Robert Heinlein book, one of the best military science fiction novels of all time, that it was "based" on.

For the serious (?) aficionado I believe it's still just sf.
