2010 book by writer/ reviewer/ editor Steve Miller, covering what he considered to be the very worst movies of all time.

Note that some movies in the book, including Suspiria, The Black Cat and Braindead (Dead Alive) are considered by many to be good films rather than bad.

The title of the book reads "150 Movies" but there's actually 153 in there, including 2 versions of Attack of the Giant Leeches.

The book is split into sections, rather than ordered:
1-5 "Exhibits in the Bad Movie Museum"
6-13 "Big Budget Bombs"
14-19 "Creaky Classics"
20-23 "Freaky Families"
24-35 "Gory, Gorier, Goriest"
36-40 "Happy Holidays!"
41-48 "Inauspicious Beginnings"
49-56 "It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time"
57-62 "Kinda-Sorta Based on the Book"
63-87 "Monstrous Monster Movies"
88-98 "Mysteries of the Orient"
99-113 "Independent Oddities"
114-117 "Strange Superheroes"
118-122 "Awful Aliens"
123-153 "Test Your Stanima"
