Hello again, movie fans. Or should I say movie masochists? It's end of the year lists time and, in keeping with Boy Howdy tradition, the spotlight is focused not on the 10 best films of the past 12 months but on the Other end of the spectrum — the pictures that represented the nadir of 1980, the empty, inane, feeble, witless, impotent flicks that have helped bring the movie industry to a new low, almost down to the level of...yes, the music business.

Boy Howdy's Ten Worst Movies Of 1980

Hello again, movie fans. Or should I say movie masochists? It's end of the year lists time and, in keeping with Boy Howdy tradition, the spotlight is focused not on the 10 best films of the past 12 months but on the Other end of the spectrum — the pictures that represented the nadir of 1980, the empty, inane, feeble, witless, impotent flicks that have helped bring the movie industry to a new low, almost down to the level of...yes, the music business.
A year ago in these very pages, The Dauphin speculated as to whether any film year could be worse than 1979, but 1980 has beaten it, popcorn-butter smeared hands down. Stillwe should be grateful for small favors: the pastyear did not see the release of a single Sly Stallone movie and Ronald Reagan has officially announced his retirement from film acting. By the way, what's that old guy doing these days anyway? Just wondering.
