I think he means ever. CO has bought some awful films over the years.

I think it's limited to schlock seen on a CO flight. I don't know why CO doesn't just team up with a B-Movie house in L.A. to provide an endless stream of "classics" solely crafted for the discerning media palette of CO's captive audience. I can see the private screenings selection now:

"It Came From Winnipeg!"
"Plan Zeta, The Zucchinis Advance!"
"Zombo of Alpharon!"

Any title with a "!" should do...

Worst movie you've ever watched on a Continental tube.

I often get the feeling when watching the movie selections on CO (which I do rarely, and only after copious consumption of Bombay Sapphire), that I'm trapped aboard the spacestation in Mystery Science Theater 3000. CO is missing a valuable co-branding opportunity by not installing animatronic Crow and Tom Servo bots in the bulkheads :p

That's a tough one, indeed, as I usually will turn on the CSI channel rather than watch a bad movie. I will have to think about it and report back.

Ok - I cannot remember if it was in BusinessFirst or on a domestic flight, but "Stranger than Fiction" was horrible. I also thought "Anchor Man" was bad.

Anchor Man is the perfect type of movie to see on a plane. Ditto for DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story and pretty much any other movie of that genre. And by "that genre" I mean any movie that is probably better after consuming a few drinks in the PC, one prior to take off and several more during the flight :D:D

IMO, Dodgeball (which I also saw on CO) was better than Anchor Man.

For me, the Stinking Under[animal] movie prize goes to Stripes, or Racing Stripes, or whatever that zebra-becomes-racehorse thing was called.

Racing Stripes is a terrible movie. Stripes is a phenomenal Bill Murray/John Candy/Harold Ramis film from 1981.

Please try not to confuse them again :p

I would not use the S-word with anything Ramis ever did, and that goes back to Second City. And Racing Stripes was not animated.
