Since I haven't seen all the movies of all time, and don't even remember that many of the ones I have seen, it's hard to put that kind of curse on any one film. But I will mention one that was a memorable, colossal, kind of heartbreaking flop for my family: 2001: A Space Odyssey. My dad was super-excited about it, he was maybe a fan of Arthur C. Clarke, and we traveled from our suburban outpost into Los Angeles to see it—at the Cinerama Dome, I think, maybe a special showing or preview? I just remember it as being unusual for my dad to make such a big deal over a movie and be so psyched for it. I was about 9 then and probably wouldn't have understood it if it had been understandable, but he just hated it and was befuddled by it and was so, so let down, and I've never forgiven it for that. So 2001: A Space Odyssey, I'm gonna say you're the worst.

Can I nominate everything Neil Breen has made? If I had to pick one, I’ll go with Fateful Findings just because of this spectacular ending. https://youtu.be/dKohD_RLnFw?si=z5HYnb0vJJbVmTSX
