“The bad teacher imposes his ideas and his methods on his pupils, and such originality as they may have is lost in the second-rate art of imitation.”

Turning a book (or book series) into a movie can be a dicey proposition. The Lord of the Rings for example, was slated to be reduced into a single movie at one point, and that example says nothing about the quality of the finished product. In honor of the release of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (which is actually a pretty good adaptation; review coming soon), we look at the worst instances. This doesn't necessarily mean the least faithful to their source material (sneak peek at this week's Rant), but just on the quality of the movie itself. One note: comic books are excluded, mainly because I'd be typing entries all day if we included terrible comic book movies.
Disclaimer: I know I have way too few readers at this point for the polls to be meaningful, but this is the schedule I want to stick to even after growing a readership base.
