The worst movies ever

I watched what has to be the absolute worst movie ever made just the other day.

Xanadu with Olivia Newton John was made in the early 1980's with music from a band called Electric Light Orchestra.

It's bascially about a ghost, or a spirit, who comes to haunt a miserable twenty something painter who enlarges album covers.

The painter meets an old clarinet player who wants to start a club.

The roller skating ghost of Olivia Newton John tries to convince the painter to work with the clarinet player to re-open the Xanadu, an old decrepit club, complete with a roller skating floor.

Meanwhile, stitched in about every five minutes are horrid musical numbers with rock bands in electric orange, and dancers in fur leotards.

I had to shut the movie off about halfway though, because I thought I had died and gone to hell.

Luckily I realized that it was just the absolute worst movie of all time, and that I was not in hell, but just the closest earthly equivalent.
