I think Deal of the Century should be taken off the list.  I have seen
the movie a few times, and it has its moments; I don't think it's a bad
movie, and definitely not a totally bad one.  I thought the acting was
reasonably good; this movie is not Chevy Chase's  best movie, but I
thought he was quite good in it.

I think Hercules and Sheena are very boring and very poorly done movies.
Depending on what you really mean by totally bad movies, these two probably are
good candidates for the list.  Hercules was so bad I couldn't sit through
it.  That metal creature Hercules has to fight with is just out of this
world stupid and obvious fake.  Sheena's zebra is similar.  By the way,
where she got those nice bikini I'll never know.

I haven't seen Zelig but I just can't see a Woody Allen movie being
totally bad; maybe a letdown, but totally bad?
