\\\"About 43: As with any rating on that site, it almost certainly includes AstroTurfing.\\\" - IMDB (and Metacritic, for that matter) also have a lot of users who just give out low scores for fun. I\\\'ve notcied instances where the \\\"top 1000\\\" voters have ratings that are widely different from everyone else. You mostly only notice it on pages that don\\\'t have many ratings, but still. I think it\\\'s always best to lean towards non-inclusion than inclusion for more iffy cases. In my opinion, though, I think there\\\'s more than enough to suggest that Movie 43 qualifies, at least as much as a couple of other entries on this list. If the 4.5 score on IMDB was supported with more evidence that it has at least some kind of fanbase, that would be something else. The only thing I\\\'d ask is is it really irredeemably \\\"horrible\\\" or is it just an ordinary stinker?

Also, since Cinema Snob was mentioned, I remember him talking about how low IMDB scores don\\\'t always mean anything, because a lot of people are just bandwagon jumping, and that a lot of the movies on MST3K, for example, don\\\'t deserve to have scores as low as they are on IMDB.
