I haven't voted in the other Lampoon polls, but I hated Oh, God! so much that I'm going to make an exception here just to vote for it. From those films that I have seen, it's also my choice for the worst ever Oscar-nominated screenplay.

Was there no room on this list for Bobby Deerfield? A truly laughable film.

And screw them, I fucking love The Turning Point!

There was some bad movies in 1977 but none of them appear on this list.

The Harvard elites may not like Looking for Mr. Goodbar, The Turning Point, Coming Home or The Goodbye Girl but I do. They must really have had something against screenwriter Nancy Dowd. They couldn't wait until 1978 to knock Coming Home just as they couldn't wait another year to knock her actual1977 film, Slap Shot. which they also listed among their worst a year early.

I've never seen It's Alive or A Nightful of Rain so I can't vote for them.

I haven't seen Semi-Tough in so long I can't remember anything about it, but I recall having liked it when I saw it.

New York, New York is a lousy movie, but it does have Liza's knockout performance of the title song which redeems it somewhat.

That leaves Oh, God! which is mildly amusing but not really bad and The Gauntlet which I recall as a really bad Clint Eastwood movie.

My vote goes to The Gauntlet.
