If you thought Love is Blind was a circus, wait until you hear about The Ultimatum, Netflix's newest reality show. I also dabbled in a classic Netflix reality show, Married at First Sight.

After checking out IMDB's lowest-rated films I was inspired to scour Netflix for some low-ranking titles and decided they deserve their very own countdown, from the BEST of the worst to the WORST of the worst.
