30. One Million Years B.C. (1966)- Don Chaffey

One Million Years B.C. Trailer

So this semester I decided to take a class entitled, "Archaeology at the Movies," where we watch movies portraying archaeology in popular culture and talk about how inaccurate they are. The only thing that was remotely accurate about this repulsively horrendous film is that there were people. Oh wait, modern humans didn't start to look like that until 200,000 years ago (sorry, my nerd is showing). Anyway, who cares if it is inaccurate because it has a great story and plot, right? Wrong. Ever so wrong. Basically it was a bunch of beautiful cavewomen splashing around in some body of water in the middle of the desert being attacked by really random gigantic creatures (giant turtle, spider, lizard, dinosaurs, etc.). Basically, the only reason someone could think that this could pass for an actual movie is if they a) had a seizure while watching it and thought it was actually Jurassic Park, or b) they think Raquel Welch is hot in a fur bikini. Besides that, for those of us who aren't phased by the fur bikini, all we had to look at were a bunch of ridiculously hairy, dirty, scraggily cave men grunting at each other. Awesome!
