Much as it pains me to say it (as I love the books), The Dark Tower probably belongs here too.

Howard The Duck.
Conan

Could I have all the Lord of the rings films in. They all look like Michael Bentine's Potty Time.

Idris Elba would be close to the top of the over rated actors list.

The LOTRs were very successful though, box-office-wise.

Howard the Duck's got to be a top contender.

There was also a film of Run For Your Wife with Danny Dyer that only made £50 or so at the box office.

Neither of those cost much to make, though.

Lovely Bones makes the long list, much to my shock, as does Deepwater Horizon.

Waterworld, which I thought of as the definitive box office flop, isn't on the long list at all - I think it did reasonably well on DVD afterwards - so some of the modern ones might redeem themselves with time.

Again not expensive enough to make.

It's the top 32 adjusted for inflation from here: en.wikipedia.org

Can't believe Hugo is in that list. That was actually a proper good film.

I've seen exactly two of those 32, so I'll be making my uninformed selections based on blind prejudice. Like every other deathmatch.
