America! Are we just going to sit by while the Germans take over our spot for worst movie of all time? Think of all that we have accoplished and have yet to accoplish!

We need to get on our high horses and kick some celuliod butt!

Sure, just about every other movie in the bottem 100 is American, but as our fore fathers taught us: 'If you are not #1, everything else means sh!t'

So come on, America! Let's get those cameras rolling! It does not matter if you have a budget or not, but so long as we believe in ourselves!

We have taken over territories before, lets do it again!

Sorry America! But in case of the worst movie ever made, it won´t be easy to bring back the trophy to the USA. It is not just because Daniel, der Zauberer is an awful movie with awful actors and awful singing, awful camera and a awful script.

The icing on the turd is the fact that it is produced and directed by two Fassbinder-descendents. Director (and Actor of the second lead) Uli Lommel and producer (and supporting actor) Peter Schamoni were part of the entourage of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the renewer of german cinema after WWII, THE german legend of arthouse and independend filmmaking. And Lommel himself had also been a respected filmmaker („The Tenderness of Wolves“).
And as far as i know, Lommel to this day is convinced, that Daniel, der Zauberer is a great and missunderstood piece of art.

So, Daniel, der Zauberer is not only a bad movie. It is the tombstone to the former hopefully celebrated „New German Cinema“.
