While there have been many movies in the last century that have been held up as the world film ever made.

Stop the presses – James Franco has made a non-gay movie! However, he’s still interested in outsiders, this time taking on the true story of Tommy Wiseau, the director of 2003’s The Room, with James both directing and starring. The film is held up by many as the worst movie ever made, but has since become a cult favourite due to people being unable to believe how awful it is.
Jon Favreau is busy putting together the voice cast for his live-action take on The Lion King, and he’s just found the men he want to be Simba’s warthog and meerkat pals, Timon and Pumbaa. 
Early, work-in-progress screening of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s R-rated CGI animated movie, Sausage Party, got pretty good buzz, with many suggesting it’s a smart and funny movie, which takes a sideways look at belief and religion. Now, to tie in with it Comic-Con panel, a new Red Band trailer has dropped.
Sausage Party has been described as Toy Story for grown-up – a CGI animated comedy about food that comes to life when no one is looking. However while toys have to worry about their owner leaving them behind as they grow up, food has to worry about being eaten.
