Spice girls top embarrassing movies list

The Spice Girls film and the sentimental musical Annie top a list of
"toe-curling" movies people have been renting out online, according to
research.
According to online retailer Amazon these were the sort of movies people may
have been too embarrassed to ask for over the counter.
Amazon.co.uk studied its movie rental charts and discovered a string of
films in the top 100 which were either obscure, unfashionable, or had
received a drubbing from critics.
Orphan flick Annie, Jennifer Lopez flop Gigli, Pamela Anderson movie
Barb-Wire and Super Mario Brothers, the video-game turned movie with Bob
Hoskins as a plumber, are being rented out online.
Amazon said it noticed a selection of obscure films appearing regularly in
the DVD postal rental charts and concluded this was due to the secret
demands of movie-lovers for these type of films.
Amazon.co.uk DVD Manager Matt Henderson said: "We have found that DVD
rental-by-post has created a new demand for toe-curling movies.
"Films like Spice World, Annie and The Sound of Music have been on the
shelves untouched for a long time, with potential customers too ashamed to
rent them out."
The top ten unfashionable movies in the Amazon.co.uk 100 most rented chart
1. Spice World (1997)
