It's Friday, and what better is there to do this weekend than to pick up a new read or rent a movie? We asked you to recommend a book for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, and the list is impressive. We talked about these books and more with Essence Magazine's Patrik Henry Bass (listen here). Today also brought a lively conversation with the filmmakers behind "Best Worst Movie," a documentary that looks at the making of "Troll 2," a bizarre (yet, much-loved) horror film in which vegan trolls turn humans into vegetable matter in order to eat them. This inspired us to ask, "What is your favorite worst movie?"

Todd Lassa writes on our website:
"'Troll 2' is too easy. The worst movies, ever are ones Hollywood embraces. The worst ones win Oscars when they shouldn't. The two worst movies, ever, are 1) 'The Sound of Music,' (which was directed by the guy who hacked up Orson Welles' movies) and 2) 'Dances With Wolves.' I've never seen 'Titanic,' or it probably would be on the list."

Michaelanthony from Queens, NY loves "Troll 2," writing:
"This is one of my absolute favorite films. I'm very excited that you're discussing it this morning! It is the most transcendently awful motion picture on every level, from its Z-movie production qualities to its convulsive acting to its bungling script to its profound irrelevance to the movie "Troll," for which it is apparently meant to be a sequel. It is, for these very qualities, or lack thereof, an indispensable classic. I can't wait to see this documentary."

Callers weighed in, too.

Ian says:
"The worst movie I've ever seen was 'Fear.Com.' It's a movie where half of the theater got up and demanded their money back."

Now on to books deemed fit for a Supreme Court nominee. John Grisham rises to the top of the list. David from North Miami Beach suggests, "'The Appeal' by John Grisham about how money alters the election of Superior Court judge."
 
Jay Elliott from Columbia, S.C.:
"John Grisham's only work of non-fiction, 'The Innocent Man,' a chilling and cautionary tale of a criminal justice system all too willing to convict the innocent, and turn a blind eye to any evidence exonerating the convicted, no matter how compelling or corruptly obtained."
 
William Hart from Hamlet, N.C.:
"I would suggest that any Supreme Court nominee to not only read the Constitution but to study the document. The 'litmus' test for any nominee should be how they interpret this document. The continuous bleeding of our rights must be stopped. Our nation is dying from this hemorrhage of rights."
 
And callers had these to add:

Via Facebook you suggested Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five," "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" by Erving Goffman,""Seen it All and Done the Rest" by Pearl Cleage," and Harper Lee's classic, "To Kill A Mockingbird."
 
Keep the suggestions coming! And have a great weekend, whether it includes renting "Showgirls" or reading "The Grapes of Wrath." Both are noble activities.
