"The Alamo"(2004) Remember "The Alamo"? Don't feel bad, nobody else does either. Ron Howard and Russell Crowe dodged a bullet when they passed on one of the costliest flops in history(Howard got grazed though, he stayed on as a producer). Dennis Quaid, Jason Patrick, and Billy Bob Thornton sloughed through this staid Oscar bait.
Video: The Alamo (2004)
The depiction of the Texas Revolution is said to be historically accurate. That hardly matters when the results are this boring. The film got steamrolled by "The Passion of the Christ" at the spring '04 box office, collecting a mere $22 million on a budget of $95 million.
