10. Virgin Territory
Cast: Hayden Christensen, Mischa Barton, Tim Roth
All you need to know about this botched attempt to Generation Y-ify Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron is that its overseas title is Medieval Pie. No, Anakin Skywalker doesn’t stick his lightsaber in an apple crostata. But there is all manner of sexual shenanigans going on in a Black Death-ravaged Italy, from strip pole dances to threesomes. And Christensen, who’s feebler than any plague victim, takes to bedding nubile young nuns to numb the pain of losing his beloved (a refined Barton) to a Russian prince. You might care something about these privileged youths, except their unrestrained horniness mostly makes them insufferable.
