In a desperate effort to quantify the awfullness of the latest Dr Dolittle movie, slate ranks the Dolittles from 1-50.

[…] and more importantly, without any explanation whatsoever as to why we consider one Dolittle better or worse than another—here is Slate’s official list of Dolittles, […]

I can respect that, but it does kinda’ make you wonder when two of the top ten are described as “a direct-to-video film in which Norm MacDonald provides the voice of a dog.” :laughing:

What I really want to know is what used to be #50 and got pushed off the list by the Downy Jr. pic.

You’re right! I copied some of the Dolittle list, and pasted it into the Reply text window, which looked like this (screenshot):


and it comes out like this:

  1. Dolittle (2019), a feature film starring Robert Downey, Jr.
  2. Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006), a direct-to-video film starring Kyla Pratt.
  3. Sears Polydore Doolittle , author of several excruciatingly dull agricultural treatises including “The Mosaic Disease of Cucurbits” (1920) and “Muskmelons” (1951).
  4. The Doolittle Report , a 1954 study of the C.I.A. in which James Doolittle concluded that the Soviet Union’s perfidy meant “norms of human conduct do not apply” to the Cold War.
