Antonio Banderas' action film Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever has topped a new poll to find the worst film of the past decade.

The Spanish actor's 2002 movie, co-starring Charlie's Angel Lucy Liu, is number one on the 100 Worst of the Worst list, compiled by Rottentomatoes.com.

Japanese horror flick One Missed Call closely trails Banderas' film at two, while Roberto Benigni's Pinocchio and comedies King's Ransom and National Lampoon's Gold Diggers round out the countdown at numbers three, four and five respectively.

Other notable entries are Heather Graham's Killing Me Softly in 12th place and John Travolta's Battlefield Earth at 27th.
