Burning Question: Make one movie/series disappear

After yesterday's post, I began to think about what movies I would completely blot out from existence and make it so it had never been made. Quite a few naturally sprang to mind(Battlefield: Earth, Freddy Got Fingered), but one has so scarred not only me, but the entire world that I feel that someone should go back in time and destroy the prints before it is shown to another human being.

I am of course talking about 1978's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Now I could just wail on that movie for 2000 words, and bore you all to death, but I'd rather let the folks at Rotten Tomatoes do it for me. I will just say this- Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees are not the Beatles and George Burns should never ever sing.

And it was this line of self-inquiry that brought about the Burning question: If you could go back in time and destroy a movie or even a movie series so that it never existed, what would it be?

I mean, Disney made Song of the South disappear(Yikes!) from the face of the earth, so why shouldn't you be able to make a film or film series disappear too?
