I disagree that Avatar should be on the list. Yes, it made a zillion dollars but I didn't hear very many people say anything other than it had good visuals with a weak cookie cutter villain story done better by Ferngully & Dances with Wolves.

1. Skyfall (2012)- What made this Bond movie bad was that it came out after "Casino Royale" which was GREAT!
2. Network (1976)
3. Inception (2011)- didn't enjoy.
4. Amarcord (1973)
5. Million Dollar Baby (2004)- would not watch again.
6. Ikiru (1952)
7. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)-uplifting...would watch again.
8. The Double Life of Véronique (1991)
9. Videodrome (1983)
10. The Departed (2006) - By far best acting movie of the year in 2006.

No. Casino was followed by QOS which was probably the biggest letdown in Bond history.

9. Videodrome (1983) How can it be overrated when most people have never even heard of it? If anything it's a very underrated movie.

True, Videodrome is a sci fi classic. Every sci fi fan should see it.

Skyfall and Slumdog Millionaire, agree.

Inception and The Departed? What the absolute frick?

ETA: And by agree with Skyfall, I mean that it's over-rated. Still a good movie. Just not as good as it's made out to be.

I rewatched Casino Royale a couple months ago and I still don't see what the fuss is about. Its good but not memorable.

Skyfall was garbage.

You will only be safe if I take you into the middle of nowhere with almost no defenses and alert the bad guys to our location.



Yep, the plot definitely went stupid at that end.
