  1. 1. The Walking Dead. I’ve never understood peoples’ fascination with zombie talk.

    2. “Mrs. Parker and The Vicious Circle.” The film was a semi-true telling of the exploits of the gang at the Algonquin Round table. Jennifer Jason Leigh was robbed of an Oscar for her portrayal of Dorothy Parker.

    3. Precious. Let’s just say that things would have turned out a whole lot differently for Precious and Mongo were she a killer robot.

    4. Yul Brynner for “The King and I.” He is now the character’s archetype.

    5. Keanu Reeves in “Dangerous Liaisons.” Wow he was bad–presaging decades of bad acting to follow.

  2. 1) Bachelor/Bachelorette the idea of both of those makes me want to throats punch all involved.

    2) Dune. Talk about casting and early effects! This movie is just so underrated.

    3) Annie. Hard knock life indeed.

    4) mark Hamill. He will forever be only known for that one set of movies.

    5) Tom Green in anything but particularly in Freddy got Fingered.
