Continuing the sad but necessary task of reflecting on the clouds that contain the silver linings.
6: 10000 BC- a genuine disaster movie
5: Sex and the City- product placement on characters who have nothing but their own personal hell to wear it in
4: Eagle Eye- A North by Northwest rip-off that ends up the most expensive audition showreel in Hollywood history
3: 21 – the only film I walked out of this year; even though I was there alone, I felt embarrassed for myself
2: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor/Journey to the Center of the Earth – see our episodes on these Brendan Fraser mega-trons for more info; or watch ‘Gods and Monsters’ and ‘Blast from the Past’ to be reminded of why he’s pretty good sometimes.
1: Wanted – an advertisement for nihilism that I had to pay to see.

Wow – this list is the complete opposite to the “bottom 5″ in my opinion.
Those movies all had something promising about them – a director, actor, or intriguing story.
These all seemed to have been doomed from the get-go. Either completely unnecessary, or plainly evident that they would be crap.
This is what I meant when talking about films only being disappointments when you expected good things from them.
Agree about the two I've seen, 10,000 BC and Wanted.
Glad to see you had a rethink about Be Kind Rewind Gareth, which I think was heading for this list a few months back. Maybe not a film of the year, but I really enjoyed it.
