Top Movies You Don't Want To See

according to some 43 serious critics.
I especially liked two who went out on a limb, although they're probably big enough to get away with it.
David Edelstein called It's Complicated "affluence porn." But I'll probably see it anyway. On Netflix.
Jim Emerson, who I am proud to say I went to j-school with, called out Avatar. Good on, Jim.

Hey, it's a guide, just a guide. That's all.
I would like a list of most underappreciated movies.

Conspicuously absent, Capitalism, A Love Story. But that's probably because it was released in September. It's hard to remember that bad, that far back. I mean, half of it was inexplicably bad vintage footage and he decided we'd be interested in his meandering conversations with Wallace Shawn as if My Dinner With Andre was something we could all relate to in 2009. I'm beginning to suspect that maybe 2009 was the worst year for movies in a long time and may well be accorded honors for such at some time in the future.
