Never bothered with The Spirit. To me it looked awful from the get go. Some films aren't worth my time. So I get that one. Agreed on the other 3 though. I own all of them and consider each one to be well above average, Watchmen especially.

Way worse films out there. Most of those listed wouldn't even come close to my top worse films.

I gave The Spirit about 10 minutes (on DVD) before turning it into a very shiny frisbee . . . absolute CRAP

I respect that everyone has different tastes, but I'm just staggered that you couldn't take SOMETHING away from No Country. It's a movie (and book) I revist constantly. One of the most intelligent, sublime movies I've ever had the privellige of watching.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

No offense to anyone, but some people don't like intelligent movies. They like the eye candy or the movie is boring. I love movies like No Country and The Grey, etc They are great story telling films.

Dawn of the Dead [George Romero's] 8.5/10 how in god's name does it take me so long to get to things like this!
Snyder's version is maybe a 7/10

NCfOM is excellent; Best Buy had the BD for $10.. you can bet your sweet caboose that I bought it.  Great acting around a relevant storyline.

Each morning, in this thread I sometimes linger,
Just had Denver Omelette burrito, extra peppers; come pull my finger.
