Of course 6th Sense can't help but haunt this list. Is it a bad movie? Not quite. But after we know the reveal, the film reveals itself to be a cheap parlor trick and that is all that I can see in...

Galaxy Quest is a pretty decent comedy, which is a rarity in itself. So I've got to give it points for that. I also mostly like it, but like many comedies, even some of the decent ones, it doesn't...
