Lots of dystopian sci-fi movies come out every year, and ironically now a days they're all kind of crappy and cheap looking, like many aspects of the hypothesized economy of the future.But there's still a lot of great ones to choose from, like Children of Men, V for Vendetta, The Lobster, and yes... Idiocracy. I love that movie but the answer people always give to this question is Idiocracy. No Idiocracy!Also you don't even have to name a sci-fi, some movies predict the future without even setting it there, like Network. less

Or do they mainly do one or the other?It's hard to choose a favorite, but Charlie Kaufman (who mainly just writes but directed one of his films which happens to be my favorite of his) has had a very large personal impact on my life.
Seriously, none of the other versions come even close . . . that original animated Grinch made-for-TV special ROCKSSinger Ravenscroft also voiced Tony the Tiger

So your parameters can be, for some examples, that your pick has more good entries than any other franchise, or the highest percentage of good ones, or the series as a whole averages out to be better than anything else, or maybe all together your choice has the most compelling concept, or it changed movies more than any other franchise.Or maybe you just simply enjoy them the most!My pick is the Back to the Future trilogy. I love all three films pretty much equally, they set out to tell one over arching story and achieved that, and it isn't pulled down by 5 other terrible sequels. It ended with dignity and to me, it is the only perfect franchise. less

Not necessarily because they're sad or tragic (though some of them are), more because there's a realness, or precious quality to them. I feel melancholy for days but I also have this weird clean slate feeling, where suddenly there's a little optimism coming back into my life and I feel kind of good about the future."Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is one for me. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is another, along with "Almost Famous", and oddly "The Princess Bride". And "Synecdoche, New York" Is probably the most wonderfully depressing movie I've ever seen. less

I would have fallen for him immediately. Though, in this movie, that may not have ended so well for me.

Who would you like to see be the next Bond? Or do you think it no longer makes sense in this era and should finally end?My favorite entries are: You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, Living Daylights, GoldenEye, and Casino Royale. My least Favorite is Quantum of Solace.Sean Connery will always be the bar in my opinion. Honestly I've liked every version of Bond, they've all had at least one good one in my opinion and were appropriate for their time.Diana Rigg, Barbara Bach, and Michelle Yeoh are the most badass Bond girls.There was a lot of talk about Idris Elba being the next Bond, Which I would be fine with.I would however also be fine with it's discontinuation. less
