THE DA VINCI CODE (2006)

The Da Vinci Code: Simon Mein

Again, this one should have been a no-brainer. Oscar-winning director Ron Howard followed his critically acclaimed Cinderella Man with this soggy adaptation of Dan Brown's huge historical-novel best-seller. Unfortunately, costars Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou had absolutely zero chemistry — did they even make eye contact? — while Paul Bettany's chain-whipping Silas scared the bejeezus out of us.—Youyoung Lee

Stone's take might not have been exactly accurate as history, but it made for a hell of a movie.
