#1 gave me motion sickness halfway through and I had to stop watching.
#2 is one-third of a good movie (middle), and the other parts are mediocre (first third) and terrible (last)

#23 is terrible, except for Michelle Williams, who's only in it for 10 minutes

I've seen 18 of these, and the ones that stood out, in no particular order, are #3, #12, #13, and #22.
