Joint Security Area

Almost a debatable inclusion in this category. The amount of horrible English that girl speaks just wrecks the feel of this film.

I almost put What Time is it There on my list, but I remembered that The River was a better film.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.
