I don't understand why Meatballs III ranks in the bottom 100. It isn't a Kubrick film nor is it Star Wars, but it never intended to be. Meatballs III is, very simply, a summer "camp" B-movie infused with a dose of teenage humor. I enjoy it and even own it on videotape because the film's premise is hilarious and it plays out well. (I didn't pay much for the used tape, though.) In fact, I think it is more entertaining than half of what makes it into the movie theaters from Hollywood.
The movie is entertaining because the premise is so outrageous you can't believe anyone made a film out of it. Also, I enjoy the antics of the outrageous, ogre-ish "Mean Gene" who owns the marina.
If you just want to relax with a few beers and don't mind drek if its done decently and doesn't pretend to be anything other than drek, then you might enjoy this movie.
I voted a 7 for it because it is pretty decent as far as B-movies go. I did not rank it on the same scale that I would use for a more serious movie or a big budget Hollywood film.

I gave it an 8, which I think is a little generous using the criteria I use for most movies, but since I give this a 9 on the Bond scale, I can see giving it an 8.
I really liked Dalton as Bond in this movie. This Bond actually seems like a spy and less like a cartoon character. Also, Living Daylights has much a much better plot development than the other Bond films. Overall, it seems to have more of a mature feel to it.

I gave Live and Let Die a score of 1. Even if I were only comparing it to other Bond films, I'd still give it a 1.
This movie has two problems--the plot is silly and it taints the bond series with mysticism in the form of voodoo. Magic, miracles, and mysticism are great for vampire films, but it doesn't belong in a spy movie. Even though the Bond genre is more of an action series than a spy series, it does have an element of spy-story thriller to it. Adding the mysticism is a statement that the Bond genre shouldn't be taken too seriously.
