James Cameron's 2009 film currently stands as the highest-grossing movie ever, and helped usher in the new age of 3D films. But the romantic space fantasy with an eco-conscious sub-story is somewhat familiar, with plot points that seem reminiscent of Dances With Wolves and FernGully: The Last Rainforest. Several parties have actually launched lawsuits against Cameron, claiming that he stole art concepts and ideas from creators, and while none have been successful, there remains a feeling that Avatar is less fresh and original than it first seemed. There is talk that three sequels are in the works, but even fans don't seem to be clamouring for more the way they do with other blockbusters.

I agree with the list EXCEPT for The Big Lebowski, Field of Dreams and A Clockwork Orange. Those are movies of GENIUS.
I have never seen Lebowski because I fear it won't life up to it's hype. I just accept that the Dude abides.
