5. Sharon Stone - Catwoman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMpTGVHR84g Don't ask us to recount the plot, because sitting through it once was enough. However, in the 8 years since last watching Catwoman - and believe me, it was the only time - the one scene that sticks firmly in the mind is Sharon Stone's hilarious fall to her doom, graduating straight from the Ministry of Silly Drops. As Stone's character dangles over the abyss, Catwoman offers to help her, but once Stone catches her reflection, she falls to her death - c'mon, she doesn't look that bad these days. What's funniest about it is the absurd flipping motion her character - or rather, the mannequin they lobbed off the building - makes, clearly not the movements of a human being, unbelievably phoney for a big-budget Hollywood production. Still, looking at the incompetence of the entire production, an unconvincing dummy is really the least of the film's problems, but it did provide a small sliver of joy in what is otherwise a decidedly joyless outing.
