What did you hate so much about San Andreas?
Sorry for the late response. I wouldn't say I hated it, but amazing special effects and The Rock's massive triceps can't make up for terrible side characters, as well as a story that moves so quickly with plot points that are so convenient, they're hilarious. Add Paul Giamatti overacting to it, and you have what's easily the funniest disaster movie since 2012. Then again, since that film, it's been impossible for me to take this genre seriously.
Alexandra Daddario is hot, though.

2. Duke of Burgundy
3. Macbeth
I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

I didn't think Fury Road would stay at the top, but at this point I'm not sure what could beat it. Maybe The Revenant?
