Eek.

But the guy on the longest cold streak also happens to be responsible for some of our most beloved films. Between 1984 and 1992, Rob Reiner could do no wrong, directing a succession of classic films: Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, Princess Bride, Misery, and a Few Good Men. He hit a major snag with North, but bounced back with The American President. He hasn’t been the same since.

Ghosts of Mississippi — 46 percent

The Story of Us — 28 percent

Alex & Emma — 11 percent

Rumor Has It — 20 percent

The Bucket List — 40 percent

Flipped — 55 percent

(Out of respect for Harold Ramis, who passed away earlier this year, I chose to ignore his output since Groundhog Day).
