Smilla Jasperson was the title character of "Smilla's Sense of Snow" (originally a freakin' brilliant novel by Peter Hoeg), and was played by Julia Ormond.
Were this my list (and of course it isn't, but if it were), I'd have to add the first fight between Charlie's Angels and Crispin Glover in the alley. OK, sure, it was derivative of The Matrix. Still cool.
Sublime: I don't know about worst, but when your lead singer croaks himself with a smack overdose, it's time to reconsider your M.O.
Hootie and the Blowfish: My wife calls them Booty and the Ho-fish.
Barenaked Ladies: What the hell are you talking about? Easily the smartest guys currently working in rock, with the possible exception of Thomas Dolby.
Smashmouth: They'd be great if they just got someone else to write their songs.
Sugar Ray: These guys got famous for their ballads, but if you listen to their albums (not that I'm encouraging you to do so), it's all B-grade speed metal. Anyway, they should definitely be launched into the sun.
The Dave Matthews Band: Fucking amen!
Notably missing: Chumbawamba, Coal Chamber, and everyone on the Family Values tour.
I'd probably swap "Tiny Dancer" for "Island Girl", and "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" for "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Campy, I know, but there you have it.
Yes! I don't know if I agree about Vai (good though he is), but Satriani really does belong on this list, no matter how little radio play he gets. He probably makes my all-time top 3 - Django Reinhardt, Jimi, and the Satch.

They do! But speaking of complex and masterful musicianship, where's Steely Dan?
I once walked out of the theater during "Ruthless People". I believe Danny DeVito was in it, but I'm not sure. I'm actively repressing the memory.

Agreed on many, but not on all. My thoughts:
Extreme: Someone should set their hair on fire.
Crash Test Dummies: Should be used as same.
Sublime: I don't know about worst, but when your lead singer croaks himself with a smack overdose, it's time to reconsider your M.O.
