and M and If are both a bit good for this list.

and If isn't American

but don't worry, there seems to be a new film called if featuring some sort of purple flump and a Wrexham supporter, so maybe both can end up on the list together.

I don't love the movie Lucy; but the synopsis is slightly inaccurate and a little unfair, since the movie was often criticized for perpetuating the myth that we only use 10% of our brains.

It's a slight misquote which IMO makes quite a difference; the scientist says that "It is estimated that human beings only use 10% of their brain's capacity..." Lucy says something similar about how much "capacity" she's using.

That's a different thing--it's some measure of potential or something vague like that; not amount of brain. Since the movie becomes pretty metaphysical, I don't think it's fair to think that "capacity" means something other than a vague notion of potential or superness. It's not nearly as absurd an idea as a mutant gene giving you a "healing factor" or something.

The question would be better to say "...brain's capacity" since that's the terminology the movie and trailer use.
