The 25 Best Movies About Advertising?

Rick Stanton, Creative Director / President, Stanton & Everybody Advertising + Design

Adweek just came out with a list of what they consider to be the best 25 movies ever made about advertising. I have to say I disagree with their ranking.
Many of the movies on the list simply use advertising as a vehicle for a plot that has little to do with advertising. In fact, one of the movies that centers almost totally on advertising, Crazy People, gets beat up by the so called experts who say it has great ads but it’s a bad movie.
If the 25 best movies about advertising are supposed to actually be about advertising, how is a movie with great ads a bad movie about advertising?
Look at the list and tell us what you think.

(Crazy People, 1990)
