#4. Dante's Inferno (2007)

Storyline: In this paper-puppet satire, a modern-day Dante Alighieri (Dermot Mulroney) awakens, completely lost, with an epic hangover.

Instead, Virgil treats Alighieri to a chilling tour of the Underworld, where he witnesses sins of all kinds and passes through the gaping mouth of hell -- which bears a surprising resemblance to the concrete jungle he already knows so well.
