Here are the submissions I have for good and bad sites. I guess I probably have personal reasons and they may actully all be good, but I found some of them done badly in my humble opinion.

Good:
* http://worldinconflict.us.ubi.com/index.php?page=story (flash seems to enhance what could be boring text)
* http://dsc.discovery.com/ (I really enjoy how the flash on this site enhances an already cool site and design)
* http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/time-warp/video/interactive/animals.html (yeah it’s still discovery btu this particular interactive element is AWESOME)
* http://www.conceptm.nl/ (it wasn’t in english but it was unique yet familiar and caught my attention)
* http://www.callofduty.com/CoDMW (compared to a lot of other flash sites it feels like a real website)
Bad:
* serjtankian.com (great except for the face there is no scroll bar on scrolling items)
* http://www.tropicthunder.com/home.html?deepLink=dvd (again awesome, but no scroll bars)
* http://www.startrekmovie.com/ (hard to say it’s bad, but lack of content makes it boring)
* http://www.wix.com/free/website (I dislike the lack of contrast and the jewel buttons)
* http://www.disney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/bolt/ (it’s sooo hard to select the links in pages like this with over the top roll over animations.)
