Twenty Most Overrated Films of All Time: Part 1
Big Hollywood ^ | 03.13.11

Posted on 03/13/2011 6:54:03 PM PDT by Perdogg

This year was actually a good year for movies, as I’ve written repeatedly. The King’s Speech was great; so was Toy Story 3; Inception may go down as one of the most creative films of all time. The Fighter was excellent as well.

Then there were the overrated films. Black Swan was atrociously awful, another Aronofsky masterpiece of self-aggrandizing bullcrap. The Kids Are All Right was a TV movie masquerading as a prestige film because it was about lesbians. True Grit was a remake.

True Grit was fantastic even thought it was a remake.

interesting list.

there is one with Meryl streep that was highly overrated and I can’t even remember the movie. Interested to see if it makes it in the top ten.

I agree with Lost In translation. yeah, WTF??

Ditto that.

It was ok, but definetly not worth the hype.

I haven’t seen any of those movies. Most movies are choc-full of leftist premises. I wouldn’t waste my time.

The author apparently isn’t bright enough to understand either Blade Runner or The Matrix.

Taxi Driver or some such title with Deniro.

For years I heard people raving about that movie and finally saw it a couple years back. I didn't care for it at all.

Your comment baffles me: if you haven’t seen the movies how do you know they contain left wing messages?

I agree. It was one movie I got dragged to where I was happy to leave the theater to go change a poopy diaper.

I have not seen most of the movies,but Inception was great.
Nowadays if it wins a Oscar it sucks bigtime.

I disagree with him on “American Graffiti”.I loved it.

I hated “Lost in Translation” as he did.

Close Encounters. I thought it was a very boring totally nonsensical film.

This guy thought Inception was good so, I don’t have any faith in him, right off the bat.
