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.

With a Bush hating and America hating cast of idiots and dopers. The star’s pa was also a commie.

I agree Titanic was a huge disappointment but Lost In Translation was just like this guy says “like watching paint dry”.

The most over-rated? Anything by Mel Brooks.

With the exception of "Blazing Saddles."

As well as the Steinbeck novel, Communist agitprop.

They put “The Matrix” on this list?! They are truly insane! WRONG. The first of the trilogy is brilliant. The second is mediocre, and the third is, honestly, painful. IT belongs here maybe. But the first was truly inspired.

The most overrated films of all time, as I see it:

3. (tie) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and The Godfather. Yes, they were good films. Just not quite as good as they’re made out to be.

2. Fight Club. Damn... what the hell what THAT?

1. Pulp Fiction.

Inception is overrated too, but not as much as these others.

Most UNDERrated films of all time:

4. (tie) Apollo 13, and October Sky.

3. Groundhog Day.

2. Titanic. Yes, that Titanic.

1. Forrest Gump.

And another, that’s simply a classic:

Vertigo.

My wife loves Seabiscuit, but she's a horse nut. I might be
able to tolerate it if it weren't one big historically
inaccurate love fest for FDR.

The matrix was one of the worst movies I ever saw in my life.

Right along with 2001 a space oddity.

I respectfully disagree. Mel Brooks movies are at least funny. Anything by Oliver Stone, OTOH, is hugely overrated.
