Top 10 most overrated movies?

A Clockwork Orange
Gladiator
Dirty Dancing
Batman (1989 one)
The Matrix
The Boondock Saints

The Dear Hunter

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

Titanic
Crash
Traffic
Forrest Gump
Shakespeare in Love
Moonlight
La La Land
Once upon a time in Hollywood
Fight Club
Men in Black
And all sequels, prequels, and remakes. All Tarantino films. All Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio films.

Mean people suck.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

Oh okay. Shakespear in Love is an interesting one, because it seems most people don't like it or even hate it, so if that's true, is it overrated therefore?

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

I just didn't like that it was a completely falsified story about Shakespeare. I mean there is so much great real Shakespeare out there, why bother with this?

Mean people suck.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

A great list!

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

You only love 1 movie anyway so your knowledge is at beginner level therefore your opinion of movies doesn't mean much at all.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

GWTW overrated? Don't think so!
Deer Hunter was a great film.
American Hustle was good.
Top Gun was good.
Star is born was the 4th remake of a 1930s film; I usually don't bother with remakes anyway.

Mean people suck.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

I agree with all of those except for GWTW.

Yes! I liked reservoir dogs too. It's not like they're horrible but they definitely aren't as good as people make them out to be

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

I thought a clockwork orange, gladiator and alien were fantastic. I'll just name 10 that I think are among the most overrated but I'll maybe be forgetting some. NOT ranked.


Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Fight Club
The Dark Knight
Leon/The Professional
Saving Private Ryan
2001: A Space Odyssey
Trainspotting
The Incredibles
Blade Runner
Jurassic Park

Also every Coen Brothers, Christopher Nolan, Michael Mann & most Pixar movies.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

Calling a movie overrated is such a weak attempt to disparage it. Only those who lack the capability to dissect film say a movie is overrated. You not liking a movie as much as others doesn’t make the movie overrated. If it’s a bad movie, then explain why. Don’t cop out.

That being said, The Boondock Saints isn’t really a good movie. The only reason high school boys rate it so highly is because it has flashy violence and is unabashedly over the top. Movies of its ilk have done all of what it did far better.

I live. I die. I live again.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

Good choices!

In no particular order:

1) Fight Club
2) Pulp Fiction
3) Die Hard
4) Dirty Dancing
5) E.T.
6) Ghost
7) Gladiator
8) 300
9) The Iron Giant
10) Cabin in the Woods

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

Every single one of these movies were amazing. They aren't overrated at all imo. I don't even know why anyone felt the need to list it as overrated.

Re: Top 10 most overrated movies?

That is actually a Pretty Tough Question (for met at least).
