No!

hmmm, maybe.I did not think too much of that film either! Iam not deliberately bieng individual and diffeent here either, I just don't feel it is so bloody watchable every 5 minutes like some people used to.....

LOTR Trilogy is.

PF is one of my fave ever films.

I liked it.

I think Titanic is probably most overrated. but then again, I never saw it

I think it's great because of the dialogue between the characters. It's almost as if we are privy to private conversations that are taking place between people rather than the characters talking FOR an audience they know is watching. It's a subtle nuance and an effective one imo. If you know what I mean!

It's best demonstrated in the scene between John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson in the car when they are talking about Cheese Royals

bet me and byron could do the car dialogue

I think "overrated" is the most overrated term of all time While I'm no fan of Pulp Fiction, I do, as a whole, like Tarantino's work. Jackie Brown was a phenomenal film.

Pulp Fiction IS brilliant. I agree with Heavenly about Titanic. Terribly over-rated.

Y'all are crazy! Titanic is an excellent film. It wasn't my favorite that year (that would've been Eve's Bayou), but an achievement, and a very good film nonetheless. I'm not ashamed to say I think it was a great film, and I'm looking forward to the special edition DVD release in 2005!

"THE THIN RED LINE" is the most overrated movie ever. Pulp Fiction is great!

I don't know if I'd say it's overrated.

I can say, that I wasn't particularly impressed by it. But, whatevs. I enjoyed "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" so what do I know?

The most overrated movie is 2001

Damn right it gets loads of praise, but i can never make it through without falling asleep. It's so BOOOORIIING!

apart from The Shining i mostly hate Kubricks films.

BTW, since when has Titanic ever been critically acclaimed enough to become overrated. Most reviews said it sucked. The last half of the movie with the ship sinking is pretty sweet though.

and Pulp Fiction rules.

"we should have fuckin shotguns....."

Pulp Fiction was and is great. It deserves every bit of noteriety it gets. It is NOT overrated. I agree with Apocolypse Now, 2001, The Thin Red Line being o/r. I'll add Dances With Wolves to that list.

I think Titanic was a good movie. I don't think it was quite as good as everyone said. The first half was 100% cheese, the last half was awesome though.

Pulp Fiction is an excellent movie, and in its day it was something very different and influential. I've never been particularly interested in the hype behind films, but I think this one stands on its own merits. Haven't watched it for ages, so maybe it's dated a little, but I imagine it's still pretty cool.....

I seem to be one of the few people who actually liked Thin Red Line too!

(Can't comment on Apocalypse Now because..... I.... erm..... haven't... actually quite, well..... that is to say, I've....um.... never really.... seen it.....!)

Well, I didn't say it wasn't good, just terribly over-rated. It swept the Oscars that year, and was the biggest grossing film of all time. It was good, but it wasn't THAT good.

Mine too CB. It's in my top 10 for sure. Great story and great acting.

Pulp Fiction the best devil movie ever made, even better than the Exorcist

Heavenly said:

you didn't miss anything. boring love story ruined the whole thing. plus, it gave us a formula now copied with movies like pearl harbour

Didn't like it. But that's just me:)
