Almost Famous
cute movie. but nothing great, I thought. it has 2 major strikes against it, in my book, apart from not being a great movie (to me). 1. a fake band 2. a group of people spontaneously bursting out in song (Tiny Dancer) | |

I really agree with this one. When I saw it - I was thinking... "This is it?" I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Hmmm? in a musical, it's great. in a regular movie, it makes me and this also why i hate the songs "American Pie," "Piano Man," and "Brown Eyed Girl" ... because they cause this phenomenon to happen in real life. at bars, at parties, on bus trips.....

Meet the Parents
cute movie. but not the instant classic it seems to have become. in fact, most* movies with Robert Deniro in a comedic role (for example Analyze This and that one with Eddie Murphy) can go on this list * = barring The King Of Comedy [This message was edited Sun Oct 6 1:12:33 PDT 2002 by AaronForever] | |

However, I've been accused of the same, so I'll allow it...this time... | |

It could have made its own movie. They should have made it that way! As for Titanic, I guess you can have that if I can have Grease! That's some cheese I love eating! | |

BAD KITTIES. The Star Wars movies are NOT overrated! I find the Matrix to be absolutely overrated. Bad acting by the lead (obviously) and absolutely boring at times. I got so antsy when I saw it that my boyfriend gave me money to go get popcorn, and he told me to not come back for at least 10 minutes... the matrix | |

I really agree with this one. When I saw it - I was thinking... "This is it?" "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" has got to be one of my favorites. It's so good cause its so fucking simple - some kids playing hooky. But Cameron learns in the end that he must defend himself to his overbearing and insensitive father if he is to have any self-respect. And it's about not conforming to society - breaking out and rebelling for the sake of living - at least for a day. Besides, it's funny, too. ...getting off my soapbox... | |

Okay... all you super film buffs will want to kill me now... but...
CITIZEN KANE is terribly overrated in my opinion. I liked it, but it was NOT the best movie ever made. There, I've said it. SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Mulholland Drive, definitely. Some thought it was brilliant (0,1%), some say it was brilliant (40%), most admit they did not get it (70%). I did not get it after 2 viewings, so i suppose most did not get it either. Now i don't have to 'get' a film or book all the way 2 like it, but this movie was pushing it. Bsides, and i never thougt i'd say this of a Lynch movie, i got bored after 90mins. And i'm not easily bored.
Other overrated movies: A.I. Monster's ball The man who wasn't there (came close though) mmm...i'll think of some more, can't we start a most underrated movies topic, that's easier. "It's better 2 B hated 4 what U R than 2 B loved 4 what U R not."
