Most overrated movies?

[CLONECONES]

don't movies have to be considered good to be overrated?

why is biodome mentioned in this thread

[klamath632]

Apollo 13 was kind of terrible.

You must be ******* high if you think Biodome is better than Encino Man. Weeeez the juice! The cheese is old and moldy, where is the bathroom? The weasel? All classic moments. The only memorable moment Biodome had was them determining what food components made up each others farts.

Sorry but almost anything starring Sean Astin (Rudy one exception) I can't watch.

Two others:

"The Royal Tenenbaums." It actually was among my favorites of the '00s, but it isn't that special. Characters are almost too unlikeable, even within movie's context. (Plug for underrated status: The tennis-match scene with the opponent named Gandhi — I laugh just thinking about it).

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Superior among rom-coms of similar "type," but I didn't need to see it more than once. (Although, alas, I did).

I'm glad someone mentioned "The English Patient." I so HATED that movie, but my friends just loved it for some reason. It was three hours of skull-crushing nothingness, combined with mind-numbing worthlessness. Ugh.

You and Elaine Benes...and apparently a lot of people on here (I've never seen it).

Oh, no! Love this movie! Not Anderson's best, IMO, but I loved it.

I actually liked it. I only saw it once, though, and that was a long time ago.

Forgot to add to this first Strike against E Man was Sean Astin, Second strike it also starred Brendan Fraser. Not even Pauly can save a movie with these two clowns.

What's your favorite? Mine's The Life Aquatic, but it seems like that one gets poo-pooed quite a bit.

Also The Life Aquatic. It's just so subtle and well done, Murray is brilliant in it. The Fantastic Mr. Fox is up there for me, too - it's just awesome, even our 2-year-old loves it.

Top Gun. I don't get why people like this movie.

The Sixth Sense. Ho hum and way over rated.

[dahliaclone]

The Godfather movies, all of them.

Citizen Kane.

Gone With The Wind.

Agreed on the Godfather movies. They are good, but not the end all be all awesomeness so many think.

I'm right there with you all on this one! I'm a huge fan of The Darjeerling Limited and Moonrise Kingdom as well. Wes Anderson may indeed be the Paul Rhoads of screen writing.
