overrated movies - Page 3

Surely their is a list of movies that suck more than any of these.

I know some of them are overrated but each film is iconic in it's own way look @ the atttention we are giving them.

Disgruntled Youth · 08.14.2007, 04:44 PM

My pic for overrated is Grease I never sat through the entire film not even 10 min. of it & I can tell you already how much I think it sucks. I will second what Savage said about musicals!!!

Wizard Of Oz
Muppet Movie
Wicker Man - original version, which is sort of a musical
There may be one or two others that escape me at the moment, but they certainly do not include Chicago or Moulin Freaking Rouge.

really? i thought it was rated quite LOW. a lot of people didn't like it for various reasons-- to me it was a great horror movie, however. i was fucking terrified through most of it, in a way that dracula shit can't make me (i laugh at horror movies, or they gross me out, but they don't "scare" me-- this one did.) oh yes, the real monsters--the mega-rich.

At least it was rated high in France (critics said it was his final masterpiece blabla...).

I agree with your horror movie reference (I was scared too, but something prevented me from thinking the movie worked).

Some great musicals for you to try:
Singin' In The Rain
Cabaret
French Cancan

Savage Clone · 08.14.2007, 04:54 PM

No way on Cabaret.
Thank you for playing.

Pookie · 08.14.2007, 04:56 PM

Yes freaking way on Cabaret.

And anything else by Bob Fosse (Sweet Charity).

oliver (because of oliver reed)
chitty chitty bang bang (because of the child catcher)

being old and working in a bookshop has clearly made you bitter and twisted. stop being a pookie.

Bitter and twisted? I can't belief I'm on here defending musicals and I'm being accused of being bitter and twisted.

Ditto and ditto. (Coincidentally, these are the names of the two detectives in my avatar)

Pulp Fiction or anything that Quentin Tarantino has done is overrated. Shaft is a shit movie too.

Toilet & Bowels · 08.14.2007, 05:16 PM

american pie, that film was extraordinarily overrated

I did enjoy Reservoir Dogs, but in general I detest that man and his work.

08.14.2007, 05:27 PM

I prefer Jackie Brown but purely because Pam Grier is a fox. The rest is poor ideas copied from exploitation movies from the 70's. The man is a jerk, generally heralded as a genius by blokes who consider Mohammed Ali a hero but see only danger coming from black people. Fuck him and them too.

errr...that's the whole point with tarantino, he's always stated that he takes all his ideas from those movies.

that there's a generation of jerk offs who think tarantino invented everything he does in his movies, well that's another matter.
