*** Dan Lambskins Top 25 Most Overrated Movies *** A.K.A MoP Hates Hollywood (2 Viewers)

[Idiot Boxer]

Pet Semetary and Maximum Overdrive are pretty awful adaptations.

I will give you that The Shining, Misery and The Green Mile are all fantastic. Doesn't mean they're better than Shawshank.

Pet Semetary was head-spinningly stupid. Great book, gigantic disaster of a movie.

The remake/reboot was even worse.

I had no idea there was one. Jesus.

Pet Sematary (2019 film) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I mean....it could be playing above my head in a dental chair and I'd choose to close my eyes and sleep. Zero interest.

They botched the original adaptation so badly, I had no desire to see this one. And I was a fan of the book.

Possibly the second worst adaptation of all time after the adaptation of Michael Crighton's "Congo"

I think Burger King's exec who tied their merch into that movie not only got fired, but was sent to live in The Congo. What a giant, steaming pile of gorilla excrement.

17 - Everything Everywhere All At Once

Counting the trend of terrible movies to win an Oscar . No idea how this got picked over Banshees.

Completely agree with this one. This was horrible. Couldn't finish it.

Fits the MoP criteria of anything released in the last 5 years, nominated and perhaps even won some awards...
Why does @Dan Lambskin pick on universally acclaimed films when so many since the pandemic are filled with **** ideas?

There isn't a single "No Country For Old Men" in the last 5 years. "Hell or High Water" is rounding close to a decade old now.
What hill is anyone willing to die on for films over the last 4-5 years?
Everything is released like it came off an assembly line for movies/films, they all are pretty much **** these days

I agree with #17 on this list, totally overrated

[TheDirtyWord]

I'm only going to comment on the ones I'm having a visceral reaction to...

21 - Arrival

I like Denis Villeneuve

I like Sci-Fi

yet I found this very boring despite its getting high praise in the sci-fi community

Maybe I just didn’t get it or had the wrong expectations. One I might need to revisit

This is the first that caught my eye. For me, Arrival has actually shaped a life philosophy for me insofar as seeing time as more of a flat circle (which in the film is represented by the 'language') and trying to take longer term outlooks with regard to 1) decision making and 2) life experiences, both good and bad.

16 - Edge of Tomorrow

Sci-fi with Tom Cruise and Emily Blount and they keep dying and repeating the day during an alien invasion or something

didn’t care for it at all but I see this one pop up on underrated movie lists a lot when in fact it’s the opposite

Interesting that the first two that caught my eye were sci-fi, which has historically generated much debate within the 'sci-fi tastemakers' community - Trekkies vs Star Wars...et al.

Aside from the story which is simply another take on Groundhog Day, but IMO done well, it's Cruise at his absolute best. Weaving in humor, charisma and action chops well earned over 40 years, this is one of the few action movies I still enjoy repeated viewings.

12 - The


Blair


Witch Projec t

quite possibly the most overhyped movie of all time

Also largely responsible for the horrible trend that is found footage

Really nothing redeeming about this one

I probably should have had this a few slots higher to be honest

I get it. I would never watch this again.

But going back to the time it was released...as the story goes, it was at a few indie film festivals and no advanced guidance was given other than this was found footage. It's legacy IMO is more in the 'experiment in story telling' medium that helps in increasing the savviness of broad audiences. Deserves credit for that...

9 - Animal House

Sorry Boomers, but it’s not funny, at least not to people not yet eligible to collect social security

Might be the most disappointed I have ever been in a movie, for years the olds would tell me how funny this movie was. Then I finally watched it and

4 - Caddyshack

similar to Animal House but even less funny. Maybe if I was old or liked golf? One of the rare movies, especially comedies where the sequel is far superior to the original

I've found comedy is really tough to 'endure' through generations. That's why I think Dumb and Dumber is underrated as one of the all time great movies. But before Caddyshack and Animal House, it was likely something like 'Some Like It Hot'...where the audiences and the zeitgeist of the time contributed to the flashpoint of affection for the film...but as tastes & times changed, so did the humor. So where movies like this live is in the quotability that acts as a connector and second language to the audience that used to the the worlds target market.

1 - The Shawshank Redemption

That’s right. Flame away if you will. Now don’t get me wrong, this is actually a pretty decent movie, unlike most of the others in this list. If I did a top 500 list I’d expect it to slot in somewhere in the bottom half

That said this movie is constantly at or near the top of Best Movie Ever lists and is nowhere close to belonging there

I have a Top 10 all-time list of my own, and Shawshank is on it. It doesn't happen really anymore, but it always stirred up emotions for me. Always felt it had no peer in telling a story about friendship, vulnerability, and perseverance with career defining performances for both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman . And we're talking competition from Nuke Laloosh.

But otherwise - cool topic and well done.

As for some that have been mentioned by others as alternatives to which I would also agree...as well as enter into the conversation.

Avatar ...when I think of James Cameron, I think of so many other efforts.

The Master ...this seems to be a favorite for those who are ardent PT Anderson fans...and I LOVE Boogie Night and There Will Be Blood. I also love both actors; PSH and Joaquin, but I've tried to give this a chance multiple times reasoning 'it must be me' and each time still being unmoved.

Apocalypse Now...I've never really been one for Martin Sheen and his performance here always feels like he's just overwhelmed by the role. Matching him up against a top of his game Robert Duvall in the beginning of the film and then moving on from that part of the story did him no favors. But ultimately, I feel like this one was Coppola still being given carte blanche after I & II and biting off more than he could chew.

It's been a while since I saw the unedited version of Shawshank so I can't remember how they handle this in the movie exactly but in the novella, it's a scene that's never left me.

The Robbins character is going to be forced into oral copulation but he stops it from happening by telling his abuser what happens to the human body when it dies.

Did the movie "go there"?

I have watched this one twice in the last couple weeks. It interests me when people don't like this one but like the two that you name because is the other PTA movie that operates very much in that same realm of messed up "families", pseudo father/son dynamics, and just like TWWB has two dominating personalities trying to impose their will on the other. I view Blood and The Master as companion pieces.

I agree with you about Caddyshack and Animal House.

Your number one is a doozy. Wow. If you're going to go out, I guess you go out big.

20 - Wedding Crashers

Similar to Bridesmaids, just a big meh from me

20 years later I can barely think of 1 memorable scene from this, yet it was constantly being touted as one of the funniest movies ever

25 - Halloween

I was born in 79, so growing up in the 80s / 90s I always found Halloween to be a distant 3rd to the Nightmare and Friday series

It’s not a bad movie by any means, but it wouldn’t rate that highly in any personal horror list of mine and others definitely like it way more than I do

Already this thread is horse **** hot take BS.

Dude if this is considered overrated then I can only imagine how ridiculous it’s gonna be Dan lol.

I will see myself out…..No place for me here to just post Horse **** every time to post a supposed “overrated movie”

Lol

Halloween…..overrated. Ok man.

And FTR: MoP took "The Godfather" by Puzo as it was interpreted for business at the Univ of Miami
Obviously we didn't endorse killing folks but the capo organizational chart works wonders and as we always say "You either change people or you change people"
Change their attitudes or change them out. You don't order a kill but you do order a firing and that's about the same feeling when you separate employees from the mother ship

Fantastic class, one of the very best, only nudged in experience by the "History of Christianity" which opened my eyes to the overlap between the Catholic Church and World History books
Jaw dropping to say the least and most folks either choose not to discuss or get very uncomfortable very quickly with the harsh reality of the facts as we know them

[Harry Manback]

Also I kept this at 25, I felt like trying to get to 50+ would just lead to me being disingenuous

But to give a little flavor here are some of the ones that didn’t make the final cut

Rudy - while this movie definitely sucks, I just don’t think it’s good enough to be included. Outside of @timschochet snd Notre Dame fans I’m not sure anyone else actually likes it

Boyhood - I get that it was an ambitious project, but again just not sure this one is rated highly enough to include. Complete bore though

Super Troopers - I don’t think I’ve actually seen it, I’ve just heard my friends quote it so often I feel like I have. Ineligible

I Love You, Man - has 2 strikes right off the bat (Jason Segel and Rush). I just don’t think this is good enough to be included

Pineapple Express - only made it through about 30 minutes before I turned it off so ineligible. Maybe I need to get baked and try again but I have a pretty low tolerance for Seth Rogan these days

12 Years A Slave - one of the worst best picture winners, certainly of the 21st century. I think I fell asleep for part of it

Superman - specifically the Christopher Reeves one, but I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen the entire movie. But you could include any incarnation, there has never been a good Superman movie.

Will get started on the top 25 a little later

You have incredibly bad taste.

I agree with #17 on this list, totally overrated

Anatomy of a Fall
Anora
Companion
Dune 1 and 2
Infinity Pool
Late Night With The Devil
Lisa Frankenstein
My Old ***
Oddity
Sasquatch Sunset
Strange Darling
The Holdovers
The Substance
Totally Killer

All good and released within the last few years

Tar
Banshees
American Fiction
Past Lives
Judas and the Black Messiah
The Worst Person in the World
Dune 1 and 2

There’s been so many good movies in the 2020s.

Horrible, ALL of them

Dune 1 and 2 are completely overrated, ZenHigha couldn't act her way out of a paper bag and Timothy Whatashame is no Al Pacino, Hackman or Deniro let's not confuse actual talent
You all are delusional and already buying into the way films are released straight to streaming with a brief appearance in half packed theaters

Hollywood is dead

he says after the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend in history

Did Tom Cruise break records with Volume VIII?
I hadn't heard that

It was MI, Lilo and Stitch, Final Destination all crushing expectations. Plus Sinners has been the most successful non IP movie in a long long time and one of the biggest hits in the history of Warner Brothers. Even small limited release movies likes Friendship and The Last Rodeo did really well. Minecraft was a phenomenon. The last 8 weeks has been nothing but hit after hit with massive crowds at theaters. Box office is up 22% from this time last year. The one modest disappointment was Thunderbolts. It looks like the Marvel model is officially dead.

17 - Everything Everywhere All At Once

Counting the trend of terrible movies to win an Oscar . No idea how this got picked over Banshees.

Completely agree with this one. This was horrible. Couldn't finish it.

Fits the MoP criteria of anything released in the last 5 years, nominated and perhaps even won some awards...
Why does @Dan Lambskin pick on universally acclaimed films when so many since the pandemic are filled with **** ideas?

There isn't a single "No Country For Old Men" in the last 5 years. "Hell or High Water" is rounding close to a decade old now.

Wasn't Stitch back in 2002?
Was it re-release or something?

Another Lilo and Stitch, Another MI, real originals they are dumping on folks before they stream on Disney Minus

Yeah it’s the live action version. I mean kids like that stuff. Just saying your point that theaters are dying and people don’t go is just inaccurate. It’s never going to be 1994 again where movies are the center of the culture but neither is TV or music or anything.

 

[Ilov80s]

I’ve been to the theater 3 times in the last month. A 2/3 sold out Sinners on a Tuesday after its 2nd weekend out. A sold out Friendship last Thursday and a sold MI Saturday night. The theater was bumping.

1985

Back to the Future sold approximately 55M tickets, like one out of 5 people in this country saw that movie on a big screen
Nobody had any idea when they would be able to watch it if they didn't buy a movie ticket


ALL of the Top 10 films last year were sequels of one kind or another
And you can stream almost all of them within a few weeks of theatrical release, nothing special about a movie premiere any more

Sounds like an old geezer grumpy he isnt the target audience for movies in the theater anymore.

Back to the Future was also at the theater for probably 10 months at least. I think Wall Street idiots thought streaming was the end all and be all (despite no plan to figure out how turn a profit with it) overly invested in it but that’s over. All the studios are pulling back on streaming and leaning more into the theater model. The new Final Destination was supposed to be a direct to Max release. Smart they didn’t, it’s gong to clear $200 million which will make it even more highly sought out when it hits Max.

TV didn’t kill the movies. Cable didn’t. Home video didn’t. DVD didn’t and the streamers haven’t either.

 

[Ilov80s]

And VOD is a real thing. People are paying money for that and the studios are profiting. I think Wicked had $70 million in VOD sales its first week of availability.

Marvel has been dead since End Game

Good chance Sinners will make this list if I ever get around to seeing it (I’ll rent it when available)

Star Wars VII, VIII, and XIX

[Ilov80s]

Star Wars VII, VIII, and XIX
Flaming piles of garbage, let's start there and work our way out

I never made it past the one after phantom menace. To me, the only Star Wars came out between 1977 and 1983. I have no interest in any others. All the other movies actually reduced my interest in the original 3. So yeah, the Star Wars universe is massively overrated/overhyped.

 

[Don Quixote]

Star Wars VII, VIII, and XIX

Are those rated highly such that overrated? I thought consensus was that they were not good.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Barbie
Super Mario Bros, seriously just pop in the video game and call it a day
Little Mermaid and pretty much all live action remakes of cartoons
(Can't we at least get a live action version of the Super Friends vs the Legion of Doom? Who the bleep is running these studios?)
Avatar: Which Way to the Water

I’m a huge Star Wars fan but it’s definitely over saturated. the Sequels are ok but not great

Revenge of the Sith is an absolute masterpiece though…hands down my favorite Star Wars movie
