I posted “The Princess Bride” in the overrated movie thread a few months ago, and I think I got more vitriol for that post than for anything that I’ve ever posted here.

You SOB! 

 

[Scoresman]

Fight Club - I want to vomit every time someone quotes “The first rule of X is that you don’t talk about X.”

Nightmare on Elm St. - Freddy has nothing on Jason. 

 

[Johnnymac]

I have never seen this movie, and am glad

Caddyshack is hilarious.  One of my all time favorite comedies.

 

[Zow]

There isn't a single laugh in Caddyshack 

Wtf

 

[Zow]

Caddyshack is hilarious.  One of my all time favorite comedies.

It’s top 3 of any movie ever for me. 

 

[Zow]

I have never seen this movie, and am glad

Probably isn’t worth it for you to watch michael jordan play basketball, Griffey swing a bat, Walter Payton run, etc. either. 

 

[Zow]

Love Actually 

Saving Private Ryan (good, not great)

Toy Story movies 

 

[Major]

Pulp Fiction

Shawshank

American Beauty

all the Star Wars saga

ditto for Back to the Future

The first three tho...wow.  American Beauty is a timeless classic

 

[The Future Champs]

Shawshank would top my list in this category.   That's not to say I didn't like it; I just never understood why it makes so many GOAT lists.  

 

[Gr00vus]

Inception

Social Network

Lord Of The Rings

Fight Club

The Matrix

 

[brun]

First 5 to come to mind - some are a whole franchise

Godfather series

The Shining

Saw series

It's a Wonderful Life

Pirates of the Caribbean series

[Raging weasel]

the wizard of oz

2001

west side story

easy rider

ghost

 

[-OZ-]

the wizard of oz

 

The fast and furious movies (while somewhat fun they're overrated)

Titanic

Avatar

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise

The Hobbit trilogy

Compared to my wife and her side of the family, Mean girls.

 

[-OZ-]

Every Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler movie.

Sandler really doesn't stand up over time.

But Elf is the best movie ever made.

Gimme some funny moments and I'll youtube it.

Gimme some funny moments and I'll youtube it.

I didn't watch this to see if his best lines are in it, but Ted Knight's character makes Caddyshack.

Add in some of Chevy Chase's best stuff, Rodney Dangerfield and the Dali Lama and Cinderalla Story scenes from Murray, the movie is a top notch comedy.

 

[Jayrod]

Two that came out at the same time that I just didn't "get" were No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood.  Didn't like either movie.

Even Die Another Day?

 

[TripItUp]

Toy Story movies 

with you on this one...in general, not a fan of most animated films.

 

[tonydead]

Nightmare on Elm St. - Freddy has nothing on Jason. 

 

[Dickies]

Just about anything that wins an Academy Award for best picture.

Top 5 Movies You Don't Like As Much As Everybody Else Seems To

Nobody likes the best picture winners.

 

[Corporation]

Raising Arizona

Big Lebowski

Any Monty Python

Blazing Saddles

O Brother Where Art Thou

 

[Dickies]

The Princess Bride

Matrix

Batman (Keaton/Nicholson)

Ace Ventura

Old School

 

[Ben & Jerry's]

1. Rocky

5. The Towering Inferno

 

[skycriesmary]

Two that came out at the same time that I just didn't "get" were No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood.  Didn't like either movie.

Wow. Both those movies were some of the best movies to come out in years. Amazing writing, directing, and acting. Thanks for the reminder, it's time that I saw both again. Javier Bardem's character was one of the best portrayals of a psychopath EVER in a movie.

 

[skycriesmary]

No Country For Old Men absolutely blows

Why?

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Ferris Buehler's Day Off

Fight Club

3 billboards Outside ####*hole Missouri

Being John Malkovich

every PT Anderson film except Boogie Nights

 

[matuski]

Pick any 5 James Bond movies.

 

[AAABatteries]

with you on this one...in general, not a fan of most animated films.

Any Monty Python

Blazing Saddles

O Brother Where Art Thou

The Princess Bride

Old School

3. Rounders

Ferris Buehler's Day Off

Fight me.

 

[TheFanatic]

Big Lebowski - saw it in the theater, almost walked out. The other couple with us did, in fact, leave before the movie ended. 

No Country for Old Men

Anything with Martin Short

40 year old virgin

Wedding Crashers after the reception montage (just a crappy love story from that point on)

The Toby McGwire spiderman movies. I liked them when they first came out, but then I realized the guy has the exact same facial expression in every damn scene. It's mind blowing how little range that dude has. 

That being said, LOVE the Godfather movies as well as Shawshank, so there's that. 

 

[skol asylum]

Unforgiven

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

Definitely Avatar.  Such a blatant rip off, and single stupidest name ever of an important plot line, unobtainium.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Raising Arizona

Big Lebowski

Any Monty Python

Blazing Saddles

O Brother Where Art Thou

yikes. Bet you're fun at parties. 

 

[TripItUp]

Unforgiven

I like unforgiven, but I definitely get the overrated sentiment...felt like more of a coronation for Eastwood with all the critical acclaim.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Avengers Infinity War

Citizen Kane

Field of Dreams

Apocalypse Now

Dances With Wolves

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I like unforgiven, but I definitely get the overrated sentiment...felt like more of a coronation for Eastwood with all the critical acclaim.

I wasn't wowed by it the first time, thought it was just good, but it's definitely grown on me over the years.

 

[wikkidpissah]

I like unforgiven, but I definitely get the overrated sentiment...felt like more of a coronation for Eastwood with all the critical acclaim.

one of the "yeah, so?"iest pictures of my moviegoing career

 

[TripItUp]

Apocalypse Now

I almost listed this as well.

 

[Pipes]

Agree with Lebowski.   Blues Brothers deserves mention.  Also Ace Ventura - Don't find Jim Carey funny at all.  Jeff Daniels carries Dumb and Dumber imo.

 

[sn0mm1s]

Spirited Away
Inception
Memento

Any old "classic" prior to actors actually knowing how to act.

 

[TheFanatic]

Avatar was that way for me the first time I saw it and then I watched it with my kids in the last year and I enjoyed it much more than when I saw it in a theater. I'm actually looking forward to the sequels. An Avatar land at Disney seems a bit much, but the sequels should be cool.

 

[Jayrod]

I like unforgiven, but I definitely get the overrated sentiment...felt like more of a coronation for Eastwood with all the critical acclaim.

I can see why people don't like that movie as much, but it is one of my all time favorites.  It comes down to two scenes in that movie, and they are both near the end, so it is a long wait for the payoff.

Spoiler

When Eastwood and that kid they hired start talking about him killing a man, and then the hooker rides up and tells them about Freeman being killed and then Eastwood starts drinking.

Followed by when Eastwood rides in drunk and kills everyone.

 

[Christo]

5. The Towering Inferno

And coming from out of left field . . . 

 

[otb_lifer]

Apocalypse Now

ranks right up there with "Coming Home in a Body Bag" as greatest 'Nam flick ever - 1a and 1b, IMO

 

[PlayaHata]

Lord of the Rings for me

And since I just saw it for the first time last night and thought it was a total bore, I'll add Dunkirk

 

[B Maverick]

Fargo

Dumb and Dumber

Unforgiven

 

[Moonlight]

Dark Knight, Wonder Woman, Black Panther (probably include most any superhero movie, Inception, Hangover
