Most overrated movies of all time

Dances With Wolves .... (yes, I fell asleep).

I enjoyed titanic and Saw was not all that bad... I didn't particually like open water enought to watch it again!

Dancing with Wolves was brilliant so was the music.

Open water-no point in seeing that again.Wasa sad and interesting story but not much can be done in thoeir circumstances

Are we actually allowed to defend a film?

Not that I'm all that worried because....I have to go to sleep now.

Sorry, its my inbuilt defense mechanism which HAS to defend a wounded film.

Might be ... still fell asleep.

I thought that movie is the best independant film out there.

Resovoir Dogs and American splendor are tied at the best indie films that I have seen.

I think we've done this before.

(searching, searching...)

Yep: Everybody Loved Them, I Cringed

I'll repeat my choices from that thread:
"There's Something About Mary"
"The English Patient"
"Chariots of Fire"
Practically anything by Quentin Tarantino, but if I had to choose, I'd go with "Pulp Fiction."
"Dances with Wolves"

2001 a space odyssey
The postman
Waterworld
Dances with wolves
Clint Eastwoods spaghetti westerns
and the most boring film in cinematic history The Conversation

There have been so many great independent films made with thoughtful scripts, compelling characters, and originality that it's difficult to bestow that much greatness to a film so wholly derived from Stanley Kubrick's The Killing yet stripped of so much meaning as to become a tribute to the entertainment value of violence.

I quite enjoyed Reservoir Dogs--as I very much accept my sadistic side (toward criminals, at any rate)--but it is a great piece of pulp fluff and nothing more. The greatness of independent cinema is found in its originality and meaning. Without this it is merely Hollywood-style entertainment made on a low budget.

I don't know how many times I referred to Kubrick's "The Killing" as one of the films Tarentino must have seen in order to create "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction." It's in the depiciton of criminals, one side almost empathetic to their inherant nature and on the other sided deeply disturbing in the examination of their mind set.

i have never heard of the killing. maybe i should check it out. because i thought pulp fiction was good. another overrated movie i can think of is Shakespeare in love. that wasnt deserving of all the godamn hype.

Sorry, this may upset some Star Wars fans out there....but I reckon I have slept through everyone of them! I have yet to see the second one in its entirety....hey, I can't sleep these days, maybe I should watch a Star Wars movie!
