    Has to be a film that's considered a cinematic great, so Avatar wouldn't apply because no one considers it great.

    Cdogg will say Apocalypse Now, since it's universally considered a classic.

    I'm gonna say by far... Halloween. It's considered one of the greatest horror films ever, but I've long maintained that it's a piece of shit, and a poor rip off of Black Christmas.

    Halloween is the most overrated movie of all time imo.

    Another... Good Will Hunting. Liked it when I was young, but mannnn... it's God awful now. Robin Williams' performance is its ONLY redeeming quality.

    Horror films like Halloween don't count

    It's almost an artless genre ... on what fucking planet do people compare Halloween with actual great movies?

    Bullshit. Every fucking genre has its classics, whether you wanna admit it or not.

    You wanna tell me that Psycho and The Excorcist shouldn't be considered greats?

    Those films aren't slasher films

    Who the fuck says Halloween is a great film?

    1. Huh??? Psycho is considered the BIRTH of the slasher film genre. It remains far and away the best.

    2. Who doesn't? Most people consider Halloween a horror great, and most people consider it John Carpenter's best film. Even though it can't carry The Thing's spit bucket.

    Again you said GREAT movies

    Where is Halloween rated as "one of the great" films?

    I assumed this topic was about films like The Godfather, Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Strangelove... you know, films that get called "GREAT"????

    Who the fuck says "Halloween" in the same breath as movies like that?

    Psycho, The Exorcist... sure... but Halloween? Never

    I love Mean Streets. One of Deniro's best performances, and one that never gets mentioned.

    I think the term "Overrated" is overrated.

    Noble, answer the fucking question or you'll be forced to watch James Harden highlights on an eternal loop for the rest of your days.

    T2 Judgement Day is overrated. I LOOOVVEE the first, but Judgement Day took the franchise in the wrong direction with Arnold's corn one liners, and Edward Furlong's incredibly annoying self.

    Fine fuckhead, as you wish:

    AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies - 10th Anniversary Edition

    Let's pick apart this list (what a horrible list it is).

    Raging Bull is barely even a top 5 Scorsese movie, let alone all time movie.

    The Searchers is overrated and in no way belongs in the top 12 films of all time.

    LMAO @ The Sixth Sense making the list. Bloody Hell!

    Cdogg, how do you feel that AFI considers Gump greater than The French Connection?

    This makes no fuckin sense and you know it. Gremlins is nothing more than an 80s cult hit.

    T2 is considered one of the great action thrillers.

    You know there's a difference, you're just being a wise ass.

    Are we REALLY going off Academy Awards now???? THAT'S the road you wanna go down???

    By that logic, Crash, Shakespeare in Love, and The English Patient are all time greats.
