Overrated movies

Ted
The Big Lebowski

 

ALL of The Hangovers: None of them are funny! NONE! Horrible fuckin movies!

Scarface: Shitty movie.

Taxi Driver: For the life of me I cannot understand how anybody considers this one of the best movies of all time. Its not, though Deniro's performance was great. Good movie, but not one of the best of all time, to me.

No Country For Old Men: Same as above. Good movie, but I've always failed to see it as an all time great.

Boyz N The Hood: It's overrated because it's considered by the mainstream to be the best "hood" movie, when it's not. Menace II Society is both a much better movie, and far less dated. Boyz N The Hood is almost comical nowadays that it looks so dated, and almost unrealistic.

 

Napolean Dynamite...ANYTHING Made by David Lynch...

 

The Big Lebowski is a stone cold classic

 

What's sad is, I'd rather watch Napolean Dynamite than The Hangover.

 

There WAS a Bit of a LETDOWN, when REED Finally Got Around to Seeing "The Hangover"...The 1st was Pretty Funny, the 2nd Not Sooooo Much...Haven't Seen the 3rd Installment...

 

& YES, "Menace II Society" is THE Best "Hood" Flick Ever...

 

Shakespear in Love: Takes the cake as the worst movie to ever win for Best Picture.

 

I'd take "187" over Boyz N The Hood also. By a WIDE margin. 187 is the second best "hood" flick. It's the BEST "teacher in the hood" movie by far.

 

REED Isn't Sure he'd Call "187" a "Hood" Flick...Not Saying "Hood" Flicks are Dumb or Simple, but there's a PSYCHOLOGICAL Element to "187", that Makes it Something OTHER than just a "Hood Flick"...But Yeah, it SHITS on Other "Teacher in the Hood" Flicks, like Dangerous Minds or Lean On Me, for Sure...

 

I can agree with this.

If someone made a thread on underrated movies, I'd definitely list 187.

 

Maybe the best 'Hollywood' hood movie ever.

 

I used to be indifferent to it until I stayed at a Berlin hotel that shows it 24/7, watched that shit for 3 days in a row. John Goodman's performance is one of the best I've seen.

 

The Graduate considered by critics one of the top ten best films of all time never fails to put me asleep...boring, uninteresting, overrated. ALL Terrence Malick films ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

 

Name a BETTER, NON "Hollywood" 1???...



REED:num:

 

i liked juice better

 

Juice is in no way, shape, or form as good as Menace II Society.

 

Any movie that provides endless boring 'quotable' lines than men, usually aged 20-40, like to repeat endlessly...

 

:like:

 

worrrrd is you killed Raheem... now you gonna have ta pay for it

 

"Clockers" is easily one of the best hood movies.

 

La Haine, City of God, a bunch of other ones...

 

this one is good.

 

I forgot about City of God. Yeah, that's an excellent movie. Never saw the other one you listed.

 

One of Spike Lee's best... Visually arresting film

 

The Batman movie with Heath Ledger as the Joker. That movie was beyond retarded, and people treated it as some cinematic masterpiece. I'm sure Ledger's death had a lot to do with it.

TFK

 

The first Hangover is a classic. If you can't laugh at that, what can you laugh at?


TFK

 

Does Ted really get enough love to be overrated? People saw it for what it was, an live action episode of Family Guy with a Teddy Bear.

Classic my ass! It was a POS.

Made me giggle a few times. But crack up laughing? NEVER!

 

He was fantastic in the film, absolutely fantastic... I hate comic books, I hate comic book films, I thought the story was one-dimensional, I thought the other actors were stiff and wooden... Ledger, on the other hand, was stunning, he made the film for me... And, since I never had anything to say about the guy before he died, his death had nothing to do with my appreciation of his performance... I acknowledge that perhaps some people's opinions were colored by his having died, but I assure you mine was not
