The Most Overrated Movies Of All Time By   [17 more lists]

The following is a list of overrated films. Some of the movies on this list can be considered classics, but that doesn't make them good. Others on the list are just horrible films and that fact was somehow over looked by everyone on the planet...except you and me. Everyone has at least one film that they can't stand that everyone else thinks is "brilliant". Everyone's been told "you just didn't get it, you just didn't understand it." I'm here to tell you that's not the case, it's not that these films were communicating on such a higher level that you didn't understand, it's that it they were just regular movies. Most of the time these movies reach outrageous status because some obscure film critic who owed a favor said it was great and your hipster friends want to be cool so they jumped on the band wagon. I'm not saying the movies have no merit, or aren't good, or didn't change the world of cinema we're just saying, "it ain't that deep."

    All three of these films are a travesty. Sparkly vampires that don't drink human blood and wait till they're married to have sex? Gimme a break. I don't even need to mention the horrible acting, the terrible plot lines, and the laughable special effects.

    This movie is tricky because it was really awesome to see the Titanic recreated but I could go on for days about why this is a bad movie. I will also tell you I saw it an embarrassing amount of times in the theater when I was 12. But that's how I know it's just horrible. Let's look past the point that no one in their right mind would be trapped in a mini sub with an old woman telling a story about her younger years for any length of time...the bottom line is: the boat sinks, we know the boat is going to sink, it's a historical fact so there's no suspense in that. Then after the boat takes two hours to sink, Kate Winslet gets to float on the door and Leonard DiCaprio freezes in the water. Are you joking? A guy gets you off a sinking ship and you're not going to take turns on the floating door? Or at least talk to each other so you stay awake and hypothermia doesn't set it? WAS THERE NO OTHER FLOATING DEBRIS?! It makes no sense! The other problem with this film is they just take her word for it. Rose is really old, and she's telling this story but she never presents any evidence. You could argue she had photographs of herself that look like the drawing, but it's a drawing, maybe the guy was a bad artist? She's holding on to this necklace for decades doesn't show it to people who have spent their careers looking for it, she just tosses it off the back of the boat. The moral of this movie is Rose DeWitt Bukater is a selfish brat that never changed.

    Oh big deal Julia Robert's finally has some cleavage and says the F word let's give her an Oscar. She is such an overrated person, but that's a list for another day.

    This movie is horrible. It's a terrible, awful, grotesquely long film. There is no story, none! How do you expect people to sit for almost three hours with no plot line? I dare anyone to argue the merits of this script. Yes, the film was visually stunning...if you saw it in 3D, but not everyone did, and not everyone has a 3D TV so you can see this movie once and say "oh that was pretty." James Cameron reaped a lot of praise for this one but the only compliment he deserved was "nice job turning FernGully into a live action film, too bad you ruined the story."

    I wasn't that grossed out. Stuff like that happens, people are into some creepy stuff, and semi-cute girls are used as lures all the time. Eli Roth is a little too big for his britches if you ask me, they certainly didn't need to make three of these.

    I like how half the time you admit the movie is good, but then you still say its overrated. You seem like a real piece of s**t.

    Wow what movies do you rate? I'd love to see that list. Yeah yeah twilight, Avater, Transformers etc. but The Green Mile, Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Brokeback Mountain, Donnie Darko...Films with actual plots, emotions, twists, bloody good writing...don't get. Also come on. No one said The Breakfast Club was meant to an outstanding piece of cinematography but seriously who doesn't come away with a good feeling after watching that. Dead inside I tell you, dead.

    Never trust the judgement of somebody who cannot spell or punctuate correctly.

    what horrible horrible thing happened to you as a child, at some points during this list i had to recheck the title to make sure i wasn't reading a top movies list.

    Also since when in the matrix 3 or 2 or whatever one was on here overrated, both matrix sequels were hated from the moment they were made

    No Country for Old Men, Twilight, and Avatar sure. But really? You can't discount a movie because it's not believable. I don't think The Breakfast Club is supposed to be the most realistic film ever made. Some good choices, many awful explanations.

    Started out decent. Twilight, Titanic, and Avatar are all over-indulgent garbage (James Cameron can suck my ass), but that is about the only three he got right. I would like to see his list of great movies.

    This guy is an idiot. Couldn't agree more with Thomas. This person was only smart enough to not pick on Shawshank, Usual Suspects, Casablanca... Or does he not realize those movies are critically acclaimed as well? Not difficult to find pop**ar things and make fun of them. The only good thing about this list was reminding me to watch the majority of these again... Great flicks!

    This list is just stupid, 90% of the movies on the list are brilliant pieces of work, and barely any are even slightly overrated, I'd have to agree with Thomas on the hipster thing, saying great things are bad just because they happen to be appreciated by the masses doesn't make you cool.

    Wow, you must have the most s**tty taste in movies, because a lot of these were not overrated at all. It reads more like a hipster bible on what films to avoid to seem too mainstream. Not impressed at all.
