Most Overrated Movie Of All Time

[visualizeperfection]

Vanilla Sky = DAMN GOOD FLICK.

You’re not kidding. Puts me in a very weird mental state.


Phantom thread does something similar.

[Flexacon]

Underrated movies.

Looper (Bruce Willis) and Escape Plan (Sly & Arnie)

[pamith]

Forrest Gump

[cart@@n]

Pulp Fiction.

[Hendrixian]

Predator, so shitty. Kidding, any Tarantino movie is overrated and over the top bullshit, but people praise as "cult" and magical.

[Earl1972]

pulp fiction and forrest gump are two of the best movies ever

what more do you want out of movies if those two don't cut it for you?

Ah! Good one, Flexacon. I can add to the underrated list:

Manhunter, which was the prequel to The Silence of the Lambs, and stars William Petersen and Dennis Farino, was excellent, IMO. It was remade as Red Dragon with Edward Norton, but honestly, I prefer Manhunter. The music, the mood - great stuff. And I'm a fan of Red Dragon too, but I think Manhunter is better.

There is also a little known Oliver Stone movie called Talk Radio with Eric Bogosian, that I thought was really good. It's about a Jewish radio host that got killed by a White Nationalist type. Usually I HATE Jewish victimization movies, but this one was pretty balanced, and touched on some topics [Jewish media influence] that would likely never be mentioned today.

Forrest Gump

I liked it when it came out but can't stand it today. Everybody thought it was so sweet how Forrest took care of the whore after she friendzoned him for 40 years. Total Simp.

Never seen the connection, never heard one person make the connection. Scarface came out during the British Music Invasion.  Maybe you are talking about Boys in the Hood, Menace to Society, etc.

No. I know what fucking film im talking about. I know when it came out. Im talking about its continued success. It continues to enjoy a large following due to pop culture references. In 90's and early 00's was referenced on quite a few records along with other trashy merchandising.

Anyway its nothing special despite its cult following.

[Matt]

This may be sacrilege but Scarface.  Meh. It was ok. It's benefited greatly from from trashy hip-hop "culture" it was ok.

That is sacrilege, LOL.

Saddam Hussein was a big fan!

[GymnJuice]

I've never seen it but I assume 50 shades of gray would be unwatchable.

Oh yeah. I watched it with a female friend. We stopped watching if maybe 40 minutes in. It was boring AF, IMO.

That is sacrilege, LOL.

Saddam Hussein was a big fan!

And he was a big fan of Star Wars!

300 was awesome. Over the top but good.

[Flexacon]

„300“ - could never get pass 5 minutes

I did the same thing, but I was expecting it to be another Gladiator

Watched it again 10 years later expecting it to be OTT like shizzo said, kinda more like a superhero movie and ended up really enjoying it.

Scarface got a big push from hip hop afterward. They love the pulled yourself up by your bootstraps arc, plus the flashiness of it. I like it too, it's got quotes for days, and is a fun movie, but would be in the 7/10 range without the hype. Carlito's Way is a much better film.

--------------------

Also Talk Radio mentioned earlier is a fine film, and the real story that delves into "The Order", and the survivalist / WP stuff that was going on at that time is really interesting. Salvador and Talk Radio are both good Oliver Stone films you don't hear much about now.
