Name a movie that you thought sucked ass, but everyone else loved for some ungodly reason.

Here are a few of mine:

- Titanic

The Godfather. Why? Because it insists upon itself.

Rarely do I ever fall asleep watching a movie -- but this one was boring as all hell.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 606454


I hate all of those indie, artsy garbage films like Lost in Translation, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Darjeeling Limited.

Terrible, boring fucking movies... all of them.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Re: What's the most overrated movie ever?
Finally got around to seeing "Slumbog Millionare", it was.... alright. Perhaps months and months of hype around any film will result finally in disappointment - but "Best Picture"? Yeesh, can anyone say slow Oscar season?

Seems to me like more of an indication that Hollywood's given up on anything that isn't 'blockbuster' or aimed at 14 year olds. So if you aren't willing to give best pic to "Iron Man" that means you gotta search around desperately for an easily translatable "foreign film" or some art house flick, on the assumption that people will mistake confusion for "brilliance".

Silence of the Lambs (gross, gross, gross)

Shakespeare in Love (beat Saving Private Ryan, give me a break)

Ironman (could not even finish watching it, it was so boring)

Matrix II and III movies (those brothers STOLE most of the Matrix I movie from Dark City, so they had nothing for Matrix II and II; Matrix II was so bad I laughed out loud a few times during a special midnight showing, and NO ONE else was laughing but the critics agreed with me later)

Even though I grew to like it...

Mostly because of the quality of the footage...

But The Dark Knight, for sure.

I hear ya, Deadwood kicks so much ass I could cry. Stupid HBO for cancelling it.

Working my way through BSG now - that's another fantastic series.

Actually, I've found myself more and more enjoying TV series on DVD as opposed to movies.

Re: What's the most overrated movie ever?
I completely agree with Titanic and Passion of the Christ. Basically, everything coming out of Hollywood these days is a re-hash with more blood, gore and special effects.

So what movies would you say are good? Just wanting a little perspective.
