Houston's Most Overrated Movies.

[Senser81]

In no particular order, here are some movies I like off the top of my head. I will limit this to dramas.

The Prestige
Goodfellas
American Beauty
Full Metal Jacket
Memento
Shawshank
The Departed
Return to Paradise
The Usual Suspects
Jerry McGuire

Vastly overrated movies in bold

[Palooza]

Full Metal Jacket is only half of a good movie.

Lol no fucking way, that is a severely overrated point of view.

In fact I think I said to a friend of mine the other day that I will never discuss movies with someone who takes up that position ever again.

I never saw 300. Whenever I tell people that they freak out.

Am I missing something great or is it an overrated movie?

Horrible movie, the same people that love that probably also love Boondock Saints....which I haven't seen by the way.

I've never seen it either, may still someday, not very high on my list of movies to watch.

How so?

Boondock Saints is a guilty pleasure of mine but it's far from one of my favorite movies.


nflman, have you watched The Longest Day yet?

No sorry, I have been slacking bigtime on movie watching.

Zach Snyder captures his source material like few others. He likes to do comic books, and captured 300 and eventually Watchmen in a way that no one probably thought of.

300 is the graphic novel come alive. Its a cool flick to see.

However, knowing you're multi-quote self, you'll probably be all like "this movie is not historically accurate...my balls itch." So, TIFWIW.

I'm not really a comic fan at all. I'm not sure I've ever read one my entire life. I've also never read a graphic novel.

It's a fun watch. Ridiculously over the top and bordering on cartoonish, with some cringeworthy dialogue, but there are also some really cool sequences and jaw dropping action scenes.

I like it as pure entertainment but its merits as a "film" leave a bit to be desired.

[Rivers17ncsu]

Jesus, Rivers has just about the worst taste in movies I have seen. With one or two exceptions, I am about 100% in disagreement with every pick.

I can understand people disagreeing with Casino and maybe Anchorman. But Bridesmaids (even though I liked it) just isn't nowhere near as good as a lot of people make it out to be. But movies like Talladega Nights and the first two Paranormal Activity movies I just don't get. Maybe the first one is because I'm not big on Will Ferrel in general, but most of his movies i laugh a little bit just not that one.

[Houston]

Rivers will not drop this..



P.S.-What does Relaxedanderson mean by "WBT6L"?

[Rivers17ncsu]

Well if someone didn't make a new comment about it everyday then there would be nothing to drop :-P

oh by the way, I love Talladega Nights... I am however a NASCAR fan, Amy Adams fan, oh and a huge Elvis Costello Fan.
