Houston's Most Overrated Movies.

yea, i went there...

mostly only relevent to my generation. if you are 20 something and remember what life was like before 9/11... it speaks to you. if you are younger, you don't get it.

same applies to V for Vendetta if you werent old enough to understand how fucked up the W. Bush era was.

Fight Club is one of my favorite movies ever...and this was perhaps the dumbest, most nonsensical argument for it EVER. And to even MENTION V for Vendetta in the same post...just...ugh.

I thought that this movie was decent, but my girlfriend continues to insist that it is Fargo level and I don't get it. When I ask her why, she, like most people that love this movie I feel, has no answer. It's a disjointed mess at times with some great performances and great dialogue....that's it.

So this thread is going to include any film in the last 2-3 years that was perceived to be great?

Kill Bill and Fight Club weren't within that range...and I also think that most are just doing it to fuck around. I do really think that No Country was pretty overrated though...

lol no, what fun would that be?


I hate Black Swan but the movie has no relevance, so why bother? I'm going after bigger names!!! Movies that will get me a ton of groans.

Non Clooney Division:

Kill Bill - I usually don't get along with the type of people who like this.

Inception - Ironic, a movie about sleeping that is so fucking boring and badly edited (it never enndddsss) that it can easily put you to sleep.

Forrest Gump - I was rooting against the tard by the end, even though Jenny is the biggest cunt in movie history.

The Fast & The Furious (and its endless sequels, especially the one with gooks driving sideways) - MAD PHAT, YO

Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, Vanilla Sky - The Tom Cruise triad of artsy shit that people pretend to like, but nobody really does. Unwatchable.

Animal House - I swear, the first time I watched this I was confused because I thought it was supposed to be a comedy. Where are the jokes? Perfect example of comedy evolving and not aging well over time.

Meatballs, Stripes, Caddyshack - see above. I'm still not sure Meatballs is really supposed to be a comedy, unlike Animal House which I realize is a comedy but just isn't funny.

Requiem For A Dream - I'll allow NAHSTE to handle this one. Maybe the worst non B-movie of all time. Neck and neck with the final movie at the bottom of the post...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - ..and I thought Requiem was bad. I have to confess that I didn't watch the entire movie. I t was so fucking awful I couldn't finish. Probably the worst non B-movie i've ever seen had I bothered to finish it.

The Dark Knight - Boring.

The Matrix - Corny.

And the winner for the most overrated movie of all time, and also the worst movie of all time, bar none, regardless of budget or any other factor is...

 

What the hell is this shit? I am not ashamed to say that I have no idea what the fuck I watched, and if that means i'm not 'smart' enough to get it, so be it. Total worthless piece of shit. If you say you like this, I don't believe you.

Jesus Christ...W2B you need your own thread for movies at this point. I think that you hit the general spectrum for great movies...that you hate. After reading that, I think I would be more interested in movies that you liked.
