Movie Top 5 Most Overrated Films

Do people keep saying Shawshank Redemption just because it's always been in the top 2 or 3 on the IMDB list?

Yes. And everything on the IMdb top 250 is overrated.

mad max fury road. not the work of art claimed. when i think back, i mostly remember the awful 'you're supposed to feel something now' music, and the hilarious brewing romance between nux and whoever it was. find it a bit bemusing that feminists latched on to it (ditto the claims of misandry or whatever against it).

Only seen it once but surprisingly for a Miller film the way it's directed annoyed me. It's just flat out the whole way through with a ridiculous amount of quick cuts and sped up footage, it's quite hard to even tell what's going on half the time. Must have cost an absolute fortune to make, I reckon he could have made one with more thought that cost half as much but was twice as good.

I love Saving Private Ryan but it does have a lot of cheesy yank sentiment and a fair bit of suspension of disbelief for a war film.
 
In no order

Saving Private Ryan
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
American History X
anything by Jean Luc Godard

to a lesser degree, I like Goodfellas & Mad Max 2, but both are a little overpraised imo.

With you on Godard.

Breathless. Literally a guy shoots a cop in a haphazzardly edited movie shot on real locations and everyone loses their collective minds.
 
The Star Wars McFranchise absolutely owns this topic. What utter, utter boring rubbish. If you were 6 years old I could understand, but adults, just dont breed.
Rogue One was such a cliche, boring, poorly written and acted film.
