The two most massively overrated films of he past quarter century were both directed by James Cameron: Titanic and Avatar.

Depends on which version you’ve watched.

Unironically this, it did not age well

Both movies put me to sleep halfway in

bait or retarded? I am not sure

Have you rewatched recently? It’s still a great film but very much one of its time

The Notebook
Jeepers Creepers
Spy (2015)
Vertigo
Buffalo 66
Point Blank (1967)
Adaptation
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
La Planete Sauvage (1973)
Where the Wild Things Are
Zootopia
Down By Law
25th Hour
Bullet in the Head

This
I get it, special effects are impressive, but move the fuck on already

Agreed, book's overrated too.
>The Notebook
Fucking this.

>vertigo
who does this fucking roody-poo think they are?
>le planete sauvage
this I can agree on what a shitty film with shit animation and terrible plot/engaging world building

It literally aged perfectly retard

It really hasn’t aged well though. It’s still a great film when viewed in the time it was released but it’s very easy to tell it was a film released in the 60s which is reflected in the dialogue and just overall feel of the film. Something like Taxi Driver or The Shining are examples of films that are ageless

I would rather stare at the wall for 3 hours than watch this again

Criticising unanimously praised classics doesn't make interesting or sophisticated person, you simply expose yourself as a contrarian teenager just a step above a plebeian normie.

I am more than willing to defend why I think 2001 is overrated but everyone here is not willing to engage in discussion. They just want to call you a dumb zoomer and move on

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is fucking garbage and if you like it you're probably a degenerate

>They just want to call you a dumb zoomer
they're right cause you really do sound like a dumb zoomer

This movie looks better than current Star Wars movies

refer to and It's still a great film but very much a product of its time

Pulp Fiction

The dialogue feels very stiff and wooden, the film meanders on extended shots of special effects that were impressive for the time but feel out of date today, the plot feels like like a way to just show these special effects instead of being memorable and interesting on its own. I could keep going but I have a weird feeling you’re gunna just respond with another shitpost

Heat was overrated. But the guns were cool. Gotta show support for my gunfighter brother Val.

>I think 2001 is overrated
You can write five paragraphs of fallacies and demagogy that would sound good in your tender brain, and maybe you'd manage to impress others like you with your nonsense, but normal people will still call you a dumb zoomer.

Ronin

lol ok man. You aren't even willing to entertain the notion the film hasn't aged well?

Scarface
The Goonies
There Will Be Blood
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
Reservior Dogs
Her
A Star is Born
Blade Runner

Scarface is the ultimate pleb movie

Fuck you Heat is awesome you little shithead zoomer.

>the good the bad and the ugly

Wow.

So what's a good movie in your opinion? This should be good.

The romance with De Niro's character really drags the film down

This. You can dress it up all you like, but your opinions are total shit and worth disregarding.

Retard

Al pacino and robert deniro sucked in this movie. It is overrated. Val and the rest of the characters are the only cool people in it.

Retard

Good points about films are being made in here the boomers just find it easier to shitpost about zoomers than actually defend their position

The DEFINITION of pretentious

Definitely heat. They didn't make me care about ANY of the fucking characters. That means it's a shit movie.

Here's a few overrated movies
-Star Wars
- Jurassic Park
- Back to the Future
- any Nicholas Refn film
- All of Speilberg's films
-Anything made by Hollywood

good points like "I fell asleep" and "it was boring"

Agreed. Yet it doesn't overall affect the rest of the movie.

Ive never thought of pretentious as a negative in a film at all. Why is it seen that way?

Heat is excellent you tard

I never said the film was bad I just said it hasn't aged well. I don't understand why you're throwing such a tantrum about it. If the film is so perfect in your eyes it can't be questioned whatsoever then I really won't be able to change your opinion.

All of those. Especially Scarface. Hated every minute of it. Really disliked it.

>muh super predictable plot

But I never said that I elabraoted on my position here but no body responded. I don't get the violent reaction to such a basic opinion

>the goonies
How can you dislike this movie? Are you a mass shooter?

Here's some overrated movies
-anything made by MCU

Anyone who unironically uses the word 'overrated' is retarded and I don't even care what movie you're talking about.

and why is that?

How can you like this movie? Are you a boomer?

> I totally predicted robert de niro would die.

Riiight.

Define the word, then let logic run its course.

Not the same user, but I'm a boomer, and I've always hated the goonies.

>have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Speaking for myself, I know exactly how good this movie is and exactly how hard it is to digest for a novice (having once disliked a viewing of it when I was younger).

Then there's the obvious reputation it has as one of the classics. So for someone to say that it isn't good, you have to be both naive enough to dislike it, and naive enough to think that your opinion of it trumps the vast majority of film enthusiast's opinion.

Your foolishness is written on your face, and you deserve nothing more than ridicule for your choice.

Dude. He spent like the first half of the movie talking about always setting himself up to abandon anything that might compromise him. And when he doesnt do what he said hes always done. Do you expect me to think he will live?

>So for someone to say that it isn't good
But I never said that. All I said was:

>Have you rewatched recently? It’s still a great film but very much one of its time

My only point is that it hasn't aged well. I really don't get why people are having such a fit over this. It seems like most people are shitposting at me without even reading what I said.

Agreed, After reading the book, the film becomes little more than a very well crafted container: It's pretty and neat to look at it, but open it up, and it's empty. There is none of Clarke's vision of how a being we'd call God would communicate with us across unfathomable time spans, or teach us, or lead us into higher consciousness. Stripped away by Kubrick is the sense that this being truly wants us to be in its image, and that the whole breadcrumb trail of monoliths was designed to do just that. And completely erased is the notion that David Bowman, as Star Child, is now one with the Universe, in some Zen-like way, and also much more like something we'd called a god.

Don't get me wrong, 2001 is still one of my favorite films, but to get the full meaning and understand the full weight of why 2001 has been called "the perfect science fiction story," you must read the book. Clarke marries science, mysticism, theory, and fantasy in ways like no other. Unfortunately, Kubrick stripped away the mysticism and theory and left us what is, in comparison to the book, only a glimmer at something bigger.

Kubrick touched the monolith, but Clarke went inside.

Did nobody ever teach you how to think for yourself? Is this the best you can do? Who is holding the opinion? What does deserved mean? Why should you care? If you think something is overrated then someone else thinks that you are underrating it. It's fucking retarded as all fuck and literally meaningless. It's not a criticism of anything in any way.

You actually have mental problems

It is overrated in the sense that for a lot of people it has eclipsed the John Ford masterpieces like The Searchers or Fort Apache.

Wrong
Wrong. Apocalypse Now is one of the greatest films ever.

Overrated films: every film by Christopher Nolan. Especially TDK, Inception and Interstellar. Every capeshit movie with high rating.

Leone made flicks, Ford made films

I haven't seen any Ford film is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance a good start?

I mean these days it's one of his most highly regarded, so why not.

Drive
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Pink Flamingos
The Truman Show
28 Days Later

What's goin on big guy?

Literally the only good thing about Heat was the lolishlag.

>the best movie from the 60s has not aged well
>it's aged better than movies from every single decade
>it's aged 1000s of times better than movies from the 70s and 80s alone
Come one now. I've seen the 70mm in liemax last year and have the uhd, both are great presentations and it's aged well.

>it's aged 1000s of times better than movies from the 70s and 80s alone
That's just not true movies like Taxi Driver and The Shining for instance have aged much better.

>both are great presentations and it's aged well.
I think the film is still good but:
>The dialogue feels very stiff and wooden, the film meanders on extended shots of special effects that were impressive for the time but feel out of date today, the plot feels like like a way to just show these special effects instead of being memorable and interesting on its own. I could keep going but I have a weird feeling you’re gunna just respond with another shitpost

Agreed. Movie is pure trash.

>taxi driver has aged better
No lmao. The Shining is the best horror film ever.

Ford made films, Leone made operas

This. Instead of shitting on films you consider overrated, why not make a thread discussing ones you find underrated ? And actually try to provide some point and create a disussion

The Shining is secretly about the Native American genocide

Taxi Driver has absolutely aged better

Even scorsese would tell you that you're full of shit on that one m80
It doesn't matter what it's about it's a kubrick horror film that doesnt have to be any other genre infused with horror

I don't think there are overrated movies except for capeshit and french new wave stinkers.

>Even scorsese would tell you that you're full of shit on that one m80
source?

Taxi Driver is one of those movies that will be liked by your dumb zoomer cousin, just like the Godfather. If a movie is loved intergenerationally, it's great and timeless. Just like the Exorcist, which is superior to Shining.

Skyfall

Superbad

Fuck off mcluvin

Maybe it's just a woman.

And her.

>Taxi Driver is one of those movies that will be liked by your dumb zoomer cousin, just like the Godfather.
What movies do you like?

2001 is one of his favorite films of all time he would probably instinctively cringe at someone saying taxi driver was better

>If a movie is loved intergenerationally, it's great and timeless. Just like the Exorcist, which is superior to Shining
What are you even talking about The Shining wipes the floor with the Exorcist is the the timeless one

What a muppet

No u

It's only good when you're the same age as the characters, it's not supposed to be enjoyed by boomers

And anything else Stone has been in

Pic not related.

It is a cinematic classic that plays annually in theaters around the country. It is done in theaters around the country as well.
Perhaps you suck goat dick?

Shining is a pretty meek and ordinary, it's an emotionally distant vehicle for Kubrick's set pieces, kinda like Dunkirk as a war movie.

I’ll fucking fight you

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>muh steadycam
>muh maze
>muh rivers of blood
Iconic scenery doesn't make a good movie and Shining fails as horror.

It has aged magnificently. No sci fi film has topped it.
Kubrick and Clarke diverted in opinion during the production. Kubrick and Clarke already had all of it worked out. He instead chose to take out lots of the overexplanation of the elements of the plot which Clarke does. Kubrick I would argue maintained all the mysticism and theory. If Clarke were fully in charge of the film, everything would be explained with full voice-overs.

>The dialogue feels very stiff and wooden
All of the poetic dialogue for use in voice-overs was removed. And the dialogue is very precisely chosen to tell exactly what it needs to convey its message.
>the film meanders on extended shots of special effects
It doesn't meander, it makes you focus on the images and forces you to engage with the purely visual medium that films is
>impressive for the time but feel out of date today
This is objectively false. The film is as stunning today as it was then.
>plot feels like like a way to just show these special effects instead of being memorable and interesting on its own
Refer back to what I said previously. Kubrick intentionally took out dialogue and made the film mostly visual on purpose. The visuals are telling you plot.

holy shit brainlet

Kubrick is for plebs who feel smart.

Who is the true patrician director then?

That would be Nolan.

There are better coen brother movies that deserve 1/10th the attention this does

Nolan, Villenueve etc
You faggot

Auteurism is cancer. Every director who has a cult is basically a meme.

hahaha fag cant even name someone

Ok, Mizoguchi is pretty good. I'm also fond of Cronenberg.

>hasn’t witnessed the masterpiece that is OUATIA
grotesquely plebeian

>Bullet in the Head
Huh? I watched this for the first time a week ago and thought it was fun, but I've never heard anyone even discuss or mention it in my life.

Watched this on a plane a couple a days
this shit won awards? what the fuck? the writing was terrible

here is dirty secret. The xenomorph was the most boring part of Alien. Great desing but Alien would be slasher in space with dickshape head monster. Ash is the real villain of Alien who makes the film.

I wanted to say that you are retarded but i also like Cronenberg so i can't. I haven't seen anything from Mizoguchi, what would be a good start?

I started with Ugetsu and liked it very much.

nice trips and its fake outrage. its like so fucking gross in terms how it didn't even age well. holy fuck, that was supposed to be a horror show, and now it literally is a horror movie.

>no u

great reasoning there african-poster!

Great first time watch, probably the best action film but still kinda overrated
>Full Metal Jacket
It felt lazy. It has nothing on Apocalypse now.
>The Shining
I don't get the appeal. It wasn't scary, it didn't have more than one or two memorable scenes. I even prefer Halloween to this movie
>Gladiator
It was fun but it's dumb as fuck. Turning the empire back to a republic? Yeah right

Cape Fear. total garbage third act
