The two most massively overrated films of he past quarter century were both directed by James Cameron: Titanic and Avatar.
Joshua Richardson
Depends on which version you’ve watched.
Jayden Diaz
Unironically this, it did not age well
Oliver Taylor
Austin Cook
Both movies put me to sleep halfway in
Samuel Russell
bait or retarded? I am not sure
Grayson Lee
Have you rewatched recently? It’s still a great film but very much one of its time
Carson Watson
The Notebook
Jeepers Creepers
Spy (2015)
Vertigo
Buffalo 66
Point Blank (1967)

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
La Planete Sauvage (1973)

I get it, special effects are impressive, but move the fuck on already
Carter Myers
Agreed, book's overrated too.
>The Notebook
Fucking this.
Dominic Sanders
>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
John Wright
It literally aged perfectly retard
Jayden Campbell
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
Ryan Hill
I would rather stare at the wall for 3 hours than watch this again
Bentley Wilson
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.
Owen Price
Amelie
Evan Martin
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
Hunter Anderson
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is fucking garbage and if you like it you're probably a degenerate
Tyler Cruz
>They just want to call you a dumb zoomer
they're right cause you really do sound like a dumb zoomer
Aaron Allen
This movie looks better than current Star Wars movies
Jonathan Scott
refer to and It's still a great film but very much a product of its time
Jonathan Carter
Pulp Fiction
Leo Baker
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stiff and wooden, the film meanders on extended shots of special effects that were impressive for the time but feel out of date today, the plot feels like like a way to just show these special effects instead of being memorable and interesting on its own.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
Andrew Long
Heat was overrated. But the guns were cool. Gotta show support for my gunfighter brother Val.
Charles Williams
>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.
Nolan Scott
Ronin
Jayden Gray
lol ok man. You aren't even willing to entertain the notion the film hasn't aged well?
Asher Richardson
Scarface
The Goonies
There Will Be Blood
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
Reservior Dogs
Her
A Star is Born
Blade Runner
Jacob Morris
Scarface is the ultimate pleb movie
John Foster
Fuck you Heat is awesome you little shithead zoomer.
Dylan Richardson
ITT: zoomers raised on mobile phones and tablets
Isaac Peterson
>the good the bad and the ugly
Wow.
So what's a good movie in your opinion? This should be good.
Brandon Long
The romance with De Niro's character really drags the film down
Benjamin Diaz
This. You can dress it up all you like, but your opinions are total shit and worth disregarding.
Lucas Gray
Retard
Hunter Murphy
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.
Hunter Hill
Retard
Daniel Martinez
Good points about films are being made in here the boomers just find it easier to shitpost about zoomers than actually defend their position
Oliver Torres
>lol ok man
>absolutely normalfag tier taste
Soifaggot cuck redditor detected, looks like you took a wrong turn. Go back
Andrew Russell
Retard
Joshua Gray
The DEFINITION of pretentious
Levi Jones
Definitely heat. They didn't make me care about ANY of the fucking characters. That means it's a shit movie.
Jonathan Diaz
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
Kayden Howard
good points like "I fell asleep" and "it was boring"
Lincoln Morris
Agreed. Yet it doesn't overall affect the rest of the movie.
Bentley White
Ive never thought of pretentious as a negative in a film at all. Why is it seen that way?
Ryder Wright
Heat is excellent you tard
Brandon Adams
Kayden Harris
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.
Joseph Brooks
All of those. Especially Scarface. Hated every minute of it. Really disliked it.
Jackson Myers
Evan Martin
>muh super predictable plot
Isaiah Brooks
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
Leo Barnes
>the goonies
How can you dislike this movie? Are you a mass shooter?
Isaiah Powell
Here's some overrated movies
-anything made by MCU
David Gray
Anyone who unironically uses the word 'overrated' is retarded and I don't even care what movie you're talking about.
Landon Roberts
and why is that?
David Phillips
How can you like this movie? Are you a boomer?
Luke Jenkins
> I totally predicted robert de niro would die.
Riiight.
Jaxson Baker
Define the word, then let logic run its course.
Ian Green
Not the same user, but I'm a boomer, and I've always hated the goonies.
Nolan Cook
>have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Jack Foster
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.
Cooper Cruz
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?
Jace Roberts
>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.
Christian Rivera
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.
Jose Allen
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.
Caleb Smith
based boomers sperging at basic film takes.
Alexander Morris

Jose Ward

Justin Howard
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.
Daniel Hernandez
David Wood
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.
William Mitchell
Leone made flicks, Ford made films
Carson Lewis
I haven't seen any Ford film is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance a good start?
Jaxon Richardson
I mean these days it's one of his most highly regarded, so why not.
Samuel Diaz
Drive
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Pink Flamingos
The Truman Show
28 Days Later
Wyatt Sanders
What's goin on big guy?
James Rivera
Literally the only good thing about Heat was the lolishlag.
Austin Walker
Adrian Howard
Every capeshit. It baffles my mind how people unironically like them
Noah Rodriguez
Lincoln Allen
>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.
Kayden Jones
>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
Luis Thomas
Agreed. Movie is pure trash.
Justin Butler
>taxi driver has aged better
No lmao. The Shining is the best horror film ever.
Jonathan Collins
Ford made films, Leone made operas
Anthony Gonzalez
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
Brody Foster
The Shining is secretly about the Native American genocide
Luis Young
Taxi Driver has absolutely aged better
Justin Smith
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
Nathan Walker
I don't think there are overrated movies except for capeshit and french new wave stinkers.
Aaron Baker
>Even scorsese would tell you that you're full of shit on that one m80
source?
Luis Reed
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.
Nolan Turner
Skyfall
Kevin Ward
Superbad
Jaxon Richardson
Fuck off mcluvin
Isaac Nelson
Maybe it's just a woman.
And her.
Gabriel Gonzalez
>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?
Kayden Young
2001 is one of his favorite films of all time he would probably instinctively cringe at someone saying taxi driver was better
Oliver James
>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
John Cook
What a muppet
Dominic Thompson
No u
Samuel Mitchell
It's only good when you're the same age as the characters, it's not supposed to be enjoyed by boomers
Jaxson Reyes
And anything else Stone has been in
Wyatt King
Pic not related.
Wyatt Hughes
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?
Ethan Cooper
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.
Luis Scott
I’ll fucking fight you
Parker Lee
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jonathan Foster
>muh steadycam
>muh maze
>muh rivers of blood
Iconic scenery doesn't make a good movie and Shining fails as horror.
Matthew Nelson
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.
Oliver Allen
>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.
Hudson Foster
holy shit brainlet
Jack Thompson
>5 oscars
Julian Myers
Kubrick is for plebs who feel smart.
Joseph Smith
Who is the true patrician director then?
Adam Clark
That would be Nolan.
Thomas Howard
There are better coen brother movies that deserve 1/10th the attention this does
Jaxson Clark
Nolan, Villenueve etc
You faggot
Aiden Scott
Auteurism is cancer. Every director who has a cult is basically a meme.
Gavin Collins
hahaha fag cant even name someone
Samuel Fisher
Ok, Mizoguchi is pretty good. I'm also fond of Cronenberg.
Kevin Perry
>hasn’t witnessed the masterpiece that is OUATIA
grotesquely plebeian
Nicholas Howard
>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.
Austin Howard
Watched this on a plane a couple a days
this shit won awards? what the fuck? the writing was terrible
Robert Jones
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.
Jaxson Bennett
>The Good the Bad and the Ugly
>North by Northwest
kys
kys
kys
fuck off
correct
fuck off
suck my nut after 8 years of no nut
Dominic Torres
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?
Thomas Evans
I started with Ugetsu and liked it very much.
Hudson Carter
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.
Alexander Reyes
>no u
great reasoning there african-poster!
Oliver Green
>fags using shock, digust and to be edgy
>disgust and shock of their existence renders them a horror show
is this right? is this the conesus?
Brandon Young
>Ugetsu
weebo stuff?
Eli Peterson
yep, just more pretension subtitled shieeet
Logan Ross
>Every Hitchcock movie
Slow, predictable, aged like shit
>Every Tarantino movie
Just copies movies, no original ideas
>The Matrix
Ghost in the shell was better
>Die Hard
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
Gavin Anderson
Cape Fear. total garbage third act
