I actually liked all the movies above, minus juno. I just think they are way overrated.
AKA "movies that I like, but shouldn't be on the IMDB 250"
I'll think of more, don't you worry.  |

No Country I refrained from putting, because truthfully I didn't understand it completely. That's not the movies fault but my own.
Matrix I'll never see since I already know I'll think it's overrated. |

it doesn't really work for me. i mean it's sort of entertaining. Zemeckis is no dummy behind the camera. i just don't like what the movie has to say really.

I agree with that. Visually, the effects were great; the movie as a whole, weak.

| Dark Knight is not overrated...I think it deserves all the hype. One of the best movies ever (not saying its the best, but definitely up there). |

Meh, there are many people who are willing to make some of the better films of the 90s into their "gutsy" picks. American Beauty gets lambasted in a similar vain. Private Ryan as well -- Spielberg's style drives a lot of people up a wall, doesn't mean he's not a top notch filmmaker.
If PF and GF are overrated, I wanna see the NOT overrated films of late. We're swimming in a pool of romantic comedies, CGI fantasyscapes, superhero remakes, and coming of age teen flicks that make the 80s variety look poignant by comparison.

Look here's the thing with me. I don't find many movies overrated because I DONT SEE MOVIES I DONT LIKE If you have seen 300 and think it is overrated, you have no right to complain!

It definitely was good, but I think it's ridiculous to think it's at the top. I'm not a fan of the genre though. |

I like these films and I think they are good, I just think they aren't classics like some people say.
And yes I agree there are a lot of garbage movies being made these days.

Titanic is the most overrated piece of crap in history. It's not even crap. It's diarrhea.
