Spinoff: Most Overrated Movies in History

[GypsySorcerer]

The English Patient

Shakespeare in Love (I know, everyone loves it)

Titanic (I do think it is an excellent film, but it was crammed way too far down my throat)

My Fair Lady (I can't stand Rex Harrison in this)

[Lala]

Grease

It's a great movie...but wasn't it named like the best movie musical of all time or something??? It was up there at least...and I've definitely seen better.

[Lala]

Oh and The Lion King

Great Disney movie...but people just seemed to go nuts over it. Making a cheesy sequel and this new Lion King 1 and 1/2 just ruin it. I much prefer The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and others.

Titanic (laughably bad)
Cold Mountain (ugh)
Casablanca (sorry, I've seen much better)
The Outsiders (I despise this flick AND the book)
The Lion King (thought it was rather dull)

LOL!! Makes me think of Elaine and her absolute HATRED of it!!

I hate Grease, because John Travolta is bleck, but in all it's glorious cheesiness, I love Grease 2. I like Michelle and when he was hot...Maxwell Caulfield!!

Don't Say a Word with Michael Douglas with Brittney Murphy...I was excited about seeing this, but WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!!

Get your eggs and tomatoes ready to hit me. My top choices:

It's a Wonderful Life

Wizard of Oz

- Jake (ducking)

I agree with It's a Wonderful Life....I've seen it once and never again...zzzzzz...

My fave Christmas movie is A Christmas Story, which has me laughing, even tho I can friggin QUOTE the movie. LOL

Wizard of Oz...I can't agree with...I still love it, and it's another movie I can quote.

Casablanca. This never tourched my soul like GWTW did..trully the best movie ever made.

Titanic. So impressive I have seen it...zero times. NO interest!!!

I don't know...so many movies get touted as so great and later I see them and I'm like...huh? I like movies that are small and simple..lovely and intellegent and I guess it doesn't matter if it doesn't get one award or doesn't get the 200 million mark..I just want something to touch me. So many movies that are so HUGE just don't anymore!

I love It's a Wonderful Life. When Harry toasts, "To my brother...the richest man in town," the tears begin. IAWL is the only movie guaranteed to make me cry every single time I watch it.

[wondergirl9847]

I've never seen Casablanca or GWTW...don't have any interest in those.

I'm a freak, as my favorite movie is a cartoon, Toy Story. LOL

I've never really been touched by a movie like I am with music. I DID, however cry when I saw Deep Impact when the astronauts were telling their loved one's goodbye. I lost it, seriously, in the theater. LOL I've never cried so hard at a movie in my LIFE!! I saw that one before Armaggedon, but they are the same premise.

I like comedies mostly and then action/adventure flicks. I like those overblown "guy" movies like Con Air and Die Hard.

Titanic is one of the worst movies ever.

That is all.

[DeeGeMe]

The English Patient--I wanted them to hurry up and all die--and put me out of my misery.

Dirty Dancing---the less said, the better about this one.

Ghost--See a trend here with Patrick Swazye movies?

The Wizard of Oz--those flying monkeys traumatized me as a child.

[Lala]

You're all going to hate me but...

The Lord of the Rings

Now...I haven't seen the third instalment but I watched the first two, one after the other. I kept falling asleep and when I woke up they seemed to have the same problem.

I agree with LOTR. Total snorefest, at least for me.

And a lot of the recent Best Picture Oscar winners just bored me to death. (Titanic, English Patient, Gladiator, Chicago).

[DrummerDeanna]

I agree with Grease, I like the film but it's not like the best thing ever, it's actually quiet cheesy!

Finding Nemo (it was cute, but come on...it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen...as everyone kept telling me it would be)

The Matrix...all of them

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
