Most overrated films...

[snyprrr]

Сталкер [Stalker] - boring & pretentious like most of Tarkovsky's work

Last Tango in Paris (worst movie I recall ever watching)

[Scarpia]

Add Superbad to the list, which I just finished watching. Complete trash.

To be overrated a film has to be highly rated to begin with.

You mean you weren't moved by that touching line, "where's the butter?"   

[offbeat]

The usual suspects - lost interest after five minutes
Raiders of the lost arc - and all the sequels -mindless action films with little to recommend
Star Wars - took my kids to see this and i hated it and they loved it

No, didn't do anything for me.  I prefer a product named Premium Intimacy Glide; it's as good as it sounds.

TMI!

Films are overrated. I prefer books.

Me too, as long as there's some handy lubrication to change the pages.

What can we expect from someone who would listen to Bach organ music on a pedal harpsichord?

You just don't know what Lucas' and Spielberg's movies are about. They are brilliant entertainment, popcorn movies if you will.

In some ways yeah, but they don't (or didn't) know when to stop. The first Star Wars was great, likewise with the first Indiana Jones. They should have stopped at a far earlier stage though; just like The Rolling Stones.

Why stop when you have something great going on? The Empire Strikes Back is generally considered better than A New Hope.

Yes, I agree with that. That's the best movie. I could do without the rest of them.

I couldn't...Star Wars is my life.

[Bulldog]

I couldn't...Star Wars is my life.

I hope you're just kidding.

Do you read the fiction?

[71 dB]

I hope you're just kidding.

Why? Movies are supposed to be memorable experiences that enrich our lifes. Ever heard of the phrase "larger than life film"?

Do you read the fiction?

I read many science fiction books as a teenager if that's what you mean.

No, I meant the franchise tie-in novels. It seems there's a new one out each month.

Sure, but it's still just movie fiction.  Going a step further, I can't imagine Star Wars enriching anyone's life, never mind feeling that "Star Wars is my life".  Isn't your family more important to you than a movie series?

Yes. Seriously; can any entertainment be more important than life? In case it is you have some serious issues going on in your existence.
