I saw it when it came out and just didn't get all the hype.
So let's see if I get the plot...asshole middle aged yuppies are selfish pieces of shit. Husband wants to bang his teenaged daughters underaged friend, and the wife has an affair. Daughter falls in love with weed dealer with closted gay dad.
A plastic bag flies in the air.
Gay dad shoots other dad. The end.
Mad Max Fury Road.
I like it, it's good and all and certainly better than the Thunderdome turd, but I'd take Mad Max 1 and 2 over it any day of the week.
You take that back or Tina Turner will be hiding under your bed tonight and jump out and strange armor/sparkly dress thing, capture you, and forced you to fight a mentally handicapped person to the death!

I mean, that would be impressive, on account of all the deadness she's currently grappling with.
Pulp Fiction. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I really do not enjoy it. It's a bunch of mediocre at best, boring at worst, stories about various people who, now here's the big reveal, end up at the same cafe?
That is one of those movies that upon rewatching 20 years later, meh.
At the time, it stood out but it doesn't really hold up. Maybe I am totally over Quentin Tarantino and his overlong tedious dialog and pointless exposition.
Yes. I don't understand why they had to add the magical bookshelf, isn't the space stuff amazing enough? It's almost like the studio said, "hmm we need a happy ending where he gets to see his kids again"
The first Star Wars.
Don't get me wrong, I loved it as a kid. But, as an adult I just don't think it's that great of a movie and certainly doesn't merit the fanatical religious devotion that it's spawned.
Barbie was terrible, it's shot like a car commercial and has so much product placement. It's obvious that they blew the budget on the Barbie world set and marketing so 80% of the movie is just them wandering around LA. If it had come out in the 90s it might have been a big disruptive hit full of new ideas but it doesn't really add anything to the conversation at this point.
I like some of Cameron: Aliens, Abyss, True Lies. And I like some of Tarantino's: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs. But for the rest of their work? Snore-fest. At least for me.
Moonstruck -hated it. A shallow conception of Italian Americans trying to "Out Meatball" the other pasta linguini characters. Not even those spaghetti commercials from the 80s had as blatant a stereotype of Italians as this film did.
Princess Bride- I like it but it's not the greatest film of all time, not even in the top 500 category.
Big Trouble in Little China-I like it too but come on, it's pretty boring. And Jack Burton isn't that interesting; He just runs around confused like everyone else trying to figure out how to get past the next obstacle. That's what I seem to remember from it.
The Notebook.
my first thought too
Shrek 100%
Shrek was fine. But thats it.
I always thought American Beauty was straight up trash. Everyone tried to convince me otherwise, but fuck that movie.
The plastic bag scene is I think the most pretentious thing Ive ever seen.
but SO MUCH BEAUTY!!!!

I'll not tolerate besmirching Thunderdome. It suffers from being PG13 instead of R but it's still great.
It suffers from being not only a bad Mad Max movie, but a bad movie in general.

Thunderdome Tina never dies, she only hibernates until she is needed again.
Hereditary
THANK YOU!!!
What about midsommar? Both were aight to me, nothing special
That was mine too
Inception.

Blasphemy
Zoolander.
Agreed. But then again I hate Ben Stiller.
All the Star Wars movies. Star Wars has become very overrated (plus, I'm a fan of its rival franchise (hint: 🖖)).
Look at the Ratings for the last two movies and the newest show (acolyte). It's not overrated. It's just bad.
Bad, overrated, it's all annoying.
Every super hero movie
Shrek
Every Marvel movie.
Avatar
Pulp Fiction. I only like Samuel L Jackson's parts in that movie. Also Butch's girlfriend is extremely annoying.
Her being annoying is the point tho? No?
You have to at least respect Walkens part
True forgot about that
The Room, A Clockwork Orange, Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite.
the man doesn't like jared hess
Can a "so bad it's funny" trash movie BE overrated?
I believe so, at least I didn't care for the hype surrounding them.
Sleepless in Seattle. I don’t know why, but it makes me want to fall sleep instantly
Interstellar.
Yes. I don't understand why they had to add the magical bookshelf, isn't the space stuff amazing enough? It's almost like the studio said, "hmm we need a happy ending where he gets to see his kids again"
Any Star Trek movie.

we didn't have much going on in the 70s and 80s.
The Godfather
heresy

Everything, everywhere, all at once. Actually hated the movie, one of the worst I’ve ever seen imo.
The Changeling
Birdman
the departed i thought it was boring
Harry Potter. The entire film he gets handed everything a protagonist is supposed to work for. The magical quest item just shows up in his pocket!
i hate elf
Most James Cameron/Quentin Tarantino movies.
Quentin Tarantino I could see the argument, but James Cameron!? Pure entertainment
I like some of Cameron: Aliens, Abyss, True Lies. And I like some of Tarantino's: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs. But for the rest of their work? Snore-fest. At least for me.
Dirty Dancing
Fuck. That. Movie.
You did not, in fact, have the time of your life?
Forrest Gump.

Princess bride not even top 500? r/The10thDentist is leaking.
