This is a list of the most overrated movies. Agree? Why? If not, go to ListAfterList and move the ones you think are overrated up, and the ones you think are underrated down.
| 1. | Titanic - it so long for a movie where we already know what happened |
| 2. | An Inconvinient Truth - Michael Moore made documentaries the new "cool" thing in Hollywood and this movie road its coattails |
| 3. | Shakespeare in Love - good movie, not Oscar worthy with that year's lineup (Saving Private Ryan) |
| 4. | Spiderman 3 - what in the world was that scene where Peter Parker is walking down the street with his hair slicked down dancing and giving every woman the wink-and-the-gun? and then the dancing in the Jazz club? wow... |
| 5. | The DaVinci Code - the book caused the craze and the film killed it |
| 6. | Mission Impossible - what even happened? I've watched it twice |
| 7. | Batman - I thought he was supposed to be a kick-ass hero, not a sarcastic joker (that is his enemy) |
| 8. | Dreamgirls - a female version of "Ray" (talk about riding coattails) |
| 9. | American Beauty - once again, what even happened? |
| 10. | Top Gun - there is a reason no other "flyboy" movie has worked since then |
| 11. | Magnolia - did anyone even see this movie? It should be higher except it didn't receive THAT much hype |
| 12. | The Big Lebowski - why does everyone think this is so funny? is it because it's cool to be different? |
| 13. | Brokeback Mountain - I do not understand! The only reason anyone would ever tell people to see this is if they want to see two guys who are movie stars make-out etc. Terrible movie! |
| 14. | Lost in Translation - soooo sllooooooowwwwww |
| 15. | My Big Fat Greek Wedding - all the hype was unworthy |
| 16. | Pirates of the Caribean 2 - basically a transition between the beginning and end. It was a filler-movie. |
| 17. | Monster's Ball - unless you want to see Halle Berry naked (who doesn't?) there is no other reason to see this film |
