Your Top 5 Over and Underrated Films

Overrated:
- American Beauty - Aged badly
- Any Lord of the Rings - Boring
- Avatar- Only time I've ever left the flicks midway through
-The Hunger Games- Shit
- The Breakfast Club- Don't get why its so highly rated

Underrated:
Boogie Nights- Class unfortunate to be released same weekend as Titanic
Cape Feare- De Niro at his best
Open Water- Doesn't get recognition it deserves
The Sting- Classic
Ferris Buellers Day Off- Aged very well and a much better film than people originally gave credit for
 


I don’t think Avatar was ever rated for its storyline, might be wrong but wasn’t it more about the CGI being groundbreaking?

Find most things by Tarantino to be no where near as good as what’s made out.
Avatar was basically Dances With Wolves in space.

Pulp Fiction is the only Tarantino-directed film I've really liked.

Loved True Romance for which he did the screenplay, though.
 
Pulp Fiction without a doubt the most disappointing, baffling, pap film I`ve ever seen. Maybe having a bunch of students revealing the plot 10 seconds before anything happened and guffawing constantly didn`t help.

Ferris Bueller underrated? I thought everyone liked it.
 
The Sting won a few Oscars so I'm not sure it was underrated at the time. I actually watched it a few months back and found it a bit tedious and drawn out.

Hugely overrated for me - Titanic, Forrest Gump, Dances with Wolves, Birdman.

Underrated films - Beginners, Bright Star, Beast, After Hours, Shallow Grave.

I'm not convinced that Vertigo is considered as underrated. It regularly comes out as number one or two in lists of top Hitchcock films. Not my favourite Hitch, however.

I don’t agree. I think it’s that good of a film it’s surprising how many people haven’t seen it. What is your favourite out of interest? Don’t think I could pick between rear window, nbnw or vertigo.

Vertigo is rated the best film ever. You think it is even better?

Best film ever is underrated. Apparently.
