The majority of comments here prove most people are either unwilling to look deeper into a film , are plain stupid , or are just attempting to not conform to popular opinion just for the sake of it. I mean its fine if you didnt like a popular film , but then you have people say :

"Chinatown – I wanted to kill myself."
"The Godfather, it's like a bad made for tv movie."
"Taxi Driver. Wow, was that overrated."

I rest my case

Citizen Kane is by far the most over rated movie. The plot drags on and on and the "moral" of the story is predictable. The only reason I watched the entire movie was to find out what or who "rosebud" was.

Out of Africa is pretty terrible too. Not sure why the whole hair washing thing is considered so romantic by so many women. But hey, to each her own.

I also think Monty Python and the Holy Grail is tedious to watch. Hearing people quote is hilarious to me but the actual movie put me to sleep. Go figure.

I saw 2001 at my HS movie night in 1977…I might have understood it better if I was stoned like half the audience.

Glengarry Glen Ross…after the sales meeting in the first 5 minutes, this movie dissolves into the a soul-sucking display of cinematic misery. Could life possibly be more depressing? The reason they never show this movie on television is because suicide rates go up whenever its aired.

Citizen Kane…its “greatness” truly eludes me. I know that every “expert” list includes Kane in their top 10, usually top 1-5, but I don’t get it.

Titanic…I remember a T-shirt of the time “The ship sinks; Leo dies. Get over it!”

2001 is a movie to be experienced, not watched. You either get it, or you don’t. It was designed to make mankind look inward and reflect on the symbiosis of man and machine. Being “unlocked” in your consciousness along with a peaceful, quiet environment helps immensely. Watching 2001 with your buddies drinking beer is a guaranteed flop. This is a solo voyage in my opinion.

Out of Africa — I hated this movie. Like watching paint dry while listening to someone scrape their nails on a blackboard.

So American Beauty did have competition for the worst best picture.

When hospitalized for a week, I got so bored I wrote down my favorite one hundred movies on a legal pad.
Anything not on that list is subject to a smell test.

I consider myself well-educated, but after reading this list, I’d understand if you didn’t believe me. Here goes my list of movies I think are unimaginably overrated:

1) Moonstruck
Oh gawd. Oh please dear gawd. Shut off the damn projector.

2) Citizen Kane
A Sled. An f’ing sled.

3) Mallrats/Dogma/Anything by Kevin Smith
Humorless black holes, these Smith flicks. Yeah, it’s my generation. And for that, I’m sorry.

4) Out of Africa
Took a date to this when I was 17. The move lasted longer than our relationship.

5) “Harry Potter and the X of Y”
The most unwatchable movie franchise in the history of our solar system. I truly just don’t get how anyone can spend time staring at this collection of images and sounds so utterly pointless and boring. Christian Fundamentalists have nothing to fear from the impressions these crappers may have on children, other than possibly driving them to seek refuge in booze.

I love Scorsese. I love “Raging Bull”. But it is vastly overrated. Though visually quite stunning, it only manages to hit one dramatic note. Over and over again. Everyone calls it the best movie of the 80s, but I have yet to hear a cogent reason why, aside from the fact that the 80s set the bar pretty low.

Aside from the monkey sequence, “2001″ has always been on my most hated list. Slow, boring, and, I think, intentionally meaningless.

Because I don’t waste time hating movies with no artistic ambition (reall,y what’s the point of hating Adam Sandler. That’s like hating children’s books), other films from my most hated list include “The Wild Bunch,” “Apocalypse Now,” and anything by Oliver Stone. I also can’t figure out the appeal of “The Searchers”.

I am pretty sure they are showing “A Clockwork Orange” on a continuous loop in hell.

Agree with Blake (above me). Napoleon Dynamite was utter rubbish.

I am gonna say it here: Casablanca… eh. Nicole Kidman a good actress? Not so much. Kevin Costner and Keanu Reeves play the same character in every film they have been in. Themselves.

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. I am done.

Napolean Dynamite is the biggest waste of time out there, yet people talk about it like is comedic gold. It isn’t even iron pyrite.
