Most Overrated and Underrated Non Horror Films

[Oxley]

There is horror ones, so thought I'd just do a general one. Just merge it if you think it's pointless.

These threads always start interesting debate though, I'll start the ol' ball rolling.

Overrated:
Fight Club - Seriously hated this movie. And I mean hated. Meatloaf with titties was pre fine though.

Yeah, that's right, it's bong water of the cinema World.


Underrated:
Pumpkinhead

Good idea, Ox!

Fight Club: Disagree.

Pumpkinhead: Agree.

Overrated: Rosemarry's baby. I've been asking my friends about this one, and I'm getting pretty much the same response. I have a feeling tho, the movie is given such high praise because its considered a "classic". I just don't get it

Agreed. I also like Saw 2 somewhat. 3 was not all that, and everything else is ass.

Underrated: Thir13en Ghosts

Agreed!

I'm surprised by all the Fight Club hate. Personally, I loved the book it's one of the only books I've read multiple times and I thought the movie was a solid adaption.

Too many horror flicks to choose from

I saw it it two years ago, and after hearing all the hype I was just very let down. I found it's 'twist' ending to be pretty predictable if you're paying attention, so it just felt very boring and lacklustre.

This is so much full of fail it isn't funny.

I watch plenty of movie's (and love) that are considered "great" by all.

Go suck a fat one.

As for Fight Club I like the movie but it does get way more praise than it needs to. It's a solid flick but not worthy of worship.
