Movies considered to be the greatest but are very overrated?

Anything with Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler

My Ten Most Over Rated Movies

The Shawshank Redemption

nice movie, but a classic? One of the best of its genre ever? The movie was both simple and contained ciches.

No Country For Old Men

Guy finds drug money. Drug Lords want drug money. Drug Lords send assasin to retrive drug money. Assasin kills anyone who crosses his path. Wow...that's a complex story line.

Silence of the Lambs

Oscar, Oscar, Oscar and Oscar for a movie littered with plot holes and an annoying performance by Jodie Foster

Independence Day

A supposed sci fi/action classic that was done better with Bugs Bunny and Marty the Martian

Avatar

Great special effects, but I liked it better when it was "Dances With Wolves" and minus the hocus pocus.

The Help

The Chessiest movie I may have ever seen.

Far and Away

Lucky the Leprachaun on those Lucky Charm commercials had a more believable Irish accent than Tom Cruise did.

Ben Hur

It took in all the money and won all the Oscars in 1959, but can you make it all the way through without getting restless?

2001: A Space Odyssey

Because of its alleged greatness, I have tried several times to re-visit this movie. It bores me stiff each time.

Gigi

MGM long considered this their flagship musical, from the studio that made the best musicals. It won 9 Academy Awards. Do you know anyone who likes it? Or who cares?

Everything from James Cameron, especially avatar probably the most overrated film of all time

Most spielberg, lucas films

Indiana Jones, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Star Wars, Schindler's List

Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, alot of academy award winning best pictures

Shawshank Redemption (i prefer the family guy version)

The shining

Avatar

The Avengers (not a bad movie, but it's definitely not the greatest of all time)

Twilight

Transformers

The Avengers

Avatar

Transformers

Harry Potter (Seriously the movies sucked when compared to the books)

That's all I can think of now...

I liked "Avatar" but I don't believe that it was something classic, I think it was great for the moment that it came out. I mean, it's very creative but it's not something that you can really fall in love with as a film. It was all about the visuals with that movie. It just lacked something really magical, I guess.

I consider Seven Samurai overrated but that's just me. I also don't like Hugo, Wall-e, Bad Santa and any Will Ferrel movie.

Any James Cameron movie I highly do not like his movies though

Hugo

Avatar or Pulp Fiction. Seriously, pulp fiction is wayyy too overrated

Avatar, Wall-e, and i actually found The Kings Speech pretty boring.
