ASF 279 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Title says it all. Overrated for me are, off the top of my head: One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, The English Patient, The Batman trilogy from Nolan, anything from Quentin Tarantino, No Country for Old Men. Underrated: Dogma, Barton Fink, Mr. Nobody, Her, The Best of Youth, the Apu trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English Patient is only great in the final 45 minutes (very great) and the rest is absolute turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzari 21 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 15 minutes ago, Cure said: Dare I say it. Star Wars. Agreed. Much of the acting is poor, and the narrative is cheesy. Still enjoyable, and ahead of it's time. Just not objectively brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bedroom Window. I accidentally stumbled on it while surfing on YouTube for bad movies, but this one is actually a terrific thriller. A movie that Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of.

Moderator Tommy 12,378 Posted March 15, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok then, here's mine: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116277/ The Fan, from 1996. It's cheesy and often predictable. But it has an awesome soundtrack and great performances by Wesley Snipes and Robert DeNiro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,235 Posted March 15, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have two others in mind as well: Sunset Limited (2011) - Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson discuss the meaning of life in an apartment. Sounds weird and pretentious, it's a great film though. Midnight Run (1988) - an action comedy with Robert de Niro, it's fun and entertaining while not being too silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De niro and Grodin had great chemistry. Remember watching it as a teen, and wanting that belt. @Topic Yankee Zulu. If you like Gods must be Crazy or Stir Crazy, then Yankee Zulu is the movie for you. Cousin Cousine (original French) is another of my favourite. Lovely romantic movie, with a lame Hollywood remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
