Recent highlights of this example:
Crash
Million Dollar Baby
A Beautiful Mind
TITANIC (lord how I hated this movie)
The English Patient
Il Postino

I could go on and on

Those three movies sucked so hard I couldn't believe I was watching the same film as the critics.

Million Dollar Baby was a good movie, what was your problem with it?
 
Most of the M Night Shamalanadingdong movies. I liked Unbreakable, I'd give it a 6/10.
Otherwise, I thought Signs and 6th Sense were absolutely retarded. Like, worse than Robocop 2. Haven't seen any of his others, and don't plan to.
 
The Descent.... Netflix critic sections have a crap load of 5 stars. I wouldn't give it one.

"Instant cult classic..." my ass

Best Movie Ever. It was so terribly innovative and imaginative for it's time. That is what makes it such a great movie. It revolutionized filmmaking.

As much as the movie itself did nothing for me entertainment-wise, you're right.

There will be Blood has to be the most overrated movie of this decade followed by No Country for Old Men.

I havn't seen the former but i agree with you that Old Country For Old Men was wayyyy overrated.

 
Reservoir Dogs:
If it wasn't for that filthy torture seen that movie wouldn't even be on the radar.
Also, I was unable to finish watching 2001. So I don't know if it overrated or not.

2001 is rather slow, but considering when it was made and the Special Effects and cinematoraphy achieved it is quite impressive. I also think the story itself makes it a great movie.

There Will Be Blood. I watched 10-15 painful minutes of it. IM'd a buddy about how much it sucked, got warned not to watch more; that it didnt' get any better. I took his word for it. Honestly, unless the 15+ minute text of this movie is "Lol sorry, we were just kidding. It doesn't actually suck this much dick", it's T--H--E most overrated movie of all time.


Least overrated: American Beauty. Easily the #1 alltime, yet it's slipping to almost #40 and below on IMDB. WTH?

You don't get the privilege of declaring a movie overrated until you watch the whole thing.
