My pick: The Silence of the Lambs

Literally never got the hype, it's an aggressively mid movie. Not scary. No deeper message. Just a snoozefest of a movie.

Bonus Pick: The Godfather

Although I did like the movie, I didn't think it was top tier like its commonly placed. There's a ton of pro-AmeriKKKan propaganda and undertones in it as well.

Bonus bonus pick: The Matrix

I can see why people enjoyed it, the themes are interesting first time around. I just found the action scenes and Keanu Reeves character incredibly cringy. Kind of ruined it for me.

Alright Hexbear what are the most overrated movies in your opinion? Feel free to call me an uncultured pleb in the comments too.

The only good thing about Animal House is how it inspired one of the funniest scenes in Star Trek TNG.

Dune is an offence to the media. The only movie that put me to sleep in 3 seperate attempts to honestly watch it. With the 1st being the in theater with the mindset of "ok what's all this hype about?" And I liked the new Bladr Runner this director has chops. No I wasn't expecting Star Wars but....something of a universe.

Devoid of charecter, life, color, a universe that seemed lived in. Empty sets. Horrific acting on a scale that makes anakin-padme-1 seem like an oscar winning dramatic performance.

Overhyped by nerd cultists, Zendelamain ogglers (which I also didn't care for) and paper sadists that get off on page count over all else.

On top of all the emptiness and lack of life and empty set pieces and any sense of immersiveness like they forgot to hire prop people, the blasted thing gets awards for cinematography? I submitted a picture of actual dried paint and people took it seriously as art of the film. What the Nobel prize is this?

The Matrix

Isn't that the movie about a guy who takes a red pill and becomes a men's rights activist

I'd go with The Godfather as well, I'm more of a Casino guy I guess.

Silence of the Lambs and Matrix are both good though.

When Harry Met Sally is garbage. The entire concept of that movie is that men and women can't be friends without wanting to have sex.

2001: A Space Odyssey.

It's Absolutely Incredible in a lot of ways, but is incredibly disjointed. I don't even mind the length or slow pacing, but I can't excuse how the 2nd act has little thematic connection with anything else in the movie. And the psychedelic 3rd act is just bad. It's a good example of how a movie can be Great, but not Good.
