I was high and in amsterdam at the time so that could have def influenced my pleasant experience.

Re: Most overrated movies of all time?
Everyone keeps saying Heat. Heat was always considered to be a disappointment, and is therefore not overrated.

[ QUOTE ] people who are saying that shawshank is overrated, can you tell me five movies you think are better from the past ~20 years. [/ QUOTE ] ??? I don't even think Shawshank is overrated and could easily name 5. Pulp Fiction Fargo O Brother, Where Art Thou? Full Metal Jacket Heat [/ QUOTE ] O Brother, Where Art Thou? Joke? Fargo? Good plot, cant stand to watch it though.. the upper mid-western accent makes me want to shoot myself. So does Francis McDormand.. annoying bitch. Pulp Fiction is good but is one of those movies that people say they love just cause everyone else says they love it. Full Metal Jacket is a very good movie. Never seen Heat. But those other movies are definitely not as good as the Shawshank Redemption.

Re: Most overrated movies of all time?
I found the plot lines, dialouge, music, style, pacing of Graduate and Cowboy to be very amaturish. Although, Hoffman's acting is very good in both movies.
It seems that these films expressed things other films werent willing to express, but that doesnt change the fact that way they were experienced was somewhat comical. I read the director of Graduate became obsessed with Simon and Garfunkel while making the movie, so he just stuck a bunch of their songs into the movie, he played Sound of Silence from beginning to end TWICE in the first half of the movie. The music wasa out of place and didnt fit the movie. This seems like what you would get from a couple of high schoolers who write down a list of songs they like and than place them in their movie. If you read the Catcher in the Rye, you feel like he could have been born in 1985. There are plenty of books and films which do not lose their might over time. Just because these movies were great than, does not mean they are great now.
