Overrated Movies (or "Why Does Everyone Like Tyler Durden?")

You can't escape them. These are the movies that everyone and their mother's mother has seen, those helped on word of mouth and e-mail and poorly spelled Instant Messenger message. The films quoted by people who, in all probability, have only seen the trailers.

These are the overrated movies.

What would you say are some of yours and which ones can you absolutely not stand?

As a means of instigating, I will merely state one title:

Napoleon Dynamite.

Did you actually "get" Fight Club?



*edit*
In my opinion the most overrated movie would have to be The Blair Witch Project, I heard so much hype about this movie "scariest ever lolz" but when i went to see it I was severely disappointed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The problem with this thread is that there are no overrated movies, only movies that people THINK are overrated. Thus arguing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Who's rated my opinion higher than it's deserved? :O

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ebert & Roper are overrated.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I only said it because it seemed to be the most obvious comeback ^_^, I dont actually know who those guys are, they mustn't be big over here.

I was speaking idiomatically.
