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

I've never seen Pulp Fiction...

I thought Fight Club was pretty good. I had never really heard much hype before seeing it.

I would hardly qualify Napoleon Dynamite as overrated, my affinity for the film notwithstanding; only about half the people I know have seen it, and maybe half of those who saw it actually enjoyed it. I thought it was one of the most utterly hilarious movies ever.

I definitely enjoyed Lost in Translation.

Now, I'm gonna be torn apart for this one...A CLOCKWORK ORANGE IS OVERRATED! And while I'm going there, 2001 bored me to tears.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why do people insist on doing this? I'm not surprised, as this type of respond is typical of fans of an overrated film, but it just doesn't seem like your place to question my intelligence. Ask any teacher I've ever had, I've always been the top analytical mind in my class, whatever the subject. I never said the movie was bad or poorly done (though I'm not saying that it wasn't); all I said was that it's overrated.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
