The reason why many of these movies are Overrated (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Number=2548814) is the fact that most of them fails at being smart. However, most views don't realise the difference between success and failure, hence the props.
Also, action-movies are rarely supposed-to-be-smart so even if you did like Sin City and thought it was the best action-movie ever made it doesn't fit in this category. Fight Club is an exception to the rule b/c it's labeled as an action movie but at the same time it tries to be smart.
Furthermore, comedies are even less likely to be wannabe-smart. I can't even come up with a single comedy that is, unless you count Garden State to this category - which you shouldn't.
Anyway, my vote is probably Prozac Nation.
Props to twang
