Default Most Overrated Films of All Time?

In an effort to avoid having to change the name of this forum to "Terrorism Today," or "Zionism--Right or Wrong?," I thought something a little more innocuous might be in order. So let's try this:

I was being utterly and absolutely lazy this past Saturday. I had the remote control in my hand, and happened across an Academy Award-Winning Masterpiece on AMC or TCM or wherever. This film is called Marty.

I recalled that John Turturro's character in Quiz Show makes mention of the brilliance of this celluloid gem.

So I says to myself "Self, let us endeavor to investigate the source of these accolades."

I would have preferred to scrape the enamel off of my teeth with freezing cold razor blades.

So, I ask: What other purportedly "great" films are actually from the Emperor's New Clothes School of Cinematic Gorgeousness and Grandeurosity?

You know what I mean.

I put in additional votes for Driving Miss Daisy, Out of Africa, and Life Is Beautiful.
