Re: Most overrated supposed-to-be-smart movie?
Tyler won I suppose. I never really thought about it in those terms. Tyler wanted Norton's character to learn how to live on the edge a little more, and to take some risks in his life. And in the end Norton's character shoots himself, not sure what is going to happen. The "Tyler" part of him died, but he went through the transformation through which Tyler wanted him to go.

What's with all the Eternal Sunshine bashing? I thought it was one of the best films of last year. Cool, unique plot structure, great acting, great dialogue, funny as hell at times...what's not to like?

Just chalk it up to differences of opinion.

Re: Most overrated supposed-to-be-smart movie?
Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels ought to be the most overrated movie ever. Maybe it's not a supposed-to-be-smart movie but it's still a big sac of crap that everyone mistakes for a masterpiece.
Other candidates include: Adaptaion American History X The Gladiator Braveheart How come noone has mentioned Rounders?

Re: Most overrated supposed-to-be-smart movie?
I always heard people say that they thought lock stock was smart and thought-through and whatnot. I missed their point. Admittedly though, it's not very artsy.
And you're totally right about the others, they're just overrated, not supposed-to-be-smart EDIT: I don't think Amelie is supposed-to-be-smart either.
