Most overrated supposed-to-be-smart movie?

[DontRaisePlz]

Anything by the Coen brothers. All of their films, especially the older ones, get high ratings on IMDB.

I've seen The Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona and they're both boring as hell. Fargo was amusing in a sick kind of way.

I also think Lost in Translation was overrated.

Oh, please.

Anyone who thinks Eternal Sunshine is profound (and I understand that you didn't actually say it's profound, so this doesn't necessarily mean you) doesn't do enough thinking on their own time.

Much of this movie comes from what I call the "Look at Me, I'm Directing" school of directing. Overdone. Trying too hard.

But, that's what makes the world go around. All I know is that I disliked it so much it made me revisit Malkovich and Adaptation, two movies I liked, and once I did I didn't like them anymore, either.

Supposedly people thought this movie was great in the 60's...but they were wrong.

The whole time I was watching the movie I wanted to smack Dustin Hoffman upside the head.

How much did you sell your sense of humor for? I'm interested in buying one and I'd like to know the going rate.

Anyone that said Eternal Sunshine should never be allowed to voice their opinion of movies again.

Ghost World by a landslide.

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.

I think Amelie is the very definition of this genre. We must be on totally different pages.
