Most Overrated Movies of All Time

Which movies do you find extremely overrated by everyone?

Note: This does not mean the films are bad, just that they are overrated.

Quickly from the top of my head for me it's The Star Wars movies, Se7en and Pulp Fiction. I'm not saying these were bad or mediocre films, I find them overrated in the fact that many people will hail them as some of the best films of all time, and such, which honestly imo they aren't.

What films do you find highly overrated?

At best it was alright.

Your reply has already got my blood boiling! HOW! But that's the point of the thread, it will get very interesting

Transformers, it was good but not as amazing as I expected it would be after all the hype.

Hurt locker is one that I think is totally over rated!

Have to 100% disagree there

Considering their budget ($11 million) and they still managed to win the best picture Oscar over Avatar($230 million) is pretty impressive!

Oscars are not given on the merit of the film.

The Hurt locker won so many Oscars because it was Camerons ex wife directing and Cameron currently had the highest grossing film of all time again and they were buggered if they were going to give any recognition to him for making a CGI film about 9 foot cartoon cat people the biggest fim ever.
It was an up yours from the Oscar judges to Cameron that is all.

It was a great film also imo.
