Shawshank Redemption
It's great, but I wouldn't place it as the best film ever to have existed.

I agree with some of the above - Avatar, Anchorman, Taken - but some of the other films mentioned really are brilliant.

There is no one best film. The question is wrong, not the answer.
Now this is the definition of over rated.
I don't get why people rave about it either. It was unrealistic, weird and didn't make that much sense or have much of a point.
There are too many people in this thread confusing "I don't like this movie" with "over rated".

Explain how that's any different to you not liking "Taken"?

I saw it when it came out at the cinema. Only went to see it because we were bored.
We came out stunned.
Show me where I said that I didn't like it.

Saving Private Ryan (brilliant opening but the rest of the movie was just a bunch of guys trying to find someone, prefer The Thin Red Line over this)
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the first Austin Powers was a perfect bond spoof, this is just mostly sex/dick jokes)

Inglorious Basters - was alright but hardly anything amazing. I was actually bored in places. I just didn't get some of the typical Tarantino randomness/tying to be abstract or whatever.
The Expendables - people try to justify it as being 'switch your brain off' cheese but it wasn't even good cheese! I understand some films can be bad but at the same time they can be worth a watch, I mean the last Rambo film was what I'd call a 'switch your brain off' action film where the story line is pretty basic but the Expendables was just terrible.
Totally agree! I have no idea what all the fuss is about? It's not a bad film but it was hardly anything special. It was unnecessarily long as well, I was waiting for it to finish.
Yeah, I didn't find it that great, I thought The Green Mile was better.

Agree, Ledger was good in it but sorry it is nowhere near as good as Jack Nicholson. IMO
I would have to say Inception. I've watched it about 4 times (I say about, I saw it 2 and a bit times when going to the States last year on the plane) as I was trying to work out what people saw in it.
Ultimately although I completely 'got it' I just didn't 'get why' they bothered.
Close runners up in my mind would be Matrix 3 and Snakes on a Plane. Utter piles of rubbish. Avatar would finish off my top five.

Drive is a good indicator to gauge if you have a good taste in movies or not, therefore you havent
