Muhahaha
I'm shocked it finished that high. Didn't see it on too many people's lists. But yeah, it may very well be the most overrated movie of all time.

Tough call, not because I can't think of one, but because I'm having a hard time narrowing down the list.

I don't want to fill up the rest of this thread. But I'll go with : Forrest Gump, Dances With Wolves, Saving Private Ryan (that's right, I said it). From the 70's, I think Taxi Driver is over rated.
Look, i get people don't like Woody Allen and maybe stuff like Annie Hall doesn't age as well or translate to new audiences. To me it really captures the 70's pretty well.

Most overrated movies of all time: generally, things directed by Scorsese, Coppola, and Spielberg. I say this not because I don't like their movies, but because for many people they are the only really excellent movies they've ever seen.
It's a shame that Picnic at Hanging Rock isn't in the top 50. I may have forgotten to put it on my list though.

Taxi Driver not in the Top 10, that's a shocker. Not surprising is that once again my #1 movie failed to list.
Oh and I did finally get around to watching Aguirre this weekend btw.

Totally agree on Scarface. But Fellini? Have you seen la strada or nights of cabiria?

Oh, I intensely dislike Annie Hall. I openly hate the film. But Woody Allen has fallen out of favor outside of the NYC crowd. He has his adherents, but I think the tide is turning on Woody, as more and more people are calling him out for his self-indulgent films.
And Scarface is probably the worst movie that people think is good. And I love dePalma, but man, the movie is a total mess.

I see it as a guilty pleasure. I don't think its incredible filmmaking, but its fun and harmless, and has alot of memorable scenes. It may be overrated, but I still enjoy it.

It's harsh, but I hate this guy. My thing too is that his movies are some of the only instances that I honestly do not get why people love them. I also don't use the word pretentious much, unless I'm talking about Starbucks, but 8 1/2 is legitametly pretentious. Give me a break dude, get over yourself, nobody cares about your so called issues that you would think the world was ending according to you. Especially coming from somebody that has had two major brain surgeries and back surgery.

I never gave a list because I have a limited repertoire once you leave the 80's. I kind of wish I would have just sucked it up though.
Yeah even if it was only 10-15, you might as well even have made one. This list was surprisingly easy. Apparently I've seen a lot more movies from the 60's than I have the 70's. I think I can say now that my least favorite post 1940 era, is the 70's. Outside my top 6-7, this decade isn't all that deep, for me at least.
