Oh God... I had to click the X in the upper right-hand corner before I even scrolled past #25.

This will not end well.

This one…this one is simply a chore to get through. It’s kind of all over the place, frenetic, and builds to a point where you honestly just want it to end so you can watch “The Hangover” for the fiftieth time.


Not surprising.

I actually agree with all of those

I'm surprised they didn't include Citizen Kane, which seems to be a fixture on these sorts of lists nowadays

I defniitely agree with The Usual Suspect. I saw it for the first time recently, and walked away very disappointed after hearing so many good things about it.

The only one I think they're off their rocker on is No Country.

I'd say they are wrong about Blade Runner, Amadeus, No Country for Old Men, The Usual Suspects, & 2001.


I do like Fargo but yeah it's overrated in the sense that it's not even in my top 3 Coen Bros movies of the 90s.

Dead on with about 10 of them, especially Scarface.

But 2001? Has he ever watched it stoned? It's not even a movie, it's an experience.

Almost every negation can be summed up as, "Too long; couldn't finish. LOLZ."

Decent movie, but was also very unimpressed.

They actually went back further than I expected. Usually for these lists, film history begins with Star Wars -- unless they want to knock some sacred cow like Kane or It's A Wonderful Life. They know their audience doesn't give a shite whether Rebecca is overrated.

I agree with about half the list.

I strongly disagree with No Country, 2001, Amadeus and Million Dollar Baby. But I know a lot of people despise that one (MDB), so I could be in the minority.

I know but that 'of all time' shite always bothers me for some reason. If you only want to talk about movies from the last 30 years than just say that!

It should have read:

25 Most Overrated Movies of The Last 30 Years, & one from the late 60s.

More like 40 years. Which is actually pretty fricking long!

Just barely. Two movies from the 70s, two from the late 60s, everything else on the list is from the 80s forward. Spare 4 movies the entire list is of the last 30 years.

30-40 years may seem long but it's not "all time" long.

It's not like Amadeus currently has a great reputation. Way to take a stand on that one.
