Skyfall should not be on this list, nor should Inception or SlumDog Millionaire. All were first rate movies, maybe not the GOAT but damn solid flicks.
That's the problem. They're decent movies that were treated as the GOAT by the baying masses.

1. Skyfall (2012)
Just the theme song should keep it off this list.
Also, Bond contemplating pushing the little red button with M in the passenger seat of the vintage Aston-Martin.

I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this list anymore!

Skyfall may have been the best Bond
I don't get you people. Skyfall was terrible. We are being hunted down by killers. Lets go to a run down mansion in the middle of nowhere and take them out by ourselves. Should be easy, we have Bond,an old woman and an old man.
His plan to protect M was as bad as the bad guys plots for world domination in the campiest worst Bond films.

Odd bump, but yeah for me The Depahted doesn't belong on that list.

Network is one of the best movies of the second half of the 20th Century.
Inception hasn't been overrated since it left theaters. In fact, I'd say it's now underrated due to so many people bagging on it as one of Nolan's weaker films.
The Departed is definitely overrated, but it's also a really good film. A double into the gap with 3 men on.
Skyfall is good enough to draw comparisons outside the Bond franchise, not quite good enough to stand on its own merits.
Saying Videodrome is overrated is like saying Eraserhead is overrated.

Almost a five year old thread and one post? Where did you come from?

This bump makes no sense. It's like a bot. I feel like if I keep clicking on this thread my computer will get Ebola and I'll have to buy property in Florida.

It's a cult film and I doubt many people under 30 have even seen it so yeah, It really shouldn't be on an all time overrated list. Hell, I thought it was interesting when it came out, but I doubt I have seen it since it came out.

Annie Hall should top the list.

All my respects, dude: they had me watching that polemical, narcissistic crap at the faculty... to support the thin air on which the movie is built, Welles added a few "innovative" shots, but you just can't base an entire movie on a zoom, no matter how pretty that zoom might be. It still is about a dude with a huge jaw, full of himself, believing he's the real, bad-arse deal. The epitome of flaunted confidence... true shrink-material. Maybe daddy-related issues, lack of recognition, who knows?
The protagonist is just some tycoon: tycoons make money, babe, just live with it. What's the use of inspecting such a bored-down character's life in such a morbid fashion..? get a life, people: friendship, love, 60s/70s music and movies, a good book, some night out, life en pleine air, travelling, a little gym...
...please, do yourselves a favour and don't watch more than 10 minutes of that nerdy, arty-farty, pretentious "Citizen Kane".
It's just a status-symbol for people who don't know sh*t about cinematography, and believe to be considered cool and hip by watching that movie. Don't be fashion victims.
I watched it again after a decade, I thought "maybe it's just me, let's give it another try": I couldn't watch it whole.
Orson Welles was better off pulling radio jokes, he just wasn't cut for cinema, by any means. What a disgrace...
