My pick: The Silence of the Lambs

Literally never got the hype, it's an aggressively mid movie. Not scary. No deeper message. Just a snoozefest of a movie.

Bonus Pick: The Godfather

Although I did like the movie, I didn't think it was top tier like its commonly placed. There's a ton of pro-AmeriKKKan propaganda and undertones in it as well.

Bonus bonus pick: The Matrix

I can see why people enjoyed it, the themes are interesting first time around. I just found the action scenes and Keanu Reeves character incredibly cringy. Kind of ruined it for me.

Alright Hexbear what are the most overrated movies in your opinion? Feel free to call me an uncultured pleb in the comments too.

Final destination bloodlines has a 6.7 on IMDb and 73 on metacritic. I'd give it a fat fucking 0. Thats as overrated as you get.

In a similar vein if those 2 ratings vs mine. The biggest differences would be.

Ted
MiB 2
the green mile and the whole genre.
american sniper and the whole genre.

Better but still overrated: I'm sorry these are cult classics I know

Collateral
knocked up
cabin in the woods
snatch
baby driver
Schindlers list (and genre)
gladiator

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

IMDb rating and metacritic were 60 or so.

the green mile and the whole genre.

What constitutes the “whole genre” represented by The Green Mile?

cw old timey slur kinda

spoiler

"magical negro"

trope maybe

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Correct.

Saying genre was quicker than specifying the trope that is deeply imbedded in the narrative structure of so many of these.

Also saying genre means other aspects can be counted too. Like the 'won't you pity this black person' while having no valuable content otherwise. Cheap slop with a racial element to it.

The blind side with Sandra bullock. Put that in there too

in the absence of a more informed strong opinion i'd call "negro" fossil terminology or something along those lines. Spike Lee popularized the term for the trope in 2001 in what is surely a deliberate use.
