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.

I don't know if it's the most overrated, but there's a special spot in my spleen for Arrival. It establishes a universe with hard determinism and then totally fails to engage with it. The plot is resolved by a Chinese general convincing himself not to Launch the Missiles via a time paradox that, again, the movie makes no attempt to engage with. It's a perfect artifact of its time (2016) because it's a pure distillation of American liberalism, a broody, pseudointellectual exercise so convinced of its own inevitability that it no longer needs to justify itself.

It's apparently based on a Ted Chiang short story that's allegedly better, but I haven't gotten around to reading it.
