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 honestly think the godfather movies are just so incredibly influential that it's very hard to appreciate them for their own merits if you're under the age of 40. The Exorcist is like this too- I like that movie but so much of it has been baked into the culture more broadly that it's hard to grasp what made it compelling originally.

edit: not to say I'd defend the godfather from this though. I'm not crazy about it either, but that's my perspective on the movie

Feels like every other scene in the Godfather has been taken and used in every film since it's creation. It's hard for something to hit like it should when the 1000 new things it did have since been replicated ad infinitum.
