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 think your read on it was right...which is part of why the movie makes me so mad. It does put a lot of effort to depict how fighting in Vietnam destroyed these men, but it also validates the supposed reasons americans were there in the first place by depicting the viet cong as murdering civilians for actually no reason at all. The obsession with death instilled in these men throughout the movie are shown to originate from the vietnamese(seen through the famous russian roulette scenes)...not the American military

The singing scene has a quality of liberalism dissent after everything that came before it imo

Hm, very interesting. I saw it when I was much younger so maybe I was less critical of the VC depiction than I would be now.

After reading your comment I found this extremely in-depth article about the making of the film and the controversies which surrounded it and a lot of your criticisms seem to have been made around its release, it was a good read:
