MODERATORS
 

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.

In general, the two most overrated actors are probably Bill Murray and Robin Williams. Bill Murray is just a high rent Chevy Chase that is treated like a national treasure for some reason and I don’t like Robin Williams shtick. This extends to their ‘serious’ films. 95% of the time when you get a comedian doing a serious role they get huge amounts of praise for a mediocre at best performance.

If there is a single movie it would have to be Ben Hur. A snore fest justified by having a huge budget and nice sets.

You forgot the intentional homoerotic subtext.

Gonna be honest, I can’t recall any homoerotic subtext. My brain checked out completely somewhere around the 10th minute of watching 2 characters we should care about and 8 randoms whipping horses.
