What's the most overrated movie of all time? (hexbear.net)

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.

Agreed and very well put. I think it was revolutionary both in content and context, but has definitely been battered by time and the numerous other forms of media that took some cues and inspiration from it. That said, I think it still holds up very well.

I very much agree, and would still 100% recommend people watch it now. There are many timeless parts to it.

But there is an inescapable tie to the times - rotary phones, dial-up noises, talk about the 90s specifically, cubicle offices, 'hardlines', alarm clocks. I think even these were largely important and great parts of the film, but I could see how someone who knows nothing of that era might not "get it" quite so easily.

Yeah I was refraining from calling it a period piece of sorts, but the things you just brought up here I think I can confidently call it that.
