I agree with the Godfather. The Departed doesn't do much for me either.😴

Also, I quite like Pulp Fiction, but Resevoir dogs is overhyped.

I think this is my favourite Hollywood romantic comedy of recent times. Great screenplay. Perfectly cast.

Kudos to you, sir. I am speechless.[/b]

Amazing up. But yeah, "As Good As It Gets" is not so bad, compared to other romcoms at least. As for the most overrated movie, that has to be The Sound of Music.

I guess as far as Resevoir Dogs ya either love it or hate it. Another nominee is Public Enemies.

Duly annoyed. Company couldn't care less, for some reason.

I would have to agree. You know, its not a bad movie. A little far fetched, very long winded, but I suppose mildly interesting.

But what the hell is it doing at No 1 on the IMDB Top 250?

It is not a great movie. I can think of at five other movies made in 1994 that I would place higher, and that is only among the movies of a single year.

So, yeah, most overrated movie ever.
