I can see the way this thread is starting to go now.
I am sorry the holocaust was such a boring watch for you.

At what point did I say that? It was poorly directed and very slow. Simples.

Classic film. To call it 'boring'!! (where to start with that)

Shame, I thought it was one of the best filmsI had seen this year. Even though I can't stand baseball. Excellently acted, surprisingly riveting story and a joy to watch.
You're not going to take offence AGAIN to anyone who disagrees with your film opinion are you? Please don't ruin the thread Gareth.

No offense but I can see the thread turning into silliness now so I will let you carry on.

Silliness because I think it was overhyped, and was generally well regarded but I thought was rubbish. Remind me again on the title of the thread, please.

Not just saying this anti US but hated Inception. Thought The MAtrix was obvious tosh. Can't see why it was hailed as some kind of genius concept at all. I was not a fan of Blade Runner either. Sci Fi films are generally overrated anyway and really not my thing at all.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Expectations hyped to the max before seeing it, then it just didn't hold my interest enough for me to want to try to keep up with the unnecessarily overcomplicated plot. Just found it dull.

Withnail and I is apparently a cult classic, but I have have always failed to see it...
All about personal preference, some films mentioned by previous poster's would be in my top 50 list..

I had heard so much hype about Avatar and relented and watched it. Within the first 10 mins I resolved never to take an opinion of anyone who raved about this utter, childish, ill-conceived, bollocks again. A weak story, bad acting with a lot of money thrown at it. I was shocked at how bad a film coulod be and still be considered excellent film making.
And Shawshank is hugely overrated. It is an engaging watch but forgettable and tugs on too many heart strings for me to take it seriously.

Hardly! There are about 10,000 film threads on NSC with me saying the Shawshite Redemption is a load of over-hyped bollards, along with Incepshite (boring as fug), The BoreFather I, II and III and many other films that are sacred and aren't allowed to be dissed on here by the resident Barry Normans. Agree with everything in Nibble's two posts above btw.

Ooo ooo forgot to add to mine the following Masterpiece Of The Overrated:
James Cameron's stinkfest Titanic.
The only thing titanic about this overblown mess was the size of its stench!
One or two set pieces aside it was without ANY merit whatsoever.
Weekly acted, miscast leads (Kate could have flattened that boy during their naughties!) appalling CGI long shots of the ship, hilariously unnecessary subplot involving Billy Zane running around pointlessly with a gun (FFS!), stinkingly cheesey song, acutely embarrassing closing sequence in which the characters assemble posthumously to applaud...APPLAUD! the arrival in 'heaven' o the leads characters and the only shots of merit throughout the film are lifted DIRECTLY from A Night To Remember.
Shocking stinkfest of a film and shows again Cameron's commonly-shared lack (with Goerge "Moneymad" Lucas) of emotional maturity or ability to design characters.
Would go in my Room 101 with soap operas!
