Good point well made.

I do hope you are not including Kick-Ass in that sweeping yet accurate generalisation?
Long since given up even watching his films before 2010

As far as Inception is concerned I didn't think it was shit, it just didn't live up to the hype. The Godfather also falls into this catagory.
Se7en, The Matrix films & The Shining were all crap in my opinion.

This is an excellent list.
Fight Club and Clockwork Orange in particular are just self indulgent nonsense.
Agree with all of them apart from Trainspotting.
The Perfect Day sequence is one of the most awesome film moments I've ever seen.

Certainly not crap but hugely overrated imo.

Doctor Worm
A Clockwork Orange
Brokeback Mountain

To name just a few........I know (given the OP) that is it probably required of me to name a Steven Spielberg film but I haven't seen one since the third Indiana Jones film (although I'm not suggesting that's the only reason people mention them as to be fair a good proportion of them did look proper terrible )
edit: Oh and also The Matrix films.......and Batman Begins was pretty tedious too.
edit2: Most things with Robin Williams in (but not The Fisher King which, to my shame, I haven't seen yet but the book was great
)

Yeah sorry fella lol! (but that is the point of this thread surely ;-))
A mate recommended it but I couldn't see how it was special, I even watched it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything! Nothing really happens, I was waiting for some kind of twist but it seems you're in on it from the beginning.

Well, maybe crap was a little harsh. I can see how others could enjoy it but it just didn't do anything for me.

And it's all gone quiet..
Ironically, I'm using this thread to a compile a 'films to watch' list.

I thought the Departed was superb, and really rated Se7en as well, which is slated elsewhere here.
I think the most over-rated film i have ever seen is Chariots of Fire, and i thought Doctor Zhivago was really tedious,

One of my favourite films of all time

Doctor Zhivago maybe tedious, but 5 hours or however long it is of Julie Christie at her finest makes it a classic in my eyes.
She was stunning in it.

Agree, but the Shining was a good film at the time & Nicholson class in it IMO.

Atonement- style over substance with an unbelievable plot
Crash- total American bollocks

I liked Dr.Zhivago. Great atmosphere to it.
