I am with Necro, I easily made a list of more than 20 (even without sequels).

...Who knew I disliked so many popular films! shock

In. Done it scientifically - comparing imdb ratings with my own ratings and seeing where the greatest divergence occurred Smile

I also picked a few from my low ratings on IMDB. Then a few i really just dont like. I'm sure lots of people rate them highly but thats the beauty of individual taste and choice.

Men in Black
The Breakfast Club
Sixteen Candles

The Exorcist

Raiders, because the Truman Show is brilliant, and because Amy is right...

Otherwise I have to abstain Tongue

Raiders and The Exorcist are two I genuinely feel are overrated. Men In Black and Ace Ventura, I could take or leave. Both The Martian and The Breakfast Club are great, and its a real Soapy's Choice having to vote either as being overrated.

Men in Black

Wonder Woman 1984 Vs Goodfellas, abstain as I haven't seen WW, but Goodfellas is not overrated!

Napoleon Dynamite Vs Police Academy, that's a good call. ND is very decent, but it held up as more than that

Happy Gilmore Vs North by Northwest, mostly because NBN is brilliant!

There Will Be Blood Vs Crocodile Dundee, happy to admit it may be me, but I never got TWBB

Grown Ups Vs Lost in Translation, abstain as I haven't seen Grown Ups. I agree LOT is a bit overrated though

Wonder Woman 1984 - don't know if you can say it's overrated because its a steaming pile of doo-doo, but Goodfellas overrated? Nah.
Napoleon Dynamite
Happy Gilmore
There Will Be Blood
Grown Ups - never seen it, but I won't have a bad word said about the brilliance of Lost in Translation.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley Vs Room

Ted Vs Austin Powers, it's crap Tongue

American Beauty Vs Gigi, abstain as I haven't seen Gigi. I love American Beauty though

Citizen Kane Vs The Eternals, abstain as I haven't seen Eternals

Borat Vs Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, tricky one. I think that both are perfectly good but Borat is treated higher so takes the vote. I thought the general opinion on TFA was that it wasn't great. I thought it was pretty good, especially compared to what came after it!

The Wind that Shakes the Barley Vs Room, abstain. Do I get deported if I say I haven't seen tWtStB?!

Ted Vs Austin Powers
American Beauty Vs Gigi
Citizen Kane Vs The Eternals (will gladly vote any marvel movie as overrated)
Borat Vs Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (Abstain, both great)
The Wind that Shakes the Barley Vs Room (Abstain, haven't seen them)

Austin Powers
American Beauty
Citizen Kane
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Room

This is tough, and I'm trying not to just pick my favourite. There's a few from earlier rounds that I don't think are rated or acclaimed, in order for them to be overrated

Austin Powers
Gigi
Citizen Kane - Citizen Kane, by default because I don't think The Eternals has been hyped up or made out to be any great shapes. And feel free to tell me that I've gotten the concept of this arseways
Borat
Room

Austin Powers
American Beauty
Citizen Kane (Eternals is barely rated, never mind over rated it hasn't been out a year yet!)
Borat - oh yes this steaming pile of turd of a movie, yet somehow gets so much love cos it's edgy or something. Definition of overrated. Star Wars new movies are just meh, wouldn't call them overrated.
The Wind That Shakes The Barley, we love it cos we're Irish but it's actually not that great. *Shrugs*

Ted Vs Austin Powers
American Beauty Vs Gigi
