At MamaPop today, TwoBusy wrote a gem of a post on overrated Best Picture winners and pointed out how sometimes the Academy translates best to mean not best at all, not even good. (He did another version last week, too.)
I love this topic.
My favorite line from today's post was this:
"Look. I know that something like a billion people saw and loved Titanic, again and again and again. Here's the thing: YOU WERE ALL WRONG."
I hated Titanic. HATED. IT. How do you turn such a historically important event into a three-hour-long cheesefest? And how did James Cameron convince the world (and the Academy!) it was good? I was also reminded that it won Best Picture the same year Good Will Hunting came out. Seriously, if you've seen both those films and think Titanic is/was the better of the two, I may need a moment to say bad things about you behind your back.
But, seriously, I love nothing more than to talk about movies (or really anything that will allow me to use my Riled Up voice), so I wanted to open this up to you:
What's the most overrated movie you've ever seen?
