So, i'd like to remind y'all, THE 25 MOST OVER-RATED FILMS list is starting on December 1, 2017.

Please let me know if you are able to pump out a list. Even if its only 10 or 20 films. Chien, six, shryke? Anyone else?

nice, thanks tranny!

Ive just finished my list, with a little write up on each, actually looking forward to seeing if there's many if any cross-overs. When you have completed yours, just send me a pm

Is there anyone else keen? W? Banks? If so, you have 1 week until we begin: The 25 Most Over-rated films (you have ever seen) list

Same here. 'overrated' is so wide a term, its hard to narrow it down to anything. Now if we ever do a top ten worst movies, i'm in.

I'm enjoying thinking about this. Rather than rely on "worst", which can lead to focusing on obvious choices such as The Avangers (the 90s film) or Catwoman or Gigli or whatever, you have to think about what's regarded as great and why it irks you. Indeed, instead of thinking of movie titles alone, I've started with thinking about trends and tropes that annoy me in cinema, and I've found a highly-regarded film that perfectly represents that. I've even surprised myself with a few titles from film-makers I adore.

La La Land? Well, you'll see a Chazelle film in mine (and at least one Fincher).

Yeah, I don't have 25 on my list yet, but so far it's a lot of films that I "enjoyed" but not as much as the hype surrounding them. Well, most of them. Some I thought were just terrible :)

Maybe I will participate. I will start thinking about it. If I can't do a Top 25, maybe I can do a Top 10. Whom to I send them to?

I'm going to start with the All-Time Box Office list and then work my way onto Oscar darlings. Course, it means I'd actually have to have seen the film, so, that narrows it down...
