Just added my first two collections: 10 Essential Kung Fu Films and 10 Essential Samurai Films I find that huge lists of 100 or more films are kinda pointless since A) most people won't read the whole list anyways, and B) no one wants to add 50 movies to their "too see" list at once. So th...

yeah Duvall is really the only one of those 3 I like.

um, how does one access this feature? I've never noticed it.

OK I can see your argument, and even agree with parts of it. Just the way you stated it initially sounded REALLY snobbish even if you didn't mean it that way.

Overrated: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid My god, yes. Boring. I could probably write at least a dozen for each one, but let's go with Overrated - Lost in Translation (one of the worst films ever made) Underrated - Croupier no reason not to post as many as you like, fill your boots Surprised by...

My idea for this topic is for each person to post a film they think is generally overrated and also a film they think is generally underrated (and give a few sentences on why they think this is so for each). Probably makes most sense to keep it to relatively well known films to start, anyways It cou...

262. Plenty of great stuff on there but lots of crap, too.

Babe, Saturday Night Fever, and Pretty Woman? Blargh.

I guess no one will agree 100% with the list except the creator though.
