the others are either quite overrated or I have not seen them
 
Sorry but I just dont agree with some of the movies specially when they dont have movies like TITANIC... CRASH...
Forest Gump and Good Will Hunting are every bit as good people say those movie to be.
Gone With The Wind and Wizard of OZ are classics... you can bash them all u like but u'll never know how it felt to see them when they 1st came out.
Sooo they shouldn't be counted either.
A lot of them I haven't seen... and personally I'm not a big fan of the GODFATHER trilogy
BUT
Chicago...A Beautiful Mind... American Beauty and Monster's Ball... I agree.
 
Lot of great movies on that list, but the only one I'm pissed off about is Field of Dreams, since I have a special place for that one.
 
Clerks, Mystic River, Wizard of Oz, 2001 and Good Will Hunting are not overrated.

I really love Field of Dreams, I don't think it deserves to be on that list either. :up:
 
yeah, the pacino scarface and godfather films are very overrated, as is the shawshank redemption and taxi driver

That´s easy controversy stuff. Maybe it´s for being online so often, but I´m more than bored with this obsession with calling praised/successful movies "overrated", it feels like that "I´m too cool for this" game, like, if I find flaws in something most people praise, I´m part of the "cool, smarter gang". You can find flaws - or qualities - in anything if you decide to. Basically, it´s the same media that helps to create the mystification of these movies trying to pull the rug under it for publicity sake.
 
I wonder what the qualifications were to make a film reach the top 20 of all time. Some of these have a big cult following but overrated?
 
I really liked a Beautiful Mind, and the Wizard of Oz. 2001 is an amazing film. It is too long, but when I watch it, theres nothing I can find that I would take out.
