What acclaimed movie is it for you that you dont get the love for Anon?

Gladiator is an awful film and no one can change my mind. I liked A Beautiful Mind much more which came out just after but that one is forgotten.

arrival
the dialogue is so goofy

A lot of movies that are acclaimed by casuals, but not by critics.
Most Oscar baits, really. Recently I watched a lot of these kind of movies and most of them were pretty bad.

I've seen more mentions of shutter island in the past week than the last decade what is going on in the borg mind of the internet lel.
agree with guy above arrival stinks

12 Angry Men
Forrest Gump
Shawshank Redemption
The Dark Knight
Requiem for a Dream
Mean Girls
Clueless
10 Things I Hate About You (all three are really popular on letterboxd for some reason)
Good Will Hunting (absolutely awful)
Toy Story (Pixar in general)
Edward Scissorhands
The Searchers (why critics love it so much I can't understand)
Saving Private Ryan

Godzilla Minus One

>>215248818 (OP)
Oh Brother Where Art Thou

All rightfully bad movies besides The Searchers. Toy Story especially is hugely overrated, the 3D is nothing like he revelation of their first 2D films, and it's a movie cartoon, not a fable or tale. It's a 6/10, like its sequels.

The Searchers I suppose get rated very highly for its "nuance", the rescue OR revenge of the girl, the marrying of viewpoints on the conflict and expansionism, the husk of a man he is due to his lifestyle of knowing his enemy has made him "like them", and so on. It's one of the top 5 westerns certainly.

This shit was a massive critical success but I found it completely unwatchable. Literally made me lose faith in movie critics and award shows.

Nolan is probably the most overrated director of 21st century.

Objectively good movies. Your taste is shit.

>>215248818 (OP)
I did not care for the Godfather

>>215249777
Trips of truth

>>215249777
Objectively plebian taste.

Fucking THANK YOU
That movie feels like c-tier slop and I was baffled by everybody talking about how amazing it was

>>215248818 (OP)
Braveheart is both bad history and bad filmmaking

>>215249807
A contrarian on 4chan? Stunning and brave.

>>215249994
It was scary, Dicaprio did great and it had many unexpected plot twists. Definitely one of the better ones.

>>215250211
>It was scary
No it wasn't.
>Dicaprio did great
No he didn't.
>and it had many unexpected plot twists.
No it didn't.
>Definitely one of the better ones.
No it isn't.

>>215250211
>one of the better ones
It's one of the weaker Scorseses.

So was Leo crazy or not?

>>215248818 (OP)
sorry you got filtered

>>215248818 (OP)
Most of 2010s movies. At least the most popular ones on letterboxd.

Whiplash has insanely high rating - 4.42 while it's a 6.5-7/10 flick.
Half of the list is basically capeshit in various forms.

>>215248818 (OP)
2001

>shutter island
>many unexpected plot twists
this is the dumbest post on /tv/ right now

Lost in Translation
I just hated both leads and didn't care one iota what happened with them.
That's a great feat, since I usually love Bill Murray's asshole characters.

>>215248818 (OP)
Any movie that's "feel good" or about having a happy social message.

Terminal and The Blind Side come to mind

>>215248818 (OP)
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

>>215248818 (OP)
Going from The Departed to Shutter Island is fucking painful.

Citizen Kane
the king of overrated films

No Country for Old Men.

I thought it sucked and the bowlcut faggot was cringe.

I think Escape from New York sucks.

>>215248906
I can't take Phoenix seriously in that movie, he's like a cartoon villain.

>>215249713
If dildos appear in a film, the film is garbage. Maybe comedies get a pass here. This is a golden rule.

>>215249751
He's a great director but some of his plots fall apart under any serious scrutiny, The Prestige comes to mind at the minute.
Also it's not like the 21st century has set a very high bar.

>>215253719
The Departed?

>>215248818 (OP)
North by Northwest. It's alright, but there's nothing special about Cary Grant's performance and it gets a bit dull and contrived.

>>215253745
>there's nothing special about Cary Grant's performance
Has anyone ever claimed otherwise?

>>215253719
>>215253737
Se7en?

Gladiator didn’t age well. There was no point in Turing Joaquin into a gay sissy rapist. Why couldn’t he have been a competent fighter to give the final act of the movie some suspense? Even in the first few minutes we see Joaquin dirty and sword training and he seemed kind of threatening but then he gets soft retconned for the rest of the movie as a soft handed fag. Why write him as a soft handed fag and if you have to why write the scene with him seeming jacked and bad ass beating up three flunkies in a sparring match? Oh but he’s achoully really weak and gay. Ok so how weak and gay were his goons? Stupid character that ruined the movie imo

>>215253737
Yup. (funny you say that because I’m from Boston and I hate how Hollywood portrays it like the departed is some snippet from real Boston life, they can’t even do the accent)

>>215253788
Never saw it but yeah, movie sounds gay as fuck.

>>215253831
bro, Seven is a classic

>>215253763
Yes? He gets absolutely sucked off in the glowing reviews.

>>215253848
Nah I’ll give that shitty dildo movie a pass. What is it, some dumb serial killer cop movie? With dildos in it? I fucking sleep.

>>215253855
I don't read reviews

>>215253745
Old movies of this kind are generally overrated. Most of the time the plot doesn't even make that much sense.
I see no reason to rate North by Northwest higher than some Bond movies, or Mission Impossible.

>>215248818 (OP)
Everything Tarantino has ever made.

>>215253873
There's like a metal-spiked strap-on that someone was forced to kill a woman with
Anyways, it's got a lot of style and is iconic and is just a good movie

>>215253737
Departed is good but its not great. After I finished it I had no desire to rewatch it.

>>215253897
Yyyyyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaahhh the creept jew writers were probably rubbing their dicklets to the spike dildo, she easily could have been simply raped or skinned alive for the narrative. Gross. Skipping it.

>>215253879
okay

>>215253887
>>215253916
Pulp is goated no matter which way you slice it and you’re wrong if you disagree.

>>215253887
Yep this except I think the only movie worth a damn that Tarintino has made was Reservoir Dogs. Everything else he has done has been self-indulgent and pretentious pandering.

>>215253949
It's been retroactively ruined by everything that came out after it confirming that every scene is indeed one of this writer's thinly-veiled fetishes
And I'm not just talking about feet either

Every "classic" slasher movie from the 80s.
Scarface
A Clockwork Orange

>>215254043
>Every "classic" slasher movie from the 80s.
This, and also literally every Kubrick movie not just clockwork.

>>215249777
>Saving Pvt Ryan
>Objectively good
lol

>>215254224
It is objectively good. Yeah, we fought the wrong enemy blah blah blah

Literally every capeshit.

>>215253719
This was a comedy

>>215254249
Battle scenes are good, everything else is sappy and retarded. Do you actually feel emotions when Tom Hanks cries? Or when they read that Lincoln's letter while mawkish music plays in the background?

>>215254314
>Battle scenes are good
that's half the runtime right there

>>215248906
I love Gladiator, but the ending always cracks me up because Maximus tells the Praetorian Guard to give Rome back to the people, and I know what's coming IRL.

I have tried multiple times to watch Casablanca

>>215254393
It's an easier watch than 99% of movies from that time period

>>215250211
i think the ending saves it, the movie itself wasn't that scary
