Due to an engaging conversation at work, I must put out the following question to the flist:

In your opinion, what are the three most overrated movies ever?

(Remember, it's just an opinion, so if one of you says The Empire Strikes Back you don't have to fear that I will come through the internets tubes to your home and strangle you in your sleep

I don't think I have a top three or anything, but I think Pearl Harbor is a terrible movie and I think it gets more and more terrible for me everytime someone says it's the best. movie. ever. Which totally makes it overrated for me. The war stuff is great, they should have left out the ridiculous love triangle. Oh, wait, speaking of love octagon, that's my third one, Legends of the Fall = hate. One of my least favorite movies of all time and such a ridiculous cult following. And my second is the Indiana Jones movies. I will at least say that I might have appreciated them more if I had seen them in the 80s and not tried to watch them 15 years later when drunk as a 22 year old at 4am, but still I do not think they are as great as everyone says they are and I think Harrison Ford will always seem unbelievably corny to me. Sorry. :P There may be others that top these, but this is what I can come up with on the fly. And I know Pearl Harbor would be in there regardless. Awful stuff, that is.

And you realize you are going to have to tell us what yours are, right?

I don't know anyone that liked Pearl Harbor. It was so bad even Kate Beckinsale couldn't save it.

I've never even seen it!

And by the way (and you knew this was coming), Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the 25 greatest movies ever made. :P
