[Electric_Head]

Nah I do agree with some of it.

[Sexual_Chocolate]

a lot of truth (that SOME people just cant seem to handle)

1) Inception
2) The Shining (I gotta say, the book was 10x scarier)
3) Dark Knight wasn't as good as people made it out to be

Anyone that says Alien is overated has no fucking clue what they're on about though

maybe so, but they're opinions... (and i liked the whole alien series [ bar alien resurrection, that was shit])

Ok here's one. Who do people think are the most overrated directors? By the public I'd say James Cameron. By critics I'd say Jean-Luc Goddard.

2) The Shining

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

Hmm no one has said The Big lebowski yet? Ok, then here's a quick list (not the top 3 just some I can think off):

1. The Big Lebowski (saw it, 't was crap)
2. Pulp Fiction (the movie's good, just not that good)
3. Slumdog Millionaire (pretty crappy, yes)

2) The Shining

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

The book was wayyyy scarier!

Reservoir Dogs, Dusk Til Dawn I do love though. Mostly the dialogue again however... Dusk doesn't try at all to be a serious film anyway.
.

Not to be pedantic but From Dusk Til Dawn is a Robert Rodriguez film not Tarantino

and resevoir dogs is a remake of another movie,

I wouldn't' say remake, definitely inspired by a few films and bordering on homage in some cases. You mean Kubrick's The Killing mostly though right? Granted I haven't seen it in many years, so maybe it was closer than I remember.

And yeah Rodriiguez only directed it. Tarantino has sold/given a few of his screenplays to other directors.

Resevoir Dogs for years has been accused of ripping off the 1987 Hong Kong movie City On Fire.

It wouldn't surprise me, he is a huge fan of Asian cinema. I'll have to check it out. It does sound like they have similar scenes and sub plots. But tbh it sounds like City on Fire might have taken a bit from Kubrick's The Killing too which is from the 50s. That was also probably inspired by something else in turn anyway.

2) The Shining

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

The book was wayyyy scarier!

can i say something blasphemous? i never read the book . but, it was a movie my mum specifically showed me to desensitize me when i was super young, like when i was 7 years of age. scared me into oblivion. still one of my favorites. i guess i should read the book though? i read all the time, but i never read a lot of stephen king.

it was ok, i mean it entertained me. But i've heard that same old conversation so many times... OMFG SCARFACE IS A CLASSIC YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT?! YOU HAVEN'T LIVED!

Then i watched it, and didn't really get the hype, shame really.

Hot Fuzz

Everyone was wanking over this when it came out but i don't think i even cracked a smile through the whole thing

It's supposed to be the top 3 overrated films though...Hot Fuzz doesn't get near the top of IMDB or They Shoot Pictures so no one is claiming it to be rated that highly.
