Films that were acclaimed that are actually rubbish

Didn't shawshank was nominated in 95 braveheart in 96.

But then Braveheart was another film that was absolute shite
Oh yea. Looking at the best picture lineup in 95, some top films there, but the 96 lineup was mediocre at best (babe, appolo 13, sense and sensibility!), no wonder Braveheart won. It wouldnt any other year.
The biggest travesty was LA Confidential loosing out to Titanic.
 
Ok. You e done it now. Here I go, Cap’n. :)

Didn’t I say ALL of them?

Risky Business is a better film about Chicago teenagers than anything Hughes did. With Talking Heads and Tangerine Dream and Muddy Waters in the soundtrack.

Now (see above post) in this case I have been told by my wife that I am incorrect and 16 Candles is far better than Risky Business, which is apparently “a sexist piece of shit.” But I shall persist.
You should listen to your wife more often!

Ever wonder why we don’t see Molly Ringwald, that skinny blond twerp with three names or Handsome Boy around any more in films? Cuz they suck.
Time and place. Also, IIRC, Ringwald moved to France because she didn’t like the Hollywood thing. Anthony Michael Hall was in plenty of other things, but was never going to be leading actor material. The Hunk? Who knows! Like I said, time and place. Hell, he’s in the entire movie for about 3 minutes and says about 6 lines...hence the name!

Ferris Bueller is a dick. His girlfriend is an appendage. He treats his best friend like shit and is a douche to his idiot parents. The Jennifer Gray/Charlie Sheen thing is the best part of the film. The movie goes directly down the tubes when he steals the car. Aarrrgghhhh.
You missed it by a mile! :-)

You tell me that Matthew Broderick sending his friend’s dad’s Ferrari into a forest is funnier or more Chicagoan than Tom Cruise putting his Dad’s Porsche into Lake Michigan. No way. The “U-boat commander” wins hands down.
If you believe Ferris put the car in the forest, then you missed one of the crucial aspects of the movie!

Much prefer Matthew Broderick as a high schooler in War Games, where he’s a huge nerd blowing up the world and simultaneously trying to smoke a non-Goth Ally Sheedy.
FINALLY!!!! One of my fave movies of the era! Haha!
 
Shhhhhh next you'll be saying something negative about Game of Thrones and the vultures will start circling....

I think Peaky Blinders is great. Ploughed through the first series of GOT, and it merely left me bored. I'm not impressed by people saying fuck and **** (I get enough of it on BM) and I'm not impressed by seeing heads chopped off (I also get enough of it on BM).* It's all personal, isn't it? I realise I must be a pretty good public for films, because a lot of films mentioned as shit on here I think are good to terrific.

*I liked Daenerys in the altogether. I replayed that frame by frame. Using my hands-free remote.

Hailed as one of the most disturbing/scary films of recent times.

yep, fuck off & that whiny annoying little prick of a kid can fuck off too-fucking talk about overacting.

dogshit.
The scariest thing was the kids problems during the first half of the film. Once the 'ghost' turned up it was shite. I couldnt help wondering why is the house so gray and bleak? Give it a coat of paint. And why does the house not have windows?
