Films that were acclaimed that are actually rubbish

Lost in Translation. Absolute crap. That’s a couple of hours of my life I’ll never get back

Can't agree with this myself, although I can absolutely see how someone could feel that way.

But it was very cool to love them in the 80s and then again 30 years later.

Unless you were the child of US middle-class parents they are completely irrelevant but the cool factor will always win out.

Pretty in pink? my arse.

PIP is the worst of them all, but his most overrated is Planes, Trains and Automobiles, which -- despite having two of the funniest comedians in North America at the time -- is (deep breath) NOT FUCKING FUNNY.

Not a film, but I gave up on Peaky Blinders after one season. Found the characters soooo one dimensional that I couldnt care what happens. Honestly dont get the hype

Already mentioned, but to me it's:

Scarface
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
The English Patient
The Big Liebowski

I like the english patient! He quotes Herotitus and I knew the story. It made me very cool for 5 minutes.

Agree.

Might have been alright if they hadn't kept repeating the same parts but from a different perspective. But definitely not fit to lick the boots of the 1958 version with John Mills, Bernard Lee and Dickie Attenborough

 

[Winchester]

War of The Worlds 2005

Total Crap

I think if you have spent days in hotels in odd places you get this film. If not you don't.
I liked it.

Same with Up in the air. Spend your life traveling through airports and living out of a suitcase and it will hit the spot.

I folded 40 mins in.

Well done , 20 mins , utter shite

Olivier Twist was one of the best musicals ever made and probably my favourite film.

Then you should know it’s Oliver !
