I wanted to follow up on my last post, where I talked about the most overrated books. Likewise, there is a certain amount of guilt in not liking so called classic movies so I thought I would make an overrated movie list as well.
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey: This movie is dreadfully dull and any point that it tries to make is lost to the viewer. Instead of pondering the film, the viewer is pondering ways to escape the theater.
2. A Clockwork Orange: As you can probably tell, I am not a big Kubrick fan. This film is very disturbing to watch. I don't mind watching disturbing films if I gain something from them, but, unfortunately, I did not.
3. Schindler's List: I have seen plenty of Holocaust movies that are infinitely better that do not get the praise this movie has gotten. I suppose that is because Spielberg has the name recognition but this is another dull film that has not lived up to the hype.
4. Citizen Kane: This is movie is often considered the greatest film of all time. However, this is another one that bored me to tears.
5. Last Tango in Paris: This film is even more disturbing than A Clockwork Orange and again, there is no point.
