My pick: The Silence of the Lambs

Literally never got the hype, it’s an aggressively mid movie. Not scary. No deeper message. Just a snoozefest of a movie.

Bonus Pick: The Godfather

Although I did like the movie, I didn’t think it was top tier like its commonly placed. There’s a ton of pro-AmeriKKKan propaganda and undertones in it as well.

Bonus bonus pick: The Matrix

I can see why people enjoyed it, the themes are interesting first time around. I just found the action scenes and Keanu Reeves character incredibly cringy. Kind of ruined it for me.

Alright Hexbear what are the most overrated movies in your opinion? Feel free to call me an uncultured pleb in the comments too.

    • Quentin Tarantino movies are all mid. His only good ones were Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. Everything else he ever does is just copying Akira Kurowsawa scenes, adding everyday conversations to the mix, then killing everyone at the end because he doesn’t know how else to end the movie because he hasn’t actually written anything.

    • Requiem for a Dream

    • I feel like I should like David Lynch, but I don’t. I’ve enjoyed a lot of films described as Lynchian, just actual Lynch movies feel really boring with this feeling of IDK how to describe it…like it has a gross plastic coat your aunt covers her furniture with but never cleans?

    • Adam Sandler sucks.

    • Chris Pratt sucks.

    • Sean Penn sucks.

    • Johnny Depp hasn’t done anything worth seeing in decades at this point.

      Also Tarantino lives in fucking Israel.

      I can’t believe Requiem for a Dream is seriously considered to be some masterpiece, it’s so corny it could be shown in schools as anti-drug propaganda.
