I know I'm wrong, but Apocalypse now. I so wanted to like it as it's by a brilliant director and I love Marlon Brando and Heart of Darkness too, but I found it so so dull. I did watch the Redux version though - it was about three hours long :/
I'm only here on the lookout for anyone who dares to say Shawshank Redemption. There's always one..........
It's the most overrated movie I have ever known without a shadow of a doubt.
I automatically knock 4 points off my estimate of a persons IQ if they think this is a great film.
(That may not seem much but, to put it in context,reading the Sun is just -2,voting -3,being left wing -3,supporting Chelsea or Man Utd -4 and doing the lottery -5.)

I think perhaps the best critique of it was given by Darren brown in one of his books.
I'd already come to the same conclusion and was very pleased to see a more intelligent and artistic person 'voice' my very thoughts.Id thought I was on my own.
I'd like to try and find the book and give his thoughts as he did it far better than I ever could.
But it could take a day or so as I have over 2000 books and am very disorganised

Well I guess it's fortunate that the only other category I fall under is voting then. Liverpool 4 lief.
I simply do not understand how anyone can dislike that film. It's unbelievable. The only other film that got to me as much was black hawk down (another great film).
