Overrated/ Underrated movies
posted October 11, 2006 - 8:05pmWe all have movies that we absolutely love that others hate, and vice versa. For instance, I love "Flight of the Navigator." It is a little known kids movie from back in the day where a kid is on a spaceship with an alien that has Pee Wee Herman as a voice...its a bad ass movie. Also, "Boondock Saints" has become a cult classic film. Absolutely bad ass. So here, are my Top 5 Most Overrated and Underrated Films.
OVERRATED
5. Bambi - Way too sad for a Disney movie. Not only that, but the whole movie is about sex. Not convinced? I'll prove it. Exhibit A...lead character name is Bambi. Obvious stripper/porno name. Exhibit B...Friends names. Flower is another term for vagina. Thumper is a term of a guy who is humping a vagina. Exhibit C...Twiterpatted. Obvious term for humping someone's brains out.
4. Talledega Nights - Look...anyone who knows me, knows how big of a Will Ferrell fan I am. But every since Old School and Anchorman, I look for A LOT out of a Will Ferrell movie. This movie just did not have me rolling like Anchorman did.
3. Sherlock the Undercover Dog - Now, very few people have really ever seen it...however, Ben Eroen (U of R grad, and fellow bench sitter on the baseball team) plays Sherlock's sidekick. But, with a name like this, you would expect a lot more bad assy-ness out of the film. Nevertheless, it fails to bring home the bacon.
2. Gone With The Wind - Would be number one easily if not for the complete disdain I hold for number one. This movie sucks. For all the hoopla it gets from old people, there is really only one line in it that anyone knows. And everybody knows it..."Frankly, my dear, I don't give a flying f--k." Or some variation.
1. The Ring - WORST FU--ING FILM EVER!!! I'm hearing all this talk...The Ring was so good...you gotta see The Ring...The Ring is so scary! So, I rent the damn thing. Terrible. No scary parts whatsoever. A big terribly deformed monster could have walked into the room when I watched it and I would have just fallen asleep.
Now let me put this into context. I hate watching scary movies. To this day I can't watch the movie Scream because I saw it in the theater when I was like 11 and had to walk home, alone, in the dark afterward and was FU--ING FREAKED out for like a month. So, I am a little bitch when it comes to scary movies...but The Ring, stupid. However, the porno remake "The Cock Ring" was very scary.
UNDERRATED
5. Just One of the Guys - I've talked about this one before. Chick dresses as guy to try to prove women can be good writers and then falls in love with a guy and has to show him her titties to prove she's a chick. Classic line in this movie is after the booby unvailing...the guy says, "Where do you get off having tits?" Classic.
4. Swordfish - Bad ass nearly all the way through. Whether its the sick 360 shot when the chick runs out and blows up and all the ball bearings go shooting everywhere, or Hugh Jackman getting a blow job and trying to crack the Department of Defense code before he gets shot and killed, or the surprise reveal of Halle Berry's titties. Totally bad ass movie.
3. So I Married an Axe Murderer - Just the scenes with Mike Myers as the Scottish father is enough to make anyone pee their pants. "Head, get up and get the paper...if you can. Haulin' that gargantuan cranium about. I'm serious, it's like Sputnik...spherical but quite pointy in parts. Now that was offside wasn't it. He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow."
2. Rushmore - One of the funniest movies ever. A lot of people don't get this movie along with the other exestential type movies like "The Royal Tenenbaum's" and "Life Aquatic" and so on. But this movie is hilarious.
1. F--k My Dirty S--t Hole, The Movie - Honestly...I can't believe they turned that book into a movie. (Not my joke but probably my favorite joke of all time. Thank you David Cross for this one.)
