FabSwingers.com forum: ‘Great’ movies that actually aren’t

Which ‘all time great’ critically acclaimed movies that get really high ratings on most movie sites have you seen and thought to yourself - ‘that was actually a terrible movie. I just don’t get the hype’

For me Fargo. Saw it on a site of films to ‘watch before you die’ and it rates highly.

"The English Patient."

Charlotte enjoyed it enormously, but concluded from the film that the British are obsessed with nipples.

Indeed the mumble blights too many modern films.

You want bad accents - check out Richard Gere in the Jackal. He plays an Irishman. It’s truly laughable .

Lost in Translation gets my vote too, I thought it was awful. It's Bill Murray rather than Tom Hanks, but still terrible!!

For their audience I’m sure they’re classic films but for me a bore fest.

All solid but boring.

Silence of the Lambs was ridiculously overrated too. Just because of Anthony Hopkins chewing the scenery. Manhunter is a better take on the character.

Howard the Duck and Streetfighter: The Movie are more entertaining. Even if they are shit.
