Overrated: Superbad
Underrated: HOTROD! (punchdance!)
Coffee and Cigarettes. That was painfully boring.
There have been a whole slew of movies that have been nominated for, or have won Oscars that I hated. I think the worst offender was Mulholland Drive. Just terrible.
Overrated: Knocked Up, Death Proof

Mulholland Drive was nominated for an Oscar? That I didn't know. I just know I had to do multiple viewings of that movie to understand the whole story.
Ouch... but I can see where you're coming from on thinking Boondock is overrated. I was a big fan of it when it first came out. Suddenly people started hyping it as a much better film than it is. Oh well, I still love it for what it is, and not for what other people think it should be and tell others.
Most overrated movie in my opinion though is recent: Cloverfield.
I'd also throw any of the Lord of the Rings up there along with Episodes 1-3 of Star Wars and Spiderman.
Swingers. I tried to watch it for the first time a few months ago. I think I made it about 30-45 minutes in before it got turned off.

Some of my friends were constantly talking about the movie so I was curious. After watching it I couldn't figure out what all the hype was about.
I think someone on here has an avatar of a scene from Boondock Saints. I wanna here what he/she thinks of the movie 8)
Pulp Fiction
ALL THE LORDS OF HARRY POTTERS RINGS
STAR TREK WARS
GREEN MILE
TITANIC

If I could reach through the computer and slap you...
I wouldn't really because I'm nice.
However, I still maintain that the biggest, steaming piece of crap that won too much acclaim is Titanic.

It's me with the avatar :) I don't think it's a "great film" and it barely got any press when it came out. I saw it then, liked it, and still do.
I love Boondock Saints for one reason. There is no love story and barely a plot. It's just two guys killing bad guys. There are 100 movies out there that could be better if they just stuck to that formula. Good guys + kill bad guys = fun movie.
Donnie. Darko.

Come on, it was an hour and a half of Vince Vaughn saying Youre money, baby, lets go baby, money money money, baby baby baby. I've never wanted to punch a TV more in my life. When I watched it, my gf fast forwarded on to scenes that she remembered being funny or good. They were neither.

boring
Citizen Kane.

I love Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau so they could crap in my dvd player and I'd be amused.
To each his own though.
I am entertained by lots of stuff that is complete garbage.
Except for Titanic. :)
