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.
Ridley Scott is a deeply incurious man who prefers telling a “good story” to any sort of historical accuracy. See also: the whole Napoleon shooting the Sphinx, and this rather interesting video on orientalism in music about using Armenian instruments in scenes depicting Morocco.
I actually find the plots in most of his movies really boring though. Alien and Blade runner are the only movies of his i like
