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.

    When I first watched the matrix it was 1999 and we watched it three times in a row, back to back. The final movie is mid but the first one was a sweeping phenomenon, given the subtext and the closeted nature of 1999

    My wife says Scarface “or every western ever”

    My pick : Lawrence of Arabia

    Radically underrated movie of all time : Waterworld 😏
