I think the movie "Crash" was totally overrated (the one that won the academy award, not the one from the 90s about car crash fetishists)

You know... I watched The Hangover, I thought it was really funny the first time I watched it, but it has no replay value, I watched the 2nd and thought "seen it all before, yawn!" and I've not bothered with the 3rd one.
I totally agree with you about Due Date, RD.jr makes that movie though, Zach is funny in it, but it's just the bit where he spits on the dog, I could not stop myself from doing my "proper laugh" in the middle of the cinema. Made a total cunt of myself and I loved it.
However...

I joke of course, it's a great movie, but one movie I did not enjoy and thought it was a massive, massive waste of time downloading was Avatar, I hated every single second of it and I've no idea why I bothered watching it until the end.

It's a chic flick for sure, but saying that, I tend to enjoy a lot of chic flicks and hate a lot of action movies ..
So yeah, I liked the English patient..
And omfg.. my mom totally loves sam Elliot.. probably her fave actor..
she's not a fan of tom selleck though

I've seen most chick flicks. On my own. I really enjoy them
tend to work well with my depression.Busy watching high school. See if it lives up to its lack of reputation.
Overrated film? Monsters university. Could there be a more generic and predictable plot? And somehow the lack of rules with regard to character physiology and ability, just make it even more generic somehow..?

Can be entertaining the first time you watch it, if you're in the right mindset, but has zero re-play value. I mainly just enjoyed the guy with the drinking problem and the jive.

Yeah.. Idk.. for some reason I'm not a big Lesley Nelson fan for the most part..
I guess it was funnier back when it first came out.. heck I use to lol at the Brady Bunch.. some shows just dont hold up either.. like Star Wars.. visually it aint what I thought when I first saw it back in the 70's
airplane had some good quotes for sure..

You're not going to piss me off. Just make me wonder how in the heck you can't find it one of the funniest movies in the history of ever. It's funny because it's so over the top and full of serious actors playing decidedly unserious characters. They took the parody to 11. It still holds up. But it may be because the actors are from my generation and we grew up watching them in very serious dramatic roles. Those born after the movie came out don't truly understand seeing Barbara Billingsley, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves in this film and the absurdity is lost on them.
Now Airplane 2 on the other hand, was just god awful. It didn't have the shock value of the original. You can't strike the same match twice and could see the jokes coming. It looked like a cheap rip off mostly because it was a cheap rip off. It's worse than Caddyshack 2, but only marginally.
Surely you can't be serious about disliking Airplane!
That joke used to crack my grandpa up every time. I think that's why I like the movie.

Heard about this one early Scorcese movie, another gangster flick called Mean Streets. Keitel, De Niro, sounded pretty good and had all these great viewer reviews. Turned out to be two wannabe gangsters walking round town, talking, doing mostly nothing for the whole movie. No plot to speak of, was a terrible movie. I guess when you get to be a filmmaker of Scorcese's caliber anything you make gets heralded as a classic.
Tarantino is in the same boat. Not that I don't love most of his movies, but damn, Django Unchained was really disappointing after all that hype.

When critiquing Godfather or Scarface, you should keep in mind the time that these movies were made and how different they were from everything else Hollywood was making at that time. Scarface was epic in that sense. The violence and drugs and the rags to riches kingpin story hadn't been done like that before. The Godfather was made at a time when Italian mafias were still a relevant part of the crime in America and people were fascinated by mobsters more than they are today.
Obviously, given the rise in violence since then, these movies seem tame and laughable to someone in today's world.
