Almost all of them.
True, but some are more blatantly overrated than others.

Also true. I don't know if it's possible to overrate a film about faith whales, however. Someone should make one.

Hmmm, if we could get Aki Kaurismäki to make one, I am sure it would be brilliant and underrated.

I think matrix was an excellent movie, it brought new features (special efects) to the movies and put you to think a little. I believe the ones who created matrix had a very big imagination.

That film was so underrated it wasn't even rated...

And the Total Balalaika Show was also brilliant.

Eyes Wide Shut. The most boring film ever. Kubrick is great but missed the mark on this one.

I like Eyes Wide Shut - but I know I am largely alone with that opinion.

Over rated films? Any film by M. Night Shyamalan.

I liked it too, but then again I loved Moulin Rouge.

Me too, to both that and Eyes Wide Shut (although I detest the scientologist dwarf).

I liked Eyes Wide Shut but I never heard much "rating" about it. Did people like it in general?

M. Night whatever, definitely over-hyped and over-rated.
I quite liked The Village but more for the concept than the application.
Lots of people stood around mumbling "mysterious" thoughts. Just like all his films.
Just remembered one for the worst film's thread: Unbreakable. A friend of mine nearly broke a rib laughing so hard at that (in the cinema, it was quite embarrassing).

EDIT: Oh, and Moulin Rouge belongs in the worst films thread.

Nicole Kidman's a lot taller in real life.
