pulp fiction, its a very good movie but i dont think it deserves to be ranked 11 on imdbs top 250. I like reservoir dogs and the kill bills much better than pulp fiction but im not saying its bad.

Office Space and Big Lebowski come to mind for me. Enjoyable, a few chuckles, but I don't see either of them as being the big 'cult hits' they allegedly are.

Some movies I think are overrated:
Titanic
Armageddon
Citizen Kane
Hero (I own this, but it was a blind buy.
I hate it.)Batman Begins (Own this too. I like it, but it's overrated.)
The Ring
Field of Dreams (If this movie were alive, I'd kill it. Sorry, it's terrible.)
The Untouchables (And not just because Kevin Costner is in it.)
Black Hawk Down (I didn't even bother selling this movie to the dvd exchange. I just gave it away for free.)
Chicago
There's many more, but that's just off the top of the head.

Needs to contact an admin about multiple accounts
i see all the usual suspects cropping up in this 100th incarnation of the "overrated movies" thread.
me? i think Midnight Cowboy didn't deserve to get an "X" upon its initial release. good of the mpaa to later downgrade it to an "R". but that's an "overrated" of a different sort.
btw, there's no such thing as an overrated movie... just movies you didn't care for that a bunch of other people admire.

Out of curiousity, which is worse?
Posting a duplicate thread [even though some of the threads it's duplicating are 2+ years old], or repeated posts in that same new thread saying in various tones of snarkiness, "Hey, this is a duplicate!" Do people just have to share their input, even when it is repeated virtually verbatim just above them?
Hero--I assume you mean the Japanese war thing, not the Dustin Hoffman plane crash thing?
Chicago--I don't know about overrated, but the live theater version was vastly better than the portions of the film I saw.

Oh, and just in case you people missed it this is actually a duplicate thread. It's been done before 500 times. Now it's 501 times. Just thought I'd let you know. HAVE A ONE MILLION DOLLAR BABY DAY!
