The 50 Most Overrated/Underrated Movies Ever (Screenage Wasteland) - Page 2

"There is nothing more pretentious than claiming something is "overrated." Art is subjective, which makes the act of declaring one thing less deserving of acclaim over another thing, futile and silly. People like what they like and if enough people like a certain thing, it becomes popular. Simple as that. On the flip side of that, trying to determine what is and what isn't "underrated", is a tricky proposition. The entire concept is nebulous and hard to pin down because a film could be critically revered but under seen and still be considered underrated or vice versa—hugely successful but have a lukewarm reception. The goal of this list is twofold: to knock a couple of unworthy so-called classics off of their pedestal and replace them with what we believe to be films of equal quality that aren't as well known or as beloved." - screenagewasteland.com
