Hard part about playing chicken is knowing when to flinch.

[*]The Social Network (Grating, Prating, Cold and Boring)

[*]Mulholland Drive (Mainly because I don't get it. I do not get the fucking point of this movie. I really don't.)

[*]The Dark Knight (Don't get me wrong. It's probably the best GA stupid movie I've seen post 2000, but the love for this is just insane) 

[*]Wall-E

[*]Toy Story 3 (Toy Story 1 and 2 were part of my childhood, but this is just a disappointing conclusion.)

[*]4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days ( I mean it's god and all, but the acclaim for this movie is just ridiculous)

[*]Lincoln

[*]Spirited Away (or replace with whatever Hayao Miyazaki film suits your fancy)

[*]Up

[*]Melancholia (Pretentious, nonsensical crap)

[*]A Separation (Le Passe >>>>>>>> A Separation. There I said it.)

[*]In the Mood for Love 

[*]Inglourious Basterds (Big, Sloppy Mess)

[*]Silver Linings Playbook (Glorified Rom-Com)

[*]Das Leben der Anderen/The Lives of Others (Wholly Mediocre)

[*]Beasts of the Southern Wild (She's not acting, she's playing)

[*]The Help (White people solving Black people problems.)

[*]Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 

[*]Cloud Atlas

[*]Million Dollar Baby

[*]Requim for a Dream

[*]Little Miss Sunshine

[*]Waltz with Bashir

[*]Iron Man 1, 2 and 3

[*]I'm deciding between Zodiac and The Avengers atm. 

 

 

And i did too, but then I was scrolling through hte most acclaimed movies of the 21st century list and remember a few things that I thought were even worse.

 

It should be Avengers. Do you think The Avengers deserved to be the third grossing movie of all time?

[riczhang]

Ya probably.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Ya probably.

You think it deserves to the third highest grossing movie or that it should be number 25 of the overrated movies.? Did you like the Avengers?

So I guess I'll start tackling this.I'm going to be taking a mix of things into account. Box office, Oscar appearances, critical reception, and forum reception.

[baumer]

So when will this commence?

[The Panda]

So when will this commence?

 

Voting ends on Friday, and I will begin to tally them as soon as voting ends, so I should start around saturday - sunday.

[BadAtGender]

I think I'm up to 19 choices. Just a few more and I can assemble a list.

[The Panda]

There's about a day left to get your lists in!

[4815162342]

Submitting a list of 15. My list is weighted more towards bad/medicore films with Oscar/critical success than those getting box office.1. Chicago2. The Artist3. Slumdog Millionaire4. V for Vendetta (the film the Internet loves to love, for all the wrong reasons)5. Crash (it gets shit on a fair bit here, but still, a mediocre film winning BP deserves Top 5 ranking)6. The Reader7. Avatar (biggest film of all time, loads of Oscar and critical love, but it's very flawed)8. Lost in Translation9. Almost Famous10. The Dark Knight (because it's treated as the coming of GOD, when it's just very good)11. The Wolf of Wall Street (Because BOF loves this like GOD's Son, when it's just almost very good)12. Cast Away13. A Beautiful Mind14. Million Dollar Baby15. Skyfall

[The Panda]

I'll give people the rest of today for any last minute lists.
