After finishing reading BFI Modern Classics: Seven, not only did it jump my appreciation for the film even more (which is very hard) it also makes me wanna throw rocks at SpacePuppet for calling it overrated!!! :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SEEK COUNSELING, IMMEDIATELY!!!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

I am Jack's utterly devastating heart attack due to a state of complete shock at what I've just read. :confused: :(

[ChemicalRomance]

That surprises me AWP...

While Fight Club is obviously one of the most loved and adored films on this board (easily), it also has it's fair share of haters. You don't have to look hard around here to find someone that dislikes Fight Club entirely, or just simply finds it to be overrated. I stopped caring after a while because my personal realization was that it was very much a love or hate movie.

[ComeNightfall]

Gone With the Wind
Forrest Gump
American Beauty
Napoleon Dynamite
Psycho
The Exorcist
The Shining

[Lost in Space]

these movies dont suck
except nap dynomite
and i guess the majority of these do suck


Matrix

Napolean Dynomite

Harry Potter

American pie

Fight Club

Se7en

Excorcist

Forst Gump

[VictimOfChanges]

Saw
Fight Club
Aliens
Halloween

I can't belive that someone was shocked to see that Fight Club is overrated, but nobody said anything about Jaws being listed!!!

Jaws over Fight Club anytime, anyplace!

:eek: :confused: :( .................wow.

Call me a schmuck, but this is all news to me. Seriously. And people are surprised that I'M shocked??? That's quite a blow. I honestly never knew all that. Consider me enlightened.




















Hold me. *cries*

EDIT: Hmmm...then again, The Shining did absolutely NOTHING for me (yet everyone worships it), so yeah, I guess you've got a point.

[Mr-Blonde]

Citizen Kane

[Hannibal21]

I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND THE PRAISE FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Donnie Darko
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Wizard of Oz
Star Wars movies (all of them)

Jaws is an ok movie, but to me Fight Club is a masterpiece because there are so many layers to it. I have seen Fight Club 25 times and i notice something different everytime.

Closer
The Shining
Some Like It Hot
