Body: I really hate A Christmas Story...and I can't help it. Is it over-rated by being considered a "classic"? The film has endured a long time and is loved by millions, it is even parodied in television commercials. What I want for Christmas is for Ralphie to shoot his damn eye out this year.

Body: Well, this is a list that could go on forever (I freely admit that I had written off Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson long before both of them gave the general public lots of reasons to do the same), but I just thought to start this thread because I just read the headline "Nicolas Cage plans to cut back on acting" (full story at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061210/ap_en_ce/people_cage_6) and my first thought after "this is news?" was the urge to send him a thank-you card. Don't get me wrong - Nic Cage has been in LOTS of movies that I enjoy and even a few that I love, but over the past several years, I would argue that many of the films in which he has starred have been questionable - at best - for entertainment value (my opinion only). I have not seen him in anything since Adaptation because I have felt lukewarm (or worse) about every movie that he's been in since then. I even started giving deep thought to his earlier roles in the films that I still enjoy and, in many cases, he could easily have been replaced by any one of numerous other actors and the films would have been just as good. Anyone else feel similarly or want to add to this list?

Body: Swingers's detail pageI thought I wouldn't like participating in this group at first because it get's frustrating complaining about movies, but I can't seem to hold myself back. Puhnner, you asked me to list some of my overrated movies, referring to my definition of overrated by ratio. Well I'm not sure if this is going by the same criteria, but I've come up with a list from another source. I also rate movies at the website movielens. It will give you recommendations based on your ratings and whatnot. It also gives some interesting statistics. For one, it tells me which movies I have rated the lowest compared to the average rating on their site. So I have looked at that list and picked several of them. The thing about this method is that I am not using what my impression of the ammount of acclaim a movie has received for the ratio but rather what the ammount of acclaim a website thinks a movie has based on the votes from it's users. Some of these movies I have not seen for a long time, so my feelings about them are not as immediate in my memory, but maybe it will give some dicussion.

PredatorArlington RoadLa Femme NikitaGladiatorThe Motorcycle Diaries Also, I have added the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to the overrated list for this group. I also want to say I often hope my list in this area will stay short. Many of these movies I have had an impression from the start that I would not like it. I usually have a good sense ahead of time about what movies I will like more or less. I can't tell exactly how much I will like a movie, but I'm usually pretty close on the general range of how much I may like it. Most of these movies I was coerced into seeing. Some of you may argue that the fact that I told myself I didn't want to see it in the first place may have had an effect on how much I liked it. Such as if I go in telling myself I won't like it, I'll probably find more reasons not to like it. That may be true to some extent, but not enough to really effect my decision that much. Go ahead and ask me about these selections and make a list of your own using whatever criteria you feel is appropriate.

Body: Finally! It's so good to see at least a few kindred souls out there; I thought I might be the only person on the planet puzzled by ND. Don't get me wrong, I love the character. Jon Heder's Napoleon might be the most adorable dork to ever inspect 4H milk samples for defects, but the pacing of this film is just horrendous. It's a little like watching some ancient geezer with a walker attempt to cross the street -- you're really pulling for him to make it, but you're not sure you can handle the interminable wait. The best thing about this film is all the great one-liners. Hubby and wife writing team Jared and Jerusha Hess fare much better with Nacho Libre, but that might just be the influence of Mike White. In any case, go make yourself a dang quesadillah and rent Nacho Libre instead!
