20 Most Overrated Movies of All Time

Lists are extremely relative and yet with every list comes head nodding and then, inevitably, rage that inspires me to construct an email that tells an author just why Gone With The Wind belongs on every list but this one. Lucky for them I am too lazy to hit send.

ak:

I'd agree with all of these, especially Easy Rider and American Beauty. But I'd disagree with Moonstruck. For what it is--a Hollywood rom com--it's very enjoyable. Maybe it's overrated as an Oscar winner, but it's a good comedy.
