I don't like top 10 movie lists because movies have hundreds of THOUSANDS of different and mixed reactions. Seriously many love Mad Max, and some don't. I didn't like Mad Max, because it's not my type of movie. I like certain kinds of games, movies. Although sometimes I wonder about Harry Potter. It was a good book, but I have read books that brought me to tears. The movie versions of the book were pretty damn good, but no Lord of The Rings. This list shouldn’t exist at all.

But there's no way you're going to convince me that any of these other films even comes close to the pretentious douchbaggery that is Juno. You need to revise.

Honestly, if I had to make a top ten list, Scarface would get all ten. I have to agree with Scarface being listed as number one.

Matrix,Shawshank, Gladiator are 3 good movies but your views and description about 2001 are completely incorrect, maybe your the type who likes the garbage that comes out now, but 2001 is a masterpiece of epic proportions, obviously you never experienced it. I think it may be #1 of all times I was looking up on something and stumbled across this.

In gladiator commudus is arguably the least one dimmensional character in the film. the matrix is genius, and theres a reason why shawshank redemption is deemed one of the best films ever. because it is. whats wrong with a happy ending? yeah i get some of these. but for some of these films you have no idea what you’re talking about.

When I saw it I was thinking this is nothing more than a good chick flick. It's cheesy and not there's not really that much too it. As for the Shawshank Redemption I loved that movie but it is a tad bit overrated it shouldn't be #1 on imdb's list(it still deserves a spot on that list though just not #1). 2001 A Space Odyssey was definately overrated in my opinion and I think I might be one of the few people here who thinks that Quentin Tarantino is also overrated. The Departed was overrated as well in my opinion. Now overall though I love film but those are some I found to be overrated I agree Casablanca is definitely overrated in my opinion.

Personally, I don't even think it's a good film. It's basically soft-headed and collapses under the slightest analysis, plus the script is awful. The performances are okay, but even the best actors couldn't make some of those lines work. Bollocks to films that give people hope - find your own hope, and watch films because they're good, not because they contrive some kind of "uplifting" message!

Some people might think they're classic; I think some are the most overrated ever. 1. Stagecoach- scenery makes the movie or vicera versera. 2. How Green Was My Valley?- this might be good. Don't know; never seen it; stupid title; What? won best picture! 3. The Quiet Man-I don't get it. What exactly makes a movie a classic? Can't see it being in here.

I quite enjoyed it, but it's nowhere near as good as some of the Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly movies where the dancing took center stage. Why? Because of all the jump cutting and tight angles in Chicago. Anyone can be made to look as though they can dance if the camera angles are really tight and there are jump cuts every 5 seconds. You can barely see any dancing and with all the sound mixing today you don't even have to be a very good singer to sing in a movie either. Whew! Venting on the internet is highly underrated!
