Underrated/Overrated
Okay, I'm going to hold off on most of my own input for awhile as I'm still churning over exactly which films I would put under each of these categories, but I'm curious to see what you guys consider to be the most underrated and the most overrated films of all time, and why.
Surely there are films which we have all waited so long to see, and heard so much about, and were sorely dissapointed when we finally got to watch them. For instance, I find The Terminator to be wildly overrated. I find it horribly out-dated, cheezy as all get-up, and just plain boring. I also find myself completely isolated in thsi opinion as it seems that every other person, organization, etc. that I've ever run across thinks it is one of the most essential films out there. Let's hear some more.

You say Terminator is overated because it is dated?
I find that it is dated to be part of its briliance , It had that cold cyber 80's feel, probably one of my faveorite futureistic eras of movies. OK. I think that Lord of the Rings is far over rated, it is a fine film, but really, it is only a part of a story and holds no ground by itself. Sure it had some nice effects but that is not enough. I'd rather waste my time reading the book or watching Braindead. An underated film I love is Fingers, made in 78 with a young Kietel, well as far` as his carrer goes, it crosses over the gangstar artist genre in a brilliant way I have never seen replicated.

I didn't realize how bad my spelling was right now till you quoted me, to many whiskey and probably to much typing at work today... Another overrated movie.... The Rocky Horror Picture Show, fucking rubbish, sure it has some nice seventies colours, but so do some good seventies movies.. it's crap gay trash. a few good songs but thats it.
