I'm the same on LOTR being over-rated. IMO it should be renamed Peter Jackson's LOTR because it sure ain't Tolkien's. I'm very interested to see del Toro's vision of Tolkien.

Over-rated for me are most John Carpenter's movies. A lot of them are just so cheesey and have awful scripts. I don't get why he is so diefied by younger horror fans.

Also every Freddy, Jason & Michael Myers sequel.

Have I alienated everyone yet?

I'm also with Alky on Terminator.

As for under-rated- Peter Lorre. One of the greatest actors ever and he got voted down here in the first round of horror actors tournament.

Also a film I loved when it came out, that has never been released on video or dvd, and was universally panned: Swashbuckler. IMO a wonderful pirate adventure with Robert Shaw, Beau Bridges, Geoffrey Holder, James Earl Jones, Guenevieve Bujold, Anjelica Huston, Avery Schrieber & Peter Boyle.
