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.

yeah Carpenters movies are chessy, that is why they are great, it is that he does cheesiness so well.
try walking a round at night to his soundtracks on headphones....
