Is it just me, or do the rest of you tear your hair out at the mention of films that are utterly crap, but people have got it into their head are fantasticly amazing.
ie.
The Matrix. Plagerised crap, crappy pretty much everything, uses the gimick of bullet time to pull it through on 'cool factor'

Lord Of The Rings. Everyone thinks they are brilliant becuase of the cult book following. Really watch the films, especially the first one, inconsistant atmosphere, poor (cringeworthy) jokes, pitiful characterisation etc... again, uses the rather breath taking looks of it to pull it through (and the books following). Peter Jackson should go back to his excellent roots

Deer Hunter : Gawdawful editing, Michel Cimino should be shot for this one. an hour of wedding, 5mins of nam, 15mins in pow bit, then back home. The man has no feeling for pace.

Fan boys for each of these really annoy the heck out of me, they will argue all night about the deapth and wonder of them, when they are all catpiss with some nice moments. Any other films like this that should be added to an uber list?
