Okay, we hear you and we agree – film is subjective. One person’s masterpiece is another’s bargain bin.
However, the beauty of cinema is almost always in the conversations it sparks and in the viewers interpretation of what the film represents to them. Film has been popular for so long because of that.
Here is when 'Elvis' is released on DVD, BluRay, 4K and digital Best horror on Netflix 2022: 10 of best truly scary films on Netflix, ranked by Rotten Tomatoes reviews
Saying that, even the most universally loved films can divide friendships, and sometimes families, if it just didn’t hit the sweet spot for a particular person, which begs the question – what is the most overrated film of all time?
We asked the question to the Scottish public and these 10 films scored highest in the response...and trust me, there are some real surprises.
5. The English Patient (1996)
This 90s hit was another that our readers described as 'boring'. Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche and Willem Dafoe meant they film had a real A-list class and an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite that, it's going in our list. Photo: Vittorio Zunino Celotto
6. Lost In Translation (2003)
In many ways, you either love Wes Anderson's movies - or you don't. However, 2003's Lost In Translation seemed a hit across the globe, gaining an almost perfect 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. It does make our list, however, after many readers said they didn't understand what it was about - let alone why it was so highly rated. Photo: Ernesto S. Ruscio
7. Forrest Gump (1994)
The award winning Forrest Gump pulls real damn hard on those heartstrings, with many people pinpointing it as their favourite film, though of our readers felt it was just a tad overrated, with one user even saying "anything" with Tom Hanks is overrated. Eeek. Photo: DAN GROSHONG
8. La La Land (2016)
The musical cleaned up at the 2017 Oscars, and while I'm a big as fan of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as the next person, I'm inclined to agree that La La Land definitely belongs in this list. Sorry Ryan! Photo: Christopher Polk
