It's a few pages back now, but I'd like to third/fourth/whatever the "Hot Fuzz is better than Shaun" argument. To be honest, I think part of it for me was that I really don't have a lot of love for zombie films at all, and while SotD was obviously a comedy first and a zombie film second (a zom-rom-com, in fact), it does ultimately fall into that genre. If there had been less focus on the blank-eyed, flesh tearing gore gags, which got old for me very, very quickly, and more of the characters together exchanging Wright and Pegg's brilliant dialogue, then I probably would have liked it a lot more. On the other hand I love buddy cop films, so maybe that particular UO comes down to the genres more than the films.
Anyway.
Also, Se7en is David Fincher's best film. Not sure how unpopular that is, but it definitely doesn't seem to be the general consensus. Similarly I think Reservoir Dogs is by far Tarantino's best, though I haven't seen Jackie Brown.
The Usual Suspects...is kind of overrated. If I hadn't known that there was a Big Twist coming at the end it might have been better, because as it was I spent the entire film trying to guess which character was going to turn out to be Keyser Soze, and I narrowed it down to [insert spoiler here] largely because that was the only character that would be as much of a shock as I'd always heard the ending was. Definitely a case where knowing as little as possible about the film going in is a plus. But yeah, overrated. Beyond that ending, it's kind of an average heist movie with some above-average performances.
