The Shining is one of the most overrated movies of all time. Other than the well crafted isolated atmosphere created and Jack Nicholson's performance (for laughs) everything else in this film is nothing special.

yeah, but you have scarface as one of your top 5 films of all time   :P

PWNED!!!!

Crank is better than The Shining.

The Seven Samurai is a lackluster Kurosawa film.  (2.5/4 at best) :o

I defy anyone to top that! :P

(Prepares for those sensational people who hate Casablanca, The Godfather and Citizen Kane to throw their hats in the ring.)

You can't just casually drop a bomb like that without providing some reasoning.

DO IT.

If someone would've told me that the plot of A Bug's Life borrows (or steals, depending on your viewpoint) heavily from Seven Samurai and/or The Magnificent Seven, I might've watched one or both of them sooner.

Either way, A Bug's Life is better than The Magnificent Seven.  However, A Bug's Life does not possess the ability to make a gay boy swoon for Charles Bronson or Steve McQueen.

Okay. I HATE Casablanca, The Godfather and Citizen Kane, as well as Back to the Future, The Wizard of OZ, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, puppies, babies, and candy.
