Overrated: Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (IMO, load of nonsense)
Underrated: Gangs of New York (IMO, one of the greatest movies of all-time)
To me Gangs is overrated. I watched it and just never thought "I am watching one of the great movies" but it often pops up on lists.
I enjoyed EEAAO but agree. It is not a movie I really desire to see again. (There are great movies like Schindler's List that I don't want to see again but for different reasons.)
First of all, those of you saying Forrest Gump is overrated need to get your head examined.
Gonna break the rules a little bit and do more than one.
Overrated (in no particular order):
The Big Lebowski: Yawn fest Rocky Horror Picture Show: I know it didn't do well initially and became a cult classic, but it doesn't deserve to be a cult classic. Avatar: Too long. Too uninteresting. Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan: It's the only movie I ever walked out on. By far the worst Star Trek anything.
Underrated (in no particular order):
Punch Drunk Love: Adam Sandler is amazing in this non-typical Sandler movie. The whole movie and cast is great. Napoleon Dynamite: Yes, a lot of people love it, but it's not in their top 5 movies of all time, and that's where it deserves to be, so underrated. Crazy People: A good comedy starring Dudley Moore. Underrated because people give it bad ratings, but it deserves much better. Has some very funny moments. Shattered: A well done mystery.
Jeez... Wrong on Wrath of Khan. You must have never seen the one where they go find "God" (I refuse to recall the name sort of like not saying Voldemort). That alone I think DQs you faster than a false start in the 100m.
Rocky Horror is the classic cult movie. It is the definition of a cult movie.
Punch Drunk Love along with Spanglish are good performances by Sandler.
Underrated - many Sam Rockwell movies (Blue Iguana/Mr Right).
I will second Sam Rockwell---I will watch a movie just because he is going to be in. Moon was really good. He was super in Galaxy Quest (which deserves some underrated love but I sort of feel like it is "rated" about right). Also

1) I know I have a minority opinion about Wrath of Khan among Star Trek fans. I am a Star Trek fan. I just don't understand why my opinion is in the minority. That movie is SOOOO boring. The only even slightly interesting thing is those crawly things that go into people's ears. Yawn.
2) Yeah, I said Rocky Horror Picture Show was a cult classic. It sucks so much though that it doesn't even deserve that.
3) You are correct about Punch Drunk Love. Not a typical Sandler performance, and he's great in it.
