My ten over-rated films (light touch paper and stand back)
Just films that people unaccountably rate as being the greatest ever, or just rated far above their station. I should remind everyone this is just a personal opinion and has no weight in law, even though I would obviously like it to.

- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMarlon BrandoAl PacinoJames CaanThe aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.It's a gangster film done in colour, it has great moments I agree, but the greatest ever. No,very much to the No.
- DirectorDamien ChazelleStarsRyan GoslingEmma StoneRosemarie DeWittWhen Sebastian, a pianist, and Mia, an actress, follow their passion and achieve success in their respective fields, they find themselves torn between their love for each other and their careers.A movie with truncated dance scenes, roped around a ropy-ish story. The acting is fine, but to be lauded so highly. Mistake!
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Paul BelmondoJean SebergVan DoudeA small-time crook, hunted by the authorities for a car theft and the murder of a police officer, attempts to persuade a hip American journalism student to run away with him to Italy.I know the jump scenes are very important, and the last scene is brilliant, but little else works for me in this over indulgent work.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonAn undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.Disappointing, and not overly tense. The last scene is good, but it's a long wait. i shall see out the Hong Kong film (I believe) it was based upon.
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsRobin WilliamsMatt DamonBen AffleckWill Hunting, a janitor at MIT, has a gift for mathematics, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.Just predictable underdog fare, and a slightly patronising ending.
