there are a lot lesser regarded movies that I absolutely love way more than the godfather, deer hunter or apocolypse now. Not that I can't appreciate those movies nor would I say they're overrated but they didn't resonate like some movies did.
It's so hard to understand why people like or love a film so much. I just saw Priscilla, it's been getting pretty good reviews, and one guy on you tube said he liked it better than the Luhrman film. It was dreadful in a million ways, boring, slow and a big part of that is that Priscilla just isn't all that interesting a person, not very bright, not very personable and as Elvis told a later lover, she was a cold person. Not to mention, inexplicably, they had virtually no Elvis music and no original Elvis music. I suppose some reviewers don't want to burst the bubble on a rare female director and there were some great things about it, as far as the look, the wardrobe but those don't make the movie.
