I'd try to make a short list, but nothing's really popping into my head besides the usual suspects (Titanic, The Usual Suspects (ZING!), Forrest Gump). I did, however, just watch A Streetcar Named Desire last night and I found that to be pretty overrated. It was still a really good film, but the only things that really stand out about it are the writing and Brando's powerhouse performance.

She had the most atrocious lines to spit, I defy anyone to make it sound good. Even Hayden Christensen isn't nearly as bad as you'd think. George Lucas just can't direct actors, or write dialog.[/quote]You got a point there. But I still wouldn't watch Black Swan. Its just not my movie. It kind of looks like another episode of Days of our Lives.
