I am stunned that none of the Marvel films appeared on this list. Also as old person who was there in 1999, I can confirm that Blair Witch is a bad film now, but the hype around it at the time was unbelievable. They marketed the hell out of that film and made it an event. That's why it worked.
Such a wide variety of people watch marvel films that they usually end up getting fair amounts of praise or criticism to each movie it’s hard to call any of them overrated example everyone expected ant man 3 to be bad so it’s not overrated because it technically met expectations
Because for a long time Marvel movies have been very divisive, a lot of big names in hollywood have outright called them "not real cinema" with a lot of people agreeing, and as popular as they are, even fans that have watched most aren't that delusional IMO, most casual marvel fans know that most of these movies are subpar on their own, a lot of them only survive because of the shared universe, and have a lot of glaring flaws that people look past just because they wanna get to the next avengers movie. They're fun, but I don't think most people are that hyped over it, it's just casual mindless fun
As a fellow old person i agree about the hype, which was maginifcent. The film, however, sucked balls. Peoples nausa was found to have been caused by motion sickness from the style of camera work. The ending made me laugh out loud in an otherwise silent theatre.
80 for Brady will undoubtedly take the top spot due to Tom Brady's dimensional power and sheer tyranny of will to make his movie the greatest one of all time.
Lord of the Rings is much deeper than a simple villain. All throughout the film Frodo struggles with his mission to destroy the ring, because it has such a corrupting influence on who bears it. If it wasn’t for Sam to help him as a loyal friend Frodo would’ve gone mad
@@videotapes9965 So well said. The primary conflict that Frodo deals with is not vs Sauron but vs the ring and then ostensibly vs himself trying to resist being corrupted by its power.

From what I can tell, it was considered a notable film for the technical aspects of it, as opposed to the story. While well received, I don’t exactly see it on greatest film lists beyond its year of release (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).

Avatar is also one of the biggest reasons to buy a 3D television. It was an emerging fad when Avatar came out, and Avatar was legitimately great on a 3D TV. Unfortunately for 3D TVs, that was about the end of the reasons to get a 3D TV.

Love to see you branch into this kind of content. A lot of these are phenomenal movies that I think you are undervaluing. Mad Max, LOTR, and the Shining are incredible that can engaged with super deeply due to the ridiculous levels of detail. However, you are definitely spot on for Avatar and Top Gun Maverick.
I think Maverick was a tale of expectations. The first wave of people went in to a sequel for a movie that didn’t require one 36 years later thinking it would probably stink. Then it didn’t, and they were so pleasantly surprised they hyped it up. Then the second wave of people came in listening to that hype and called it overrated.
I never believed in the whole "this movie is overhyped" argument. At least I don't believe people should believe in it. You see a movie and you either like it or you don't. It shouldn't matter what other people say about it, just watch it and judge it based on it's own merit, not develop any preconceived notions of what you think the movie is going to be.
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak exactly. I do that with every movie. I dont like what everyone else likes bc they like it, it's just my own opinion. For example, I like EP 4: A New Hope and EP 6: Return of the Jedi more than EP 5: Empire Strikes Back. In fact, I don't like Empire at all, but if other people like that's great, that's their opinion.
As a massive LOTR fan, even I must admit that it's definitely not for everyone and considering I first saw the films at age 6 there's certainly a lot of nostalgia bias on my part.
I agree. I love them (The Hobbit movies much less so..), but they aren't for everyone, Barry being one of them. No big deal. He never said they were bad movies either, and they aren't. So no harm no foul. With that being said, I don't think they are overrated. He definitely overlooked the theme of becoming corrupt slowly, over time, and having a support system in place to help you out. He was more focused on action and the whole good-guy vs bad-guy thing. Sauron (basically Satan, corrupting minds slowly, over time) Sarumon, Orcs, the fallen men chasing the ring-bearer, Frodo and even Sean Bean...err Boromir, falling victim to it and slowly descending into madness. Anyone could have been a bad guy. Except for Samwise. He seemed immune. He only had the ring for safe-keepings to help Frodo.
@Sort of an Oaky Afterbirth I agree with this take, especially since he stated they were "properly rated" in a previous underrated overrated or properly rated video (if I'm remembering correctly)
Of course it's not for everyone. The LOTR is for people who hate logic, believable storytelling and quality dialogue but enjoy movies oversaturated with CGI, movie effects, needless action, unearned power and even more action.
Frozen is overrated. Everyone talks about Frozen like it’s the greatest Disney ever produced. I thought it was a generic Princess movie with princesses, queens, spells, magic, evil . All the usual stuff you see in Disney Princess movies. And the song from Frozen is the most annoying song I’ve ever heard from a movie , PERIOD!! I think it’s a vastly overrated film, especially compared to earlier Disney movies
Yes Barry, this is what we been waiting for, great content, hopefully we see more non sport related vids like this similar to your Halloween themed vids from like 2 years ago.
Wow, wasn’t expecting “The Shining” on this list. It’s sole purpose isn’t supposed to be a horror movie, and I do get the “it’s boring” part too. It’s definitely long, but very well done. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea tho
@@kevintrump7086 faxx it’s been the same cookie cutter marvel action level heist movie after F5. but honestly at this point ppl don’t have as high standards for them like a marvel movie so the franchise is now entertainment value.
Honestly I’m okay with all of these besides Empire and The Shining. Blair Witch Project at #1 is soooo based. I despise that movie with every fiber of my being
I will disagree with one thing. Rooster didn’t hate maverick because his dad’s death, he hated him because maverick pulled his application to the academy, setting him back years
Abysmally wrong on Maverick. No one’s saying it’s “one of the best movies ever,” just that it’s a really good movie that was desperately needed at the time it was released, as well as Cruise demanding and pushing for it being a theatrical release. Yes, it’s very heavy on the tropes, but that’s fine. It’s a really good movie with some of the best “fight scenes” we’ve seen in a movie, and with the context surrounding it’s release, it’s a fantastic film. It’s an 8/10 and one of the few movies I’d be willing to see again within like three years of seeing it one other time.
Some things were shocking or thrilling when released, and show their age when you look back at them. Not saying Blair Witch Project isn’t overrated (hadn’t heard of it until this video), but I would argue that something can age like milk and still be worth a good review.
@Toxic King that's like every qb, no one stays at their peak forever, and it's time to hang it up. But at least he had a great peak, Blair witch, not so much.
Some of these I can agree with and see your perspective and I know you are not big on The Shining and that type of genre but that movie, LOTR, and Mad Max Fury Road are all excellent movies that do amazing things respectively.
People don't love Scarface because it's a great movie. They love it because its so wonderfully awful. It's a lot like Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge. It's a terrible movie but it's filled with so many cheesy and iconic moments.
The thing people forget about avatar was how incredible the CGI was for the time. Especially in 3d/theaters. It grossed so much because it was a spectacle not some cinematic masterpiece
Fury Road was all about adrenaline and action, there's no reason to delve that deep into the main characters. Max's character has already been explained years ago. It's definitely not meant to be a drama. It was awesome! It did what exactly what it was supposed to for mad max fans. In fact it over delivered so much that any new sequels probably won't match up.
Aragorn Rodgers is supremely underrated. Gimli's Run game was on point in several crutial points. Gandalf with that great audible on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm saved the play switching it to a hand off end around sweep. Bill Balrog Bellicheck was not ready for that.
“Empire strikes back is boring” is the laziest criticism ever. If you’re not entertained by the battle on hoth to Luke training with yoda and lando betraying Han than maybe consider that you are the problem not the movie
WHAT MAD MAX????? edit: WHAT TOP GUN MAVERICK????? man idk what to say, both movies made me watch movies again at different time when i stopped going to the cinema because of how bad movies were at these times. I mean if it wasnt for Maverick i would have never went to see Nope or other movies that recently came out. To me Maverick is one of the greatest experience had because i went in with very low expectation and was very impressed by how nicely done it was. The action, the fairly concise but nicely told story, all of that was perfect to me. It is a movie who know what it should give you. Mad Max is 100% style of substance and im fine with it personally.
I have to say I agree with all of your choices except for Star Wars. I can admit that I grew up on the film and it was one of the things my dad and I bonded over so bias is definitely there. Great list though, I get a lot of push back when I say I don't think these films are as good as they're hyped up to be.
It’s the most boring Star Wars movie in the franchise and I’ve only seen it full thro 10 ten times at best, and a couple of those times I was struggling to stay awake. It’s literally the most overrated movie in the Star Wars franchise considering how boring it really is. Return of The Jedi and Revenge of The Sith are both better and ur not convincing me otherwise
@@coreyswan4747 Wouldn't try to, I also like both of those movies better and also admitted a lot of bias when I said I liked the movie. But again to be fair the only Star Wars movies I don't like are the new ones. The prequels hold a special place in my heart I even like Phantom Menace.
@@Pingly187 to me the force awakens isn’t that bad, definitely number 7 thou on the list, eh maybe even lower, cause Rogue One and Han Solo a Star Wars Story are both better than the 3 current ones, and The Last Jedi to me reminds me of Empire but has a little more action but still is horrible, and there’s a couple select scenes from the last one that I love that gives me goosebumps: c-3po scene and the moment Lando comes with the whole fleet, jus the powerful inspiration man, but here’s my list in order: 1. Revenge of The Sith 2. Return of The Jedi 3. Rogue One 4. A New Hope 5. Solo A Star Wars Story (mainly love my boy Woody Harrelson) 6. The Phantom Menice 7. Empire Strikes Back 8. Attack of The Clones 9. The Force Awakens 10. The Rise of SkyWalker 11. The Last Jedi
@@coreyswan4747 I haven't actually seen Solo yet, I did enjoy Rogue One though, see I really didn't like any of the Disney Era main series movies. I thought Force Awakens was pretty boring and had some contrivances I couldn't look past. I'd have to say.... 1. Revenge of the Sith 2. The Return of the Jedi 3. Empire Strikes Back 4. Phantom Menace 5. A New Hope 6. Clone Wars 7. Rogue One 8. Force Awakens And the last jedi and the rise of Skywalker are both F tier garbage that make me want to cry.
@@Pingly187 do you even know what Rogue One is truly about? Most Star Wars fans would say it’s at least a top 5 film, I think its worthy of 4 or 5, 7 is kinda insulting considering there wouldn’t have been a new hope if the story about Rogue One didn’t exist
Blair Witch Project was NOT the first found footage movie. That honor belongs to Cannibal Holocaust, which was so scary that the director was arrested for murder. I recommend giving it a watch
It’s nice to see you branch out. We will have to agree to disagree on the three LotR movies, but I agree with the rest of the list. To take it a step further, the fact that I think Empire is the best movie of the original Star Wars trilogy makes me rethink how good those original films actually were. A large part of my love for the original trilogy is undoubtedly nostalgia. 6 year old me loved Empire.
That's just his opinion though. The original trilogy is still great to this day and Empire is the best of the trilogy and probably the best Star Wars film in general.
Tbh i agree with his point about the movies having to much pointless traveling that don't add much to the plot, at least in the book the traveling and dialogue added lore and character depth, but in the films it was like i was watching 2 hours of a new Zealand tourist propaganda sometimes .
Blair Witch Project is good because it is grounded in reality and doesnt rely on cheap after effects to make it scary. It is the only good "found footage" horror film though - I do agree with that
Yeah I definitely agree with your #1 (I couldn't make it through the movie it was so boring) and the Blair Witch movie spawned the horrible genre of found footage that led to abominations involving "ghost hunting" and bigfoot. Only disagreement is the inclusion of The Shining, which I still think is one of the best horror movies ever.
Honestly impressed with how much I agree with this list. You nearly lost me with LotR but then I rememebered the action IS pretty slow outside of a couple epic battles. Overall great list, some of these aren’t bad, they just aren’t AS good as people say.
I would love to see another version of this video! Perhaps one about the top 10 most underrated movies of all time? For me personally John Carpenter’s The thing would be my most underrated as it is such an amazing film that nobody talks about
Hell naw not Empire. LOTR was pushing it but I can understand even if I disagree with, but your arguments don't hold up for ESB. They are barely in the slug, and even when they are it's not even boring. Flipping through the jungle, running into the fake Darth Vader, and getting some of the most quotable lines in all of cinema does not equate to doing nothing on Dagobah. I could maybe accept an argument if you say it's slightly overrated since I do think episode 4 is a bit better, but no way you have it in the top 10 of all time.
pretty solid list berry, the one i would have to disagree with you is on LOTR, yes the one thing about them is that are they are long, but its worth it in the end.
Empire Strikes Back: most overrated Star Wars movie. The Dark Knight: most overrated Superhero movie. 2001 a Space Odysse: most overrated Sci Fi movie. 28 Days Later: most overrated horror movie. Twister: most overrated Natural Disaster movie. The Shawshank Redemption: most overrated overall movie ever.
So many of these are good action, meh plot, which I guess isn’t your cup of tea, but man, I truly don’t understand needing a great plot/characters in every action movie. A movie can still be incredible with mediocre characters
The reason Top Gun Maverick is so hyped isn’t because it’s an objectively great film, it’s because nearly every film for the past 5 years has been so utterly dogshit that it’s great by comparison. It’s like dying of thirst in the desert. No matter how rancid and muddy that puddle of water is, the dehydrated man finds it immaculate
@@Howitgoes799 I’ll give you the first 3, Parasite was dog water, and I’ve never heard of Climax. But that’s also why I said “nearly every” movie and not “every” movie. There’s always going to be a gem in there, but for the past several years every movie feels like it’s either a superhero movie, a “reboot, remake, or reimagining”, or so chock full of political pandering that it’s unwatchable
Uh oh Barry, how the hell did you miss that the reason Miles Teller hates Mr Cruise ISN’T because of his father, it’s cuz Tommy boy pulled his application to the Naval Academy?
Funny enough that the eye of Sauron isn't in the books. Sauron is the villain not in flesh but in spirit. The ring is the real villain is his ring. As Saurons spirit is connected to the ring and he needs it to return to his physical form.

Barry as someone who likes both the psychological thriller and found footage film genres and actually agree with your statement in the film especially with Blair witch. I just want to ask you if there is any film in either genre that you actually enjoy since all the recommendations I get are fall flat by the third act.
YOOOO!!! This is my shit right here! As a huge sports and movie guy, I love that Barry is branching out and doing this. I’m a Packer fan and Brady hater so I’ve always loved Barry’s thoughts on Rodgers over Brady. A lot of my views align almost exactly with this video. I’m hyped for future vids like this. Barry’s turning into into a must watch each and every upload. I’m soo down for some offseason Movie McCockiner.
All the LotR films are perfect, except the third one. It just has WAAAY too many characters and plotlines, that the story becomes too cluttered when we only really care about the people in the original Fellowship. I think people only remember the legendary final battles and forget how jumbled the story was near the end.
there was a guy in my CSGO game a few days ago with your name but he didn't claim to hate tom Brady also you should branch out! you're hilarious no matter what
Heres my take on BWP, not that anyone asked or cares. My dad always told me it was the most scary movie to him when he was younger. He's not much of a movie guy but I always saw him as not being afraid of anything. It was never on any streaming services that I had so eventually in like 2020 I paid for it and watched it with my gf. She was scared because shes a female and gets scared by anything, but I literally sat there the whole time waiting for something to happen and then piecing it together at the end. You don't see a witch, theres nothing scary about structures in the woods, and the psychological part of it all is very lacklustre. For me, the most overrated movie is SHREK. Seems like over the last 10-15 years that movie has gotten so much clout for seemingly no reason. Avatar also is way overrated.
So many people are saying that BWP is overrated that I'm starting to think that it might not be anymore. Though the movie does improve if you subscribe to the theory that the whole movie was an elaborate plot from Josh and Mike to murder Heather. Clues are there, it adds another layer to the film, and it closes several possible plot holes.
This video did its job well. My reactions alternated between "THANK YOU, that movie is so overrated!!" vs. "HOW DARE YOU, that movie is a masterpiece!!!" lol

@@WoahLookAtThatFreak exactly. I do that with every movie. I dont like what everyone else likes bc they like it, it's just my own opinion. For example, I like EP 4: A New Hope and EP 6: Return of the Jedi more than EP 5: Empire Strikes Back. In fact, I don't like Empire at all, but if other people like that's great, that's their opinion.
I liked it, but it is overrated just by the fact that there are people claiming that it is better than the first one.
first wave of people saw it in imax. second wave saw it in a regular theater lol
If I’m gonna watch a compilation of L takes, I want them to be Barry’s😂. Keep doing shit like this
I think since Barry has said Tom Brady is the goat, he has been evolving into Skip Bayless.
As a massive LOTR fan, even I must admit that it's definitely not for everyone and considering I first saw the films at age 6 there's certainly a lot of nostalgia bias on my part.
When I first watched it I was pretty young to but couldn't care less about the plot I just fought and still do think the battle scenes are awsome
I agree. I love them (The Hobbit movies much less so..), but they aren't for everyone, Barry being one of them. No big deal. He never said they were bad movies either, and they aren't. So no harm no foul.
With that being said, I don't think they are overrated. He definitely overlooked the theme of becoming corrupt slowly, over time, and having a support system in place to help you out. He was more focused on action and the whole good-guy vs bad-guy thing. Sauron (basically Satan, corrupting minds slowly, over time) Sarumon, Orcs, the fallen men chasing the ring-bearer, Frodo and even Sean Bean...err Boromir, falling victim to it and slowly descending into madness. Anyone could have been a bad guy. Except for Samwise. He seemed immune. He only had the ring for safe-keepings to help Frodo.
@@troublej1035 for sure, my brothers and I would stand in front of the TV with nerf swords and act like we were in the battles too lmao.
@Sort of an Oaky Afterbirth I agree with this take, especially since he stated they were "properly rated" in a previous underrated overrated or properly rated video (if I'm remembering correctly)
Of course it's not for everyone. The LOTR is for people who hate logic, believable storytelling and quality dialogue but enjoy movies oversaturated with CGI, movie effects, needless action, unearned power and even more action.
Barry for every movie: "It INSISTS upon itself!"
Frozen is overrated.
Everyone talks about Frozen like it’s the greatest Disney ever produced. I thought it was a generic Princess movie with princesses, queens, spells, magic, evil . All the usual stuff you see in Disney Princess movies.
And the song from Frozen is the most annoying song I’ve ever heard from a movie , PERIOD!!
I think it’s a vastly overrated film, especially compared to earlier Disney movies
Yes Barry, this is what we been waiting for, great content, hopefully we see more non sport related vids like this similar to your Halloween themed vids from like 2 years ago.
☝️
Blair Witch is super overrated. It’s somewhat creepy, but it was overall a boring film with a bad ending.
Wow, wasn’t expecting “The Shining” on this list. It’s sole purpose isn’t supposed to be a horror movie, and I do get the “it’s boring” part too. It’s definitely long, but very well done. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea tho
Not a movie for ADD addled millennials.
In my opinion, Pulp Fiction is one of the most overrated films ever.
How could you omit "The Fast and the Furious" franchise?
Pretty much every one of the movies after fast five just felt forced and out of place
It's because no one actually reveres those movies as amazing or highly regarded.
@@kevintrump7086 faxx it’s been the same cookie cutter marvel action level heist movie after F5. but honestly at this point ppl don’t have as high standards for them like a marvel movie so the franchise is now entertainment value.
@@kevintrump7086 fast 5 was the best
@@andrewgrove1691 yeah fast 5 is my favorite one by far. It was everything Fast and the Furious should be.
Please say avatar, please say avatar, please say avatar
Honestly I’m okay with all of these besides Empire and The Shining. Blair Witch Project at #1 is soooo based. I despise that movie with every fiber of my being
I will disagree with one thing. Rooster didn’t hate maverick because his dad’s death, he hated him because maverick pulled his application to the academy, setting him back years
Top gun maverick is one of the most generic basic cliche movie of all time
Easily top 5 most overrated
Abysmally wrong on Maverick. No one’s saying it’s “one of the best movies ever,” just that it’s a really good movie that was desperately needed at the time it was released, as well as Cruise demanding and pushing for it being a theatrical release.
Yes, it’s very heavy on the tropes, but that’s fine. It’s a really good movie with some of the best “fight scenes” we’ve seen in a movie, and with the context surrounding it’s release, it’s a fantastic film.
It’s an 8/10 and one of the few movies I’d be willing to see again within like three years of seeing it one other time.
If you find Empire Strikes Back boring, you find 90% of movies boring
I think the Blair witch project really only worked when it was in the theaters. It has really aged like milk
a system horror movie
The Carson Wentz of horror movies, peaked when it came out and now has becomes a lost cause
Some things were shocking or thrilling when released, and show their age when you look back at them.
Not saying Blair Witch Project isn’t overrated (hadn’t heard of it until this video), but I would argue that something can age like milk and still be worth a good review.
@Toxic King that's like every qb, no one stays at their peak forever, and it's time to hang it up. But at least he had a great peak, Blair witch, not so much.
Honestly don't disagree with anything on this list. Keep fighting the fight against marijuana overdoses and premarital sex Barry.
Some of these I can agree with and see your perspective and I know you are not big on The Shining and that type of genre but that movie, LOTR, and Mad Max Fury Road are all excellent movies that do amazing things respectively.
People don't love Scarface because it's a great movie. They love it because its so wonderfully awful. It's a lot like Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge. It's a terrible movie but it's filled with so many cheesy and iconic moments.
Movies are an awesome topic and a never ending content goldmine, especially with someone with a comedic approach. Stick with it!
I agree with you on everything except The Shining and instead of Star Wars 5, the whole franchise is overrated.
I'm looking forward to your "best movies" list. Here's to hoping 80 for Brady is on it!🤞🤞🤞
The thing people forget about avatar was how incredible the CGI was for the time. Especially in 3d/theaters. It grossed so much because it was a spectacle not some cinematic masterpiece
Weirdly enough I agree with all of them except the LOTR trilogy
Fury Road was all about adrenaline and action, there's no reason to delve that deep into the main characters. Max's character has already been explained years ago. It's definitely not meant to be a drama. It was awesome! It did what exactly what it was supposed to for mad max fans. In fact it over delivered so much that any new sequels probably won't match up.
That lord of the rings take was worse than my marijuana addiction. Absolutely debilitating idk how I’m still living.
Aragorn Rodgers is supremely underrated. Gimli's Run game was on point in several crutial points. Gandalf with that great audible on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm saved the play switching it to a hand off end around sweep. Bill Balrog Bellicheck was not ready for that.
@@ryklatortuga4146cant forget about trick play Eowyn pulled against the witch king of agmar to take the lead.
“Empire strikes back is boring” is the laziest criticism ever. If you’re not entertained by the battle on hoth to Luke training with yoda and lando betraying Han than maybe consider that you are the problem not the movie
I like this Barry. Making content more than just sports is something I would love to see in the future.
WHAT MAD MAX?????
edit: WHAT TOP GUN MAVERICK?????
man idk what to say, both movies made me watch movies again at different time when i stopped going to the cinema because of how bad movies were at these times. I mean if it wasnt for Maverick i would have never went to see Nope or other movies that recently came out. To me Maverick is one of the greatest experience had because i went in with very low expectation and was very impressed by how nicely done it was. The action, the fairly concise but nicely told story, all of that was perfect to me. It is a movie who know what it should give you.
Mad Max is 100% style of substance and im fine with it personally.
I have to say I agree with all of your choices except for Star Wars. I can admit that I grew up on the film and it was one of the things my dad and I bonded over so bias is definitely there. Great list though, I get a lot of push back when I say I don't think these films are as good as they're hyped up to be.
It’s the most boring Star Wars movie in the franchise and I’ve only seen it full thro 10 ten times at best, and a couple of those times I was struggling to stay awake. It’s literally the most overrated movie in the Star Wars franchise considering how boring it really is. Return of The Jedi and Revenge of The Sith are both better and ur not convincing me otherwise
@@coreyswan4747 Wouldn't try to, I also like both of those movies better and also admitted a lot of bias when I said I liked the movie. But again to be fair the only Star Wars movies I don't like are the new ones. The prequels hold a special place in my heart I even like Phantom Menace.
@@Pingly187 to me the force awakens isn’t that bad, definitely number 7 thou on the list, eh maybe even lower, cause Rogue One and Han Solo a Star Wars Story are both better than the 3 current ones, and The Last Jedi to me reminds me of Empire but has a little more action but still is horrible, and there’s a couple select scenes from the last one that I love that gives me goosebumps: c-3po scene and the moment Lando comes with the whole fleet, jus the powerful inspiration man, but here’s my list in order:
1. Revenge of The Sith
2. Return of The Jedi
3. Rogue One
4. A New Hope
5. Solo A Star Wars Story (mainly love my boy Woody Harrelson)
6. The Phantom Menice
7. Empire Strikes Back
8. Attack of The Clones
9. The Force Awakens
10. The Rise of SkyWalker
11. The Last Jedi
@@coreyswan4747 I haven't actually seen Solo yet, I did enjoy Rogue One though, see I really didn't like any of the Disney Era main series movies. I thought Force Awakens was pretty boring and had some contrivances I couldn't look past. I'd have to say....
1. Revenge of the Sith
2. The Return of the Jedi
3. Empire Strikes Back
4. Phantom Menace
5. A New Hope
6. Clone Wars
7. Rogue One
8. Force Awakens
And the last jedi and the rise of Skywalker are both F tier garbage that make me want to cry.
@@Pingly187 do you even know what Rogue One is truly about? Most Star Wars fans would say it’s at least a top 5 film, I think its worthy of 4 or 5, 7 is kinda insulting considering there wouldn’t have been a new hope if the story about Rogue One didn’t exist
Blair Witch Project was NOT the first found footage movie. That honor belongs to Cannibal Holocaust, which was so scary that the director was arrested for murder. I recommend giving it a watch
It’s nice to see you branch out. We will have to agree to disagree on the three LotR movies, but I agree with the rest of the list. To take it a step further, the fact that I think Empire is the best movie of the original Star Wars trilogy makes me rethink how good those original films actually were. A large part of my love for the original trilogy is undoubtedly nostalgia. 6 year old me loved Empire.
Episode 3 is the GOAT
That's just his opinion though. The original trilogy is still great to this day and Empire is the best of the trilogy and probably the best Star Wars film in general.
Tbh i agree with his point about the movies having to much pointless traveling that don't add much to the plot, at least in the book the traveling and dialogue added lore and character depth, but in the films it was like i was watching 2 hours of a new Zealand tourist propaganda sometimes .
@@pigskin1287it was not even the best 70s movies with Harrison Ford.
@@jgnogueira Empire wasn’t a 70’s movie
Couldn't agree more with # 1. It was the first and only movie I actually thought about asking for my money back from the theater.
Just what we need a new Barry vid
I love you for putting Blair witch at #1. One of the most hyped up movies ever and it's fucking ass.
i need an xfl week 1 review barry!
I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Blair Witch Project is good because it is grounded in reality and doesnt rely on cheap after effects to make it scary. It is the only good "found footage" horror film though - I do agree with that
Top gun Maverick was a good movie elevated to great status because of how trash and woke everything else from last year was.
Oh god, not one of y’all.
@@Howitgoes799 they're the ones ruining cinema because these executives keep listening to them and paying them to make TH-cam channels
Yeah I definitely agree with your #1 (I couldn't make it through the movie it was so boring) and the Blair Witch movie spawned the horrible genre of found footage that led to abominations involving "ghost hunting" and bigfoot. Only disagreement is the inclusion of The Shining, which I still think is one of the best horror movies ever.
Yeah, horror is my favorite film genre overall, but found footage is my least favorite sub-genre of horror.
The hail satan scene at the end of rosemary’s baby is funny as hell
That's what I'm saying!
I love this movie! Ira Levin is a
Fantastic author... Barry is
Wrong about this one
Honestly impressed with how much I agree with this list. You nearly lost me with LotR but then I rememebered the action IS pretty slow outside of a couple epic battles. Overall great list, some of these aren’t bad, they just aren’t AS good as people say.
June 19th 2016 was a lovely day Barry, thank you for reminding me!
Good ranking honestly. However I feel Requiem For a Dream definitely needs to be on here
I would love to see another version of this video! Perhaps one about the top 10 most underrated movies of all time? For me personally John Carpenter’s The thing would be my most underrated as it is such an amazing film that nobody talks about
Hell naw not Empire. LOTR was pushing it but I can understand even if I disagree with, but your arguments don't hold up for ESB. They are barely in the slug, and even when they are it's not even boring. Flipping through the jungle, running into the fake Darth Vader, and getting some of the most quotable lines in all of cinema does not equate to doing nothing on Dagobah. I could maybe accept an argument if you say it's slightly overrated since I do think episode 4 is a bit better, but no way you have it in the top 10 of all time.
Blair Witch was filmed in the woods less than a mile from my house. Once I learned this, you bet your ass it started to scare me a lot more.
pretty solid list berry, the one i would have to disagree with you is on LOTR, yes the one thing about them is that are they are long, but its worth it in the end.
Putting Scarface is actually kind of crazy
It’s fun to watch but that accent was rough
Nah, it's not even one of the best crime film's.
Guarantee the OP can't even tell us the plot
The Blair witch project isn’t about a movie with a witch. It’s about to guys trying to murder a girl and stage it like it was a witch
I actually fell asleep during top gun maverick.
Empire Strikes Back: most overrated Star Wars movie.
The Dark Knight: most overrated Superhero movie.
2001 a Space Odysse: most overrated Sci Fi movie.
28 Days Later: most overrated horror movie.
Twister: most overrated Natural Disaster movie.
The Shawshank Redemption: most overrated overall movie ever.
football season hasnt even been over for 2 weeks and barry decides to just trigger anyone he can lmfao
Barry bro you lost me at Mad Max: Fury Road
Barry would appreciate Rosemary's Baby more if he realized it was about the conception of Tom Brady.
So many of these are good action, meh plot, which I guess isn’t your cup of tea, but man, I truly don’t understand needing a great plot/characters in every action movie. A movie can still be incredible with mediocre characters
The reason Top Gun Maverick is so hyped isn’t because it’s an objectively great film, it’s because nearly every film for the past 5 years has been so utterly dogshit that it’s great by comparison. It’s like dying of thirst in the desert. No matter how rancid and muddy that puddle of water is, the dehydrated man finds it immaculate
Yeah your right on that part I fully agree.
What are you talking about? There have been some pretty great movies that have came out during these past 5 years.
@@Howitgoes799 name 5
@@All_Beef_Hotdog Everything Everywhere all at one, The Lighthouse, Puss in boots: The last wish (surprisingly), Parasite, and Climax.
@@Howitgoes799 I’ll give you the first 3, Parasite was dog water, and I’ve never heard of Climax. But that’s also why I said “nearly every” movie and not “every” movie. There’s always going to be a gem in there, but for the past several years every movie feels like it’s either a superhero movie, a “reboot, remake, or reimagining”, or so chock full of political pandering that it’s unwatchable
Uh oh Barry, how the hell did you miss that the reason Miles Teller hates Mr Cruise ISN’T because of his father, it’s cuz Tommy boy pulled his application to the Naval Academy?
Funny enough that the eye of Sauron isn't in the books. Sauron is the villain not in flesh but in spirit. The ring is the real villain is his ring. As Saurons spirit is connected to the ring and he needs it to return to his physical form.
The Blair Witch Project was a "you had to be there" film to understand why it was so popular
Yup I agree, wouldn't watch it today but at the time it was unique and was a talking point for just about any movie goer in its day.
@@carinadominguez22 Nobody is getting too excited here so you can chill with that petty stuff and work out your personal life off platform.

My favorite line from the Blair witch Project was one of the characters said they threw the map in the river, while exploring unknown Woodland areas.

Barry, you're a national hero but you lost me when you put the LOTR on this list. Unfortunately we are enemies now, hope you understand.
Barry as someone who likes both the psychological thriller and found footage film genres and actually agree with your statement in the film especially with Blair witch. I just want to ask you if there is any film in either genre that you actually enjoy since all the recommendations I get are fall flat by the third act.
YOOOO!!! This is my shit right here! As a huge sports and movie guy, I love that Barry is branching out and doing this. I’m a Packer fan and Brady hater so I’ve always loved Barry’s thoughts on Rodgers over Brady. A lot of my views align almost exactly with this video. I’m hyped for future vids like this. Barry’s turning into into a must watch each and every upload. I’m soo down for some offseason Movie McCockiner.
From an objective standpoint, I don't diasagree with any. But personally I like Avatar and The Shining
I 100% agree with all but Rosemary’s Baby. The entire movie has you thinking one thing then the very end is a complete surprise.
You considering having reviews of the Rock’s XFL? That St Louis Battlehawks comeback was insane.
All the LotR films are perfect, except the third one.
It just has WAAAY too many characters and plotlines, that the story becomes too cluttered when we only really care about the people in the original Fellowship. I think people only remember the legendary final battles and forget how jumbled the story was near the end.
I disagree with a lot of your opinions but I can respect them anyway. To each his own.
The Blair Witch Project is a lot scarier when you realize the plot is the two guys murdering the girl.
there was a guy in my CSGO game a few days ago with your name but he didn't claim to hate tom Brady
also you should branch out! you're hilarious no matter what
I wonder your opinion on the most underrated as well could be a very interesting list.
This was great, loved the NFL playoff percentage stat line; Forgot that it was in that film.
Heres my take on BWP, not that anyone asked or cares.
My dad always told me it was the most scary movie to him when he was younger. He's not much of a movie guy but I always saw him as not being afraid of anything. It was never on any streaming services that I had so eventually in like 2020 I paid for it and watched it with my gf. She was scared because shes a female and gets scared by anything, but I literally sat there the whole time waiting for something to happen and then piecing it together at the end. You don't see a witch, theres nothing scary about structures in the woods, and the psychological part of it all is very lacklustre.
For me, the most overrated movie is SHREK. Seems like over the last 10-15 years that movie has gotten so much clout for seemingly no reason. Avatar also is way overrated.
“Number 6) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy”
Minus 50 respect
"Fargo" (1996) for me is the most overrated movie i have ever seen in my life
So many people are saying that BWP is overrated that I'm starting to think that it might not be anymore. Though the movie does improve if you subscribe to the theory that the whole movie was an elaborate plot from Josh and Mike to murder Heather. Clues are there, it adds another layer to the film, and it closes several possible plot holes.
That why Revenge of the Sith is actually the best Star Wars movie
This video did its job well. My reactions alternated between "THANK YOU, that movie is so overrated!!" vs. "HOW DARE YOU, that movie is a masterpiece!!!" lol
God dammit Barry I was with you until Rosemary’s Baby, that movie is fantastic
The Blair witch is so true I have never been so confused watching a “horror” movie
"...you almost certainly eat crayons." Ever a savage with the burns, our Barry.
