What is the most AVERAGE movie of all time?

Everybody always talks about the BEST and WORST movies of all time.

Most underrated.

Most overrated.

So bad it's good.

Best movies of particular genre's (action, comedy).

But... what is the most MEDIOCRE movie of all time? What movie is a solid 5 on a 0 to 10 scale?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

1. Gone With The Wind

[Glorfindel]

2. The Bridges of Madison County

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. Throw in The English Patient

I just don't find adultery tragically romantic (or romantically tragic). Sew your wild oats before you tie the knot.

4. Mmmmm I'll go with "Golden Child" Eddie Murphy

I used to walk into rooms when I was in the Army where people were watching a movie. This movie, and I’m a huge Eddie Murphy fan, is just so blah it’s unremarkable

[OriginalGeek]

11. I I I

want the kniiiife!

[NBachers]

5. John Carpenter's Village of the Damned - "Just keep acting until we're finished"

The Shining (The Grinding Bore)

Batman Returns (Flaccid and Bloated)

[Tommy Carcetti]

19. I found The Dark Knight to be highly overrated.

But that's a little different than average or mediocre, IMHO.

6. Anything not in space or on an archeology dig that Harrison Ford's been in.

[Earth-shine]

7. All three of JJ Abrams Star Wars movies were solidly mediocre, but especially the last one.

Abrams was a big Star Wars fan, too.

I say they are mediocre because I did not really enjoy watching them, but somehow, I felt I had to ... twice.

Abrams admitted he was not a Star Trek fan.

His Star Trek movies were quite good.

[First Speaker]

8. The "tasteful" MGM movies of the Golden Age...

...Andy Hardy, The Good Earth, Spencer Tracy being "sincere", Mrs Miniver, that sort of thing. Films that made Lace Curtain Irish families happy--hey, my Dad's family was Lace Curtain Irish--that never bothered the censors for a moment, and in which nobody ever lost their temper, sweated, or had to go to the bathroom.

13. People sitting around in suits during the day smoking

When we first met my wife watched some of those. She asked if I’d ever seen a few and I responded that I can’t imagine watching those types of movies.

10. The 'cowboy' flicks circa 40's and 50's

Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger, etc

Fun when you were kid at the Saturday afternoon picture orgies, but definitely a 5 now.

[csziggy]

14. As a horse, lover I have to disagree!

If you were a horse crazy kid as I was, those movies are 10s just for the horses, even now as an old, former horse lover. I have no idea about their other merits since I only ever looked at the horses.

15. Seven Pounds

[Zorro]

16. The Beastmaster

50% on the Tomatometer, 54% Audience likes. Can’t get much closer to average than that.

It was once said that HBO stood for “Hey, Beastmaster’s on!”

[cinematicdiversions]

22. The Late Tanya Roberts alone makes Beastmaster well above average. NT

[lastlib]

17. Any Western with Audie Murphy.

[Tommy Carcetti]

18. Whatever generic rom-com of the month happens to be gracing the theaters.

I dunno...Runaway Bride?



Sweet Home Alabama?



Maid in Manhattan?



How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days?



Anything starring Katherine Heigl or Josh Duhamel?

Something like that. You catch my drift.

[Tikki]

20. I have to go with 1986's..."The Money Pit"...

I am a Tom Hanks fan, but..that movie was average.

21. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde

I liked the first Legally Blonde more than I thought I would. It was a cartoon true, but the lead character was well drawn and the whole enterprise had a sweetness about it. The sequel’s problem is not so much it does not have also have these strengths. The sequel’s problem is it takes place in Alice’s Wonderland filled with Mad Hatters where conservative Republican congressman talks about how they love their gay dog and horrible hairdressing gets votes.
