15 Most Over-Rated Movies Of The 21st Century

Scooping the number one spot as the best film of the 21st century on the BBC’s list and consequently the most over-hyped movie of the new millennium, David Lynch’s feverish, dreamy mind f*ck Mulholland Drive is the director at his most Lynchiest. The default favourite of seemingly most artsy-fartsy film critics, the film offers enough fodder for at least a thousand film theory dissertations and pseudo-intellectual discussions on what the hell it actually means.

While we could talk ‘til the cows come home about non-linear narratives and Lynchian dream logic, Mulholland Drive – quite possibly one of the most over-analysed films of the 21st century too – is essentially the psychosis-induced, nightmarish reverie of Naomi Watts’ sexually frustrated failed actress nonsensically pieced together from an unfinished, rejected Lynch TV pilot.
