These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

Shakespeare in Love

Did you know that Shakespeare in Love won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1998? For a love story that was neither convincing nor particularly well-scripted, this came as a surprise to most. Although it's supposed to mirror the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, it left a lot to be desired. 

Titanic

Some critics think that the setting of the Titanic was way too cheesy, even for a romance movie.

It totally doesn't deserve the praise it's gotten.
