Totally with you on Gump. I need my inspirational heroes to do more than just show up.
I loved Titanic when it first came out, but noticed that for all the fanfare it seemed to have dropped off the cultural radar over the last few years. Then a couple weeks ago I caught a few minutes of it on cable and it seemed less impressive.
My other thumbs downs would include: Dances with Wolves, Driving Miss Daisy, Platoon (it's not bad, just overrated I think), and The French Connection, which, like a lot of '70s cop dramas (Dirty Harry is another) hasn't aged well.
