Heh heh -- nothing like an Overrated Film List to get the little red laser targets buzzing around your chest.
I could quibble about a number of these (and admittedly, I do agree with a lot of the choices), but I only have two comments:
I think saying GREASE is overrated is sorta missing the point. I think it's fun as hell, but I don't know anyone who puts it on a pedestal or anything. It's like cotton candy; sure it's yummy, but no one calls it haute cuisine.
And I think you got your sentence about 2001 backwards: Great, but not that influential.
That would be awesome if they released a 120 min version of Hero. I saw the 95 min edit, and it's one of the best movies of the year; I'd love to see what I was missing.
Wow, I didn't realize Netflix carried so many silent movies. And I'm quite humbled that you've seen them all. (I mean, I thought I'd seen a lot of movies, but my 1900-1930 list is meager at best.)
It wasn't until #21 that I'd even seen one of these: THE SAGA OF THE VIKING WOMEN..., which I saw on MST3K, so I don't even know if that counts.

Good luck, and keep going with the project!
