Plus...

Anything directed by Danny Boyle (especially the pathetically unscary 28 Days Later, I'll leave out Shallow Grave though)
Anything directed by Gore Verbinsky
Anything directed by Tony Scott, except Deja Vu
Anything written/directed by the Farrelly Brothers EXCEPT Kingpin
Anything written by Joe Esterhaz (especially A Time to Kill, insanely dumb courtroom drama)
Anything starring Mike Myers
Anything starring Jim Carrey
Anything starring the eminently charmless James MacAvoy
Anything starring Forrest Whitaker
Team America: World Police (saying the gags in this are hit & miss is being generous)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
In the Bedroom (not so much a huge film, but critically acclaimed)
Titanic
Gladiator
Rain Man
Hallam Foe
Jerry Maguire
Kill Bill
Every James Cameron movie except the original Terminator and the decent, but flawed True Lies.
It's a Wonderful Life
The Sound of Music
The Departed
The Ring - remake
Ju-On: The Grudge - original (the remake sucked too, but everybody knows that)
Y Tu Mama Tambien (hipsters/scenefags worship this movie... bored me to death)
Pan's Labyrinth (REALLY wanted to like this one)

Extreme examples of overratedness in bold.
Lol, if you watch a film that's both old and musical you're guaranteed a bad film. Why watch it?

I agree about Jim Carey, never found him funny in anything.
But I wouldn't say I didn't like "anything" with him because The Truman Show is a very good film.
