PS: The IMDb Poll Board User’s Top 10 Scorned, but Successful Movies
Intro:
Did you ever see a movie that got hyped in general public you can't understand ... or stand? The IMDb poll board users present their top 10 lists of movies they dislike, but have at least a 6.5/10 or higher rating with more than 10.000 ratings on the IMDb database.
Which user's bashing-list do you think is the most interesting?
Tell us here.
Suggestions:
This is a very sensible poll, every user can post his 10 favorite movie snubbings. It must be 10! For each suggestion there has to be a conclusion in which the user describes each movie's qualities in maximal five words. Please look at my example. That's the form I want to see. When we suggest, I beg for not judging each other for each ones personal taste, which is shown in that idea. I accept all opinions on each movie you give me, but as I said - please try to break it down in max. 5 words.
No tv-series. Animated ok! Documentations ok! Feature films, not short films.
List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls082717876/
Poll: TBD

This is a really fun idea but 1) what you're intending is the opposite of "snubbed" and 2) I'd suggest not requiring (or even, in most cases, using) the conclusions in the way that you describe: you have some funny ones but most people probably wouldn't be able to come up with ten clever bumper stickers (I certaintly wouldn't) so the conclusions will end up being just a whole lot of synonyms for "bad" or "stupid." I thought your idea for using conclusions in your "ten best horror films of the 2010s" poll was great because several of the conclusions were quite insightful and that made that poll particularly compelling but I think your specific recipe for conclusions here would have the opposite effect.

Hi Breumaster,
I am confused whether to choose high rated movies (rating above 8) that I don't like (my rating below 6) or not so high rated movies(6.5 to 8) that I dislike (my rating below 1-5). It seems I am one of that person whose ratings mostly matches with IMDb.
What would you prefer?
‐‐------‐----------------‐----------------------------------------------
I think you are overwhelmed with suggestions here and I am not an expert either.
Read below section for suggestions, just adding my thoughts.
The mention of Oscars snub. I feel Oscar snubs are mostly good movies missing out on winning which is opposite to what you might be asking. Maybe you could say "Each year we read about unworthy movies snubbing the place of good candidates at the Oscars.", if that is what you meant.
Discredit might be a good replacement of Disparagement. Also, if you want to keep Snub word, maybe you could keep the title along the lines of "Members Snubbing High Rated Movies"
You could replace "Don't like the most" with "Dislike the most" and use the same in the intro and replace "Did you never see" with "Did you ever see".

The Avengers (2012)
The Theory of Everything (2014)
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
The Shape of Water (2017)
In the Fade (2017)
Deadpool (2016)
The Revenant (2015)
Minority Report (2002)
The Imitation Game (2014)
Boyhood (2014)
I couldn't possibly give a fair conclusion for these movies in just a few words. In case you later adopt ruby's idea, here's a conclusion that sums everything up:
What makes a movie contemptible often has less to do with the level of talent involved, or technical merits, and more with its spirit.

I re-titled the list to:
The IMDb Poll Board User's Top 10 Scornt Succesful Movies
... for making it look better.

PS: The IMDb Poll Board User’s Top 10 Scornt, but Successful Movies
Scornt isn't a real word. I suspect you mean scorned?
Try the following rewording for the title.
IMDb Poll Board User’s Top 10 Most Overrated Films Made
Also: Which users bashing list do you think is the most interesting?
Should be simplified to: Which of the following user's list do you think is the most interesting?

Thank you, riverotter.
I restored your Top 10 from my E-mails. There is missing a conclusion like in the other options. You can still write it, I'll pick it from my mails and add it.
