The ones I dont agree with are Toy Story, Empire Strikes Back, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Because the first was innovative in CGI and for that I think it earned praise (although now it is dated).

Empire Strikes Back, it gets too much praise for its story now-but in 1980 it really did deserve praise for the FX innovations. It did show things you hadnt seen before. But now it is dated too.
I dont think One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is overpraised, it doesn't get much attention compared to the others.

But the others--yeah, I think for differing reasons they get an overdose of praise.
Kubrick films are massively promoted lately for some reason.

Caligula: Do you think I'm mad?...Sometimes I think that I'm going mad. Do you — be honest with me — has that thought ever crossed your mind?

Claudius: Never. Never. The idea is preposterous. You set the standard of sanity for the whole world.

Pretty much disagree with every one of your choices (except for #1 lol) . But you could make a case that The Last Jedi isn't highly rated at all with movie goers (therefore it being impossible to be "overrated" ) . It didn't come close to making as much money as TFA & the audience score was pretty mediocre too.

So, 21 of 25 is a batting average of .840, enough to be the best baseball player ever.
