Underrated Movies

[Midnightangel]

I agree with Jack Reacher. I think the problem was they kind of advertised it as an action film and it was more of a mystery with some action thrown in.

Still, it was better than it got credit for.

Dark City...the director's cut, not the theatrical version, where the whole plot is given away by an opening narrative that the studio insisted on.

And yes, that's a Dark City character in my av.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Night at the Roxbury. "Emilioooooooooo!"

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

This movie when I first watched I didn't think muchof it, but then when you watch a 2nd time & so on, you realize it's a great film. In the end I ended up loving this film, one of my favorites & underrated IMO.

And man Li Gong is fucken beautiful.

Top Secret Val Kilmer's first film a spoof of the Elvis and Spy films

Thunderheart Val Kilmer as a half indian FBI agent investigating a murder on an Indian reservation.

Love Stinks Cheap romantic comedy that takes about 30 minutes to set up, but then had my wife and me in tears for the rest.

I agree with these. Love Stinks is F'in funny! I'm a big fan of the 3 B's.

The movie, Rush. 1991.

Undercover agents being caught up in drugs. Awesome film.

Jason Patric, and Jennifer Jason Lee. Greg Allman played a drug dealer. Music by Eric Clapton, including "Tears in Heaven."

Primal Fear was great (Richard Gere, Edward Norton).

Freddy Got Fingered...I actually agree here. This should be more of a cult classic than it is. I LMAO many times watching it (and felt bad about myself after)

Fear and Loathing only scores a 50 from critics, at Rotten Tomatoes. That is an injustice. ...a bunch of constipated fools.

Blasphemous. Fuck them.

Gross Point Blank

The Big Lebowski

Great White Hype

 

[RoboticDreams]

Sunshine...I'm surprised this excellent sci fi film isn't more popular. It received good critical reviews, but is vastly underrated by the public.

Sunshine (2007) - IMDb

Great movie. I even downloaded the soundtrack.

Xanadu.

It was a bit campy - but the script wasn't finished. Not sure who's bright idea it was to shoot a movie without a finished script.

It was made to capitalize on the roller skating craze that was the late 70's.

I think it was Gene Kelly's last movie and originally he didn't want to do any dancing in it since he'd done so much of that during his career. The scene where he's dancing with Olivia was actually the last scene shot.

Even at his age, you can see he's still light on his feet and very graceful.

The movie bombed. I think one critic said, "Xana-don't" on his review.

Soundtrack was monster, though.

Still, one of my favorite movies. Like the story, music and dancing. I always cry at the end.

Trivia - "Shabadoo" is in the last dance sequence. He's wearing a Zoot suit. No 'Ozone' with him, though.

Count Alucard
A 1943 horror movie about the son of Dracula that shades his past by spelling his name backwards.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Not sure whether it is underrated, but I had never heard of Silver Linings Playbook before recently catching it on cable. I'm normally not a big fan of comedy movies, but it is a very quirky, original story. Great cast, too.
