Underrated Films: Your Opinion

[spider-neil]

predator 2
fright night 2
ghostbusters 2

[bullets]

Hellboy 2

The Corpse Bride , you never hear much about it but I loved it.

[Doctor Jones]

Ang Lee's Hulk

[Bunker]

Spielberg's War of the Worlds.

[Doctor Jones]

Spielberg's War of the Worlds.

Good one.

[The Joker]

Copycat. It's a great 90's thriller with Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter about a serial killer copying the murders of famous serial killers like Dahmer, Bundy, and the Boston strangler.

[Max J Power]

After Hours (compared to other Scorsese films, anyway)
The Brady Bunch Movie
Dark City
For Your Consideration
Gattaca
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Glengarry Glen Ross
I'm Not There
The Informant!
The Ladykillers remake
The Life Aquatic (I need to rewatch, but I remember thinking it was better than its general reception said)
A Mighty Wind
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Pleasantville
Quantum of Solace
Quiz Show
Radio Days (a lot of Woody Allen movies were acclaimed when they came out but are practically obscure now)
Reversal of Fortune
Solaris remake
Sweet and Lowdown

[Tron Bonne]

The Fountain (I honestly don't care what anyone says, I love this movie and think it's one of the best meditations of death and acceptance in any medium)
All That Jazz (I know it was nominated for several big awards for its time, but I think it's slipped far too much off the radar nowadays)
Hulk (I can actually understand why some weren't fond of this, but I still think it's quite good)
Ghostbusters 2 (This one I never understood the disdain for. It's not as good as the first by any means, but still very good and fun in its own right).

[returntovoid]

Predator (It's a classic among Sci-Fi fans and it should be on AFI's list of 100 Thrills but unfortunately, it's not)

Batman Returns (Most misunderstood Batman film, keeps the fanbase and audiences divided. When it's actually one of the best of the series, up their with The Dark Knight, Batman Begins and Batman '89)

[Blackman]

Speilberg's War of the Worlds
The Wackness
DOnnie Brasco

[Doctor Jones]

Cape Fear (Scorsese remake)
Shutter Island
Book of Eli
Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut

[Max J Power]

Speilberg's War of the Worlds
The Wackness
DOnnie Brasco
I can't believe I forgot that one on my list.

[childeroland]

Lust Caution--a wonderful romantic spy thriller that, aside from some leering notices for its sexual content, came and went in the U.S.

Memento Mori--a superb coming-of-age horror story. One of the first Korean commercial films to depict lesbian characters

Millennium Mambo--not really underrated, but considering its quality it should have gotten as much attention as Three Times and Flight of the Red Balloon

[Spider-X]

Serenity

[Randal Graves]

Quantum of Solace
Rob Zombie's Halloween II director's cut

Those are the most recent ones I can think of.

[AllyBabble]

I am Legend
Spider-man 3
Daredevil
Batman Forever
Falling Down - I think this movie is a stone cold classic, MD's best performance, I actually completely forget it's Douglas when watching the film.
The Matrix Reloaded
Quantum of Solace
Watchmen
Signs
Punisher War Zone - c'mon, it is a right good laugh

[Ipodman]

Cape Fear (Scorsese remake)
Shutter Island
Book of Eli
Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut

To me, Book of Eli wasnt underrated... just polarised

[Crockett]

Pi - The first movie Aronofsky directed turns out to be one of his best.
The Conversation - the movie mostly never get mentioned when talking about Francis Ford Coppola's best movie.
Letters from Iwo Jima - It's a great war movie and I like that it focused on the event of Battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese side.
Fanny och Alexander (Fanny and Alexander) - I love this movie.
Paths of Glory - For me it was Kubrick's first masterpiece.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Artificial Intelligence
Idiocracy
Blade

[misjuevos]

the 13th warrior, never read the book, but i really enjoyed the movie.
mean guns, straight to dvd but was a good movie as well.
the hunted with christopher lambert was also a good samurai vs ninja movie. john lone and yoshio harada were great in it.

- Batman Begins
- The Conversation
- The Exorcist
- Kill Bill, Vol. 2.

[El Payaso]

Spielberg's War of the Worlds.

I agree. All that movie needed was a great ending.

[Cracker Jack]

Rocky Balboa

To me it's could go Rocky, Rocky II and then Rocky Balboa and I'd be a happy camper.

[returntovoid]

- Batman Begins

Little Women ('90s version)
Pride and Prejudice (2005 version)
The Mask of Zorro
Wyatt Earp
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Up in the Air

That's a pretty good list.

[Bunker]

I'd venture to say every movie Spielberg has made in the last 10 years, with the exception of Indy 4, is underrated.

[A Necessary Evil]

Batman Returns
Spider-Man 3
Home Alone 2
Jurassic Park 3
Jurassic Park 2
Matrix Revolutions and Reloaded
Hook
Star Wars Prequels

[Max J Power]

I'd venture to say every movie Spielberg has made in the last 10 years, with the exception of Indy 4, is underrated.
I might call Indy 4 underrated too. Or at least overhated.

[Doctor Jones]

Same here. I don't want to get into a debate, but it pretty much got the same reception TOD got when it first came out minus the disgust from the violence.

Oh, and Rope from Hitchcock. One of my top favorites. I like it better than his regarded classics such as Vertigo and North by Northwest.

[Wesley Dodds]

Synechdoche, New York.

Herzog's Nosferatu.

The Mist.

Dark City.

The Rocketeer.

Cable Guy.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico.

-It seemed like Indy 4 got pretty good reviews from critics, but fans were disappointed. And we all know how disappointed fans are. Thanks, Internet.
-Yes, Rope is fantastic.

[Cousin Itt]

Time After Time.

[Wesley Dodds]

Coppola's Rumblefish.

[El Payaso]

Same here. I don't want to get into a debate, but it pretty much got the same reception TOD got when it first came out minus the disgust from the violence.

Oh, and Rope from Hitchcock. One of my top favorites. I like it better than his regarded classics such as Vertigo and North by Northwest.

I wasn't aware that The Rope wasn't considered one of Hitchcock's best. It certainly is a flawless masterpiece.

[chesslover]

Blind Fury
the Girl Who Leapt Through Time

[Union Jack]

big trouble in little china
van helsing - i enjoyed it!
the league of extraordinary gentlemen.
superman 3

[The Jester]

The Jacket and Blindness

[bullets]

Falling Down - I think this movie is a stone cold classic, MD's best performance, I actually completely forget it's Douglas when watching the film.


He was brilliant in that movie , I love the mcdonalds scene.

[Union Jack]

^^^ agreed :D

[Ipodman]

Enchanted

[Max J Power]

^Definitely.

[spider-neil]

hellboy 1 and 2

I freaking LOVE both movies but they get a rough ride with critics

[LOBO3315a]

Return to Oz. An absolutely wonderful telling of the 2nd and 3rd Oz books. Great casting, decent special effects, and NO SINGING!

Sad that it came during Disney's "dry spell" in the 80's.

[spider-neil]

last action hero. not a bad movie but had the misfortune of coming out the same week as jurassic park. OUCH!

[Doctor Jones]

I wasn't aware that The Rope wasn't considered one of Hitchcock's best. It certainly is a flawless masterpiece.

I've noticed how it's never mentioned on the best of lists. Everyone always talks about Vertigo, Rear Window, and North by Northwest, but not Rope which is kind of a shame.

[Doctor Jones]

-It seemed like Indy 4 got pretty good reviews from critics, but fans were disappointed. And we all know how disappointed fans are. Thanks, Internet.
-Yes, Rope is fantastic.

It did. It's in the 70's percentile on RT.

I mean who wasn't disapointed by TOD when that came out? People were expecting another Raiders type of film and they got the exact opposite of it. Now no one seems to have a problem with it.

[Sentinel X]

hellboy 1 and 2

I freaking LOVE both movies but they get a rough ride with critics They both have over a 80% on rottentomatoes so generally critics loved it.
A couple of mine:

The Hulk
K-Pax
Jumanji
The mist
black hawk down

[Max J Power]

It did. It's in the 70's percentile on RT.

I think a lot of the people loving TOD now saw it when they were kids, and the nostalgia factor usually goes a long way. I saw it for the first time when I was 22 and still liked it a lot, but I can see it being one of those things that's not well liked at the time because it's too different from its predecessor.

i have to say, this was the first indy flick i saw as a kid, and that is not true for me at all, you would be as well to say the same to me about Star Wars, Empire, Jedi, Raiders, superman I and II...just because you don't love the movie does not mean that i wdo not truly love it as a piece of art just as much as an adult, or would not have the same reaction to it as an adult on 1st viewing.
the things that folk hate about it, willie, shortround, too dark, whatever...i love about it.
it's truly a great action/adventure movie, and in the indy pantheon has it;'s own unique flavour(unlike LC and KOTCS), that is what goes a long way, for me.

[Doctor Jones]

I saw it for the first time when I was 22 and still liked it a lot, but I can see it being one of those things that's not well liked at the time because it's too different from its predecessor.

Which is what alot of people don't seem to get. TOD is great because it's so different from Raiders. I love LC as much as the next guy, but the third act pretty much became Raiders all over again. People love Raiders so much, they want the films to be like it. Which is wrong. I'll just watch Raiders if I want that. I appreciate what KOTCS did for moving it in a different direction. In fact, it shares the same criticisms as TOD does. People give LC a pass because it's like Raiders. I keep saying this, the movie wouldn't be as good without Connery and/or the idea of the father. If that wasn't there it would be a rehash of Raiders.

[Happy Jack]

Unbreakable

Road to Perdition

I agree. If you've seen the first, you know what to expect. It's not amazing by any means, but it is its father's son.

Predator 2
The Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions
Gattaca
Dark City
X-Files: Fight the Future
The Crow

[Tron Bonne]

IM2

I don't get the hate, I really don't.

Hate? There's been a few people I've seen hate on it, but on average, the majority of people liked it. I think most agree it doesn't live up to the first film, but that's not really hating

[maenalus]

Troll 2

People rag on it, but it's actually a very moving and powerful film. Much better than that boring piece of crap Citizen Kane that everyone pretends to like.

[Ipodman]

The Expendables. - It was 60+ on Rottentomatoes when it was first released, which I thought was reasonable.. but it has dropped to 40+ ever since.

[Doctor Jones]

Hook of course.

[Bunker]

Running Scared (2006)

[gwynplaine]

Frailty
Munich
Appaloosa
Copland

[The Chairman]

Angel Heart. Still the best horror thriller of the 1980s' for me.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Gojira- Most Americans point towards Cooper and Schoedsack's King Kong as the greatest monster movie ever made, but I feel that Honda's movie is better, aside from a technical standpoint.

Blade Runner- While still being considered one of the greatest movies ever made, I still don't think the movie gets enough credit, particularly the Final Cut.

[SuperFerret]

Most sequels are underrated.

[Doctor Jones]

Running Scared (2006)

I'll put Joy Ride up there too.

[BlackLantern]

Oscar - 1991
Switching Channels - 1988

[gwynplaine]

Oscar - 1991

I recommend watching the original French movie with Louis De Funes to see how it's done (if you can find it that is:woot:)

[BlackLantern]

still a good effort by Stallone to try somethig different IMO

[gwynplaine]

[Scourge2099]

He was brilliant in that movie , I love the mcdonalds scene.
You mean the Whammy Burger scene. I love Falling Down. I wish I had a VCR so I could watch it or at least find it on DVD.

[Metallo]

A Perfect World. I never really see it mentioned much when people talk about Clint Eastwoods films. Its not his best but I thought it was a good movie.

Enemy Mine. A really interesting sci fi film of the 80's that people like but never seems to get as much focus as Wolfgang Petersons other films like Never Ending Story, Das Boot, etc.

Night of The Living Dead 1990. A remake of a horror classic that I really enjoyed. Stayed pretty faithful but made some logical updates for the times. The Dawn of The Dead remake is fresher in peoples minds but NOTLD 90 came first and really had some good acting by Tony Todd and the makeup was good.

Hollywoodland. Ben Affleck did a better job as George Reeves than I expected.

[JINoside]

Great idea for a thread!:up:. I'm surprised at many of the movies being posted here. Many of them i thought were considered to be Good or rated fairly:huh:. There's to many movies i feel are underrated for me to list or think of so I'll just generalize my response to the thread into a single group and just cosign with whats already been posted.........Because I'm lazy:o....

Direct to DVD movies - IMO these movies are Always getting overlooked or just not Looked at all because the consensus seems to be that if its a D-DVD its just not worth looking at. Oh How many great movies have been slept on due to this fact:wall:...

predator 2

Oh yeah, I've always felt this one was always underrated. Its definitely not as bad as its been made to seem. Good action movie IMO...

Blind Fury

I got to say, this one kinda touched me:o. Rutger Hauer became one of my favorite actors after this(Can't wait to see 'Hobo with a Shotgun'!!:woot:). It had its cheese but not enough to bring it down IMO...

Gojira- Most Americans point towards Cooper and Schoedsack's King Kong as the greatest monster movie ever made, but I feel that Honda's movie is better, aside from a technical standpoint.

Definitely agree with this one. I have to say that with what they had to work with, it truly was a great movie...

I second Predator 2. Its better than Predators, and nearly as good as the first flick.

Ive always favored Predator 2...the setting is really what gets it there for me, city in turmoil, heat wave, that subway scene is awesome

[luke1234]

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

give it the time. give it patience. it will reward.

[Hurm...]

I think Watchmen is highly underrated. Other than the prison break scene, the sex scene, and some of Malin's acting, I thought the film was great. The performances by Jackie Earl Haley as Rorschach and Billy Crudrup as Dr. Manhattan were beautiful IMO. The visuals were cool and gritty and I liked most of the song choices. I think it deserves much more praise then it got.

[EvilRocketeer]

Barry Lyndon

Kubrick's best film after Dr. Strangelove and 2001.

[gwynplaine]

This crazy premise aside it's a damn good adventure movie.
It is. And I love that crazy premise.
And David Warner was an awesome Jack the Ripper and Mc Dowell a great Welles.

Kubrick's best film after Dr. Strangelove and 2001.

(Criminally underrated and probably my favorite Kubrick film.)

Mannequin Two: On the Move

:o:up:

[Art_of_Crime]

I admired the Chronicles of Riddick. It was just your average sci-fi fantasy with some inspired production and creative action sequences.

It was a decent film. I think it suffered from being a sequel to a movie with a cult following. I think the biggest problem with The Chronicles of Riddick was that it just wasn't Pitch Black. If it had been the first film to come out it might have been viewed differently. It could have been the first in a series of "Conan in Space" type movies.

Yeah, see, this is probably why I enjoyed it more. I viewed Riddick before Pitch Black so I kind of came into it with no preconditioned thought on the character and the type of movie it was trying to be.

Is that movie that good?

It was streaming on Neflix, but they took it down before I got a chance to watch all of it. I watched the first 10 minutes then had to turn it off due to something else. When it comes to period pieces, I really, really have to be in the mood for them. Especially when they're 3+ hours long.

Yes it is, and then some. It is also indeed a very long movie, so like you say you have to be in the right mood for it. But you will be tremendously rewarded.
But I also understand it's not for everyone's taste, but people who like it, like me, usually really really love it. (I think it's my favorite K film or at least for sure in the top 3.)
So, if you're in the right frame of mind, grab some food, some drinks and prepare yourself for an incredible journey, a Kubrickian Time Machine and watch magnificent painting come to life before your eyes.
You're a cinephile, Figs, you have to watch Barry Lyndon at some point in your life:woot:.

I'll definitely get around to it. I just wish I watched it when it was still streaming.

[Art_of_Crime]

I just bought a ton of Hong Kong phooey Brucesploitation films. While the plots are horrible and the dubbing is worse than a milli vanilli music video the martial arts sequences are pretty cool and make the films worth watching.
Plus I feel like Mike Nelson when I watch movies this bad.

Robin and Marian. My favorite take on the Robin Hood mythology.
Also marks the second time in his career that Sean Connery has to fight Robert Shaw who plays a great and scary Sheriff. (First time being, of course, in my favorite Bond movie: From Russia with Love.)
A great, underrated gem of a film.

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Steven Segals a total bad-ass in this film, he makes dirty Harry look like a kitten. It's worth watching for the bar scene alone.

[Thebumwhowalks]

"Phantom of the Paradise".
Probably Brian De Palma's greatest movie.

I saw that movie when I was a kid, like, very young, 7yrs old or something, and was totally fascinated by it. The only reason I watched it was because the Phantom was dressed like some weird superhero, and that's what it was like to me, a very weird sh movie. I need to see that film again. I recall reading in an interview that Nicolas Cage is a big fan of the movie.

Interesting, I never thought of that and I like the idea. It's also a brilliant modern, Gothic, retelling of the Faust story, crossed with the original tale of The Phantom of the Opera, as well as a sort of Rock musical. It is weird and great at the same time and somehow I'm not surprised that Cage is a big fan:woot: (Please don't let him or anyone remake it.)

Creepshow.
Creepshow was awesome.

Agreed, but I'm not sure if it was 'underrated' to say the least :huh:

Well, you're probably right, but I don't hear it mentioned enough anyway.
Most people usually bring up Night or Dawn, but I believe Creepshow is right up there with them. Even King's performance as Jordy Verill was great.

[WalkingDeadMike]

Carnal Knowledge. It's probably the least known Jack Nicholson movie, but he was great in it.

[WalkingDeadMike]

Oh, and True Romance.


Shutter Island

People hated on these movies?

I liked Heavyweights a lot when I was a kid. It makes me sad that no one would make a movie now where fat kids learned it was OK to be fat. I'm sure people these days would complain that it encouraged childhood obesity or some **** like that.

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

A time To Kill might not be as high brow as it thinks it is, but it's still a dam enjoyable film.

True Romance ~ 1993 Quentin Taratino

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

One of the best and most meaningful war movies.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51kXG4U3QEL._SL500_.jpg


At the start they fight like cat and dog, away from the outside world they begin to co-operate. Towards the end of the movie, once they reach the remains of civilisation again, a picture of dead bodies in a magazine creates a deus ex Machina of there attitude to each other, at that point a bomb literally goes off killing them both. Like a big bomb of hate! Or something....

Toshiro Mifune doesn't talk "Engrish" nor are subtitles used keeping up a culture barrier. Neither Toshiro Mifune or Lee Marvin portrayed as outright good guys or bad guys with "Go USA!" crap. Like "cast away" (which was probably influenced by this movie there is very little dialogue. This movie is awsome and cought me by surprise, I was totally expecting another generic war movie.

_ "Casino." Lives in the shadow of Goodfellas but still a great film.

I fail to see how it's underrated.

it's not underrated, at all

[childeroland]

I don't know if this is really underrated, but Somersault, with Abbie Cornish, should have gotten more love. Good performance by Sam Worthington, too (yeah, I said it--he was good).

Kiss or Kill, with Frances O'Connor, is also something more people should check out.

[WalkingDeadMike]

I fail to see how it's underrated.

I never hear people say anything good about it. In fact, any time I hear anyone talk about it hey **** all over it.

[WalkingDeadMike]

Yeah, I can see that being the case. Still, as far as I can tell it seems to be more hated than loved.

DeathRace 2000 (2008).

I think Mars Attacks might be Tim Burton's most underrated film. It's a fun little movie that nobody ever paid much attention to. It's also got a great score by Danny Elfman. It's also hilarious to watch it now and see people like Natalie Portman and Jack Black show up in it.

A forgotten gem. Directed by Mark Herrier (who starred in Porky's... yeah, weird) and written by Alan Ormsby, a long-time collaborator with Bob Clark. A self-aware horror movie, it trumps New Nightmare and precedes Scream. It follows the movie-within-a-movie formula, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Scream is the better film in that its wittier and more streamlined but don't be misled by the trailer or the creators; Popcorn is intelligent, funny and observant. It just goes to show - sometimes you need a movie star (Drew Barrymore) to get your message across.

I love evil doll or ventriloquist movies.
My favorite one being "Magic." Another underrated film.

"Magic" creeped me the hell out. Child's Play was a pretty scary movie too. I remember seeing that in the movie theater.

I'm not a fan of Clive Barker's Hellraiser, but here's a movie of his that stirred my imagination. Nightbreed. Clive Barker's superhero entry. His X-Men. And I love it.

Nightbreed is an imperfect film, sure. Like The Exorcist III, the real monsters over at Morgan Creek Productions cut this movie up, removing nearly a half hour of footage, and you can tell. The first half is fine, but the second half is kind of chaotic. Still, Nightbreed is such a visual feast with a variety of odd characters, breathtaking creatures, quirky dialogue, elaborate effects, that I can't help but enjoy every moment of it. It's one exciting ride.

You also have David Cronenberg as psychiatrist Dr. Decker, and he's excellent. For all of the bizarre creatures, Cronenberg is the most creepy thing about this movie.

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I really love this movie and Timothy Doltans as bond in general.

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/878/livingdaylightsver2.jpg

The living daylights has a really good balance of serous edge and fantastical fun. Without either being in the ridiculous Roger Moore extreme or the boring straight faced Daniel Craig extreme. The story is fairly decent as well. The final action sequence with the plane is freaking awesome, the best "climax" sequence in a bond movie imo. I also liked the female character, she seemed less a throwaway or token "girl" like alot of bond movie. The music score is also awsome, it has a cool little theme specifically for this movie in diffrent forms.

Mb5I2rPLCJs

All in all I think this is one of the best Bond movies with the best Bond. It's the sort of crap I can watch over and over again when it's got a re-run on tv. This is not the case with Casino Royal.

[BlackLantern]

its also on watch instant on Netflix...all the Bond films up to License to Kill are...but The Living Daylights is a favorite of mine, Dalton did well as Bond and it has one of the better title songs of the Bond films

[Two-Face=Badass]

It also has possibly the most brilliant badguy plot in all of James Bond, as well as being believable without sacrificing the Bond-ness (looking at you QoS). The badguys in the film also have entertaining personalities, especially the cowardous main one.

[The Morningstar]

Dalton is definitely an under appreciated Bond.

I'd recommend the special edition dvd to anyone interested who hasn't seen it. A ton of interviews and behind the scenes footage on there.

Great film, possibly Polanski's best. And your Young Frankenstein analogy is perfect, because Polanski and Brooks obviously both truly respected and loved the genre they were spoofing.
Not really underrated though I think, just unfortunately kinda forgotten maybe, but it was a hit upon release I believe and people who've seen it still remember it fondly.
And Sharon Tate was so beautiful in it:awesome:

Phantom of the Paradise- A great, over-the-top, mess of a movie. It was thrashed by critics but it's such a strange, fun movie that I can't help but love it. In fact outside out Untouchables, Carrie, and Scarface some of De Palma's movies don't get the love they deserve. Blow Out is another fantastic one. Although not underrated more unappreciated.

Speaking of unappreciated The Ruling Class is one of my favorite movies of all time. Peter O'Toole's best performance. Kind of part musical, part farce where O'Toole plays a man who thinks he's God...or Jack the Ripper.

The Man Who Wasn't There (I've never understood why this one isn't as highly regarded as some other Coen films)

I tried watching Blow out the other month, but got distracted and went online, I don't think i was in the mood for that kind of movie that day.
and PoTP, as i was saying to gwynplaine a couple of months ago, I watched that when i was very wee, looking at it as a weird superhero movie, cause of the way the phantom was dressed, I have to see that again for sure, I'll have to get it off e-bay or something.
