How old was Jeff Ward in that video?:grinpimp:
Bruce Brown did the best documentaries, Dana did Step Into Liquid, but it was a tribute to The Endless Summer
as so is Dust to Glory

all top notch videos

Bruce Brown did Endless Summer, and then Endless Summer II showing the transition to short boards, etc., and Dana did Step showcasing tow in surfing, kite surfing, etc..

On any Sunday was released in 1971. Jeff Ward was born in 1961, so clearly Boomer.
 
I should also add the dogtown documentary by greg steczik. Not the movie.

My go to 'under rated' movie.
On and Sunday, the OG, the original Bruce Brown documentary

no special effects, just old school Gen X life happening as it was
although I have a DVD, it is a direct copy of the VHS with the bad sound and visual wobbles left in there :grinpimp:
Most that are unaware of this little gem, but old school guys know what it is

3:10 to Yuma

The Patriot

Apocolypto

Escape from New York - a rare movie that I would like a remake of BUT they would ghey it up, make the president a Type A female, hit all the social warrior causes in NYC, and generally fuck it up.

Sexy Beast

Rogue One

Road to Perdition

This is a fucking brilliant movie.

And to nit-pick, this is an UNDERRATED thread. I see a lot of movies being listed that are outright critically acclaimed and/or box office smashes.

Cheesy one:
The Quick and the Dead.

Nothing redeeming about it but again, an all-star cast that just somehow makes the gunfighter trope last for two hours :dustin:

I just bought a box set. of the 3 Bruce Brown On any Sunday movies.
You want my original DVD (Not Blue Ray, DVD). PM me you address and its yours


Edit to add, my dad took me to see this in the theater when it came out, I was 12 years old.
My dad taught me to ride dirt bikes starting when I was 5.

I realy like this movie. Would be interested on how it held up with someone new seeing it now.

Looks like it's free on tubi.

Outland (1981)

Stationed at a titanium mining colony on Jupiter’s moon, a federal marshal uncovers a drug-smuggling conspiracy that puts a target on his back.

Dude, based on that list I think we may be soul mates. :flipoff2:

I can't oversell Layer Cake. It's just a phenominal movie that it seems like no one has seen.

Also, kudos for actually listing underrated flicks.
