Your go-to underrated movies

[Rooney77]

I was fortunate that when it released it was near me and I got to see it in theater. It was not a packed house. 😃

 

[Thatg9659]

I should watch Greg Araki‘s Nowhere again.

 

[Sandy Johnson]

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.

Kids going to bed late got me last night, but the wife has some work mixer to go to tonight, so hopefully I'll get a crack at it then.

Clerks
Clerks II
Trollhunter
Life of Brian

 

[Vancharger]

Another vote for Hitcher and Vanishing Point. (The originals) also Kellys Heroes, and The Longest Day.

 

[Thumping]

They call me Trinity and Trinity is still my name.

Cannon Ball Run, Blazz'n Saddles...The Good, Bad and Ugly.

Some folks have interesting ideas of what an underrated movie is.

 

[dwygrsshpr]

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

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.


My contribution to the thread:

Margin Call

Margin Call (2011) ⭐ 7.1 | Drama, Thriller

Lucy

Lucy (2014) ⭐ 6.4 | Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Layer Cake is tits. It solidified Daniel Craig as a proper actor. And also a furiously casted film and with an excellent score.

RE: Margin Call - this is essentially the true (but fictionalized) story of the mortgage crisis in 2008. The Big Short is the more accurate version of how the apple cart tipped over (pushed over?) but both films have solid casting. As in you aren't getting many bigger names than those....

Raise: Boiler Room. Pure fantasy, but essentially shows how the market can be easily manipulated with some slick talk. Think Wolf of Wall Street which is a true story (mostly).

 

[nahmus]

wasn't boiler room vin diesel's first movie? If so then I've seen it.

Ooh, that reminds me:
Pitch Black
The Chronicles of Riddick
Riddick

Also The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay xbox game- story line tied in perfectly with the movies and was actually good. I didn't have the patience to beat the game myself, but I sat there and watched for like 3 hours while my buddy played through it just so I could see the ending to the story.

 

[dwygrsshpr]

Just thought of another one:

Buffalo Soldiers w/ Joaquin, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Anna Paquin, & more. And again, another great score.

I don't want to give any spoilers so just watch it.

 

[Void_of_Light]

lock stock and two smoking barrels and Snatch but thats more well known

The Gentlemen is also great huge cast with great dialogue.

The Netflix series based on it is pretty good too.

 

[Kyron]

And I actually live in the same model house as the two story house


The adventure of Lyle Swann is a CLASSIC !! … it’s a Yamaha btw

 

[Projectjunkie]

"Wild Dog to base, fuck off"

Lots of good Mel Gibson movies

 

[eraser5]

Almost anything Mel Brooks.
Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail-- almost completely memorized.
Princes Bride
Any of the Terence Hall spaghetti westerns.
James Garner westerns.
There are thousands of great movies, but these ones I will re-watch many times.

The Grey is NOT a movie I would ever watch again.

 

[Mikenike]

The Gentlemen is also great huge cast with great dialogue.

The Netflix series based on it is pretty good too.

Most anything with hugh grant is fun to watch but underappreciated. Not sure if he picks those movies on purpose or what

 

[junkytj]

I like movies with local connections on the underappreciated list

Slingblade

Stuff I can watch over and over
Tombstone, Blazing Saddles, The search for the Holy Grail, Two Mules for Sister Sarah, Saving Private Ryan, Forest Gump, Full Metal Jacket, Dances With Wolves, The Last of the Mohicans, Slumdog Millionaire, Boondock Saints

I forgot he was in there. He was awesome though. Reminded me of Tim Curry.

Thats another one whos stuff i enjoy.

 

[SuperAwesome]

Bone Tomahawk, it's on netflix right now.

I can't watch that movie ever again.

 

[0ilburner]

13th Warrior.

 

[eraser5]

Sling Blade and Rocky Horror Picture Show, I waited WAY too long to watch those. I always wondered why people called Meatloaf "Cousin Eddy." Now I understand. Anytime something won't start I growl ain't got no gas in it.

 

[eraser5]

I can't watch that movie ever again.

In "The Walking Dead", Maggy describes a house she went in (killed them all) EXACTLY like the tribe from Bone Tomahawk. The deformed people, vocal cords cut out, Women with no arms, legs or eyes. Someone stole some writing material!

 

[korda]

I can't watch that movie ever again.

Now watch Tusk.

 

[Firstram]

In "The Walking Dead", Maggy

 

[300sniper]

Captain Ron

 

[Ksand]

Toy Soldiers
The Burbs

 

[AKnate]

Captain Ron

I remember my folks renting that in the early 90s.
Rewatched it a while back and didn't seem nearly the same. Used to get WAY into movies as a kid.

Now I'm lucky to make it through a movie without falling asleep, nevermind half paying attention to it.

 

[Otto M@n]

I can't watch that movie ever again.

Guh damn so I made this thread and forgot this movie was on here...I inadvertently added it to my watch list and the gf and I watched it. Holy fuck that was a lot
