Underrated films
 
There are a Lot of underrated movies that come to mind.
Of the top of my head, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", "Halloween 2", and the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Well, to non-fans.) What are some others?

I can see this trainwreck from a mile away. But either way...

The only one that comes to mind at the moment is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. While it was a horrible Final Fantasy film, it wasn't that bad of an overall film. I still pop it in every so often to enjoy the CG animation.

Speed Racer, man. The last race is incredible.

I'd say Manhunter starring William Petersen & Brian Cox.
The prequel to Silence of the Lambs.

Dante Spinotti's cinematography is amazing in this movie.

Alice (Něco z Alenky) is absolutely fantastic but I know very few people who have even heard of it.

What about My Bodyguard, with Adam Baldwin (from Full Metal Jacket) and Matt Dillon.

"Yellowbeard", the 1983 pirate movie parody with John Cleese and Graham Chapman. It isn't a classic, but certainly better than the critics said it was.

I thought that was a snoozefest, but I'm quite fond of Little Otik. :)

I'm not sure whether they're technically underrated, but I'm a huge fan of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Much love for Waking Life as well!

Aaand let me throw Johnny Suede in, too. ;)

Couldn't agree with you more. I thought that film was visually stunning in general, but that last race was totally amazing.

What about Bad News Bears? Depicting potty mouthed little brats, which today is now common in movies, it was ahead of it's time by at least 2 generations.

Yeah, that's actually a pretty good movie.

I'm going to say The Rocketeer is underrated.

Most of what I watch, but more specifically: Blood Simple, Onibaba, Kwaidan, Suicide Club, and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage just to name a few.

Turns out The Godfather is underrated. I brought it up in math class today and some Watchmen loving ADD jack-asses started hating on it, but I **** on all their arguments.

raphael_is_cool 05-07-2009 03:57 PM

The Godfather is considered one of the greatest films ever. It is usually within the top three on any list. I would not consider it underrated, generally-speaking.

DeathRace!

To each his own. Some of my friends claim "Star Wars" trilogy is high underrated just because not everyone is a fan.

Hannah 05-07-2009 04:06 PM

What the f*ck is happening? Where did those other posts go and why are we having the same conversation?

Jester 05-07-2009 04:33 PM

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. I mean come on, it's still better than Superman III...right?

So, wait...he made the joke before and it failed so he's repeated it...only making it far less obvious? Or he believes a few people's opinions count in the whole. I don't know which to believe.
