TV & Film Your favorite underrated movies

[Rosie1]

The soundtrack thread started me thinking about underrated movies.
So ta-da, a thread!
List, talk about your favorite ones. I always love to see recommendations/mentions for ones I haven't seen yet (or even heard of!).

 

[Lord Snot]

Megashark vs. Crocosaurus. It got slated in the reviews, but it made me laugh more than any comedy I've seen this year. I gave it 5 stars.

 

[Muggle]

Keeping Mum.

Nobody has ever heard of it but it is brilliant! Maggie Smith as a serial killer, what more could you ask for?

EDIT: I will point out that the plot is very predictable. But it's still hilarious.

I just added this to my instant queue.

The Straight Story

"Cube" and "Cube Zero".

 

[hungryraccoon]

'Wristcutters: A Love Story'. I really liked that film! Also 'In Search Of A Midnight Kiss' & 'Rocket Science'

 

[Moll Flanders]

I really liked The Jacket with Adrien Brody () but I don't know anyone that has even seen the film.

^ I LOVED that film. Was going to list it but wasn't sure if it was known or not.

A Patch of Blue is the most underrated film that I've ever seen.

I must make a note to see it.

 

[AeryFairy]

I think Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is incredibly underrated, it's my absolute favourite

 

[Cerebellion]

Hellboy II is underrated, I think. It captures the vibe of the source material quite well, I think.

 

[Lord Snot]

Keeping Mum.

Nobody has ever heard of it but it is brilliant! Maggie Smith as a serial killer, what more could you ask for?

Oh good one Annia, I forgot about this. It's among my favourite movies but I never hear it mentioned or talked about. Mr Snot loved it too.

Equilibrium with Christian Bale and Taye Diggs
Dog Soldiers (this is more of an horror movie)

 

[thefadedone]

"Cube" and "Cube Zero".

'Wristcutters: A Love Story'. I really liked that film!

Excellent movies!

I've seen it a bunch - really like it!

A Patch of Blue is the most underrated film that I've ever seen.

I've also seen this one a lot. Great, great film. I remember reading that even though Shelly Winters won the Oscar for her role, it was a role she actually hated.

The Royal Tenenbaums

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (not sure how underrated it is but I wasn't sure I liked it until after the second time I saw it).

 

[Moll Flanders]

The 13th Warrior (1999) - Antonio Banderas

I haven't seen that film in ages. Antonio.I don't just appreciate films with attractive dark haired men just to be clear.
