Underrated movies?

Havnt had a movie thread for awhile,

And heres a topic we never cover,

What movie(s) do you guys feel are "underrated" by the media/press/critics?

 

Porn ?

 

The Burbs'

Great flick.

 

Beer fest comes to mind.

 

Office Space.... Super Troopers.

 

Quite popular around here

 

The War

 

From an analytical point of view a lot of the older films from movements like the film noir movement (movies like Laura, Double Indemnity), have failed to get much recognition these days, IMO the movies being put out lately are all crap unless they're funny. Even though Cool Hand Luke gained alot of recognition when it was released with the whole rebellion thing, I think it's still a great movie that not many people from my generation on have seen,

 

Very good film!

 

I really liked The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. For some reason that movie captured my mind like few movies I have ever watched.

Also, Reservoir Dogs comes to mind as being underrated. Blood Diamond with Leonardo DiCaprio.

I am not really good at remembering all the movies I have watched so take my little list as a grain of salt.

 

Tin Cup

Every life lession you could ever need can be found in that movie.

 

I brought this movie up a few threads ago but what about The Road? Everyone hypes about The Book of Eli but they need to see this movie too.

 

Harry and the Hendersons

 

All 3 are in the IMDB TOP 250,

And all 3 are GREAT movies!!!!!

 

The Road was very good

 

Maybe I missed it but Cast Away wasn't on that list. Another fine Tom Hanks film.

 

All time classic for sure.


True Romance is about as good of a movie with an unreal cast that almost no one I know has ever seen.

 

Is that the movie where there's a line about a femor

 

Yup...........freakin' hilarious movie.

 

For me:


Last Man Standing
One Crazy Summer
The Money Pit


There's a number of other movies. But, those tend to be ones that I never hear mention of anywhere.
