I have that game for PS2 and it is indeed sick.

I just downloaded The Warriors the other day and am excited to watch it again. It's been a while.

Super Troopers

[Chewbacher]

[Mouldsie]

im not a movie buff but i thought the Butterfly Effect was an awesome film and it didnt get much love.

[smashingt2312]

inside man

[BanditsRock11]

Agree with Super Troopers, Inside Man, and Butter Fly Effect.

I'd go with any X-Men movies, Batman Begins, and all of the Saws, if any of those movies are considerd underrated.

I'd definitely consider Batman Begins underrated. I thought everything about that movie was great, including the backstory behind him becoming Batman. I really, really liked that movie. I'm excited for the next one.

I wouldn't consider BB underrated just because of how much money it made and how many people loved the movie. Nearly 75% of the people gave it an "A," and it made over $200,000,000 domestic. Check out this link, it's a great site. And I agree, I can't wait for the next one to come out. Not too sure how good Heath Ledger will be playing the Joker, however.

[Chewbacher]

What about classics such as Dune or Tron? EPIC films

[K-Gun]

Dr.Strangelove

You root for Jack the Ripper every time, don't you?

[Ru]

Are you serious? Yikes.

[pigpen65]

I'm going to end this thread with two words. Cabin Boy. Most underrated movie of all time. If you've never seen it, rent it today.

Other than Inside Man, you're absoluteky kidding us. Come on. Saws? SuperTroopers underrated?

My choices are Freddy got Fingered(Daddy would you like some sausage?) , Hostel, and my fave Transylvania 6-5000, and Hollywood Knights("Turk, did you ***?")

[BeastMode Deep]

Shaun of the Dead

[pmoon6]

The Fisher King with Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams.

[nehemiah]

What about classics such as Dune or Tron? EPIC filmshow can 2 of the top movies of all time be underrated?

DUNE is the absolute greatest film ever.

they released the director's cut onto DVD - finally!

:rockon:

[Al Davis]

Tales from the hood!

What's wrong with it?

Dont hit and run.

[Carl J. Ironsides]

Tales from the hood!


http://www.scifilm.org/images2/taleshood3.jpg

Yes, that is an awesome movie. Great call.

Anyone ever see "Clifford"? Hilarious movie starring Martin Short as a bratty 10-year-old and Charles Grodin, his annoyed uncle who is the only one who sees thru Clifford's good boy act.

[Ru]

What's wrong with it?

Dont hit and run.

I'm sorry. I realize everyone has different tastes, but I just thought it was horrendous. From the high school play quality acting to the B-movie like direction and the story which had more lapses in logic than all of Uppy's posts on PR&S combined, it was IMO a movie that should have swept the Razzy's in almost every category.

[Mouldsie]

lol

good response

but i still liked it... i enjoy those kind of films (involving psych and or philosophy in life)

I loved the movie Click.

Crash too... has a quirky interconnective theme so it's similar

I only watch mainstream and modern stuff though and dont catch as many movies as the average american so maybe I dont have a lot to compare them with and knock em down

[Ru]

Another movie I loved that didn't get a lot of publicity was "21 Grams". At the end, you leave feeling like someone punched you in the gut, but wow what a powerful movie.

[HURLS]

Anyone ever seen "Spanking the Monkey"? This kid has to take care of his ill(or parapalegic, can't remember which), in which he ends up in a sex scene with his mom at some point. Nice movie.

Then there's The Hotel New Hampshire*I think), where Jodie Foster's parents own a hotel. I think she does it with her brother. Old Movies, both good times. :D

Sick ****ing movie.

[BanditsRock11]

Other than Inside Man, you're absoluteky kidding us. Come on. Saws? SuperTroopers underrated?


I'm sorry oh great one. I didnt know the bar or how everyone else felt about those movies. Theres alot of people who have never even seen SuperTroopers, and as for any of the Saws, the 3rd one is the only one that a huge deal was made out of, atleast more than the fist two.

[bdutton]

Some good titles here... Hotel New Hampshire, Shawn of the Dead...

My addition (just downloaded this recently and LOVED IT was 'A Boy and His Dog'.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072730/

Starring a very young Don Johnson. Jason Robards co-starred.

[freedomfrypizza]

The Count of Monte Cristo

[Carl J. Ironsides]

"Wrong Turn"

Pretty good scary movie featuring Eliza Dushku in a white tank top for two hours. Not bad at all.

[SweetLee8 3PlayaWha?]

What About Bob.

[Carl J. Ironsides]

"The Scout," starring Albert Brooks and Brendan Fraser.

[Gibby]

I'm going to end this thread with two words. Cabin Boy. Most underrated movie of all time. If you've never seen it, rent it today.

funny movie, but I wouldn't say underrated.

[FamousAmos]

Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. Good time-era piece.
What about Bob I don't think is underrated because I just say it on TBS the other day.

The Boondock Saints was pretty sweet, too!

[dogginbox]

True Romance.

[35Pete]

The Shawshank Redemption.

[smashingt2312]

gangs of new york,
on right now, love it.

[SweetLee8 3PlayaWha?]

The Shawshank Redemption.

Great movie, but I don't know if it's really underrated.

Almost everyone I know has it on their top 10 list.

[Ru]

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

[Carl J. Ironsides]

"Legally Blonde." I was watching it on TBS the other day and was thoroughly impressed. Plus, who doesn't like Reese Witherspoon?

[HURLS]

I love Reese, hence my love for "Sweet Home Alabama". Also, someone mentioned Hotel New Hampshire. If that's with a younger Jodie Foster and she has sex with her brother or something, I think I saw that a lonnnnnng time ago. Need to see that again.

[35Pete]

You root for Jack the Ripper every time, don't you?

Only if Jack is operating in Washington DC. :D

[Ru]

Real Men (1987) starring Jim Belushi and John Ritter

Funny as hell!!

[Mouldsie]

"Legally Blonde." I was watching it on TBS the other day and was thoroughly impressed. Plus, who doesn't like Reese Witherspoon?

So, you think I'm hot?

[markythebill]

"Over The Top" awesome Stallone flick..lol

Hahaha, that's such a shit film.

[markythebill]

Station Agent is underrated. NEVER heard anyone talk about it. Gorgeous little film about a dwarf going to the countryside in New Jersey to live in an abandoned railway depot. It's great.

Excellent call. I've seen that movie like five times but somehow forgot to mention it. I guess that's a testament to how underrated it truly is.
