SLC Punk. I really liked that movie for some reason. It was just well done I think.

"Only posers die"

Maveric · 07-14-2003, 04:20 AM

The Transporter starring Jason Statham and SHU QI (Lai)

more fire · 07-15-2003, 08:03 AM

amadeus. It won about 5 oscars but it's still underrated.

PatrickBateman · 07-15-2003, 09:15 AM

Boondock Saints was underrated, but I have heard more people talk about it than I have about Equilibrium, which I thought was better.

frankx · 07-15-2003, 09:17 AM

Drop Dead Gorgeous - I love Kirsten Dunst most anywhere, but this one is hilarious. Ellen Barkin, Kirstie Alley and Allison Janney were too funny.

Hudson Hawk - I loved this movie and can't understand why people didn't.

Freeway - Reese Witherspoon was excellent in this one.

kod · 07-16-2003, 08:01 PM

Not the most underrated by any means, but Resident Evil always gets dissed despite being the best video game -> movie conversion ever.

gangle · 07-17-2003, 08:27 AM

Donnie Darko is a truly fantastic movie

neddy65 · 07-18-2003, 04:23 PM

Hudson Hawk yep
Big Trouble in Little China big yep

Johnny Rotten · 07-20-2003, 11:45 PM

I stayed away because of the generally unfavorable reviews, then rented it one night recently when I was hankering for some fresh sci-fi. It rocks! Maybe not too deep, but it has some amazing action and some great dramatic scenes. If you like sci-fi and action, give it a go. Definitely worth the cost of a rental, at the least.

yellowgowild · 07-23-2003, 06:19 AM

Starship Troopers, best movie ever. If you pay close attention, you might realize the movie is really a metaphor for the transition of our society into fascism. Everything that happened in that movie is relevant today.

JohnnyRock · 07-23-2003, 06:33 AM

I have to agree with Starship Troopers--GREAT movie...alsoRemo Williams: The Adventure Begins is another classic that nobody knows.

3zos · 07-23-2003, 09:09 AM

Dunno where everyone stands on this, but i absolutely loved "Punch Drunk Love". PT Anderson being one of my favorite directors, i saw it immediately upon release dispite horrid user reviews, and mixed critical review..

COMPLETELY new take on romance genre as we know it. Adam Sandler was stunning playing in one of his more serious roles, and it was nice to see he could include at least some of his schtick in the film, but with some meaning behind the actions. Might be for the younger generations, anyone I know whos 30 or above thats seen it, hated it.

Another that was completely panned, was Basic. It seemed the critics, check rottentomatoes and youll see, just couldnt understand it. Upon seeing it the first time i was in the same boat, but with a funny sense of satisfaction after being completely confused

second time around, if you really try at it, all the puzzle pieces fit together, even if the movie wasnt quite as flowing as it could have been.

Irish2 · 07-24-2003, 07:15 AM

I always get abuse hurled at me when I admit the DUNE is one of my favorite movies.

Great story, great acting, great atmosphere. I don't know what the problem people have with it!

yellowgowild · 07-24-2003, 07:34 AM

Van Wilder

Hudson Hawk

Tigerland

LHFire · 07-24-2003, 09:42 AM

I think The killer is the best chow yun fat/ john woo film. Try to find the Criterion version to watch. The subs are much better. Hard boiled is great also.
Basically anything with chow yun fat / john woo is freakin' amazing.

hotzot · 07-24-2003, 11:00 PM

MST3K the movie, My kids and I laughed till it hurt!!

sadistikdreams · 07-25-2003, 09:38 AM

there's a MST3000 MOVIE???

oh and Tank Girl is one of the greatest flicks ever.

stonecurran · 07-26-2003, 08:45 PM

snatch was an awesome movie.......... then second would be lock stock and 2 smokin barrels

Tickford · 07-29-2003, 07:26 PM

Trainspotting...... that is just the coolest movie...

maximus · 07-29-2003, 11:01 PM

life as a house and made are 2 movies that are really really great movies that you dont hear alot about.

Katyblu · 07-30-2003, 10:55 AM

Shallow Grave
Mallrats- was panned by everyone but its my fave

bussman · 07-30-2003, 12:05 PM

Another vote for Hudsen Hawk, I loved that movie.

I like the two miniseries made by Sci-Fi (in 2000 and 2003) better than the 1984 or whatever movie by David Lynch. I do like the David Lynch cast better though, with the exception of Irulan and Chani. Julie Cox and Barbora Kodetová were nice to look at. The reason that I like the minis better, and most people do, is because the Dune saga is just massive. There is no way a 2hr movie could tell the story. The uncut version of David Lynch's Dune was 3hrs I think, but still not long enough. The minis were much longer and that probably helped by putting more of the story in. It doesn't make sense without the whole story, so the more you have, the better.

Batman976 · 08-10-2003, 12:44 AM

I haven't seen Equilibrium, but have heard lots of good things. I have a birthday coming up, and I'm thinking about asking for it. What movies might you compare it to? Is it one I should rent first, or can it be enjoyed by most people?

agentsmith · 08-10-2003, 01:57 AM

John Q, Denzel Washington

BigGov · 08-10-2003, 09:43 AM

Finally, I was wondering if anyone was going to say John Q.

Great movie that for some reason just didn't take off. Provides a realistic story with great acting, what more can you ask for?

Jonsgirl · 08-10-2003, 09:58 AM

I'll go with Hudson Hawk, as well. SLC Punk was great. Now I want to see it again! Also, The Pentagon Wars. Hardly anyone one has seen this and I think the John Q. Public needs to know how thier tax money is spent, lol!

BigGov · 08-10-2003, 10:27 AM

The Bradley is the very rare exception, not the rule.

Abrams, F-14, F-16, F-18, F-117A, B-2, Humvee

All the best in the world.

Been looking forever for it also.

Tex · 08-11-2003, 06:39 PM

I think "The life of David Gale" is underrated by today's standards. The movie got little press, but it was a very solid movie in my opinion. Also, as far as being in the category of the "best movies of all time" The Shawshank Redemption doesn't get mentioned too much. That movie is outstanding.
