Most Under-rated Movie

Which movie do you think is the most under-rated movie. I think the movies done by Kevin Smith w/ Jay and Silent Bob. If you actually pay attention to the movies, they all have good morals hidden in them.

Your thoughts please.

Flash Gordon. I think that this is the BEST movie ever. It's got everything a great movie needs and more! Plus, Ornella Muti is hot as fuck.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai and The Black Hole. Both movies were great and ended with a setup for sequels that never happened.

I think The Prodigal Son gets my vote. It's basically about the son of a rich man who has been scammed by his Kung Fu masters and ends up thinking he know Kung Fu. In other words, his father pays them for teaching his son jack shit (he's overprotective, and don't want his son hurt or roughed up)

To make it worse, everyone in the town is being paid by the guy's dad to get deliberately lose when they battle him, thus making him believe that he is the Kung Fu king. So there he is, thinking that he's really good, when everyone in town knows he's shit. Then he challenges some guy who whoops his ass (he refused to be paid to lose) and what entails is this guy's quest to learn Kung Fu properly....

Ok, so it's a shoddy summary of the movie, but hey...

Oh, and Fist Of Legend also gets my vote....I don't even think it made it to the UK cinema screen.

Buckaroo Banzai, definitely. John Lithgow is Hi-larious.

Krull. Oh wait, that one wasn't good!

Neuromancer. Great book, movie has been stalled for years by general stupidity. I for one would love to see it!

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Actually one of my favorites of all time (like all Terry Gilliam's movies), but a complete box-office bomb. And people hate it. I can't comprehend why!

Almost forgot the current one:
THE HULK! Panned, and for some reason disliked by almost everyone I've talked to, it's actually an amazingly well-done movie. Some of Ang Lee's directorial effects are unexpected, and perhaps less than completely successful, but what makes it great is that you're watching a comic book! Except even more developed. Kind of like Neil Gaiman's Sandman series...come to think of it, what a truly awesome movie you could make out of those! Or actually, series, because Gaiman's storytelling is good enough that there's just too much content for one movie.

Although its got a pretty huge following on the TFP, in the mainstream, I would definitely say Equilibrium. As many of us know, that movies amazing.

Jackie Brown, yes.
There are some teen movies that are actually funny, like Bring it On.

There is a great movie called "But I'm a Cheerleader" that everyone should see. The comedy is so dark it's almost black.

Oh, and if you want to piss your pants laughing, go get "Shakes the Clown".

Stars Bobcat Goldthwait, Julie Brown (the white one), Adam Sandler, and some others. Alcoholic clowns beating the shit out of mimes. Classic.

Heyyy... you clowns are on dope!

Hard Boiled is definitely Chow Yun Fatt's best (that awesome shootout in the hospital), but The Killer and A Better Tomorrow are also pretty awesome. If you see them subtitled, that is... Killer's passable, but the dubbing on A Better Tomorrow is atrocious.

Ugh, that monologue was so fucking lame. It was basically ripped off from a number of other movie scenes by various other directors, spike just had ed norton do it. His delivery was great but all he was doing was whining about everything and laying the blame. It was pitiful.

I too thought Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was much underrated and would have made a great film series (like James Bond). It was made into a TV series in 1987 but it was cancelled. I remember seeing the pilot and hoping it would kick ass. It pretty much did, but it just never caught on with the general public.


Hudson Hawk... definately one of my favourite movies. Watched it obsessively a few years back.

Brisco County Jr. while excellent isn't a movie... it was a TV series.

UHF with Weird Al and Michael Richards (back before he was uber-famous) Is hilarious. For some reasons the critics really hated it though (apparently one of them even said that anyone who enjoyed the movie was simpleminded)

I agree with boober about Hudson Hawk.
What about Equilibrium, in my opinion, it was much better than Matrix Reloaded and only made $1 million at the box office.

Hell yes SD! Any movie where William H. Macy gets to smack on people with a shovel gets my vote.

Hmmm, may have to watch this again tonight, since I own the DVD.

Short list off the top of my head:

Boondock Satints - reasons already mentioned
Magnolia - amazing ensemble cast, great soundtrack, awesome story
25th Hour - one of Ed Norton's best performances and just a great movie in general that deserves more recognition
