Suggest an underrated movie

Wow I'm totally going to watch that Zulu movie now. That looks freaking good, and who doesn't like Micheal Caine. The man is pretty much the reason to see Second Hand Lions and of course the Original "Get Carter"

 

[The Grim Ace]

Spoiler: Brotherhood of the Wolf

Spoiler: We Married Margo

Spoiler: Forbidden Zone

The first one is a great French action film, the second is a pretty good comedy, and the third is like Rocky Horror Picture Show with Oingo Boingo.

Titan AE.

Fantastic visuals, flew almost completely under the radar in 2000. The Prequel books were fantastic, too.
It looks stereotypical, but the wit, fantastic soundtrack and performances won me into fandom.

Secret of Kells

I wouldn't call it underrated, but its definately not as well known as it should be. Irish early history and mythology presented in animation style that was just fucking beautiful. Really a pleasure to watch.

Moon.

Just do yourself a favour and watch it. I thought it'd be boring.

bro, strange brew is so legit! The theme song is arguably one of the greatest of all time

Red Cliff
In Bruges
Black Dynamite

It's late, my mind is tapped out.

I've heard good things about in bruges, i should definitely watch it.

If you end up liking In Bruges (which is all right), then watch 'Intermission' (2003). It's a great black comedy that very few people (outside of Ireland) have seen.

Too lazy to lurk.
Titan AE.

One movie I don't hear much about is True Romance. It isn't the first movie directed by Tarantino but it is his first script to be made I believe. Anyway, if you haven't seen that I would highly recommend it. Also, I just recently saw The Troll Hunter which just came out last year. It's a Norwegian film and even though I couldn't understand I enjoyed it immensely.

Cutthroat Island. No, seriously. I really liked that movie. If you are into pirates even a little bit, this is for you.

I wouldn't call Moon underrated really. All the reviews I've read have been positive, and I know a lot of people who really like it too.

Still, I also recommend Moon for anyone who hasn't seen it and is looking for a good piece of hard sci-fi. It's a pretty under-explored subgenre nowadays, which is a real shame. Also, if you're a Mass Effect fan, at least listen to the soundtrack, because it's really awesome, and it's written by the same composer who'll be doing the score for ME3.

Willow is another good one. Kinda cheesy but oh well.

Hmmm... I guess so. Leans closer towards 'underknown?' What's that word again >.>

Not sure if this is considered "underrated"

But it's by far my favorite movie of all time,

Ever since I was a weeeeee little tike.

I can never watch this movie ever again. Cartoon Network used to play it for forty-eight hours straight sometime in August. I got sick of it very quickly, and that's a shame because it's a great movie.

Dog Soldiers.

A werewolf movie done on a budget small enough to fit in your pocket, but turns out to be one of the cleverest, scariest, and most entertaining horror movies ever.

i totally disagree with the scary but on everything else you are entirely correct! watched this film about 8 times in one weekend, had almost the entire thing memorised.

OT, try rare exports, it's a finnish film about santa being a child eating demon and all his elves are what we would conceive to be santa. just a bit of an epic film!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Oh! The Square was amazing(and Australian).
Also, Primer is a really good sci-fi film.

I second Primer.

 

[CleverCover]

It's really recent, but I saw almost no advertising for it.

I wouldn't have even seen it if my friend didn't drag me out to go watch it on opening night.

Take Me Home Tonight...I think that was it.

It was a cool movie. Yeah. Hope you enjoy it!

The Sunshine Limited. It's a film adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy play (he wrote No Country for Old Men, for those who don't know him). Basically, a suicidal atheist professor (Tommy Lee Jones) and a very Christian old man who just stopped him fro killing himself (Samuel L. Jackson) have a long, intense, philosophical discussion about God, death, etc. They do a great job with the acting, and even though it's nothing but dialogue and the whole thing takes place in Jackson's apartment, it's still a very gripping movie. Especially the ending, with Jones' monologue and the pain it caused Jackson, it just gave me shivers... I'm gonna go watch it again. I highly suggest you do the same.

So its actually called the sunset limited and im watching it right now...and its is totally gripping. Great suggestion my friend.

Chopper. I don't hear it talked about much, but it's a great film, bloody hilarious. Not sure if you will have seen it or not, but I dont know too many people who have. I wouldnt say it was exactly an unknown film either though, but I dont really watch many indie films or whatever.

Whoa,that looks amazing.Holy shit Eric Bana looks awesome...Definitely gonna watch it as soon as possible.
