Most Under-rated Movies Of All Time

Once Were Warriors

 

dont wana start a pissing match cus i could care less but that video is from 2012, the imbd link i posted is 4 months ago

anyways, back on topic

Eastern Promises

 

"Warrior"

I thought it was much better than "The Fighter," even though the two brothers entering MMA bout was a bit over the top, it is hollywood after all, the acting was much better.

 

Tucker and Dale Versus Evil

Best B-rate movie I can remember seeing in a loooong time. And it's on Netflix

 

havnt seen warrior, liked the fighter, but along the lines of that type of movie i like Legandary. Despite not being a fan of John Cena's acting skills, since i wrestled for 6 years i thought it was a pretty good movie

 

Office Space
Troll Hunter

 

Army of Darkness
" Shop smart, shop S-mart"

 

Equilibrium

 

KickAss. great movie

 

Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. People never remember this movie, but it ahs some of the best on screen weapons handling you will see. The intense relationship between the two characters is great as well.

Edit: how the eff is Office Space underrated? It is widely considered the best comedy of the era.

 

QFT! plus, the soundtrack is also pretty good

 

I agree on KickAss and Collateral.

Boondock Saints was a horrible movie. Possibly one of the most OVERRATED movies of all time. It just has such a legion of fanboys (and girls) that get really, really pissed off when you explain to them why it's awful. Like Coldplay enthusiasts. The sun rises and sets around that movie for them, and if you insult it you might as well have fucked their mom.

Some that come to mind for me:

- Diggstown
- A Few Good Men (possibly the only good movie Rob Reiner has ever made)
- Serenity (strong loyal cult following, but not a huge mainstream one)

 

The Core (hated on because it is scientifically inaccurate, but it is a freaking movie)
Friday (because people have forgotten about it)
SWAT (I seem to always enjoy this one)

 

Sandlot

 

Can't think of many off the bat right now, but Sucker Punch was damn awesome in theaters, highly underrated and disliked by many reviewers.

The visual effects/CGI in theaters were some of the best I had seen.

And half naked stripper girls + inception-esque style = Win.

See it to appreciate the kickass stylized action, not the deeper storyline.

 

Law Abiding Citizen

It

Training Day

Book Of Eli

 

The other one I usually pitch in these convos is Sunshine. Danny Boyle's homage to the space-horror genre. Has Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, that dude that played scarecrow in Batman Begins, and more. Beautiful visuals, and some intense moments. It received almost no distribution in the US. However, when I travel and talk to Euros or Aussies, they all know the film and love it. So weird.

 

I was gonna say, the visuals were great. The storyline was terrible. It is worth the watch on blu ray for sure.

 

agree on book of eli

blew my mind

 

Training day is a great movie, end of watch turned out to be a great movie as well!
