If you had to recommend 3 underrated movies off the top of your head now...what would they be?

Almost Famous - people who are passionate about music will love this film
Arlington Road - really puts terrorism into perspective and shows that not all terrorists are of Middle Eastern descent
Memento This indy film is not well known to casual movie watchers. Heck, most of my friends never even heard of the movie.

Yeah...High Fidelity was great! And how could I have forgotten Leon?!?!

I mentioned Run Lola Run but Sliding Doors wasn't bad either...similar concept (alternate possibilities based on small changes in a day's events)

 

[Nosaj]

Amelie
Trainspotting
Empire of the Sun

 

[MrCodeDude]

I really liked Bowling for Columbine, but not a lot of people saw it because it was realeased at those "Art and Literature" theatres. The closest one near me is an hour away, so I ended up getting it online.

Election was great...fill me up!

But Traffic was a movie of the year nominee...not quite what I call underrated.
