I will second "The Professional". That was a great movie that didn't get the attention it deserved.

Also:

The Valley Girls - yes an 80s teen movie, but I get sentimental every time I watch it, plus Deborah Foreman is a great unappreciated actress.

Can't think of another.

[Spikey217]

I'd like to add Pleasantville to my list.

 

[SaltBoy]

The Emperor's New Groove - the most underappreciated Disney movie ever.
Gattaca - After I show this to people they sit back and say "wow, that was one of the best movies I've ever seen!"
Undercover Brother - Overshadowed by Austin Powers 3. What a shame.

so many others, but these are the most recent examples I can think of.

Roger and Me is also a good one. The only thing about his films I don't like is that he shows the problems but never offers any real solutions.

the hot chick! haha not bad for a rob schieder movie

and well, it qualifies as underrated. i dunno how you judge a film to be under, but momento was priased by every critic in existence..pretty much. how is that under rated? same with almost famous.

loved momento, hated almost famous.
