Name some of your favorite UNDER - RATED Movies....

[SSP]

Thanks for the link Thyme. I'll try to rent it the next time I'm in BB.




Star Wars, Episode 1

I agree. Me and most of my friends loved it (granted we are SW fanatics )

 

[AUMM]

The Cube was an awesome movie??!?? are u serious? what the heck was the point to that

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The Big Lebowski

Snatch

 

[SSP]

I don't know. I guess the fact that they eventually turned against each other, good guy turned bad, bad gy turned good. And if they just stayed on that cube, they woud've survived.


Before I go to sleep...

This just goes to show you that you shouldn't always listen a 50 year old fat dude what you would enjoy. There are many forms of entertainmant.

So... I will reserve my judgement of A.I... for now.

G night all!

Thyme has another few movies that I totally agree on..

the Insider was an amazing movie (rented it on DVD).

if you're talking about the same 'The Hurricane' that I'm thinking about, (is that the one about the boxer that gets arrested?) then yea, that's a GREAT movie...

fight club was an awesome movie, in the sense that it had great plot, etc, but I hated the storyline.. too evil! unfortunately, that film (and others like it) could lead people to blame their problems on film-makers, rather then bad parenting (in other words, not being brought up with 'good' values) which is the real problem..

 

[AkumaX]

SPACEBALLS

 

[RossMAN]

Definitely Rushmore, a must have DVD.

 

[pulse8]

Another vote for SLC Punk

Also: Grosse Point Blank, Suicide Kings, Zero Effect and Out of Sight

 

[Piano Man]

Memento - One of the best movies I have ever seen.

 

[tantos]

Farewell My Concubine
Raise the Red Lantern
Red Sorgum
Dark City

 

[blues008]

12 Angry Men (The black and white original - not the HBO production)
American Me (Olmos is the man)
In the Heat of the Night (Poiter is also the man)
The Blues Brothers
The Spanish Prisoner

To name a few...

 

[monto]

so many good suggestions, one more would be the recently DVD'd Requiem for a Dream...director's cut with the commentary and couple extra scenes was simply amazin

 

[FrancesBeansRevenge]

Pump up the Volume

 

[hans007]

office space

 

[stonerdave]

hmmm...

miller's crossing
gattaca
blade runner

 

[datalink7]

Memento
Spaceballs

 

[ace31216]

October Sky!!! I have no idea why this movie didn't do well in the box office.

 

[pen^2]

higher learning

 

[Whisper]

Call me strange, but I actually liked the movie version of Great Expectations. Maybe it was just the soundtrack...

Can't forget Lucas, either. That movie r0xx0r3d.

As did the first two installments of the Revenge of the Nerds series, and the first two or three (can't remember which) in Meatballs.

 

[Looney]

Three Kings was under-rated?! All the reviews i read (even Siskel and Ebert) reviewed it highly.

 

[ISAslot]

Return to OZ
Batteries Not Included
Uncle Buck

 

[ElPool]

yea. some of the movies mentioned already are not really under-rated by critics, but are more under-apreciated by viewers, and just dont get the popular attention they deserve.

ones I would suggest:
Pi
Requium for a dream
Dark City
Ronin
Gattaca
the spanish prisoner
Hype (cool documentary about seattle grunge scene in early 90s)

and some almost-mainstream anime (by that I mean movies that even people not into anime at all would still enjoy),
like 'Princess Mononoke',
and 'Ghost in the Shell'

as for 'the Hurricane' that some have rented, that movie was one of the worst ive seen in years. same with 'remember the titans' (is denzel trying to suck?)

 

[ElPool]

oh, and about the movie 'CUBE' I rather enjoyed that movie.
although it seemed more like a good episode of 'the outer limits'
than an actual movie.
I thought it was really interesting how the cube was somehow built
out of the complex government beaurocracy and nobody really knows why.

 

[Phunktion]

Pimps Up Hoes Down -- a pimpumentary LOL..

Office Space.. I worship that movie..

 

[Buddhist]

pi
dark city
gattaca
(gotta second all those)

ang lee's "The wedding banquet" (more of an indie film. great plot and insight into chinese culture)

starship troopers. (Yeah i know...but i love that movie. Its got so many amazing scenese despite its cornyness. IE. Shower scene (no not the nudity ) but rather the discussion that takes place, or the kids and guns scenes etc. Quite humurous)

Frank Herberts Dune

chocolat

The Conformist <---italian movie, amazing directing.

a forgotten classic &quot;Vertigo&quot; <---amazing hitchkock film.

uhmmm a ton more.
