it sucks bad.
Under-rated:
Hotel Rwanda - If this movie doesn't convince you that genocide is still possible in the 21st century, you haven't been paying attention to the Sudan.
it sucks bad.
another underrated movie is a midnight clear with ethan hawke and gary sinise.
Underrated: The Deer Hunter -Alot of people under 30 have never seen it, which is a crime.
Overrated: The Blair Witch Project/The Royal Tennenbaums (tie) -Both of them sucked balls. Boring as .
Just thought of Ravenous, which is a horribly underrated film -- it's dark comedy about cannibalism starring Guy Pearce and Robert Carlysle that is twisted, and grizzly and absolutely hilarious. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it.
I find The Warriors both underrated and overrated. But the video game rocks!
I agree.
Underrated - Amistad, Magnolia
i would say magnolia is terribly overrated, but i think that about all of pta's movies. i couldn't make it through a half hour before turning it off.
That ending of Magnolia was god awful. I don't need to have some vapid airhead who thinks everything he/she says has deep and powerful meaning explain to me that it's a symbol of the postmodern world view in an ever blah blah blah. It was stupid as period.

Boogie Nights kicked ass, that movie is underrated.
Did you really think it was funny?
I must've missed the comedic over/undertones in it.
I like the film, but I really didn't see the comedy in it.
After reading this, I realized I had posted 28 Days when I really meant 21 grams.
So now I'd like to add 21 grams to the underrated list. And 28 Days ing sucked.
Very good movie.
Underrated:
The Serpent and the Rainbow
props on the 21 grams mention. some people i know didnt like it but i thought it was really good. del toro did a solid job in it.
grizzly man is fascinating. you tell yourself over and over how stupid he is but you can't stop watching.
Good ol Timothy Treadwell.
I rented this out of curiousity thinking it would probably suck, but there wasn't much else I wanted to see. After the first ten minutes I was glued to my seat. He is one of those people you can't believe exists, and I couldn't stop watching. The Grizzly Man was one of the most interesting and entertaining movies I've ever seen.
"28 Days LATER" (not "28 Days"; that was a Sandra Bullock movie) was a good movie.
I'm a big fan of zombie movies, but that one was NOT a zombie movie. The people were infected, not dead.
So, no, it's definately not "NOTLD".
Plus, the original "Dawn...." was far superior.
And both those Rob Zombie movies were garbage.
I think 28 Days Later is vastly underrated.
Overrated: Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
(No offense intended, but your avatar did remind me of how underwhelmed I was with that movie.)
Con-man movies lead my list of underrated movies:
Criminal (John C. Reilly is an underrated actor)
Heist
House of Games
I'm strictly a oli fan.
Underrated:
North Shore (wonderful late 80's surf flick starring Rick Cane from Arizona!!!)
RAD (another great late 80's movie dedicated to BMX)
Top Gun (the last great military movie)
