I hate putting anything down on these lists cuz more often than not I'll come up with others afterwards.
Eh, I'd say Quiz Show, Copland, Donnie Brasco and Strange Days are very underrated. Great flicks.
Thanks, sweetie. :D
Ghost World - An amazing cult movie more people should watch. It's moral of the story -- Even if you don't know where your life is heading or which direction to take, you'll figure it out in the end. And it's okay to be a bit weird. ;)
Thirteen - A pretty shocking movie about a couple of thirteen year old girls getting pissed, high and having underage sex.
Kids - Pretty much same as the above, but with HIV thrown into the mix.

Shooter - One of my favourite movies ever, yet 90% of the people i ask about it, havent even heard of it.
Fast and the Furious (the first one)
Crank
The Princess Bride - Not sure if it was underrated at the time but use to be one of my favourite Movies as a kid Andre the giant, Fred Savage, Peter Falk, Wallace Shawn, Cary Elwes, Robin wright, Also...
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

I thought the film of The Jungle Book was good too, the non disney one
FernGully - Probably the nostalgia kicking in now, but what a ****ing brilliant movie. Parts of that film scared the **** out of me.
Another one, SLC Punk - A comedy/drama about punk culture in Salt Lake City during the 80's.

It was a flop, it only had a cult audience. It only made about £3m. Plus not many have seen it, but generally those that have love it.

The Matrix Trilogy as a whole was massively underrated. The first one became a huge pop culture phenomenon and thus the sequels were in the mainstream but really they were never intended for mainstream consumption. Most people did not bother to understand them. They just wanted to see 'the black fella in the leatehr jacket shootin'.

Not seen the other two for ages. The trilogy could be worth a rewatch
Hah Stu, I was way too young to get The Matrix. The only part I enjoyed was the sex scene in the first film. My god, that was hot.
I should really watch them again, if only for the sex.

Nah Stu, the other two were comprised of inane pseudo-psychological ramblings that alienated the audience and elevated the whole enterprise to a level of pomposity that actually made them laughable. Loved the first one and was absolutely appalled by the other two. Found it a chore to watch them.

Ah I love those films, I've got PB and Labyrinth on DVD somewhere.
Without sounding like a Broken record I think Studio Ghibli's films are Excellent but underappreciated outside of film fans. I think Sweeney Todd deserved more praise then it got, the same with Corpse Bride (not as good as NBC yes but still good in it's own right).
Here's some others I can think of:
Let the Right One In
Grindhouse
The Fountain
Trick R Treat
Boogie Nights
Across The Universe
Stardust (Similar to Princess Bride but still good in it's own right)
Rock and Rule (more nostalgia based then anything)
For soem reason I can only really think of more modern films, I'm gonna have to attack my DVD collection for some more inspiration.

That's the point though, your either into it or your not. I don't see how a film is automatically pompous just because it's not a loud, dumb action movie.
Besides, they didn't suddenly become pompous. The entire Trilogy was conceived as just that - a trilogy. The entire thing was written and planned before the first scene of the first movie was ever shot.
As for alienating the audience, that's what I mean by them not really being fit for mainstream consumption.

Nah, it's was just silliness really, and it didn't help that the actors delivered the lines so earnestly. It was like Jesus of Nazerath meets Mortal Kombat and Tron. Just didn't mix well.

No it wasn't ... it was just the idea of the trilogy. That's what it was. A trilogy designed to make you question the nature of reality and the interchangeable values of good and evil, evolution and causation. To say it was silly is like saying all that ring bollocks in the Lord Of The Rings was silly. Should Keanu Reeves have been on a pogo stick juggling floppy disks when he was questioning The Oracles rhetoric?
You either liked it or you didn't. Marmite.
Whhhaaat? There must've been, unless I'm exaggerating. I dunno. As I said, horny teen. Could get off to anything back then. Bwaha.
Well, Trinity lifts up Neo's top and sucks a tracker bug out of his bellybutton in the back of a car, but that's as X-Rated as the first one get's I reckon :hugesmile:.

It's nothing to do with the lack of action Stu - it's just that the whole thing had a pooey, reverential tone which made it totally unpalatable.

I never said anything about action.
It was meant to have a reverential tone. If it had had a whimsical, slapstick tone the philosophical dialogue would have come off a lot worse.
That's why I'm saying you either had to love the idea of the movies or hate them, but you can't fault the Wachowski's for putting philosophical stuff in there because that was always the intention. Star Wars without space. Shawshank without prison. Matrix without philosophy. It's all the same.

Thirteen definately, saw it a few mnths back, great ending to it.
I'd say Fear And Loathing In Las Vega - wasn't a commercial success but became a cult classic.
Also Stand By Me - never gets enough credit.
This is the scene I was referring to. The whole clip reminds me of a Lords of Acid gig hahah.

The recent Star Wars flicks suffered from the same lack of heart but at least they were entertaining on some level. The two sequels were really poor - pretentious and overblown. I just can't embrace them at all.

I fail to see how they were pretentious in any way, they were always designed to encourage philosophical discussion, it's not Fast & The Furious, but whatever.
Star Wars. Hmm. Tricky out. I think I can enjoy the second two prequels a lot if I manage to forget how great the original trilogy was for a few hours. That's a mighty hard job to do though!
That first one though was diabolical. What in the world.
I actually think I like the second one the best, even though the popular consensus seems to say III.
Has anyone mentioned Bronson yet? That didn't get any hype whatsoever. :(

That's because The Matrix never dealt with the fragility and chaotic nature of human existence, it questioned what human existence was/power/causality etc. Two totally different ideas. Besides, you have to admit, if you are going to call The Matrix pretentious, a lot of people consider Darko to be just as bad. It's completely lost on some folks.

Probably doesn't count as underrated but Kelly's Heroes was on TV earlier. It is great.

Starship Troopers. I thought that was quality, I have it on DVD.
Cast Away. I thought was amazing? I know alot of people hated it because it's just another sad film with Tom Hanks in it.
Silent Hill. I also thought this was amazing for me it is one of the most effective horrors ever.
Van Helsing. Now anything to do with vampires I must see and this captured it well. Brilliant movie; Kate Beckinsale and Hugh Jackman work well together too.
The Mist. I enjoyed it alot and the ending had me emotional for some time.
Vanilla Sky. Tom Cruise scared me in this but I do enjoy watching it, it scares me in parts but parts make me laugh.

I adore Spice World - Yes it is about the Spice Girls but its a very underated film imo and I love it every time I watch it.

Ok, although it's acclaimed by the critics and in reality just a souped up documentary, I have to mention Grizzly Man on this thread because for me it has to be one of the best films of the decade. Think Into the Wild, with an egocentric and troubled man on the edge of sanity, and a film drenched in pathos. Just brilliant.

Remember the Titans
Great movie! I am surprised to see someone British like it! :)
Its so much about Football. BUt its very compelling, so good call.
ANd its got Denzel Washington, and Hayden Panettiere (CHeerleader from heroes), who was a much better actress, as a child. :)But really, remember the Titans, was not underrated in the US. It was, and still is, a very popular movie.

Drugstore Cowboy... a masterpiece. The best drugs movie ever made.
Trainspotting doesn't hold a candle to it.
