I agree with "Crash" 2004..

[Enid]

I didn't see the newer Crash. The older movie (absolutely no relation to eachother as far as I know) was about a group of people that would feel turned on by seeing motor accidents. It was a pretty strange movie, but quite sexy as well.

Don't want to spoil it on you but its Cronbergs best film.

I did with Maggie Gallyhael, love that film really funny but sad at the same time.

Grave of the fireflies (should be as acclaimed as Spirited Away)
Let the Right one in (AMAZING FILM)
The Fountain (Peculiar and difficult but visually stunning)
The Air I Breathe
Across The Universe
Rock and Rule (I loved it as a kid)
The Royal Tenenbaums

I'll probably think of more later.

Gone Baby Gone

[setanta]

i loved serenity- with a small budget and a well written script, it really emphasised that there's so much life in sci fi genre. george lucas should never have been allowed write last star wars trilogy. should have asked joss whedon to pen them.

Do the right thing is spike lee's best film


I'd put Malcolm x
Red Road
Breaking the waves

[Chilltown]

Malcolm X was fantastic and is a forgotten film sadly.

[setanta]

i love all of spike lee's stuff. have a real soft spot for he got game. it's not perfect, but it really has some class moments.

Yeah, I like it. I think it's one of his weaker films like Summer of Sam but even his worst films are still very good. Have you seen The 25th Hour or Jungle Fever?

[setanta]

even his weaker ones are interesting though.... his films show him to be a very conscientious director- very moral and just in his observations. i never feel he's trying to push me in one direction or make me feel a certain way. there's a sense of fairness in him. most directors want to spoon feed you their notions of what right is- it's never black and white with spike lee. that's hard to do in a medium so suited to manipulation of emotion. i'm probably waffling now lol

[Enid]

Falling Down.

Michael Douglas is amazing in this movie.

[BB_Eye]

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Not strictly a "good movie"... it's more of a bad movie for bad people. :laugh:

[hennessy]

A lot of these films are not underated, some have grew to cult status like one of my faves Leon (died in the cinema, I was alone watching it) is muched loved now.
here's some
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Miller's Crossing
Boondocks Saints

I was afraid you'd say that. Have to be in the right frame of mind to allow yourself to experience those kinda films.... they're mind fu£ks of the highest order. Can't help but admire them though.

[hennessy]

It's like watching Erasorhead, you got to be prepared

[setanta]

Yep exactly.... they're Lynch and Cronenberg times ten. Audition still freaks me out.

Shooting Fish - the best con man film ever!

The Women (1939) - wasn't under rated at the time but now there is a new version :shrug: watch the old one first, starring all women, written and poduced by women (I think!)

High Fedelity - only cause I adore John Cusack!

Best 1980's Teeny film was the Breakfast club, most underrated was Say Anything, starring John Cusack! It worth watching because of his monologues!

[setanta]

Watched Rob Roy again the other day and was reminded of how badly it was overlooked in it's day becuz of the exposure Braveheart was given. In my opinion Rob Roy is a far superior film with some wonderful performances. Could watch it again and again.

[BB_Eye]

What about Jackie Brown?

Am I alone in thinking it's Quentin Tarantino's best movie?

[setanta]

I'd go along with you in saying it's hugely underrated and is actually his most mature film in alot of ways.

[Johann]

Jackie Brown is my favourite Tarantino movie.
