Yeah Tron is superb.

If we are going with cult classics that the mainstream did not embrace, then THE BIG LEBOWSKI.

Masterpiece.

Human Traffic is a good film. Always lifts the spirits.

Good shout, Human Traffic was really underrated when you consider how much of a phenomenon Trainspotting was.

Nothing to harrowingly negative in it either. Just some good old fashioned fun.

And when it comes to that, I have to go with Snatch, Lock Stock & RocknRolla too.

Would not say Snatch and Lock Stock are underrated really. They get plenty of credit here, and those are the films you instantly think of when anyone mentions Guy Ritchie

Rob Roy was underrated when it was initially released because Braveheart stole it's thunder a bit, but I actually think it's a top class film with a wonderful storyline and great performances all round. I fecking love that film.

I loved Tron as a kid, I watched it recently though and it wasn't as good as I thought outside of the then-groundbreaking effects.

Children of Men must be one of my most overrated films. I found Clive Owen very uncharismatic in it. Not sure I like that whole future's-gone-to-pot genre anyway.

The Dark's current average on Rotten Tomatoes is 33%.

Agree on Children Of Men being pants too.

The Crow? Underrated? Great show but it's incredibly overrated. It's really just a straight foward redemption tale and emo's and goths hype it up to be the greatest thing ever!

Hated Requiem for a Dream and Darko wasn't particularly underrated. Great flick though.

Dunno, about Donnie Darko, it could have been a cult classic but Gary Jules having a number 1 hit with 'Mad World' spoilt it.

Absolutely class. I think the films great anyway. Stuff the Matrix - Darko deals with the fragility and chaotic nature of human existence in a much more resonant and subtle manner. Loved it.
