Yeah that's Matrix Reloaded. The infamous multicultural, United Colours Of Beneton style tribal rave.

That sex scene used to scare the crap out of me. Plugs. Plugs.

The first Matrix was good, the other two were just awful

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.

Just thought of one, see now it was mentioned above...

Tron. It was well ahead of its time. Sequel next year.

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.

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.
