A Decade Of Underrated Movies

Some good picks on this list.  I enjoyed Dark Blue.  Dead Man is a great, creepy movie.

Office Space?  I don't think that is underrated, in fact, it's dangerously close to becoming overrated because everyone has seen it 17 times.

American Psycho...  ehhh...

I'm curious to check out The Brown Bunny, Mr. Jealousy and The Underneath.

I'll pass on Josie and The Pussycats.

My pick from the last decade: Primer

I think The Salton Sea with Val Kilmer is under-rated.

Red Rock West with Nicholas Cage and Dennis Hopper. Nobody has ever heard of it and anybody I ever get to watch it loves it.Maybe Cage's best performance.

Ugh!  I hated Primer!  Interesting story, but the dialogue was horrendous!  What a piece of filth.  My wife wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the night because I made her watch it with me.

"Ugh!  I hated Primer!"

hahahah... that's why I feel it is underrated!

Once you get past the tech-speak, which is really only the first 15 minutes, the story gets really mind bending.  And as mind-bending movies go, this is one of the best.  You really have to think to figure it out, or at least form a plausable theory.  Sometimes I find that a bit more fun than a normal movie.  It gets better with repeated viewing.

when i saw the thread title. first movie that came to mind was American Psycho. No one thinks of this movie when christian bale is mentioned, but i think he was terrific in it.

 

Now I may be way off on this next one, but I feel liek I NEVER hear any one talk about, even though there are great actors in it.

 Heat. never gets the respect it deserves.

I love Heat.  The only gripe I've heard occasionally it that is it too long, but I think overall, among movie buffs, Heat holds its own.

That kind of reminds me Michael Mann's Collateral.

I felt I was lucky enough to see it in the theater right before it left for DVD.  Great movie.  Very well written, acted and directed.  Beautifully shot. 

I know it did pretty well at the box office, but I think it should have generated a little more heat.

But it was bogus tech-speak.  And I found it about as mind-bending as the Back to the Future trilogy.

For all those knocking Josie and the Pussycats, have you
actually seen it.  It's on the list for a reason.  It really
is suprisingly good.  It was not done like Scooby-Doo, The
Flintstones, or any of the other cartoon to Live Action Full Length
Movies.  See it.  You'll enjoy it.  Also see Drop Dead
Gorgeous.  I'll stake my reputation on them.



Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Did I see the same movie as the rest
of you? Josie
and the Pussycats was 100% grade-A USDA-approved garbage. That that
shit movie made the list and a movie like "In the Company of Men"
didn't shows just what kind of shit this list is.

Starship Troopers is on UPN (movie edit) as I type this. Definitely has some of that comic undertone that Robocop had. Plus it has Doogie Howser.

I never considered American Psycho underrated -- too many people I know have seen it and like it. Before Batman Begins came out and Christian Bale came up, it was always "the guy from American Psycho" and everyone knew who you were talking about.

Oddly, I have three movies for the list featuring the same actor: October Sky (inspirational), Bubble Boy (laugh like an tard), Donnie Darko (mind f**k) - all with Jake Gyllenhal (sp?). I will watch any of them whenever I catch them on TV.
