Re: Your Most Underrrated Movie Ever
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
The best performance of Jonny Depp's career, the script ripped almost directly from Hunter Thomspon's writings, Terry Gilliam's crazy cinematography, Gary Busey, Flea... this movie has it all. Seriously though, it's my favorite movie i nthe world and was totally panned by critics when it was released. All the HST-ophiles who have popped up since his death obviously have brought it back a bit, but it was never on anyone's radar when it was released.
And Depp's performance is just insane -- if you know anyhting about Hunter and the way he acted, talked, walked, etc... Jonny absolutely nailed it. HST hanging out with Jonny a lot (he was one of his closest friends by the time he died) in the final years of his life spoke to that. Fat BEnicio is awesome as well -- he did a great job capturing the essence of Oscar Acosta, though we're left to speculate on a lot of the mannerisms, etc. because there isn't much public record of Oscar still available.Send your Midnight Release weirdo pics/videos to my new website: http://www.peopleofmidnightreleases.com!Comment

Re: Your Most Underrrated Movie Ever
Maybe True Romance is underrated but Blade Runner and Fight Club? There are few movies that are more celebrated as cinematic achievments by fanboys and critics alike, rightly or wrongly, as these two.
You might get alot of people arguing that these ones are overrated but I doubt underrated. That's like saying the Godfather is underrated.Comment

People didn't realize what they had until the moves were long out of theatres. In both cases, I think they are great films, and never should have been blasted that way in the first place.Comment

Re: Your Most Underrrated Movie Ever
I agree w/ 25th Hour. I'm not the biggest Spike Lee fan, but that and Inside Man were great.
I also agree with Slingblade. Not because people don't think it's good, just beacuse I watched it again the other day for the first time in 5 years and forgot how good it was.
I'll also add The ProfessionalComment

Billy Elliot
I don't consider it underrated, because it received great critical acclaim, but it is pretty unknown. And it is a fantastic movie.Comment

The Butterfly Effect - Ashton Kutcher as main star of the movie but it is very good and powerful IMO and has some good meaning to it.
The Prestige - Chris Nolan directing with Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine acting, very good put together movie.Comment

Half of the films in this thread are better, but even a lot of serious movie fans probably didn't bother with this one. I give much respect to any feel-good movie that doesn't cheat and try to manipulate you to reach that goal.Comment
