GIMME DA LIST recently i made a list of the ten most underrated movies of all time. (Well that i would have watched so the last twenty five years or so) gimme your coments, do you agree, do u have any that you think are underrated? that i missed or havent seen yet...all feedback welcome EDIT: If you havent seen some of them they are worth a thought....especially Boondock, snatch, and slevin if you are in to crime movies...ie liked the godfather, scarface, and are lookin forward to american gangster and we own the night..... Reign of Fire and Equilibrium are great sci fi flicks
I'll agree that most of them are great, but thats because i've seen them. boondock saint is reason enough for someone to put down the video game and go to the movie rental store. american history x is also one of my favorites.
Gotta say I disagree on almost all of them...and "Greatest Movies You Never Saw" would probably imply movies no one has heard of...a bunch of those are popular movies...and some overrated...
I've seen Lucky Number Slevin far too many times for my own good. I just gave a presentation on it Wednesday/Thrusday as a group project for Film Studies.
I have viewed most of those films; the ones I did not see I have heard of and really never wanted to watch them. On a side note, I notcied that most of those are relatively new. What about older movies? I feel that it is harder to see some of the overlooked classics rather than the newer films. Movies like Le Samourai.
American History X, thats what it was called! I saw this movie the other day on TV and it was AMAZING. I just didnt know what it was called. I started watching it from the middle of the movie I think. It was just so good that I kept on watching and I never ever do that. Even if its just 5 minutes in i wont watch it.

among general population FEW have seen them....and as you can see several people who posted here havent seen boondock saints which is a tragedy in itself....none of them are overrated because they either received little attention from viewers and less praise from critics...and Movie you never saw is a way of saying.... Underated movies that you might not have heard of....and i know not everyone on this site is quite as worldly as you because i have got half a dozen messages thanking me and saying they would rent it and check them out

yea..rent it...tv version misses out on the swaring and violent parts
Everyone has seen Boondock Saints, American History X, Enemy At The Gates, and Equilibrium. Anyone who cares about movies atleast. There are better movies that are much less known than these. Jacob's Ladder anyone?
The Thing is a suprisingly underrated horror flick. Life of Brian is pretty well-known, but compared to Holy Grail, it's pretty obscure. As is Brazil. That's all I can think of.
[QUOTE="pintabear49blue"]Has anyone seen A Scanner Darkly?pintabear49blue
I saw it, good movie.The greatacting made it hilarious too. I liked the look they used for it. The book was better, though.
I agree. You got more of a sense of what went through his head and how it was affecting him and stuff.
Yeah, during the movie, it wasn't fully explained that he was drifting from reality. It made it seem that he still grasped both aspects of his life rather than drifting from them.
Brazil was completely unrelated to Monty Python....but yeah, most of these movies are pretty popular. In fact, outside of American History X and Boondock Saints, I think they were all major releases.
Green Street Hooligans, Oldboy, Dellamorte Dellamore are some of my recommendations.
