Truly underrated, underappreciated films

Spirits Within was pure crap.

I'd also like to say that Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch were awesome. Anyone I know who's seen them loved them, but I think that they're less known to most people

why was spirits within pure crap? if its becasue its not a real final fantasy movie then you can end the argument there becasue that is not a reason for hateing the movie. however lock stock and two smoking barrels is an awesome movie, so is snatch:P

Return of the Jedi, A Goofy Movie, The One, Commando... hell i'll throw Top Secret in there too.

the big lebowski

I did the first time I saw Lock Stock. :)

And I'm not even a big fan of FF movies or games, I just thought it sucked.

[QUOTE="Apollo5000"]Just to be sure has anyone here actually seen Thursday?NakedSnake25

The one with Thomas Jane from the Punisher,right? Yeah that film is very rare. I wouldnt have heard of it if it hadnt been for imdb.I'm a big fan of Thomas Jane.I looked at his page on IMDB, wrote down all the movies he's been in, and rented em on netflix.Great film.

[QUOTE="zakkro"]Memento for sure :wink:thejakel11225

Yeah memento was awesome, the usual suspects was gr8 too.

Memento was absolutely fantastic - one of my favourite films ever.

As for The Usual Suspects, I'd personally say that that was an overrated movie: the 'clever' plot-twist wasn't clever at all.
It's like telling a joke to somone, but forgetting to put in the relevant information that makes the punchline make sense (for example, "Oh, I forgot, the second guy is the Pope - that's why it's funny when he swears, see?").

It wasn't clever because the ony way to predict the ending was to ignore every piece of information that the movie was telling you, which defeats the purpose of having a plot twist in the first place.

I forgot about Brick. :) Lucky # Slevin is great too.Guthook7

Brick? That 'teenage' noir film? I wasn't sure whether that was worth seeing - I guess I'll have to go see it now. :)

I wasn't a fan of Lucky Number Slevin - probably because the plot twist was totally obvious.

Anyway, I'm going to mention Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which, despite starring Val Kilmer, was one of my favourite films in years. It's truly hilarious, even if you don't have a great knowledge of noir detective fiction/films.

The barney movie that was so cool

note that there is sarcasm in that sentence
