Totally stupid classic with a wondrously eclectic soundtrack 
Was a massive hit, wasn’t it.
One of the few films that gurning moron is in that is genuinely hilarious. Great film.

Another Jim Carey movie, except this one genuinely was panned at the time.
The Browning Version. With Albert Finney.
Sublime. Got lost amongst sentimental pap like Dead Poets Society and Circle of Friends. It’s far superior to either of those.

Leave No Trace, still my favouritist fillum of all time yet little watched.
Fandango with a young Costner is strong too.

I seem to have become addicted to Film 4 weekday daytime movies - they have a load of remastered oldies. My absolute favourite has to be The Admirable Crichton with Kenneth More which, incidentally, is where Red Dwarf got the name Kryten from. After looking it up it was a box office hit, so doesn't count.
So I will therefore have to go for Gideon of Scotland Yard.
For a more modern movie, I would go for Hostiles.

Stir of Echoes - Kevin Bacon. A supernatural thriller which went a bit under the radar, I think due to Sixth Sense being released at a similar time.
It’s better than the latter in my opinion.

Again, Leave No Trace was critically lauded and much loved by audiences. Voted best film of 2018 on dozens of platforms.
From Wikipedia;
Leave No Trace premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and was theatrically released by Bleecker Street in the United States on June 29, 2018. The film received universal critical acclaim, with praise for the performances of Foster and McKenzie, and it is the most reviewed film to hold an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Won dozens of awards.
Sorry, I don’t want to be “that guy” but the film is not underrated. It’s just not a blockbuster.

You do realise this is highly critically acclaimed and one of the top movies for its genre in terms of audience ratings... not to mention a box office hit as well!

Stranger than Fiction . Turned this on not knowing what to expect and really enjoyed it. I'm not normally impressed by Emma Thompson or Will Ferrell but they both put in superb performances.
