[Film] Most underrated movie

[The Clamp]

They got some critical acclaim but have mostly been ignored. Most people have never heard of them.

 

[getz]

" The Bridges of Madison County". Fabulous acting from Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. Emotional tearjerker with a heartbreaking ending. Icing on the cake is the wonderful jazz soundtrack. Probably not suitable for you hairy-assed supporters though.

 

[Stat Brother]

Predator The Musical

 

[Hugo Rune]

Time Bandits

Robin Hood played as a Tory Politician (Call me Dave prototype?) is genius.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

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!

Nope I didn't

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Magnolia (2000). It covers everything and more, including raining frogs. Plus one of the best casts I’ve seen.

Somewhere in Time
August Rush

Bashed critically but loved by millions

Most of the films here are not underated in any way

Arrival
Leave no Trace
Magnolia

All superb and lauded

 

[Stat Brother]

Citizen Kane.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Arrival
Leave no Trace
Magnolia

One could also guage it upon Oscar nominations and whether my Dad has heard of it.
Leave No Trace bats 0/2 there.

Leave No Trace bats 0/2 there.

Somewhere in Time got 1 nomination for costume design, August Rush none

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Clamp also headed me to 2 underated gems, Dan in real life and Narc

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Arrival and Magnolia are both in my top 30 films of all time

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Films not in the top 250 of all time imdb ratings is a good source of material. ET The Extraterrestirial and Close Encounters of the Third kind both not in the top 250, staggering

 

[Flounce]

Headhunters, Nordic film. Brilliant

 

[Weststander]

Multiple entries above, so in that light.

Taken
Munich
American Sniper
The Bourne Identity
Goodbye, Mr Chips
Wuthering Heights (with Olivier & Oberon)

[Taken & Bourne have public appeal, but film snobs don’t get it].

That’s both surprising and unjustified.

Wuthering Heights (with Olivier & Oberon)

[Taken & Bourne have public appeal, but film snobs don’t get it].

Huh? All massive hits, highly regarded, and still enjoyed by people to this day.

Taken and Bourne generally regarded as well crafted thrillers with mass appeal.

Bourne especially was largely liked by critics.

 

[Stat Brother]

Gone With The Wind.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Pleasantville.

I didn't watch it until years after it was released, trailer makes it look a bit childish. It's actually very funny.
