[Film] Most underrated movie

[Is it PotG?]

Go on then, Ida (2014).

A true masterpiece.

 

[Weststander]

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.

Taken was/is mocked by Kermode, then the ever snobby Guardian or Independent best movie lists tend to exclude popular movies.

Point taken.

As an aside, Kermode’s taste in film is laughable. His obsession with his favourite film of all time,The Exorcist is as irritating as it silly.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Waking Ned is one of the best films of all time.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Goodbye Charlie Bright, not for everyone but I’m the sort of person that doesn’t watch Jim Carey films.

Great film based on a true story

I thought it was The Sound Of Music, genuinely.

Sucker Punch.
Children of Men
Fight Club (initially a box office flop I believe)

May well be. All I ever him banging on about is the bloody Exorcist. Funnily enough, a hugely overrated film.

Children of Men is very good.

He loses it well and truly here

1900
The Brother From Another Planet

He’s right. But he’s such a nause.

 

[Norman Potting]

Spinal Tap
Galaxy Quest

 

[The Clamp]

Stop getting films wrong!

I gave up on Kermode and Mayo when they left the BBC.
I'm now all in on Sean Fennessey of The Big Picture & The Rewatchables.
That man knows his stuff.


& as a sign of good faith I'll play nicely

Loved this as a child more than Star Wars. Still love it now, partly because of a classic John Barry soundtrack.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Sucker Punch.
Children of Men
Fight Club (initially a box office flop I believe)

Children of Men is a great film, and not just because it turns Bexhill into a refugee camp!

 

[wadhurstseagull]

Slade in Flame. Very dark, fantastic music, great acting from Noddy and Jim Lea, a cameo appearance by the Metropol Hotel in Brighton and (I believe) Tom Conti’s first feature film role.

Good to see Pleasantville and Dan in Real Life mentioned, both fantastic.

I think Strange Days is underrated. Written by James Cameron, directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

I love it. Didn't do well at the box office though did win a couple of Saturn Awards.
