Hooper

Silverado

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Quick Change, the only movie Bill Murray directed.

Is that our plane?

No, if it were our plane, it would be crashing



Love that film. Some really good lines

"Oh sir, you forgot your map...and our million dollars."

 

[El Floppo]

My Blue Heaven (1990, Steve Martin); 71% rotten tomatoes

Three O'Clock High (1987); 67% rotten tomatoes

Don't know if they are criminally underrated, but my two suggestions.

67% for 3oclock High IS criminally underrated- love that movie

The Best of Times

One of the most inaccurate films ever made.

are you suggesting that Reno Hightower was not the only QB in the history of Kern County to wear white shoes?

 

[SmoovySmoov]

Bubble Boy

I Heart Huckabees

 

[Don Quixote]

**** - Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst play two high school teenagers who wind up as "Deep Throat" and taking down the Nixon presidency. A bit funnier before the true identity of Deep Throat was revealed, but one of the more underrated comedies of the past 20 years.

Zorro, the Gay Blade - George Hamilton spoof of Zorro. Zorro breaks his leg, and his flamboyantly, homosexual brother has to take up the whip in his place. Maybe a bit un-PC, but highly quotable.

The Silencers (1966) is a quintessential 1960's spy spoof, directed by Phil Karlson. It is the first (and best) of four colourful Matt Helm features, with debonair 'Rat Pack' member Dean Martin cleverly cast as author Donald Hamilton's womanising smoothie, the Man from ICE (Intelligence Counter Espioage). The attitudes may have dated — this is very much of its time — but the women continue to delight, especially Stella Stevens (Gail) as a divine klutz. Also making an impact are former Miss Israel Daliah Lavi (Tina aka 'Cowboy') and one-time MGM siren Cyd Charisse, whose title song is a highlight.
Helm is coaxed out of semi-retirement by an attractive ex-partner. It seems that the evil Big 'O' organization has a nefarious plan called "Operation: Fallout." If this plan comes to fruition, Big 'O' will explode an atomic bomb over Alamagordo, NM, and start WWIII. Only Matt Helm can stop them.

I assure you that nobody worth a #### underrates Uncle Buck.

What the hell kind of clown are you?

The crying on the inside kind, I guess

 

[zamboni]

Probably not so underrated on the board here, but I would mention Beautiful Girls.

So not a chick flick as the title may indicate.

 

[Klimtology]

The Man Who Knew Too Little

- Bill Murray

Zorro, the Gay Blade - George Hamilton spoof of Zorro. Zorro breaks his leg, and his flamboyantly, homosexual brother has to take up the whip in his place. Maybe a bit un-PC, but highly quotable.

I loved this movie

 

[The Goat]

Suicide Kings

This would be my #1 underrated

[jamny]

I watched The Ref again over the holiday weekend.

Very funny, underrated movie.

 

[STBootleg]

Love and a .45

I've always enjoyed this and I believe it has flown under the radar.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I watched The Ref again over the holiday weekend.

Very funny, underrated movie.

 

[Amused to Death]

Dune

I thought the 2000 SciFi miniseries was good/great. The '84 David Lynch version....not so much.

 

[proteus126]

City Heat - Hilarious movie. Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood.

High Road to China - An utterly ignored movie, but Bess Armstrong was adorable and Tom Selleck a hilarious drunk.

The Cutting Edge - Moria Kelly - would crush.

Mr. Mom

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

I watched The Ref again over the holiday weekend.

Very funny, underrated movie.

"Your husband ain't dead, lady. He's hidin'."
