Kingpin

 

[MC Gas Money]

Duece Bigelow 2

 

[Quint]

The Best of Times

 

[Das Boot]

Brokeback Mountain.

A lot of people don't like it and thus overlook it because it's a western.

didn't this win a few awards too?

Yep, the joke I had intended was that it's not because it's a western that a lot of guys don't like it.

 

[Amused to Death]

"It's Kind of a Funny Story"

Zack Galifianakis, Emma Roberts & Keir Gilchrist. No one's ever heard of it when I mention it. Its about depression and mental illness with a bit of teen romance.

[Varmint]

3 Women

Ahhh...the much anticipated sequal to "Two girls / One cup"

Take out all the nudity and it's still a great movie!!

Its underrated because it is terrible.

Very good movie

 

[zamboni]

Lucas

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Timecrimes

I'm reasonably certain this movie is nonsense, but the nudies are good.

 

[Man In The Box]

I like Best Laid Plans as an underrated Witherspoon flick.

 

[Kevrunner]

Knockaround Guys

Vin Diesel 500 Fight Scene

 

[Insein]

Nothing is for everyone but what's your beef with it?

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Angel Heart with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet

 

[Raider Nation]

Roughly half the movies mentioned so far are not underrated, let alone criminally underrated.

 

[Raider Nation]

The Godfather!

 

[John Bender]

Roughly half the movies mentioned so far are not underrated, let alone criminally underrated.

You're right. Papillon was a terrible take by me. It's 92 on RT

I guess I just never heard it in the mentions of top movie lists.

OK so not under rated.

I'll go with Pet Sematary (41 on RT). That movie is freaky.

Sometimes dead is better

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

Payback. Mel Gibson movie.

 

[mquinnjr]

Grandmas Boy

Rules!

 

[Gandalf the Grey]

Meet Joe Black. One of my favorite movies but most people seem to find it boring

Yeah that might be more of a case of under appreciated movie.

I was at a wedding reception last Saturday at "William Parrish's mansion". The place is ridiculous.

 

[MC Gas Money]

Payback. Mel Gibson movie.

Get the gringo is another gibson film that doesnt get much love

 

[shadyridr]

The Hills Have Eyes remake

 

[Insein]

Payback. Mel Gibson movie.

That's one of the few I prefer the theatrical version to the director's cut. No voice over in the DC and this movie was made for a voice over.

 

[Widbil83]

Uncle Buck

 

[rustycolts]

Reindeer Games also The Jack Bull but I believe it was a made for TV HBO I think so it may not count.

 

[Lutherman2112]

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.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The Best of Times

One of the most inaccurate films ever made.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Boogie Nights.

Take out all the nudity and it's still a great movie!!

Love this movie but there's no way it is underrated.

 

[sports_fan]

Children of Heaven

Incendies

The Man from Nowhere

Wristcutters

Garden State

Kon-Tiki

The Kings of Summer

Another Earth

Castaway on the Moon

Didn't realize there was a director's cut... weird. Taking out the voiceover would definitely change that film a lot. Did they also replace all the guns with flashlights?

Ronin

I haven't seen it since it was released, but I remember going from disappointment to outright hostility at the hacky ending. The good guy about to get shot by the bad guy, but the other good guy who you thought was dead shoots the bad guy in the back.

Ugh, awful.

Lol no. It was grittier. No Kris Kristofferson. Some lady on the phone was the big boss. Bloddier at the end. Not as happy an ending.

Fairly cliche there yes. Rest of the movie was gold though.Its funny my first viewing was meh when I saw it all those years ago. It grew on me after many viewings. Now I have to stop to watch it every time its on.

Love that movie too.

I actually started reading the books this movie was based on. It';s a whole series of pulpy, noir books. Look it up, the Parker series. There's like 20 of them. Payback is based on the first book.

The Lonely Guy. Steve Martin and Charles Grodin.

Related to the film "Parker" starring Statham?

Yep. Donald Westlake is the author, but the Parker books were all under the Richard Stark pen name.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Wristcutters

For the first hour or so this is a pretty great movie. It starts to bog down, IMO, the last 1/4.
