[popltree2]

What do you think is the most under-rated movie?

One of mine most under-rated favourites is THE CRAFT.

It pre-dated the late 90's horror explosion supposedly started by SCREAM and remains one of the most watchable teen horror movies ever made. Also Fairuza Balk is the definitive creepy goth chick for all time in this movie.

Great cast, smart script and a killer soundtrack. THE CRAFT is a classic of its kind.

Wait? Did you say OVERrated?

Definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for posting that Masher. Have you ever seen it? Hmmmm, I feel like I should watch it again just to get my head in the right place. I wouldn't call it overrated because it really is a great movie. It's not one of those corny low-budget Christian films, it's actually REALLY good.

Did you ever see The Judas Project?

[njshadow]

Did you ever see The Judas Project?

Nah.

In terms of Christian movies I've seen:

-Left Behind
-Left Behind 2
-The Ride (SUCH a heart warming movie)
-The Number Six

There's probably a few I'm forgetting but those are the main one's that I've watched.

Dude, I recommend The Judas Project. :) It's highly underrated. Mostly because non-Christians hate Christian things for some reason. Check it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107284/

[njshadow]

Wow, after watching the entire trailer for Left Behind I feel like watching the movie again. It's SUCH an emotional ride and, in my opinion, very well made for a Christian movie. Like I said, it's not one of those corny cheaply made movies, this one really does get you thinking and the characters are soooo compelling.

[rse2]

Millennium,
Boy and His Dog,
Equilibrium,
Gattaca,
The Shadow,
The Phantom,

Depends on what you mean by "under-rated" and by whom is it being "rated". Rated as "Art" or entertainment.

The more movies you see the more you'll see under-rated and over-rated ones. Just look at the divide over Speed Racer. Jeff and Dan liked it a lot Alex almost hated it. Commercial reviewers almost universally panned it.

I liked it a lot.
Go figure.

I enjoyed Left Behind but I don't think it was "under-rated".

[njshadow]

I'll definitely have to check it out.

[njshadow]

Oh my gosh, I just saw a clip from Left Behind 3. I WANNA SEE THAT NOW!! :eek:

The Russian dude known as Nicolai Carpathia is the Anti-Christ in the movie for those who don't know.

EDIT - Just found the trailer for Left Behind 3: World at War. incredible.

[nshady]

I thought Paycheck was pretty good. Stupid, but good.

[ryanw14]

The Cable Guy

I'm not sure how underrated it is but I hear it getting bashed all the time. I think it's hilarious though.

[ghostbeezy]

Equilibrium

It kinda slid in the darkness, becuase it wasn't the matrix. However, I thought the movie owned. Christian Bale doing Gun-Kata? kthx.

I loved Cable Guy! :D Gotta love that medieval fight between Broderick and Carrey! :D

[rabidbadger]

I don't know, that movie was billed as a "dark" comedy, but it was still too hollywood to be dark enough. Hollywood castrated the dark movie, Brazil, and wasn't till the dirctors cut that things were put right. Both movies had their good points, though.

dark comedy for me is "the cook, the thief, his wife, and her lover"

the only honest "dark" comedies from hollywood were, "donnie darko" and "heathers", maybe "the war of the roses" but would have to see it again.

[esophagus]

The Craft? Really? People liked that? Huh.

[msmags]

OMG The Craft. I LOVED this movie. It's one of the first movies I ever bought on DVD.

[damnedeyez]

The Craft? Really? People liked that? Huh.

yep, it was quite entertaining...

[rabidbadger]

I heard it was good. gonna check it out.

[MaxTheSilent]

The Craft? Really? People liked that? Huh.

What? You'd prefer THE COVENANT, BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE or any of that crap designed purely to be used as a wallpaper for some emo MySpace blog?

THE CRAFT kicks ass.

[esophagus]

The Craft is like a teen horror flick that doesn't even have quality effects. Just bad. I know among all of my RL friends it is quite hated and mawked. I honestly didn't realize people enjoyed it. Perhaps I (we) missed something.

I thought Evolution was really funny when it first came out, but I haven't actually seen it since.

I think EVOLUTION is one of the worst movies of all time. I actually won that DVD in a competition. Watched it once in utter disgust then gave it to a friend, trying to forget I'd ever seen it.

Ivan Reitman took what was originally a quite dark script and decided "I want to make MEN IN BLACK." And as you can see he failed completely.

As with Kasdan's jaw-droppingly awful DREAMCATCHER this is a travesty of modern cinema that has miraculously managed to avoid most people's 'Worst Movies Ever' lists. Although it's easily on mine.

But if you like it, then more power to ya'...

[dolson]

Equilibrium

Totally agree! Equilibrium was what the second Matrix movie should have been.

It's interesting, just about everyone I've talked to who has seen Evolution (which admittedly isn't many) has almost as strong an opinion about the movie as most people do about the theory itself. They either love it or despise it, which to me is the mark of a real cult classic.:D

[MaxTheSilent]

Well, time always tells on that score.

But for me EVOLUTION is utter crap that everyone involved would do well to pretend they never had anything to do with it.

Big Trouble
Brainscan
Confidence
Go
Meet Joe Black
Virtuosity

They were absolutely great and little to no one has seen them that I know.

Also, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.... it's a good deal better than people anticipate it will be in my experience.

[mrpopular]

Hmmm. Let me think.. alot were already mentioned.


So how about The Salton Sea (Val Kilmer Ftw) that was an awesome movie. Man there is a few more I can't think of.

[dougleach]

Being John Malkovich

[MaxTheSilent]

BEING JOHN MALKOVICH was a multi-Oscar nominee. I don't think it really qualifies as 'under-rated'.

[godmode]

Gattaca, my favourite underrated scifi movie.

If you ask the average person, most have never heard of it. It did not get a widespread release. I had to go to a local "art house" to see it when it came out. I guess it depends on your definition of under-rated.

LOVED Meet Joe Black!

[esophagus]

I always get Meet Joe Black confused with Mighty Joe Young because they were both released around the same time, and have "Joe" in the title. This is also the reason I have never seen Meet Joe Black.

I just wish they would come out with Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League already

Marie Antoinette

The latter probably because I'm just a Sofia Coppola fanboy.


also a think The Village was a wee bit underrated.

[funkjomamma]

The Super Mario Brothers movie.

[MaxTheSilent]

The Super Mario Brothers movie.

Stop! You're hurting me...:eek:

[ryudo]

The Super Mario Brothers movie.

Nah that movie is where it should be.

It's in a different category that "it's so terrible I should not like this one bit but for some reason you love it"

I like that movie ...I would say Plan 9 from outer space or anything ed wood fits in that category also haha.

[rse2]

Dune. It just came to me. The first David Lynch 1984 Dune not the 2000 mini-series.

I Loved it. Critics HATED it.
