Question Most Underrated Movies

What's on your list of the most underrated films of all time? Those wonderful pieces of cinema that you alone appreciate, and everyone else just doesn't understand how amazing they really are. London mentioned Independence Day, a massively entertaining flick that just goes unappreciated. And like ID4, most of my pics aren't very serious, so they get a bad rep, but are nonetheless superb entertainment.

Here's my list (in no particular order):



What's on your list?

Apocalypse Now and Dr. Stranglove are UNDERRATED!?! By who!?! In what cave!?! Those are 2 of the most applauded films in the history of cinema!

And they make PERFECT bookends to the REAL juggernaut on your list: Billy Madison. I love that shit.

New friends time. This is the Drome homie. We're your friends now. And in the Drome, those movies are not underrated or unknown.

As far as horror movies go, I think Event Horizon is a very cool and scary movie and is very underrated. I also second the suggestion of In the Mouth of Madness. It seems like Sam Neill has done a lot of great and very much underrated horror movies. The Omen 3 is another that comes to mind.

Dude. Event Horizon is ass. When that dude makes that jetpack at the end and rockets back towards the planet I was laughing my ass off. This was one of the funniest jokes that my friend Kevin and I had during freshman year in college. That was such crap. He literally yells "here I come motha****as!!!" So retarded.
