Oh, A Simple Plan is so good.
@dogstyle6349 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Extremely loud, incredibly close. Such an extraordinary and original film.
Boogie Nights. Stacked cast with the perfect blend of humor, tension and sadness.

PRISONIRS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN' MY TOP 20
@ClarenceThomasDrinksPeePee April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
err no
@Lexington101 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
A Simple Plan is Brilliant
@user-xo7gt4qb2o April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Dredd is one of my favorite films of all time and not only it deserves more attention and also definitely deserves a sequel.
@waynethomson84uk April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
seen them all and i personally would not say any of the movies are underrated
@user-bw1zr4rs4i April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Children of men. Didn’t make a profit in theatres and not nearly enough recognition at awards season, though it being one of the best movies I’ve seen of the last couple decades. Seriously this movie is beyond amazing and it frustrates me that no one talks about it
@dicksmith3163 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
A Midnight Clear, Better Off Dead, The Beast, The Shadow, Pastime.
@emgee691 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Thumbs up to Blow Out and Millers Crossing. Agree re John Travolta.
One to add to your list....a Nartin Scorcese which doesn't ever get much press...KUNDUN. A stunning, lavish feast for all the senses , part fiction, but based on some truths about the early formative years of the current Dahli Lama, the 14th.
It's like enjoying fantasy - until you realise it's built around a real, currently living, person. KUNDUN is the name of the very first Dahli Lama
and the belief that he reincarnates himself periodically. It is truly worth a watch...
@gregorysilva2798 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Some of the movies I consider underrated Ordinary People, Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, Soldier, Fish called Wanda, A Mighty Heart, The Truman Show
@salvatoresultana4058 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Cool Hand Luke is a classic movie but I feel that it doesn’t get the attention or the credit it deserves.
@user-tv1tw7sr4q April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
In Bruges is massively underated
@dariodesu April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
spy game 2001?
@Plflybit April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
The Crow.
@simondfrost7925 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Dredd, gatica, matchstick men, 50/50 are great on the real.

also... Eyebrows has become quite the transverse and wonderful actor
@user-vp1vm1gn2c April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Clue is one of my favorites. If it's on TV I watch it even though I have the DVD. The best part is when the 2 in the attic and the 2 on second floor all run into each other. We always reverse and replay. Sometimes in slow motion. All of the cast is excellent but Michael McKeon is so hilarious. Well, they all are. "I had to stop her screaming!" And how Tim Curry says " Nuo". "Nuo?" "Nuo."
@yossarian6799 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
some of these are "underrated" in the critical sense, others ignored by mainstream audiences...

THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT - put aside your homophobia. ABBA turds and ping pong balls...
AVALON - few films better capture the spirit of the "American Dream"
BABE - 1975 biopic of legendary female athlete "Babe" Didriksen-Zaharias, who later founded the LPGA.
BEST IN SHOW - becoming a cult classic...
BOILER ROOM
BREAKER MORANT - "SHOOT STRAIGHT, YOU BASTARDS!"
CITIZEN X - low-budget but excellent HBO production about Russian police attempting to capture serial killer Andrei Chikitilo amidst Soviet bureaucracy
CITY OF JOY
CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND
COP LAND - unfairly dismissed as a studio "cop flick"
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS - Allison Janney ROCKS as trailer-trash "Loretta"
EDUCATING RITA
ELECTION - that it's not even a cult classic is criminal
FOUR DAYS IN SEPTEMBER - in Portuguese, subtitled, true story of the 1969 kidnaping of US Ambassador to Brazil Charles Elbrick
GALAXY QUEST
A HATFUL OF RAIN - 1957 flick with Don Murray and Eva Marie Saint touching on the then-taboo subject of drug addiction
JACKIE BROWN - Tarentino's best, I don't care what anybody says
JUNE BUG
LITTLE CHILDREN
LONE STAR - John Sayles + Chris Cooper winning formula.
MATEWAN - early John Sayles. Chris Cooper's film debut
THE MILAGRO BEAN FIELD WAR
THE MONEY PIT - forget cinematic excellence... it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Tom Hanks should've stuck to comedy
MURIEL''S WEDDING
NORTH COUNTRY
OCTOBER SKY
ONCE WERE WARRIORS - buy it TODAY if you haven't seen it.
ONE FALSE MOVE
PACK OF LIES - great made-for-TV adaptation of the cold-war-era play, with Ellen Burstyn and Teri Garr. Based on a true story
RADIO DAYS
RADIO FLYER - Bobby DOES NOT fly off to some magic kingdom...
THE RAIN PEOPLE - FF Coppola's breakout. James Caan, Shirley Knight, Robert Duvall
ROAD GAMES - a TBS late-night staple in the 80s
THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS
RUNNING ON EMPTY
SECONDHAND LIONS
A SERIOUS MAN
A SIMPLE PLAN
SLING BLADE - it's amazing how many people have never seen it
SMALL TIME CROOKS - ignored Woody Allen gem. Loose remake of 1942's Larceny Inc.
THE SNAPPER - the odd-one-out from Roddy Doyle's "Barrytown" trilogy. Colm Meany is priceless in this one.
STIR OF ECHOES
TENDER MERCIES - Robert Duvall's best performance ever
THE WINDOW - 1949 "boy who cried wolf" flick
@imsomewhatcertain1024 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
“Sky High” (2005) is the most underrated superhero movie. This movie was a theatrical release, but it mostly gained its following via the Disney Channel. The camera angles make the movie look like a comic book, and the movie focuses more on sidekicks rather than typical heroes. Also, Bruce Campbell is the gym teacher; which is awesome.
@andrewburton9643 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Don't really agree with half of those. Where are Sideways and Lost in Translation, those were criminally under rated on their release. Great films in my all time top ten
@psycake1310 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
The Cable Guy (1996)
Directed by Ben Stiller. Stars Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick.
Whenever I ask if people have seen this movie, they usually say they haven't heard of it, which is a crying shame. It is a genius dark comedy and slight thriller(?)
Anyways, I think its a great watch if you're a fan of Jim Carrey's comedic and dramatic portrayals, because it has both.
@torridd April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Kathryn Bigelow is the epitome of underrated films but at the top of her list I'd say is Near Dark. A great film that many haven't heard from.
@torridd April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Dredd? Maybe I should stop watching now?
@JYZProductions April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
thief (1981) was such a boring movie. I gave up after an hour watching it. I don't think there's a single movie on here I'd check out.
@billsingleton6617 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Zissou is so good.
@billsingleton6617 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Millers crossing is as good as Fargo, not sorry.
@halcyonspiral April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Kudos to Pete Travis for Dredd. Though I always wonder how it might have ended up with Verhoeven behind the wheel.
@tatt4music April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Dredd? Really? It was a flop for a reason.
@yiannos7129 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
kiss kiss bang bang is overrated, not underrated. horrible movie
@Jimmytheman1 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Unbreakable
@samuelsmith9932 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Devil in a blue dress doesn't get enough love excellent acting performances
@marcolard6736 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Another movie that is very underrated is A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE (1971) of Sergio Leone 🦁
@BingoNamo-gb8pz April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
“Enemy” & “Nightcrawler” both underrated, both Jake G.
@jarjthejargj6099 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Gingerdead Man 2.
@Kr33gola April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
now all make sense why she was picked for DiabloIV trailer
@ChubbyChecker182 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
Good Call on Milers Crossing, its great... I would have Scorcese's The Age Of Innocence in the top 3
@MrMickeyyy89 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
The Jacket (2006) Incredible acting from Adrian Brody and Kiera Knightly in a phycological thriller that doesn't get anywhere near the credit it deserves.
@lucienstephaneledan4211 April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
What is your problem with VOLUME ??
In the 2020s video makers still can't figure it out ...
@grizzlywhisker April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
This list has some pretty solid lesser known or forgotten about films in it, but then you have a blatant propaganda piece like "Detroit" which is total garbage.
@user-ip7tl6gs2j April 10, 2024 - 5:54 pm
underrated movies..let it ride, the verdict, the assasination of richard nixon, midnight run, the pledge, reuben reuben, quick change, napoleon dynamite, arbitrage. you're welcome!
