Underrated movies

Hello. What movies do you think may have been snubbed at the time but in retrospect, are better than initially received?

For me "Prince Of Darkness" and "The Last Action Hero" come to mind.

The Specialist

Sharon Stone was pretty hot in that movie. ;)

Yup Yup specially all nude =P

@indzman:

I feel that 9 doesnt get enough recognition

Equilibrium, We Were Soldiers, Windtalkers, Never Back Down 1 & 2, Da Vinci Code, Captain Phillips, Saving Mr Banks, Charlie Wilson's War, Catch Me if You Can, Sabotage, Lone Survivor, Mandela a Long Walk to Freedom, Riddick, Rush. There are probably more, but you get the picture

some of those were oscar winners so no, captain phillips and catch me if you can got the praise it deserved.

In terms of being underrated, I think Feast is a good one. Got shit reviews but I thought it was an awesomely fun B horror movie. It also has one of if not THE BEST B horror moments ever (can't specify do to spoilers, but those who have seen know exactly what I am talking about)!

Note: Went to link to a trailer and realized that the trailer spoils the exact scene I was referring to. AVOID THE TRAILERS! Just check the movie out if you like stuff such as Evil Dead 2 and Cabin in the Woods.

The American.

Oh, oh, oh ohohoohohohoh.

Cable Guy. This movie got shat on at release. One of the best dark comedies made imo.

Wonderful.

Spaceballs as well (for some reason) got shat on during its release.

@uninspiredcup: I cannot fathom people not enjoying Spaceballs. Mel Brooks is a GOD!

Top of my head, 'Stoker'.

Going to have to go with the movie "Dredd".. Took me completely by surprised, I was dragged along expecting a bad movie, what I got was quite the opposite.. That is the most recent movie I can think of that was criminally under-ratted.

I agree. Feast is a hilarious movie. Very original, very funny.

Brain Damage
Laid to Rest
Grave Encounters
Funny Games US

Funny Games is garbage.

October Sky, and We Were Soldiers.

@sSubZerOo: good choice

@ps4hasnogames: still went under the radar imho

i agree with the last action hero, the librarian trilogy on TNT, was TOTALLY underrated.

RocknRolla

Sinister

Grave encounters

The Mist

That's all I can think of for now :)

It's one of the best political thrillers in a long time.

Spartan with Val Kilmer

Snow White and the Huntsman

Sucker Punch

DOA: Dead or Alive

Absolutely love these movies.

Maybe Lucy

Idk, I think

• Sinister
• John Carpenter's The Thing
• Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

Ewok Adventures, that shit is better than Episodes I - IV

This is a great answer

Indeed.

Outlander. I love that movie, but it feels like nobody ever watched it. :(

smelly vagina

Birth. Ridiculously underrated.

To name a few

• The Riddick movies
• Dredd
• Star Trek Into Darkness
• Tropic Thunder
• Pandorum
• Prometheus
• Cowboys and Aliens
• Skyfall

Dredd

No Man's Land

It won many awards including an Oscar but not that many people have heard of it.

Dredd was very well received. It done absolute shit in the box office but critically, it done really well. Very sad it will probably never get any (and it was planned) sequels.

Rocky 4 as well comes to mind. At the time, critics ripped it. I think in retrospect, it's a classic that enriches humanity by being fucking awesome. Almost like the best comic book movie made, that didn't have a comic book. Even to this day the montages still get mimicked.
