Yes that is quite a good movie and it gets so depressing around the halfway mark.sravankb said:

Not necessarily underrated, but I'd say it's overlooked, so I'm going to throw in some praise for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. When people think of "good Star Trek movies", they generally go to The Wrath of Khan, maybe First Contact, and the recent series reboot. However, The Voyage Home is special for a reason: because of its plot, it forced the actors to actually act. They couldn't hide behind technobabble or special effects any more - and they pulled it off admirably.
Taken, everyone gave the same complaint and it was a stupid one. You know what it was? That he was to mean. Apparently a protagonist that doesn't make a storybook ending is just not a good one.
Honestly, I've separated First Blood away from the rest of the Rambo movies, the rest of the movies are a fair amount of ass compared to the first one.Furburt said:

I don't know if it is exactly underrated anymore considering that I have just seen a commercial for a movie called Repomen which is about a futuristic society in which corporations run a world organ trade, and the main character is a man sent out to reposses the organs of people who cannot make their payments.Iconsting said:

Serious answer: The Brothers Bloom. Great movie that few have heard of let alone seen.
Funny (but true) answer: Half Past Dead. It's Seagal's funniest movie and I absolutely un-ironically love it!

That movie soared miles over my head! It took 3 tries for me to understand what the hell happened. Great movie though, probably the best movie out there that explores time travel seriously.DustyDrB said:
Here's one I'm sure most adult men won't agree with: Aladdin. Greatest Disney musical ever! Then theirs Mallrats, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back!, which most of the people I know haven't seen. And even though its not a movie, I'm gonna show some Invader Zim love here too.
The Messenger;
It's the story of Joan of Arc told in such a way that allows you the viewer to decide for yourself; was she really sent by god? Or was Joan merely a psychotic with a sword? Dustin Hoffman has a few scenes in this movie that really sell it for me. Who is he exactly? (My fave scene is when he's questioning Joan about the "signs" she witnessed. You'll know it when you see it.

There is a little known film called Repo Man, starring Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez, freaking strange film but i totally enjoyed it.
Also there are a few Terry Gilliam films that aren't widely known but are awesome, like the Fisher King and Tideland, both featuring the pure awesome that is Jeff Bridges.
