Movies you think are great but are underrated

I can rattle off a bunch of good movies, not that they are under-rated but most are older and people have not discovered them yet.
There are the new movies Red Dawn and Total Recall, the originals are great. I haven’t seen the new Red Dawn yet but The new Total Recall cannot be compared to the original.
One of my favourite movies is pretty much unheard of, it is not good enough to be good and it is not bad enough to be good, most people will never see it: Hard Rain with Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater.
I will just pump out a bunch of films I like:
Demons 1&2 Dario Argento
Evil Dead 1, 2 & Army of the Dead
Return of the Living Dead 1&2
Dawn of the Dead original is best but the remakes not bad.
Day of the Dead original is best but the remakes so-so.
The Resident Evil saga
There are a lot of great Stephen King adaptations, my fav is Stand By Me
Willow has Val Kilmer and some Potter fans may know Warwick Davis
Road House
Predator these movies are great and so are most of the Alien movies, the cross overs are don’t do justice but they are what they are. I enjoyed the Robert Rodriguez Predators.
Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York are great Kurt Russell films, another of his is called Soldier, I love that movie.
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, a lot of people wont like this for Kevin Costner but the supporting cast is brilliant, especially Alan Rickman, a few will know from Potter, in a bad guy role that I believe tops Gruber in Die Hard.
The Fifth Element, I recently claimed this as my favourite movie of all time.
The Shogun Assasin, this is actually a compilation of scenes from a series, it takes some of the best things and puts them in one feature.
A fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are actually a trillogy of spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood, the last is one of the best westerns of all time. Another good western is Once Upon a Time in the West.
The BeastMaster, I grew up on this film, I love it but most people say it is so bad its good or it’s just plain bad.
The Gate
The Toxic Avenger
Flight of the Navigator
Explorers
Never Ending Story
Brain Dead (aka Dead Alive)
The REC films are good
House
The Running Man
Blade Runner
Twister
Warriors
The Crazies, the original was great, the remake has Timothy Olyphant and I always like him.
The Omen trillogy
The Grudge, the Hollywood remake is pretty crazy but I love the original Japanese films.
The Exorcist
Vanishing Point
Smokey and the Bandit
Raw and Delirious Eddie Murphy, he has a few good ones like 48 Hours and its sequel, Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America but I always liked the Golden Child for some reason.
Point Break
I like Van Damme movies such as Cyborg, BloodSport, the Quest and Double Impact.
A really good international (foreign language) zombie film I love is La Hordé.
Some comedies: Young Frankenstein, CaddyShack, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Summer Rental.
If I think of more I will post.

@trek79, Hard Rain is an awesome fucking movie.

@manimal, Interstate 60 ? Wow. :)

Revolver is a crazy awesome movie that illustrates what the ego is and it’s effect on people. You can watch it all on YouTube. It’s got low ratings from critics but great ratings from fans.

@beyond, Thank you Sasho, I thought I was the only one.

For the 3rd movie in the Evil Dead trilogy, it is actually Army of Darkness, not the Dead.
A few other movies: Monster Squad, Silver Bullet, Lost Boys, Animal House, White Men Can’t Jump, Passenger 57, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Fortress, Highlander, Malcolm X, Boyz n the Hood, Menace to Society, American History X, American Psycho, Snatch.

@trek79, The only one what?

Not sure really what it’s status but I heart huckabees ! the soundtrack is also worth checking out

and I can say most definitely the Burb’s w/tom hanks,corey feldman, carrie fisher is an underrated movie

Before Sunrise & Before Sunset. they are Romance movies. Really good underrated movies! I would totally love to know what people think about them. Plus I really like the song at the end of the second movie, before sunset. Happy viewing! :)

I would go with arguably my favourite movie ever. It’s called ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bag’ starring Robert Downey Jr, and Val Kilmer. Really good dark humour and a fantastic script.

I would really recommend this movie for any feature film fan. Plus Robert Downey, Jr… Need I say more?

I love anything by Arnofsky:
Requiem for a Dream
The Fountain
Pi
Black Swan
The Wrestler

Also A Scanner Darkly is a solid choice

And even though its a kids animated movie Wall-e has some pretty deep implications.

larz and the real girl.
