This film is completely underrated. I've watched it since lockdown, still enjoy it.
The new Guy Ritchie 'The Gentleman' is now in my top 5. Have watched it at least 6 times since lockdown and it still makes me laugh |

Totally agree with this, however under siege 2 is really cringe worthy. |

Few of these weren't underrated and were critically acclaimed.
Ones that spring to my mind are:
The Rock
Gran Torino
Boogie Nights
The Mule
Ex Machina
Blade
One that isn't as well known as it should be despite good reviews is Lars and the Real girl.

I feel like The Terminal is often overlooked. Emotionally hard hitting and heart warming film with some well tailored comedy in it. |

The Fall, with Lee Pace. The most beautifully shot film I've ever seen and a hugely emotive story. |

I think I switched 2 off half way through but the first one gets dug out regularly on DVD - Gary Busey is often overlooked in it too |

"The new Guy Ritchie 'The Gentleman' is now in my top 5. Have watched it at least 6 times since lockdown and it still makes me laugh
This 100%. Watched it about 5 times the week of release too, such a return to form and Hugh Grant is amazing haha"
was pleasantly suprised by how good it was. |

"Streets of Fire, Walter Hill film made not long after 48 hours. It has great music Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, Willem De Foe and Rick Moranis playing against type, motorcycles, fight scenes with big hammers a lone hero coming back to town to save his first love.
What’s not to like "
Is that the one with Michael pare in the lead? |

at first i couldn't believe that some had put "dogma" on this list.... but thinking about it it absolutely should be!! dogma is a fantastically underrated film......
also can i add twelve monkeys to the list of underrated films! |

Clerks
Then Dogma but Alan Rickman absolutely steals that film.
Look on YouTube where Kevin Smith talks about Dogma 2 and Weinstein
Agree with 12 monkeys |

I loved Highlander when I first saw it and for many years after but watched it last year and it looked soooooo dated |

"Few of these weren't underrated and were critically acclaimed.
Ones that spring to my mind are:
The Rock
Gran Torino
Boogie Nights
The Mule
Ex Machina
Blade
One that isn't as well known as it should be despite good reviews is Lars and the Real girl.

Seen Dredd mentioned s couple of times.
Absolutely underrated 100%!
Beautiful cinematography and amazing special effects for an "Action" film.
Didn't do well at the Box Office as it was 3D only in the cinemas. But brilliant aftersales.
Sequel isn't likely, but they're in the process of doing a web series ft Karl Urban |

Not many people have picked art films .... Fab seems to have a type of viewer? |

What ‘art’ films ? Eraserhead or Irreversible?

At a guess I’d say that art films are a niche in n their own right with the swinger community being another and finally those that participate in the forums are yet another niche.

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact |
There are a lot of good films mentioned, although underrated, are still viewed in positive light.
A film which is deemed bad by critics is the infamous Waterworld. Maybe it was being measured by its colossal budget but I didn't think it was that terrible. As a youngster, whenever it was on the telly I would sit and watch it.
Armageddon is another cheesy film which quite a lot may have as a guilty pleasure type of film. Released around a similar type was the less glamourous Deep Impact which I preferred. I wouldn't say it was universally regarded as crap but in most people's eyes, it doesn't even register on the radar when dwarfed by Bruce Willis' blockbuster.
Fast and Furious :Tokyo Drift. The spin off from the main franchise which was the least popular. I enjoyed the self contained story. It was cheesy even compared to normal F & F standards. Acting wasn't great. How were high school kids driving highly specced cars?? Who cares, I'll still watch it. |

That’s why I used those two (which I have seen) as examples because they’re trying to do something else within their storytelling or the way they are shot.
Maybe it requires another thread |

Yeah Im a big fan of David lynch but the only films of his I'd say are underrated are Dune and Fire Walk with Me. Both of which I love but they were critically panned |

The Losers.
Seriously love this film, came out around the time The A Team remake happened and with a similar story just kind of fell by the wayside.
Adapted from a very good graphic novel in 2010 and starring what would know be known as A-Listers Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Idris Elba.
It’s a fun film, not the best of plots but a lot to enjoy and well worth a watch. |

The Fanatic. Not much of a film really, with a few holes in the plot, but I thought Travolta played the lead really well and was very believable. |

The beginning where they’re talking in the forest, is the closest to real Soldiers talking to each other that I’ve seen on recent films. |
