Underrated Movies...


I was wondering what movies you guys think are underrated. I have a few on my list that I think do not get the attention they deserve. Here are mine.

The New Guy

Eurotrip

Heavyweights

Vulgar

Gummo

I realize these are famous but The Unforgiven, Fight Club and Braveheart deserve constant respect.

Blazing Saddles

Yes it was hugely popular but I find that not enough of the young folks have seen this classic.

That movie was incredible. I couldn't believe how well done it was. Usually when they do something like this, especially from a true story, they gloss over the reality and go strictly for sensationalism.

Fallen with Denzel Washington too. The story line and plot were excellent yet I never heard anyone talk about this.

Dead Alive is fuckin' brilliant, one of my top ten for sure.

I'm gonna say Bubba Ho Tep as my favorite underrated movie of all time.

All Troma films, especially Bloodsucking freaks and Terror Firmer, which has Blood for Blood on the soundtrack, when the killer is stabbing that dude to death with his bong, classic.

Someone said Fight Club and American Psycho.... They both got some good attention to them, but not nearly what they deserve. Both are excelent books made into excelent movies.

Candyman 1 & 2 deserve more attention as well. Tony Tood makes such a badass villain and is one of the only horror movie villain I can think of in american film that isn't a white male (with very few exceptions on sex (Ex. Female killer in Urban Legends), but never on race, I am sure there are some but none come to mind.)

Personally I think American Psycho is vastly OVERrated, not UNDERrated. It's a great idea, using a sociopathic killer as a metaphor for yuppies, but it bored the shit right outta me.
