I doubt anyone under thirty five has even seen fight club.
Chew on that.
Basically every comic book movie ever is over rated. I think vin diesel movies might be under. Not on this board, but in general. Riddick is just the highest quality crap movie since I don't know when. And it is crap. It's so fucking dumb, but so pure and good. Oh God, that part with the dog. Lol. The man is a fucking artist.

Love that Collateral has gotten two mentions for underrated. 13th Warrior is also a good choice (and probably a bit more apt since Collateral did get two acting Oscar noms with Foxx winning it). The thing I really liked about 13th Warrior was it was shaping up to be some kind of fantasy story but it was totally grounded in reality.
Overrated: comic book films. I watch all of them but come away feeling underwhelmed by most of them (liked IM1, Thor1, and Ant-Man enough to rewatch them at some point though). Also, Fast and the Furious films. Again, watch all of them, wonder why I did after doing so. At least I wait for torrents.

Sneakers reminded me of Burn After Reading, which is not exactly underrated but not many have seen it.
I shall be checking out this Stardust of which you speak.

I know a teenager whose favorite film is Fight Club. Suck on that, nerds.

To be fair, most major movies have little substance too. Rare is the "thinker" movie. The problem with Fight Club is that kinda plays at making you think it has some meaningful message or commentary when it mostly doesn't. It's mostly unique in style, presentation, soundtrack, and quotability, which by themselves make for a still quite good movie. But an overrated one nonetheless.

Fight club was a rejection of the materialistic culture of the 1980's, similar to grunge music and a lot of other shit from the 90's. It's an absolute waste of time to debate whether it has "substance" but if you think it was just a mindless action movie you weren't paying attention.

Overrated: Bridesmaids, Avatar, and any Harry Potter movie- None of these will age well
Underrated: Boy and his Dog (foundation of the entire Fallout Franchise and post apocolyptia in general), Hamburger Hill (if not for R. Lee Ermy, this would be the definitive Viet Nam movie), and Immortal Beloved (Oldman in his early prime, better than Amadeus)
