Blasphemy. What movie before it told all it's audience they were consumer driven zombies? It might have the most important message in it ever.
There is a number of anti-consummerist movies in the '60s and '70s. Zabriskie Point comes to mind, or Network.

Macgruber is one of my favorite comedies over the last 10 years, I think it was critically panned.


Kristen Wiig gives me the weirdest boners.

Underrated: Rustlers' Rhapsody

One of my Dad's friends tried to get me to watch this movie for years and finally actually bought me the DVD. I expected it to be horrible and I still don't know why he wanted me to see it so badly, but it was pretty damn funny and I'm glad I finally watched it. Until you posted this I don't think I've ever run into anyone else that's seen it.

Watched Lost Highway again after like 20 years, still think its massively underrated especially the party scene with the devil/evil. Such a chilling scene.

Overrated: Memento. What a horrible movie everybody seems to love.

Underrated: Rush Hour. Yeah, I know "Underrated???" yes Jackie Chan himself doesn't like it! So it's underrated.

Underrated title depends on who I'm talking to. This board or the plebs.

Overrated: There Will Be Blood
Solid movie, with some phenomenal shots and top-level acting... But holy fuck, it just drags forever, and then ends. Seen it twice and it never felt cohesive. Definitely don't think it's worthy of the praise it gets from some people.

Under-appreciated: Mulholland Drive. Just amazing. A cluster-fuck of awesome.

And to answer the, "no 20 year old's know about Fight Club". Just about anyone I have ever known who is currently in their 20s has seen Fight Club.

Ps. I'd say Snatch as underrated, but just about any guy I have ever met who I thought was a solid person has seen and loved Snatch. So I don't think that works at all.

Underated. Pandorum, great scifi concept along with great cinematics and a twist.

Overrated. Deadpool, tried to be funny for an adult audience (felt like a written in one day Seth McFarlane production).
