That's irrelevant!

Appaloosa. Beautiful movie, Ed Harris stars and directs. It's not your standard Western. Action is quick and brutal and the characters are very non traditional Western. If you liked him in Westworld check him out. I think the movie is very underappreciated.

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).
I'm completely opposite on these two. Pandorum was unbearable in the theaters, and when I watched it again at home a few years later, the only reason I paid any attention was because now I knew that was the awesome and hot Faora El from Man of Steel. It was still terrible.

To be fair though, apparently sci-fi horror doesn't work very well for me, because I'm the one that hates Event Horizon. Which I suppose I might say is overrated, to stay on topic.

Overrated. Snatch, rock and rolla (Guy Ritchie kinda sucks in retrospect), A Mighty Wind, Force Awakens (disclaimer, I'm not too much of a Star wars fan to begin with).

Underated, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. One of Johnny Depp's better roles.

I'm speaking purely from personal experience. The four people I've had conversations with concerning three movie three of them had adverse reactions.

Your friends might be terrible people.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is basically a film-school masturbation fest at this point. Great movie and I love watching it (I've probably seen it two dozen times over the years. Friends love drugs love movies about friends loving drugs) but it is far from underrated.

My most underrated movie ever that I've seen would be Krull. Pretty sure it was critically panned at release, but it is one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy movies from the 80s/early 90s.

Underrated - Signs.

I know a lot of people give it a hard time, but I watched that movie over and over a lot. The script was a little cheesy, but I feel the acting was pretty solid. Even the kids delivered a great performance.

Underrated : easily Dredd
I feel this is kind of the same as what I said earlier about Snatch. I think most people that watch the movie think it's a good movie. The problem is it just isn't all that well known across the masses.

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.

Bro. Bro.


Fight Club I feel is a particularly interesting movie because of how controversial it was at release and how completely and utterly its message died.

I got to watch Frailty at movie night with some fellow nerds and it really caught me by surprise. In a different era I think it could have been a major commercial success.

Yeah, total sleeper hit for me too. Picked it up as a desperate rental one day and was floored. Definitely one of my favorite thrillers of all time.

I look forward to being a geezer and introducing young people to The Usual Suspects, Snatch, Boondock Saints, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Layer Cake.
