Here is my underrated list:
...
Whiplash

Great movie, but it's hard to see how a movie that got 94% on RT, won 3 oscars, and was nominated for 2 more including Best Picture, is underrated.

Underrated - Tremors

This scene should be placed in a temple and worshiped everyday.




Definitely the best movie of all time to feature Reba McEntire firing a machine gun.

Tremors is a classic. Watched that one a lot as a kid.

Underrated: Adaptation. Best movie Charlie Kaufman has written, change my mind.

Sgt Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band

with Peter Frampton and the Bee Gee's. I don't know that it's under rated. It's just barely anyone has ever seen it or heard of it. Everyone that I know (two people) that knew of it before I showed it to them already loved it.

Disco Beatles is far out.

The new French submarine movie posted earlier in the Movie forum got me thinking back to this gem (it is also French). It turned out to be a fun movie and for whatever reason still remains obscure and hard to find. I'd recommend checking it out if you haven't, as most of the comments say it channels some pretty hard Bloodborne vibes but interestingly is inspired by true events.

Great movie. The martial arts scenes are really well done with Mani. Trivia - Mani the "Indian" is actually Hawaiian and spent years on the cooking show Iton Chef America. He won martial arts awards as a youth.

Mark Dacascos was/is a beast; he just translated poorly during the late 90s/early 2000s to being a leading action guy. I'm really stoked to see him in John Wick 3; the guy is a legit martial arts badass, and it'll be interesting to see what they do with him in the film.

Brotherhood of the Wolf is/was a great flick; it had a heavy Equilibrium vibe where it was super neat but also not mainstream at all. Great flicks.

Had no clue he was in JW3.

Awesome. What is his role?

Bald badguy assassin, I believe. Haven't looked much deeper to avoid spoilers, but he's featured in one of the trailers.

Underrated - Constantine and the original Silent Hill movie. Two of my all time favorites, subjective as it is. Will rewatch regularly.

Overrated - Black Panther. Bitch, please.
