Underrated movies.

[Sir Og]

I remembere seing a very interesting movie over 10 years ago on cable. It was a low budget flic but it was very good funny movie.

I did some research and found out that this is a 1991 film named High Strung. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102032/

Anybody alse remember this or similary underrated and unknown good movies?

This isn't underrated methinks. It had some awards IIRC. It's number 110 on IMDB.

Anyway. Keep em coming

12:01 is IMHO underrated. Sure it wasn't as good as Groundhog Day, but it's more serious... too bad nobody knows that movie (and is only available in region 1*)


*What is the point in putting a region "lock" on a movie, when they're not planning on releasing it elsewhere?

It did poorly at the box office. Better on DVD.

I remember that movie. I watched it about 15 years ago. I don't remember much about it, but I loved the part where he made fun of the super-conscientious waitress.

"Quills" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180073/ ) was a movie that I think didn't get the attention it deserved - sure, it got an oscar nomination for the lead performance, but still... it just seems that very few people I've mentioned it to have seen it.

I probably wouldn't have seen it either, if it wasn't for a sudden whim on one day, with time to kill, to go to the movies and pick a movie at random. Turned out to be one of my favourite movies.

I think Kill Bill is underrated...

...in the sense that everyone I've talked to have felt quite indifferent to the films.

I think they are absolute genius.

I mean, they are the only films made this decade that I like. And other people yawn at mention of them. God I hate people.

Yes, the Kill Bills were great movies. Pai Mei

A great film- and it still grosses people out.

I thought Ruth Gordon was a great actor- loved her in 'Rosemary's Baby' and in 'Whatever Happened To Aunt Alice ?'

I'd even watch a rerun of 'Columbo' just to see her act in it.
