Underrated Movies

[MonaLyssa33]

I figured I'd also do a post on underrated movies. What are some movies that you think more people should know about?

Gaslight - one of my favorites, I tell people it is the perfect thriller because it doesn't use any special effects to hype up the tension, the story does it on its own
Dear Heart
Holiday - with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn
Desk Set
Dear Zachary - documentary, this one completely destroyed me, it's really good but heartbreaking
The Mustang - this is a newer one that I checked out from the library and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did
My Man Godfrey
Man in Red Bandana - documentary
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Fantastic Mr. Fox

Twister. Not sure why critics harp on this movie and I don't remember a lot of hype about this movie when it came out...
The Day After Tomorrow. Another disaster movie that I really enjoyed, but again, didn't hear much about it when it came out. I don't know what the reviews say about it.

Tremors. I love Tremors, lol.

Yes, very cool movie!

We recently watched Muriel's Wedding and it was great! Even my husband liked it, and he's ridiculously picky about liking movies.

I love Muriel's Wedding!

My votes for underrated films:
Colossal
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Snatch
Guns Akimbo
Stardust (I like it better than The Princess Bride!)
Hail, Caesar
Sleepy Hollow
The last three Star Wars movies (This coming from someone whose earliest memory of watching a movie is Star Wars: A New Hope)
Chronicles of Riddick
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (As someone who has studied the Legend of King Arthur academically--literature-wise--I expected to hate it. I wanted to hate it. I did not. It was just a lot of fun.)
The Death of Stalin

I am sure there are more, but these are the ones that came to mind.
