[Film] The Most Underrated film ?

[Uncle Spielberg]

What to you is the most underrated film you have seen ?

Went off the radar and was not appreciated as it should have been with the critics and public

I am pitching in with

Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams

A pure delight, great story with a deep message

I adore it

Brazil is a 1985 dystopian science-fiction black comedy film written and directed by Terry Gilliam its been my favourite film for years but hardly anyone seems to know about it

Actually, I’m wondering if “Slade in Flame” needs re-evaluating. Not impressed at the time as a fan, but it did get some critical praise. Is it available anywhere?

 

[HeaviestTed]

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc with the model Milla Jovovich.

I absolutely loved it, every other person who has seen it I know thinks it is awful.

Thought Vanilla Sky and K-Pax were harshly panned.

Eyes Wide Shut is genius and criminally underrated.

AI is underrated and has aged well into a beautiful film.

Bicentennial Man was about a robot who over 200 years learned to love the good in humans and wanted to be accepted as one. He finally did in the end scene. I found it very moving but was poo pood but the critics but lives with me

AI is magical the end scene with mum was very moving for me for personal reasons

Random Quest ((2006) is incredible, based on John Wyndham book. A movie made for BBC4, not the cinema.

Random Quest (TV Movie 2006) ⭐ 6.4 | Romance, Sci-Fi

I gave the same answer in another thread recently: 'Magnolia'.

Cinema at its finest.

Night of the Hunter, panned on release, praised by critics decades later, still too unknown and unappreciated.

30 years on I still can't understand how "Strange Days" wasn't a hit at the time, and hasn't received anything like the attention I think it deserves since.


Edit ...turns out there were positive reviews at the time .... But hardly anyone went to the cinema to watch it. I did, loved it. $40/50M to make. Took less than $10M.

The Railway Man. With Colin Firth. 2013 autobiography. Brilliant.

Restless Natives, a bit under the radar but if you can't smile at that film, you're odd. Magic sound track as well

 

[Motogull]

Christ. What next? Most fairly rated film?

Most tears. ET got that anyway

 

[studio150]

The Brother From Another Plant, a cult classic from 1984, which should be more widely appreciated.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Christ. What next? Most fairly rated film?

The public and critical response to "5-Headed Shark Attack" was very consistent. Having seen it, I am in agreement. Probably the most unifying multiple headed shark attack film.

Restless Natives, a bit under the radar but if you can't smile at that film, you're odd. Magic sound track as well

“Ronnie. Ronnie Witherspoon.”

Great film.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Mary Poppins.
People think its just a kids film....

Rated by Mark Kermode as something else and by me and by nobody else I suspect.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Collateral.
Not entirely under rated but doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
