Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
A horror movie all about a big misunderstanding leading to absolute chaos.
And it’s got Alan Tudyk in it. You just know you’re gonna have a good time when he’s involved.
This is a movie that forces you to examine your biases.
Baby driver I know it’s decently well known, but honestly not even close to enough.
Spacey ruined so much…
Gran Torino
Hundreds of Beavers
The old one you never heard of.
“Report To The Commissioner” 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it’s got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.
“Honey, please don’t undermine me in front of the hostage.”
Mr and Mrs Smith is one of my favorites.
Come on, let’s talk about this! You don’t want to go to bed angry!
Great soundtrack, too.
The Net (1995)
Ok why
It’s from a time the new era started to take off while most ordinary people (and filmmakers) had no idea what was really coming. Nor did they really understand any of it. Like Hackers this makes The Net extremely interesting to watch, it’s not good, but it just keeps on giving!
Good movie, good acting, and even though the tech was absolutely silly the core concept is still as valid today as it was 30 years ago.
I love The Net, it’s a decent thriller even if janky by todays standards. I saw it as a kid some years after release, and the tech side of it was absurd even then. But the core plot is basically Hitchcock like, and Sandra Bullock is good in it. If you can let the silly tech side of things go (it was made when the Internet was a new concept even to users, so it does get things wrong), it’s actually a decent enough plot.
Waterworld and Postman
Waterworld slaps, considering checking out Postman on your recommendation but kinda biased against book adaptations
Those are the same movie, but one has no land and the other has no water.
Waterworld is awful - definitely not underrated.
Waterworld is amazing. I ordered the Arrow blu-ray release the day it came out. Having an HD, official release of the Ulysses Cut is pretty cool.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Ford
That movie is a legitimate work of art in which every performance is understated and every frame could be hung on the wall of any gallery. But because it’s quite long, and because nothing gets blown up, no one really paid any attention to it.
I genuinely only know about three people IRL who have seen it, and I’m one of them.
I happened to catch it on tv late one night, it was really good.
The Fall, unless we draw a distinction between underrated and under-noticed
Had a chance to watch The Fall in a theater recently and it was so good. It’s too bad more people haven’t seen it
Incredible movie, and the 4k version just became available in the past year. One of my top 5 favorite movies.
Thankskilling (2008). Low budget horror movie about a talking turkey (a puppet) who murders college students. It’s one of the most ridiculous and hilarious movies I’ve seen.
Crosspost on B movie bonanza
Sounds like that sloth slasher movie.
It’s like that and the movie where a pair of jeans comes to life and murders everyone (Slaxx) 👖
Adding Rubber to the list 😂. Excellent thread.
Troll Hunter
Pandorum
I really liked Pandorum. It was weird.
Troll Hunter is brilliant!
Repo! The Genetic Opera
The music is incredible. The Gothic setting is great. The father/daughter storyline is complex. I wish it was more popular.
The Man From UNCLE (2015)
Henry Cavill and Arnie Hammer chewing up the scenes, nice fast paced plot, fun and engaging. A real shame it’s a Guy Richie film, but since I don’t pay him when I watch it I really don’t mind 🏴☠️
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s wrong with Guy Ritchie?
Best spy movie since pre-Craig Bonds for sure. Nobody likes funny spy movies anymore :(
Cowboys and Aliens is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Street Fighter has survived to become a cult classic.
Tusk 2014 (at 45/36 on RT, 5.4 imdb). Funny concept, funny effects, some of the dialogue a bit shit but overall very enjoyable
