Underrated Movies

Geekyfanboy · July 03, 2010, 09:39:40 PM

I was watching Sky High a few days ago and it's such a great movie but seems that so few people have seen it.. So I thought I would start a new thread and see what other movies (any genre) that you guys feel don't get their just rewards.

I have more.. but want to see what you guys think?

Well, I hate to say this, but I really like Hudson Hawk and the Last Action Hero.

"Starship Troopers". I can watch that once a week and still get find it hysterical and exciting.

Dark City

"The Island" - the kernels of a good intelligent Scifi movie there - ruined by the ridiculous chase scenes.

Gotta say I agree with all of the above, except Dark City. Don't know it well enough.

Kung Fu Hustle.

+1- Dark City

I have many, but one springs to mind from a recent Anomaly Podcast I listened to.
"Krull" from 1983. Love that movie!

Totally agree with you Rico.. another movie from the 80's that seems to get over looked is Willow.. that's one of my all time favorite fantasy movies.

Your mentioning "Willow" made me think of another one from around that time: "LadyHawke". Rutger Hauer is one of my favorite actors- which leads me into another: "The Hitcher". Not sci fi, but still pretty intense and also under-rated.

willow and krull were both great!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 'Galaxy Quest' because you can just imagine the TNG cast getting abducted by a race of aliens to save them from inhalation. Plus Alan Rickman is brilliant in it.

I totally agree.. that movie is always on my list of under rated movies..
