Underrated films

[Joe Strummer]

Of Time and City is shit, watched it last night on some recommendation from this thread. Very overrated, probably because it's about Liverpool.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The burbs. Shit should be ranked alongside the likes of citizen Kane.

I fucking love The 'Burbs. I spot something different every time I watch it, which is probably every second week the rate that ITV show it.

Southern comfort. Freaked me the fuck out that film, I'd hate to be lost in the hillbilly strewn wilds of Louisiana.

Broken link from earlier in the thread can now be replaced by this:

[Stickman]

Bradley Cooper's best film and Vinnie Jones's ain't bad either probably because he doesn't speak,based on a Clive Barker short story

 

[Total Longo]

Two films i have watched recently that i hadn't seen in ages. Both absolute quality, for differing reasons.

Seldom seen and very difficult to get hold of but well worth the effort if you can dig a copy out. Ben Gazzara plays an ultra-cool American pimp hustling in Singapore during the fag end of the Viet Nam war. Apart from servicemen on R&R his clients and friends include ex-pat businessmen (including the wonderful Denholm Elliot, Joss Ackland and erm....Rodney Bewes. Yes, 'that' Rodney Bewes. Such is his talent for his work Jack comes under the scrutiny of both the CIA and the affronted local mob. This has a great authenticity of time and place about it and benefits greatly from some fantastic performances. Highly recommended.

A great musical superhero movie.

 

Captain Invincible was caught up in the McCarthy witch hunt and was labelled a communist because he wore red underwear. Thus he wound up a drunken bum in Australia. However, the world is plagued by the work of Mr. Midnight played by Christopher Lee. Thus Captain Invincible must overcome his alcoholism and rise up to save the world.

 

A great slice of musical comedy. It has Christopher Lee singing and dancing and Alan Arkin doing what he does except in tights. If you dont like this move you a raging homosexualist.

Great minds think alike, Tony.

Great minds think alike, Tony II is also pretty decent.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

K-PAX

 

Anybody said that? Quality film that. Spacey and Bridges. If you've not seen it, get on it.

Agreed.

 

Of course, being a pretentious wankshaft whenever I get the chance, I'll have to also add Hombre Mirando al Sudeste.

[Mendoza]

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Agreed.

 

 

K-PAX is ace. Needs more love

[AngryOfTuebrook]

It's probably not underrated amongst the chin-stroking cogniscenti, but Shenandoah is not one that gets regularly talked about by the cool kids.  It should be.  It's something else.  I watched it months ago and thought "yeah, OK, that was good"... but there's something about it that sticks with you.  It sets you up as if it could be heartwarming, but it's actually quite unsettling.

James Stewart stars as the widowed patriarch of a Virginia family, who promised his wife that he would keep their children safe from the encroaching Civil War.

 

 

He fails.

Great minds think alike, Tony II is also pretty decent.

 

Never Heard of the Cunt, Tony III is a bit weak.

 

However, Tony IV : The Quimmening is a sparkling return to form.
