Underrated films

[General Dryness]

That film Cube is shite, I'd have it in an overrated films thread

It was underrated for ages, then people heard about it and it became overrated.

 

Still a good film though.

Inherit the wind.

[Tony Moanero]

Scarecrow (1973)

Is it shite shite. It's boss.

[The Golden Eel]

Is it shite shite. It's boss.

Is it shite boss. It's shite.

True romance. Not the best film but the sicilian scene and James gandolfini are awesome

Nah, that's defo not an underrated film that. It's on a par with being more overrated than Fargo & no country for old men that

[Tony Moanero]

Fargo isn't overrated!

[Red74]

It is. Vastly as well

[Tony Moanero]

Not in my opinion.

[cloggypop]

Both Fargo and No Country are fucking boss films.

[setreal]

Boss boss or shite boss?

Zwarte Boek (Black Book) is good as well if you don't mind Dutch films. Carice van Houten is excellent in it.

 

I've never really understood people who will skip films because they have subtitles.

 

There are too many good things made around the World to miss out because of that.

Correct. I have seen so many good foreign films because I ignored the subtitles part and I now favour foreign films over English speaking ones.

Heresy. For me the best two Coen Brother's films.

Tend to be a lot more immersive too, you can't look away at all or you'll miss what's going on. With the English ones it's easy to get distracted and check your phone or stick the kettle on or whatever.

Fargo and O Brother, Where Art Thou? , in my opinion.

Since I started working for myself if I'm at home I tend to have something on in the background that I don't really have to pay attention to.

 

The flip side is that a lot of the time when I am trying to watch something I end up trying to do a bit of work. 

 

A foreign film definitely does help with that and allow me to switch off from work stuff a lot easier.

There are just so many good ones out there. I also have a tendency towards liking more foreign stuff than English now, there are still decent English language films coming out but they certainly seem to be the minority right now. 

 

I also much prefer someone speaking in their own language to something like Anthropoid where it took me about half an hour before I felt like I could understand because they spoke English with an accent instead of just hiring native actors and using sub titles.

I'm fully on board with this. There seems to a trend over the last few years where everyone seems to mumble there way through films instead of just speaking clearly. I thought I was going deaf as I just couldn't sit through a movie without having to rewind what was just said. I don't actively seek out foreign films but now I think about it, some of the best films I've seen have been foreign with subtitles - city of god, downfall & pans labyrinth from memory

Also agree with the mumbling.  Trendy method acting.  Because in real life nobody enunciates, you know.

Brilliant film this. Only watched it about a year ago and I'm gonna watch it again later.
