Can you name some underrated gems for us to watch?
AJ and I are looking for some underrated movies to watch and review on our show in the next couple of months which will be relatively light on new releases. We have a few in mind, but we're looking for suggestions because we want to make this an ongoing segment on our show.
Thanks guys! Hope you're all having a great weekend. - Charlie, your average moviegoer |

Can you list what movies you're already considering? I mean, for context on what others could suggest?

See, what I mean is your request for hidden gems is way too broad, you need to give some parameters as to what kind of hidden gems you are looking for.

A couple things we're thinking about:

Could come up with more in time but just going from my favourite films I'd say these could qualify as being either underrated or hidden; or both.
Lars and the Real Girl 500 Days of Summer Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Man on the Moon Unbreakable Heavenly Creatures The Hard Way Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) Gremlins 2 In the Line of Fire They Live Galaxy Quest Charley Varrick Though it depends on what you're taking as the standard. I'd say all of those films would qualify in 'normal' life but here on the forum the bar for underrated or hidden is significantly higher. EDIT - Oh and Mud is a good choice :up: |
