Movies That Are Underrated.....

I had the inclination to look up The Adventures of Baron Munchausen to see what it was nominated for and if it actually won any Oscars. It didn't, but won three Baftas. The thing that really annoys me is that in both the Oscars and Baftas the score didn't get a nomination – I think it's a masterpiece, and probably Michael Kamen's best work.

Genre films, particularly those in the horror genre tend to get the shaft critically. Movies like The Long Hair of Death that should be considered great classics but are largely forgotten or ignored.

I think Fright Night Part II is massively underrated. I actually like it more than the first one, which is grounds for a fatwah in some circles apparently.

for me, most underrated movie i've ever seen is hereafter by eastwood. I'd seen it, but jsut recently saw the ratings and were shocked. Serious WTF, some critics said the movie had no heart. no exxag, deserves double the ratings. There are so many great and powerful scenes in that movie where any one of them are just fortunate contain just one of.

Rope. Definitely my favourite Hitchcock movie. It's basically Birdman for grandparents.

HULK.

Ang Lee did this one right.

Well, my favorite movie is The Good, the Bad, the Weird, which doesn't get much praise. There are some big fans, such as myself, but we're a minority.

I wouldn't say so. I'm pretty sure it's rated quite highly.

Unleashed is very underrated. Honestly one of Jet Li's best films if you ask me. The raw , intense, action is in a class of its own.
I also loved Wheels on Meals, a criminally underrated classic Kung Fu film.
