drahkon Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Hi, we are so incredibly lost. Recently I've seen the movie Revolver again and a thought crossed my mind: "Why on earth is this rated as one of the worst movies of all time? I fucking love it." It didn't even make it into Germany's cinemas. Another movie which I think is overlooked is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I laughed so hard when Harry shot the guy I had to pause the film. Actually, I had to pause the film a lot. Do you know/like any movies that are underappreciated? Tell me, now.
Happenstance Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is very possibly my favourite movie, tis just awesome.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Do you know/like any movies that are underappreciated? Tell me, now. ... Nah, never mind.
MadDog Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Spiderman 3. Most people think that's crap, right?
heroicjanitor Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I thought Blades of Glory was way better than the reviews I saw said it was.
Daft Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Blades of Glory is amazing. My second favourite comedy after Zoolander. Which is amazing. There are so many. Here is one. Solaris (2002)
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 "When Saturday Comes" is by far the greatest film Hahahaha. Yaaaay. I quite like that film. Spiderman 3. Most people think that's crap, right? I like you, but I hate that film. The jazz club scene is the worst thing I've ever seen. (kinda) It's pretty bad, man. Most under-appreciated film is Sunshine. Oh god, I love it. and I bawl like a baby at both.
Paj! Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Aren't MOST films underappreciated? It's more like there's a minority that are appreciated/overappreciated. Also depends on your definition of underappreciated. I guess I'll throw in But that's more like...more people should watch it. Everyone I know who's seen it was astounded/loved it, of course.
Hamishmash Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Hahahaha. Yaaaay. I quite like that film. I like you, but I hate that film. The jazz club scene is the worst thing I've ever seen. (kinda) It's pretty bad, man. Oh it is amazing. Peter Parker's whole lame-emo "thinks he's 10 times cooler than he is" segment is one of the highlights of Sam Raimi's career. Just bliss. SPEED FUCKING RACER!! This is GENUINELY my favourite movie of all time. It is... MADE for me. It's basically F-Zero - THE MOVIE. It's so nuts and so beautiful. It's got a really important message and the plot, though not child-friendly is very solid. It's basically pop art. I think so anyway. Also Return to Oz is amazing and much better than the musical one everyone loves. And another vote for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
chairdriver Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Adaptation is genuinely amazing. Probably one of my favourite films. Meryl Streep -- Yes. Nicolas Cage -- you're actually good in this movie. Charlie Kauffman is probably my fave film-y person, since all 3 of the ones of his I've seen [John Malk, Adaptation, Synedoche] are all absolutely superb. Love 2002 Solaris too. Loved Orlando, and The Bitter Tears Of Petra Von Kant. The former seems to be well loved by those who are great, but no one seems to have enjoyed the latter, which I thought was fantastic.
Iun Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 ... Nah, never mind. Attaboy! Spiderman 3. Most people think that's crap, right? It was the only one of the three that I actually liked! The other two were just...underpants pie.
Beast Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 The best film I've ever seen. You beat me to it! DOA: Dead or Alive is literally one of the best gaming adaptations ever! It's just so much fun!
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 The best film I've ever seen. ... I need to see this. No, seriously, I need to see this.
Beast Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 ... I need to see this. No, seriously, I need to see this. You mean you haven't seen this?! You are so missing out! Make it your next movie! haha.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 You mean you haven't seen this?! You are so missing out! Make it your next movie! haha. I was only vaguely aware a DOA movie had been made.
Tellyn Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Galaxy Quest is fantastic, but most people haven't heard of it.
gaggle64 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Galaxy Quest is fantastic, but most people haven't heard of it. Fantastic movie, a classic in my eyes. Iron Giant. A wonderful, wonderfully animated piece of Americana that should be discussed in hushed tones alongside the best of Disney and Ghibli but, inexplicably, isn't. Things To Come, one of my favourite old-timey movies. Written by HG Wells and based loosely on his novel The Shape Of Things To Come. It's a curious, messy film that skitters from subject to subject but is packed with beautiful moments before ending with the whole scientific struggle in a glorious microcosm. Condorman - an unrecognised camp children's action-comedy classic, starring Michael Crawford (he of Some Mothers Do Have 'Em) as a comic book artist who takes on his signature creation. Oliver Reed plays the villain for no reason. It's cheesy awesomeness from top to bottom. Just look at it's car chase scene for fuck's sake. Don't worry about the German dub, you can probably fill in most of the blanks.
Hamishmash Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Galaxy Quest is fantastic, but most people haven't heard of it. I still think it's the best Star Trek movie. And the cast is wonderful.
Cube Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Unbreakable <3 I loved this film. Probably Shyamalan's best work.
Beast Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Sex Drive <3 You mean people either didn't appeciate it or overlooked this?! I loved this movie! How did people not like it?
ReZourceman Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I loved this film. Probably Shyamalan's best work. One of my favourite films of all time. You mean people either didn't appeciate it or overlooked this?! I loved this movie! How did people not like it? Both really. I think its underrated. Its just amazing...like....I think I called it "This generations Road Trip" which is pretty fair.
