A Prophet was great.

Kitano's Outrage was also very good, his American film Brother is a strong B grade gangster film.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle.

Robert Duvall's The Outfit.

Peckinpah's Ride The High Country and Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia and Cross of Iron.

Mona Lisa, a Bob Hoskins's film.

Prime Cut with Lee Marvin.

Harper and The Drowning Pool with Paul Newman.

Two semi forgotten Steve McQueen films The Sand Pebbles and Soldier in The Rain with Jackie Gleason.

Over The Edge with Matt Dillon.

Sharky's Machine.

An English gangster film called The Hit.

I thought Killshot with Mickey Rouke was decent.

Get The Gringo.

The director's cut of Payback, called Payback, Straight Up. Much darker 70's style film.

Two exploitation flicks, Vice Squad and Fight For Your Life.

P.S. Chuck Norris's Invasion USA > Red Dawn.

Donnie Brasco was great and the book was even better.  I read it first before I saw the movie.

almost watched this the other day on netflix, but i heard their version is censored, WTF!!!

if it's anything like the werner herzog bad lieutenant, i'll love it... that movie was SO GOOD.

as for the topic at hand:

cypher - weird, lowish budget sci-fi movie with one of my least favorite actresses (lucy liu) -- can't deny it was surprisingly good... (on netflix)

nobody knows - not necessarily underrated, but lesser known movie about japanese orphans.  one of the few "true story" movies i actually like. (on netflix)

last life in the universe and bright future - i group these together because i saw them around the same time, and both star asano tadanaobu... the former is definitely one of my favorite movies, and both received only modest acclaim.

alien girl - maybe i was just taken in by the culture / scenery of this russian mob flick, but even so i have no idea how this movie got such terrible reviews... it has like 9% on rottentomatoes, and i thought it was awesome. (on netflix)

the devil's double - not so much underrated as a whole, but dominic cooper's acting was AMAZING.  in a just world, he would have won best actor twice over. (on netflix)

natural born killers - how this isn't considered a classic is beyond me. (on netflix)

infernal affairs - not underrated, but i dunno too many people who have seen this.  maybe it's cause i saw it before 'the departed', but i thought it was the better movie.

shutter island - i thought this movie was really, really good and something very different from scorcese. dunno why it had such a lukewarm reception. (on netflix)

a scanner darkly - if you can get over (or even enjoy) the rotoscoping, this movie, like every other movie adapted from a philip k. dick story, is great.

eXistenZ - yet another movie that did inception better than inception, and earlier as well...

sleeping beauty (2011) - i would probably watch anything with emily browning, but this one took me by surprsie.  i can understand the bad reviews, but i think most will at least find it novel.  (on netflix)

the claim - i thought i would hate this movie.

restraint - entertaining. teresa palmer gets naked, and the result is   (on netflix)

solitary man - one of michael douglas' lesser known movies.  probably his best in years.

jarhead - better than a million other moralizing war movies. (on netflix)

and probably loads more.

Oldboy

A brilliantly directed South Korean movie with some hard-hitting plot twists.
