[Immortal_Technique]

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.

Existenz also did The Matrix before The Matrix!

[Viking11]

I was making a funny

I missed the humor, hard to tell online. Good one!

[bigmc]

in Bruges with Coli Farrell is superb

amazing script and acting

[wes]

OK,anyone who posted blockbuster/legendary hit movies in this thread go hold your heads underwater for 10 minutes.


We`ll wait for you guys.

[Mr. Magoo]

Mel Brooks movie "High Anxiety"

[True]

Dog pound
Kidulthood
Adulthood


Watch them, they are awesome! Real life shit.

[orion]

The Road with Vigo Mortison, a grown up take on the Apocalypse. it's a real downer, no heroics, just suffering when the food and electricty are gone.
The Pulse and Silent Hill were very well done and had great visuals.
Another lesser known horror was Let the Right One In. The foreign version.  Best vampire movie I thought.
Manhunter by Michael Mann.
Best movie for WTF factor is Lost Highway. Watch it buzzed.

[bradistani]

Punch-Drunk Love - adam Sandlers best performance ever

[orangeman]

Dark Blue was an excellent movie but wow you can tell the Training Day guy made the movie, so similar.

[bradistani]

The 9th Company.

Russian war movie about a group of Soviet conscripts in the Afghan War.

good shout

[orion]

Reminds me of the other mainstream movie Brown Bunny, where the actress Chloe Sevigny (American Psycho, Kids) actually sucked off the main actor, tried to pass it off as art

http://xhamster.com/movies/8264/chloe_sevigny_brown_bunny_blowjob.html

I just watched that, I never heard of this movie.  I couldn't beleive that a mainstream actress would do hardcore.  I heard she hasn't had a big role since.  GB can be very educational.

[Megalodon]

Dogville. It's a movie, with different camera angles, but the set is like a play. The story line will get you though. Very well done.

[funk51]

Very good list.....Rumblefish was awesome!!

he just wanted to put fish back in the river.

[BIG AL MCKECHNIE]

Frequency is a great movie.

Don't look now has the scariest most disturbing ending.....especially if you are afraid of dwarfes
