Haven't thought about The Signal in a long time. They did a solid job with next to no budget and prosumer equipment if I recall correctly.

Win/win with Paul Giamatti, I know it has a great RT score but never hear the film get any love
In terms of rotten tomatoes score, we're the millers

Yeah, Win WIn was pretty good. One of the more meaningful roles Burt Young has had over the last decade, and the kid did a good job too.

I feel like Rambo (IV) is the second best of the franchise after First Blood. Arguably the best.

It's definitely not better than First Blood, but it's certainly a good movie. I prefer Rambo 2, but Rambo 4 captures the essence of the character and the tone of the first film better. Sly really invested in the character again that time around.

He was ok, but I suspect they wanted a pretty face for the role. Another underrated Bronson flick is Hard Times -1975.
The dude was in good shape for a man his age.

He was in great shape and his boxing was on point in Hard Times as well. You could tell he wasn't some Hollywood guy who didn't know anything about fighting. Bronson stayed in great shape until he was legitimately "old" old.

Where's the fire, homey?

[Alphaboy]

City of God is pretty underrated imo

One of my favorite movies but isn't it rated pretty high by the general public?

 

[Alphaboy]

Fortress.

I saw it as a kid though and it was exciting, not sure if it's actually any good from an adult's perspective.

One of my favorite movies but isn't it rated pretty high by the general public?

Yeah. Definitely underseen as opposed to underrated. Pretty sure it was one of the more highly lauded films of that year.

Larry fish is always good money imo

 

[Sir Galahad]

People rarely talk about these good movies.

 

[Madmick]

Significantly underrated by the people and critics alike.

 

[Madmick]

Both of these are masterpieces. The first is one of my favorite films of all time. It has to be one of the most underappreciated strokes of genius ever put to film.

This one isn't really underrated because everyone who sees it loves it (7.9 on IMDb), but it didn't get the admiration it deserved. It was almost entirely ignored during the awards season, and few people have ever even heard about it. Frankly, I enjoyed it more than Pan's Labyrinth or The English Patient, and if you watch it, you'll understand why I mention those films. It's shares the spirit of my favorite Tim Burton film, but I won't mention which that is.

Somewhat genderized mirrors of each other by Neil Labute, I promise that you will NEVER forget either if you watch them:

This one got more visibility than most I'll list, but it only grossed $21m domestically, and few appreciated how deep it was. Simply a crime that it didn't get a Best Picture nomination when War Horse and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close did. Christians, in particular, slept on it. I don't think they realize it is one of the most quintessentially Christian films ever made-- but hey, maybe that's why it didn't get nominations:

Yet another that is north of 7.0 on IMDb, but the Bronte sisters have been done to death on film, and this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. Mia Wasikowska is fire. Directed by Cary Fukunaga who three years later directed 8/10 of what is perhaps the finest season of television ever made in True Detective season 1. If you've never understood why girls are so crazy for the literature of the late 19th century's Victorian era...watch this, then watch Pride and Prejudice from 2005 with Keira Knightley based on the Austen novel. The stories are eternal. Those crooked-toothed bitches could write:

A coming-of-age tour de force for young men:

The movie that put Amy Adams on the map. One of the greatest acting performances ever given:

I'll probably come back with more, later. I best magazine in American film criticism is Film Comment, hands down. Their end-of-the-year Critic's Poll stands head and shoulders above shit like RottenTomatoes or Metacritic, and they don't look anything alike. Most of their movies aren't the type to be festooned during awards season, either. This is a magazine ran by people who know how to curate their reviewers, not just the films they feature for articles. It's humbling to look back and see how their lists have stood up from the late 90's and early 2000's. It's resisting the hyper-lliberal SJW agenda better than most stewards of high art, too. This is art:

[I Am Legion]

Not that it’s underrated terribly, But Black Hawk Down is the best combat movie of all time imo. Saving Private Ryan is right there, but BHD was brutal in its real ness. And it only got a 76% on RT, while a bland movie like a black Panther sits at 97%.

 

[Madmick]

Oh yeah, my favorite Spike Lee film-- only a 6.5 on IMDb, and the critics didn't quite know what to make of it when it was released, either:
