1. I've always thought 'Coherence' is very good and perhaps under-rated :

2. ...'Sunshine' is an alltime favorite and just brilliant in every way IMHO. One of the best sci-fi film made in my view but hardly anyone knows about it. Danny Boyle directs, actors include Chris Evans and Rose Byrne and Cillian Murphy.

3. 'Breathe In' with Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce ivd always thought was a touching and well acted low budget movie, recommended:

4. 'Some Velvet Morning ' is unusual character-piece and entire movie takes place in one house, and .....yeah just watch it. The ending is great . Alice Eve is terrific and gorgeous at the same time.

5. Final one is 'Another Earth '. The talented Brit Marling takes central character in this unusual movie which is part sci-fi and part love/relationships etc and 'life choices have consequences '
Ending scene is v brief, slightly shocking, terrific.

One more for y'all.

6. 'The Road' .....a post-apocalypse (never stated WHAT causes the apocalypse...) movie that is v well acted, it is almost unceasingly bleak, but very well done and good soundtrack. Filmed in the Mount St Helen's area with plenty of real-life post volcanic eruption grey-everything scenes.
Viggo Mortensen is very good and Charlize Theron makes a brief appearance early on.
As Real As It Gets post-apocalypse life of a man and his son....
 
predestination

Funny, I watched both Another Earth and Coherence around the same time together years back. Along with Upstream Color

The Tall Man (2012) - mistakenly marketed as a horror movie, it's actually a well acted mystery movie that asks the audience an interesting question at the end.

1000021810.jpg

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) - woke hipsters getting carved up with a chainsaw for 90 minutes. What more could you ask for?

1000021811.jpg

Margin Call (2011) great cast. Everyone knocks it out of the park. A much more serious approach than The Big Short.

1000021812.jpg

Just Before Dawn (1981). Beautifully shot backwoods horror movie with some gruesome kills and a great twist ending.

1000021813.jpg

The Founder (2016). Michael Keaton is great. This is a really offbeat biopic about a guy who just refused to accept defeat.
 
# 1. American Me
It is far superior to that trash buffoonery of Blood In, Blood Out that everyone loves so much for some reason I still cant understand!
you can like both
American me is undoubtably the better film and the sound track is iconic as with papa Eddie's narration

but bound by honor is still a cultural landmark

for me underratted is
hard boiled
best hk buddy cop crime violent movie ever

187
it's a vibe the filmography and soundtrack

charisma
a weird acid trip dream like trip through the forest
with cults and shit

jumanji
maybe to us not underratted but my son and his friends had no idea there was a non-Rock version and they loved it.

Donnie Brascoe
just as good as the other major mob flicks but gets overlooked

love and monsters
fun movie that came out in 2020 so it got lost in the straight to streaming shuffle during the height of covid. A young man sets out to find the girl he loves after they were separated during an apocalyptic uprising of mutant bugs that has caused the last people remaining to go into hiding. He meets some interesting people along the journey while fighting off some impressive looking mutant creatures.
