Haha, I've only seen the first 3, had no idea there was more.

The first 3 were the best but Stalked by My Doctor: A Sleepwalker’s Nightmare was too wild.

I really need to watch this. It looked neat. Then my mother told me that I needed to watch it and described it to me. That made my father crack up laughing. (Special needs + professional wrestling = sleepwalk, apparently)

It's overrated. They try and tug your heart strings with the friendship between the scoundrel and the kid with down syndrome, but the actor with down syndrome is terrible. And the ending is ridiculous.

Synecdoche, NY

It's a completely insane movie, but it's so good. It sadly got zero attention when it came out but you'll never see another movie like it.

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.

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

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

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

The Founder (2016). Michael Keaton is great. This is a really offbeat biopic about a guy who just refused to accept defeat.

As a slasher, that Netflix TCM movie was brutal and certainly watchable. TCM was never meant to be a slasher though and it doesn’t really feel like it belongs in that universe, so I understand the shitty reviews.

 

[Kingz]

Great “bad day” movie. Probably the most underrated of Oliver Stone’s catalog. Atleast from his peak years. I’m sure he’s released some stuff the last 15-20 years that people know even less than U-Turn but this is a forgotten one from the 90’s.

Thought provoking film from Paul Schrader who wrote Taxi Driver. Great performance by Richard Pryor

Totally underrated Steve Martin film. Charles Grodin is hilarious in it too. Seems nobody has seen it

One of my favorite Coen bros movie. It was part of that 7 year stretch between O Brother and No Country where they released 3 of their most unheralded films(Intolerable Cruelty and Ladykillers) but this one is great. It feels like one of their late 80’s early 90’s films. Ed Crane is one of their most identifiable characters. Especially for introverts.

Just probably the best setting for a horror movie. Old state mental asylums were pretty spectacular
And there is some genuinely creepy moments in this film.

Also not just an all time underrated film but Spike Lee’s most underrated film. I think it’s his best

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I dont know if I can come up with five, but these two are criminally under-rated:

 

[Bob Gray]

Oh, yeah, I remembered one:

Bascially the whole movie never breaks from the idea that you're watching a reality show on television, and the point of the show is people are chosen at random and have to kill each other.

The premise and presentation might not be as novel as it once was, but it was done really well and truly feels like a weird reality show. Plus, the girl from the well in Silence of the Lambs is the main character. Thats kinda cool.

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

Just 5 films off the top of my head.

Swingers
House of the Devil
Very Bad Things
The Rocketeer
Run Ronnie Run

 

[Streeter]

92 Gladiator ia very underrated. Sharing a totle with the epic 00 movie does it no favorable it gets forgotten

 

[Thai Domi]

One False Move
Southern Comfort
Bad Boys (1983)
The Pit and the Pendulum (1991)
Cape Fear (1991)

Not necessarily top 5, these are just off the top of my head

Top of the head....hardest part of the body.

I second Margin Call it’s a masterpiece.

My two picks are
The Ninth Gate @Peteyandjia
Syriana
