Just to clarify, this category is open to your own interpretation. It can be a film that did poorly at the box office, didn't receive the amount of critical / public acclaim it may have deserved, or one that everyone hated but you! Even ones that were overshadowed by other releases.

I shall nominate:

Greenberg - Far from a typical Ben Still vehicle, this was a return to form for Noah Baumbach and had an outstanding performance from Greta Gerwig. Deserved more attention than it got.

The Brothers Bloom, a flawed but rich film that deserved more than a token, year late IFI release.

This might be an unpopular nomination but I'm going with Skyline. It's not exactly a good film but was seriously not worthy of the malignant reviews it got.

American: The Bill Hicks Story - deserved a much wider distribution than it got.
