Underrated films that people seem to think are a rubbish but really are not

    Has this been done yet?

    Anyway, my vote goes to Airheads (1994).

    People went mad about Wayne's World back then, watch it now - bloody hell, best of luck getting to the end. The sequel is dire stuff too.

    Airheads, while it's similar (and tbf arguably a copy of Waynes World) early-mid '90s nonsense, it has something about it. It features, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Brendan Fraser, Cosmo Kramer, Fat Tony/that bloke from Criminal Minds/Chuck McGill...and MORE! (well maybe one or two more).

    The Lone Rangers live on.

    The Counselor - 2013

    Great cast (Bardem, Fassbender, Cruz, Diaz, Pitt, Catface from Game of Thrones)

    Stylish and sexy, some great dialogue (script by Cormac McCarthy) and a great morality play. Diaz is great as an absolute uber cnut.

    Extended cut version is even better.

    I really like The Island of Dr Moreau but I can fully understand why someone would think that it's terrible.

    Great call, I watched this on a flight once and thought it was amazing and a devastating ending, couldn't get it out of my head. Read the reviews and it was panned. Still think of the closing scenes from time to time.

    Juno.

    I think it got too hyped at the time and people turned against it. Plus a wise-cracking teen is off-putting to many. But Ellen Page was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for it and I completely understand why. She’s finds the vulnerable note that prevents Juno from being totally obnoxious.

    I Mona have to watch that one one of these days. It's availabel on pay per in Amazon Prime. Don't know if it's the extended version though.

    Taffin. It has everything - car chases, explosions, a future James Bond, Frank Kelly, Dermot Morgan, Jonathan from Bosco, George from Glenroe, Bela from Fair City.

    If you think it's rubbish, then maybe you shouldn't be living here.

    I liked Jane got a gun. Looked up the reviews on rotten tomatoes and they were bad but I went to see it anyway and enjoyed it, couldnt understand why it got bad reviews.

    Budget $25 million[2]
    Box office $3.8 million[3]


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,113 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    The Butterfly Effect (director's cut) the ending in this version is essential to the whole story, I'd probably have a different opinion on the film if I'd seen a different version

    The Hole, Kiera Knightly film. Good story, well told

    The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon.

    What happens a paedophile when he has served his sentence.

    EDIT: I've no sympathy for such people.

    Point of film is, if one thinks about it is what does society do with such people, later on?

    So dark. Brilliant flick.

    Two that I keep coming back to are Rock Star & Rock of ages. Neither should be regarded as high quality, but I love them.
