    Underrated movies

    So, I just watched Mystery Men for the first time in 10 years, and I thought it was fucking hilarious. Things I pick up on now that I didn't when I was a kid in 1999.

    I like when Invisible boy finally went invisible and the first things you hear are "WOW" and "You may want to use two hands to cover that up"

    and when the asian girls got their clothes shrunk and furious says "I can feel my pants shrinking too!"


    Any underrated movies you want to honor?

    A couple movies that were concidered bombs that are actually very good and very well received by critics are Dark City and Kingpin.

    Kingpin was fucking amazing. I love that movie.


    Also, everyone seemed to hate it, but I absolutely love Cable Guy (Jim Carrey, not that fgt larry guy)

    Oldboy is a lot of things, but underrated it is not.

    To stay on topic, The Bow (활) is far too often overlooked not just in the grand scheme of things, but even within Kim Ki-duk's own filmography.

    Underrated in the way of probably 90% of the people outside of Asia has never heard of it.

    If you like Old Boy check out a much more underrated flick by the same dude called Thirst.

    I dunno if Ip Man or Ong Bak are underrated, but they are definitely good movies.

    Gonna throw out Real Men, it's like a white version of Black Dynamite.

    I personally always liked the super mario brothers movie. Everyone else apparently hates it.

    i wouldnt flip the channels through this.

    this movie is deep and speaks to your soul with its amazing plot and well written script. but seriously, i liked it. even if it had the shitty disney voice actors

    Oh man, I remember this movie. I fucking loved it as a kid, I wonder if I still feel the same. I still remember the part where he sees a random duck in a Chinese restaurant window and goes nuts.
