What under rated movies have you seen that you thought weren't bad at all.......

[mrmpa]

for me it was Passengers with Anne Hathaway, Patrick Wilson, Andre Brougher and Diane Wiest. I saw it last night. My better half and I couldn't find anything on TV, we found this On Demand as a free movie.

It was suspenseful and I didn't have it figured it out until the last 3 minutes. I was also awed by the performance of Clea Duvall.

On imdb.com, it was written that the studio did little to help this film, because they wanted to pursue Anne Hathaway's performance in Rachel Getting Married as a potential Oscar winning role.

1. the astronaut's wife.

terrible reviews, but i thought it was truly taut thriller that kept you going the whole movie.
johnny depp and charlize theron.

maybe i liked it because it was filmed here in chi, and it was fun to pick out the parts where they tried to make it look like nyc. but i really loved it.

2. Several come to mind...

Tombstone is right at the top...

I enjoyed God's of Egypt and Jupiter Assending...I'm sure there are more

17. I like Mila Kunis. Under rated actress with lots of charisma.

20. This

Mila Kunis is my guilty pleasure. She just lights up the screen. I think all of her movies have been better than they were given credit for.

Fortunately, Mrs. Genxlib agrees.

We enjoyed Friends with Benefits and Bad Moms

3. Killing Season

with Robert De Niro and John Travolta. I like just about everything with Robert De Niro. I thought it was good. I didn't even realize it was Travolta when I first started watching it. I still can't figure out the bad reviews.

4. I was very amused by bill Murray and geena Davis in Quick Change. nt

5. my wife and I are probably in the handful of folks that love Joe vs the Volcano

a bit silly at the end, but really romantic!

[tblue37]

8. I liked that movie, too. nt

[KT2000]

12. loved that movie

you and your wife are not alone!

[Basic LA]

19. The best opening segment

It really showed the dread of going to work every morning like I'd never seen before. And that's just the title sequence.

22. "I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?". And - brain cloud (my wife and I quote that

movie often!).

6. My faves are, for some reason, on the violent side, but that's NOT why I love them!! -

(I have no logical explanation for that, really...)

But anyway, "Trance" - James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson, dir. Danny Boyle. I don't even understand what the hell was going on, really!! But loved it nevertheless -

"Goon" - really foul, nasty and - a word I had never used till I watched it - "profane"! Hockey player whose job is to beat the crap out of the opposition...Seann William Scott, Jay Baruchel, Kim Coates, Liev Schreiber - numerous perfect comedy moments - lots of blood, lots of heart! - not for the squeamish!

"Rocknrolla" - oh no, more nastiness. A young Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Mark Strong...Toby Kebbell playing a junkie, and he is...heaven. RnR has been compared to "Snatch" and...the other movie "Snatch" was compared to (lock/stock/3 smoking barrels I think).

"True Romance" - loved. Exuberant. Bloody. Hilarious. Nasty.

"The Assasination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford" - well, it ain't THAT violent, comparatively speaking! - But it's perfection, every kind of way, soundtrack (Nick Cave) and cinematography (Rogers Deakins) included!

7. I love "Ishtar." "Knight and Day" was good, too. nt

9. The Air I Breathe.

Four stories are linked by a Chinese proverb and overlapping characters. A usually unadventurous man (Forest Whitaker) loses big on a horse race and robs a bank to pay off a gangster (Andy Garcia). The gangster's nephew goes on the town with a hit man (Brendan Fraser) who can see into the future. The hit man falls for a pop star (Sarah Michelle Gellar) whose contract is owned by the gangster. The pop star has a rare blood type sought by a doctor (Kevin Bacon) trying to save the love of his life

10. I watch a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000

During the Mike/Sci-fi years, they showed, "Jack Frost," or, "Morozko," in the original Russian. I've heard tell that it's like some of our yearly holiday specials - a beloved tradition showed each year. I like folk tales of other countries and ordered the unriffed DVD. I think it's pretty enjoyable, and they really put a lot of effort in costumes, special effects, and story-telling into it.

11. I really liked

The Postman and WaterWorld. They were both panned.

[tblue37]

24. I liked "Waterworkd," too.

[denbot]

13. Waterworld.

[House of Roberts]

14. Dennis Hopper is a hoot in Waterworld.

15. Big Trouble

It's based on a novel by Dave Barry. You might not have heard of it, but its original release date was 9/14/01. And we all know what happened that week. Well watch it and see for yourself:

16. Dark Star

made with a budget of $60,000 and featuring a song about my sometimes adopted home town of Benson, AZ.

The dark comedy plot is hysterical.

18. I really like the Resident Evil films. I think it's a great series.

Each film has good pacing and action. Mila Jovovich does a good job.

21. Spielberg's 1941

Not very funny but some amazing set pieces.
