Best Underrated Movies - Page 4

Re-Cycle

Made a thread about this movie which I don't think anyone checked it out, but its from the Pang Brothers who are famous in Hong Kong for their horror movies. Its basically feels like a rated R combination of Mirrormask and Pan's. It's in Cantonese/Mandarin so you'll have to deal with subs, but its definitely worth checking out if you like either of those two movies.

Going to add "The Big Blue" to the list. Not sure if it's underrated here, but haven't seen much of a mention to it. Strange film, inwhich i can watch numerous times and not get bored.

Also "Nikita" (I'm a Luc Besson fan).

And lastly "Rivières pourpres, Les" - Or "The Crimson Rivers" if only for that fight scene choreographed with some type of "Street Fighter" overlay.

Another movie that was never popular and was great the first time watching was The Game with Douglas

Vidoq and Brotherhood of the wolf were fantastic. Blueberri was good also.

Failan is the saddest movie I've ever seen.

If you ever want to get a girl hopelessly depressed and coax your way into her nether-regions, this is the movie for you.

If you can get her to stop crying. And wanting to slash her wrists.

The Fifth Element is probably my favorite Sci-Fi of all time. I don't think it was too underrated though. Willow is dece.

Ong-bak (2003) - Best Martial Arts movie I've seen this decade

Rounders (1998)

My recommendation is Carlito's Way - really good movie that didn't get the credit it deserved, in my opinion. Pacino is great.
