And this movie is NOT underrated. People know about this movie

Underrated ≠ Unknown

The Wire was always a well known television series while at the same time severely underrated.

Some more...

I Love You To Do

An underappreciated 80s movie with a great cast. Great performances from River Phoenix, John Hurt & Keanu Reeves.






Big Trouble In Little China

Another 80s movies. Do people know about this movie?





Devil In A Blue Dress

Put Don Cheadle on the map...






The Limey

A gem from Steven Soderbergh with Terence Stamp & Luis Guzman. How could you go wrong with those 2 in the movie plus Stamp has a thick cockney accent. Great soundtrack too.






Searching for Bobby Fischer

Did someone post this?






Quiz Show

Great cast with a lot of great performances from several actors. Directed by Robert Redford. I really believed Paul Scofield was Mark Van Doren. At the end of the scene below is gut wrenching in such a subtle way given the context of the story.







Gone Baby Gone

I think this is Ben Affleck's directorial debut. Based on the novel of the same name written by Dennis Lehane who also wrote Mystic River & Shutter Island. Casey Affleck putting in work. Why is Ed Harris good in every movie he does?






Seven Psychopaths & In Bruges

Seven Psychopaths came out last year. I loved it. Directed by Martin McDonagh who also did In Bruges which has one of the most priceless scenes with Brendan Gleeson & Ralph Fiennes.








Layer Cake

Was this posted before? Do people know about this movie? Put Daniel Craig on the map... Craig played a straight up G in the movie. A thinking man's G if you will. Also has Tom Hardy...

You clarified the word. But, I would categorize Fresh as one of those movies that's known, but is often forgotten about.

Beautiful film.

^ Laurence Fishburne is a great great actor. I've also enjoyed him in all of his lessor roles also like in Bobby Fisher, Predators, Higher Learning (starting eating Altoids because of him lol), etc...

Bobby Fisher is a difficult film to find for rental.

Another film...............UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS with scott bakula. Its hilarious.

Ed Harriss is a great actor. Every time. First film i remember him being in is The Abyss.

The Abyss was a great movie. I was :x when he was trying to resuscitate his wife...

I first saw Harris in The Right Stuff about the US space program when it first started (based on Tom Wolfe's book). I was a little younger when it came out but I thought he was John Glen. Great actor even in bad or lesser movies.

Semantics man

Fresh is underrated because it got lost in the muck, it came out in a great year for films (1994). It's a pretty timeless film, and if the category had 10 nominees like it does now- lt would have been nominated for best picture.
