Most underrated films of the past few years

[ohsocrazy]

i think Swordfish was the most underrated. i dont kno why i liked it so much. the action was sweet, travolta rocked, halle berry...well..you kno the story, and the ending was awesome.

also Rules of Attracion. it was a love hate..but for most i think it was a hate. but it was wicked!


cant forget about Equilibrium!!!

[Brock-Landers]

i think Auto Fucos and The Rules of Attraction are underrated

[SubMethod]

The Pledge(9/10)

This was one of the ten best films of 2001 easily. Jack Nicholson turned in a superb performance. Sean Penn proved that he knows how to use a camera and tell a story effectively. One of the best of the 2000's.

[The 8 Ball]

Battle Royale - Give this thing North American distubution!!!!

Happy Times

Personally, I liked the first 30-40 minutes of the movie, but I just felt like the ending cheated me a little...I would have appreciated more clues (there were all of the one or two small clues before the ending)...it just didn't "blow" me away like it should've.

Also, the middle was a bit dull imo, and the Halle Berry scene was stupid. Like, I obviously :rolleyes: don't mind her stripping, but like, seriously, her topless scene just comes out of nowhere, and has no relation to the plot. He just comes up to her in a random scene, five seconds, she just shows her breasts, and end of scene. Like, they could have at least fit it into the movie a little more!...

My cousin loved it to begin with (and still loves it) while my friend loved it but after watching it a second time, he too didn't think much of it.

I'm not saying my opinion speaks for everyone of course, but just that for me, it just didn't work. 5/10 and on a good day, maybe 6.

Oh, and I agree with Rules of attraction being underrated. (8/10)

I'm going with his say. I liked HANNIBAL quite alot. Dark and involving, better than RED DRAGON.

My First Mister. Very good flick hardly anyone saw.
Pumpkin. My friends and I found it hilarious. We loved it.
Blow. Depp was great as was the supporting cast.
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Hands-down the best special effects I have ever seen. Spectacular film.
Planet of the Apes. So sure me, I liked this summer action flick....and yes, I also dig the original.
Willard. Glover was great and it was just a fun, quirky flick. So far my fav. or 2003.

Sleek Productions...I know you obviously dig Bamboozled, but what type of flick is it? Straight Comedy? Biting Satire? All-Around Enjoyable Movie? It doesn't matter to me what type of flick it is as I'm renting it this Friday (along with Crumb and Do the Right Thing).
