Movies You Feel Should've Been Critically Acclaimed But Didnt Get Credit It Deserved? - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 08-06-2009, 05:22 PM

Ok so we talked about the critically acclaimed flicks that didnt deserve it, so on the flipside, what movies actually deserve acclaim but was either overlooked or wasn't talked about enough or wasn't award worthy?? Off top a couple I would say are:

A Bronx Tale
The Negotiator
John Q
Lucky Number Slevin
Blood Diamond

Got Em!!

Auto focus, The Ice harvest, a simple plan and The lookout come to mind.

Well.... it's easy to go back and look at the classic films, or "Cult Classics" that were unknown, but became huge hits...... so to go with something newer, I'd say "Let the Right one In" I really enjoyed it, but heard nothing about it prior to the Blu-ray release.

I think calling a moderator a beast is a bannable offense.. Got em indeed! Watch out

I'd say:

Rambo (2008)
Sunshine
Event Horizon
Falling Down (Michael Douglas could use "Got em" in the sequel

Watch out! )
