Most Underrated Film Of The Decade. - Blu-ray Forum

MAPdead · 09-08-2009, 03:30 AM

So this decade is coming to an end and I was wondering what everyone thought was the most underrated film of the decade? I know everyone has one choice of a film that you thought was great but didn't get the credit it deserved.

"Even if that guy was charming and funny, I still wouldn't like him."

Mr. Brooks is Awesome. I hope your talking about that so called comedian Daphne guy or something.

Dane cook is overrated. I liked what happened to him in that movie. Its his best part.

Diesel · 09-08-2009, 03:41 AM

Equilibrium.

Fantastic movie, the majority of people have probably never even heard of it.

Edit:

What's your choice MAPdead?

Batman1980 · 09-08-2009, 03:41 AM

Watchmen is my choice since it pretty much flopped in the box office and despite insane disc sales is still widely unknown.

It's a quote from the movie. I love that it's said to Dane Cook.

I wish they were able to make it a trilogy like they planned.

MAPdead · 09-08-2009, 03:47 AM

Mr. Brooks is still one movie I haven't gotten around to seeing.

It has a great sense of humor, brilliant acting from Costner and Hurt, the story is fantastic, and Dane Cook gets made fun of. Oh and Danielle Panabaker.

chemokidd · 09-08-2009, 03:54 AM

I agree Mr. Brooks was such an amazing movie

it was perfect IMO
if you havent seen it you should see it when you get the time!

I agree with you. Costner worked his magic on this.

Blue-water · 09-08-2009, 04:23 AM

So far these movies come to mind...

Equilibrium
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Lars and the Real Girl
The Lookout
Let The Right One In
The Mist
The Orphanage
V for Vendetta
Sunshine
Snow Angels
Once
In Bruges

there's more i think.

I didn't know about a Trilogy. All I knew that it was an independent movie with Costner involved.

After I found out and re-watched it I appreciated it much more. It makes more since as the first in a planned trilogy.

broganreynik · 09-08-2009, 03:40 PM

Narc
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Mr. Brooks definitely
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
The Visitor
Resurrecting the Champ
The Nines
Knowing
Solaris (haven't seen the original though)
Gangs of New York
V For Vendetta
Catch Me If You Can
In Bruges
Charlie Wilson's War
The Weather Man
Hart's War
The King of California
Saints and Soldiers
Adaptation
Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
Appaloosa
Assassination of Jesse James
The Proposition
Sukiyaki Western Django
Rescue Dawn
Doubt
Frost/Nixon
Let the Right One In
Unknown

And I would throw in 'There Will Be Blood' just because I think it's the best film of the decade, but a lot of people would disagree.

Up the Irons!!!

P@t_Mtl · 09-08-2009, 03:43 PM

Meet The Spartans

For me Watchmen & V For Vendetta, two great movies that have gone under the radar.

assydingo · 09-08-2009, 04:32 PM

broganreynik. The Nines had a great concept and solid acting. It's a crazy ride though.

Erik E. Erik · 09-08-2009, 07:33 PM

Does "Children Of Men" count? It is the best Sci-Fi film of the decade IMO. But I think it is pretty well-received.

JamesKurtovich · 09-08-2009, 07:51 PM

Mr. Brooks was AWESOME. I also dislike Dane Cook and love his role in the movie.

Children of Men was an amazing film.. Definitely underrated.
