No Way Out with Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman

For some reason I love these "list a bunch of movies" topics...

Underrated movies? I'll take that to mean lesser known, rather than movies that I like that critics or the majority didn't.

How about:

- 25th Hour (definitely agree with the OP on this one... has a great speech at the end by Brian Cox)
- Adaptation
- Amelie
- Barton Fink
- The Big Empty
- Boondock Saints (would love this one!)
- Bubba Ho-Tep
- The Chumscrubber
- City of Lost Children
- Code 46
- Confidence
- Criterion Collection!
- Devil's Advocate
- Devil's Backbone
- Dirty Harry movies
- Donnie Darko (theatrical cut)
- Dr Strangelove
- Equilibrium
- Event Horizon (<3 <3 <3 this movie, Paramount though)
- Everything is Illuminated
- Fargo
- The Good Girl
- Hudson Hawk
- Hudsucker Proxy
- Il Postino
- In America
- Intacto
- Jacob's Ladder
- Kikujiro
- L.A. Confidential
- La Moustache
- Labyrinth!
- Lady Vengeance (come on Tartan! Fade to black/white version too!)
- Last Man Standing
- Leon: The Professional (pretty well known, but it's in my top 5 all time favs)
- Last of the Mohicans
- Miller's Crossing
- Minority Report (Paramount)
- MirrorMask (really underrated henson/sony movie -- could look rather beautiful, but I have a feeling the master is soft)
- Mullholland Dr
- Naked Lunch
- Night Watch (Day watch also, now that I think about it)
- Northfork
- O brother where art thou!
- Pleasantville (if only for the colors!)
- Primer (it was probably done with SD cams though, so maybe not)
- The Salton Sea (nobody seems to know about this one... another of my favs)
- Save the Green Planet
- Science of Sleep
- Session 9 (Universal)
- Shopgirl
- SLC Punk
- Solaris (I'd kill for this one)
- Tombstone (not mentioned enough on this forum)
- Vanilla Sky
- A Very Long Engagement
- Waking Life (same director and style as scanner darkly)

for starters...

I have a buddy who LOVES The Boondock Saints. Not on my short list, but I think it would sell pretty well. For me, one of the most underrated movies is already on Blu-ray....Memento. I also love Bottle Rocket and would like to see it on Blu. It was one of my first DVD purchases.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Loved that movie. Still do.

[Kristin Simard]

OK, this thread hasn't yet gone under, so I'll add a few that I don't think are on my previous lists in this forum, but they certainly qualify:

La Fille aux yeux d'or, dir. Jean-Gabriel Albicocco


Trotta, dir. Johannes Schaaf


Effi Briest, dir. Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Actually, the full title for this one is: Fontane - Effi Briest oder: Viele, die eine Ahnung haben von ihren Möglichkeiten und Bedürfnissen und dennoch das herrschende System in ihrem Kopf akzeptieren durch ihre Taten und es somit festigen und durchaus bestätigen

[Rbrough]

Some of my All time favorites:

Donnie Darko
Heathers
Ginger Snaps (Triology)
Original Willy Wonka

Blu Rays - 35
HD - Big Zero
