I was in Savannah not long after the movie was filmed. The guide raved about the generosity of people like Eastwood and Cusack.

The guy who played the judge was actually the lawyer (played by Jack Thompson).

Again. Isn’t is a case of being underappreciated rather than underrated? As it was highly lauded and acclaimed, everyone who saw it rated it. I feel like there should be a distinction here?

The Bourne Legacy was the best of the Bourne series of movies, there I said it.

89

In no particular order or genre:

Robo Cop, ( The original with Peter Weller)
Starship Troopers
The Princess Bride
The Love Bug, (1968 original)
Repo Man
The Man who would be King
Where Eagles Dare
Kellys Heroes
The Outlaw Josey Wales

Yes I have seen that Saucy. Ray Winstone is one of my favourite actors and he is just downright intimidating and scary in Nil By Mouth.

I should have included this in my original post too.

The original Robocop really is underated. Even the second one.

One of my favourites is SPY IN THE SKY starring Helen Mirren . A gripping story of a drone operation in the ME and the ethics decisions made by the operators. Not all that well known but definitely a goody.

Starship troopers is a great shout.

Rocky balboa. Everyone raves about rocky 1 and 2. But balboa is imo the best in the series

Maybe @Killer_Mike could put some sort of criteria around “underrated”.

True. I have no idea how many awards a movie has won, just more of who mentions it in conversation.

That’s how i interpreted it too. If a movie has flown under the radar a little or maybe dropped off the planet after initial release.

So “Sunshine” or “Event Horizon” fit the bill?

+1. cracking movie

as far as 90s comedies go, I reckon Airheads doesn’t get as much of a run as it should. Holds up pretty well.
