never seen the actual flick, but she looks hot in the promotional stuff
Brandon Hill
I remember reading that book series as a kid, and then dropping it because one of them was really stupid. They have an entire book that's about what happens before they go underground, and it all focuses on some comatose lady spouting prophecies in her sleep. It climaxes with them capturing all the dogs to exterminate them because she said "no dogs" in her sleep, but they're saved at the last second because she wakes up and says "The nightmare was about the future having no dogs" and then the book spent an entire chapter on the characters concluding that religion and mindless faith is bad. It finally ends with a flash forward like 50 years later where the characters actually go underground and the entire event is skipped over.

Not how I remember it. They were living in a vault. They were vault dwellers. Their water chip/life support/nuclear reactor/generator broke down. It felt very post apocalyptic.
Jack Butler
it was pretty decent for a young adult movie, I wish it took off so they could make all the sequels
Jackson Taylor
good one user
John Bennett
Not sure if it's underrated, it's on tv almost every Halloween. Still kino though
Jose Mitchell
Pretty good one actually.
I feel like there's a weirdly large number of underrated saoiarsieoue kinos, especially considering her age
Dominic Perez
because she's the best
Dylan Allen
this is a big one in my mind. such a cool flick, and it mostly ended up being bargain bin fodder.
Cameron Rodriguez
Benjamin Lopez
ehhh, I dunno, I think that one was rated appropriately. Stellar cast, amusing overall, some genuinely funny bits, plot kinda drags.
Asher Campbell
Nah, it's superb. And way better than the first film.
Matthew Davis
Adrian Russell
>way better than the first film
that part I agree with
Nolan Murphy
This flick right here. One of the funniest comedies of the 00's, was generally ignored (most likely distributors being skittish about the subject matter).
Basic premise: character is a veteran auteur director in the general vein of a fillini or herzog, who insists on the sanctity of his "uncomprising artistic vision", with the catch being that he's a porn director. but he goes batshit over a heavens gate style big budget flop and then collides with the harsh shoestring-budget reality of the internet era. shenanigans, etc.
Cameron Parker
Gonna rewatch this right now
Liam Stewart
bump
Brody Walker
Ethan Jenkins
Ian James
i was meh on this until the ending, which i loved. one of these days i need to rewatch.
Christian Gomez
I went to see that in the theatres for some reason even though I've never read the source material. It's rated G like a kids movie but it really doesn't feel like one.
Jose Carter
Connor Reed
Yes
David Perez
This movie has the most painful-to-watch deus ex machina of any movie I've seen
Luis Garcia
Your priorities with that film are out of wack.
Charles Nelson
Asher James
This one was actually great
Brody King
Bill Murray is reddit.
Oliver King
seeing this cover made me think of this one for some reason
Nicholas Cruz
Maybe in the 90s-early 2000s. Most people now consider it a Halloween tradition. I see Sanderson sisters costumes every year and the DVD is available year round at Target.
Hunter Russell
aaaaand this one reminded me of pic related
very few movies are good *because* of brittany murphy, but she randomly appeared in a hell of a lot of good movies
Kevin Martin
she was in a ton of decent stuff at her prime. god bless her
Brandon Ward
>HEY
>YOUR ENWEE WOWINS
Michael Cox
was ricci always THAT hot?
i swear i didn't noticed her as a kid, but now it's so obvious
Joshua Cooper
yes
James Richardson
Yes, she was always that hot.
Hudson Brooks
Yes it's stupid and episodic, and Peter Sellers's autism on the set destroyed any chance of a coherent story due to having to write him out, but if you think about it, it kinda laid the groundwork for every modern blockbuster:
>Quips every few seconds
>Acknowledging absurdities to seem ''self-aware'' and excuse them
>Ridiculously expensive set-pieces for throw-away scenes
>gratuitous big-name cameos
>lots of explosions
>Grizzled old veteran has to come out of retirement
>''unexpected'' villain reveal
>Villain is a nerdy insecure white male
>Hot woman cast as 'ugly' woman
>Disproportionate cast billing
>Elaborate theme song
Should be shown in film schools. Also very clearly an inspiration for Austin Powers, even more than the real 007 films.
Isaiah Bell
>Hot woman cast as 'ugly' woman
that's the very opposite of what modern blockbusters do
Jonathan Price
Pretty much everyone I know watches this movie for Halloween
Cameron Ramirez
He was legitimately great in that movie. By which I mean - grizzled guy grumbling his way through a script fit the movie perfectly.
aaaah zombies deserves way more credit than it got
Brayden Robinson
>The Specials is severely underrated
>Mystery Men is severely overrated
Dominic Powell
Well, for a while there was a trend in romantic comedies or Oscar Bait-biopics to cast hot actresses and make them 'ugly' by having them wear glasses/frumpy clothes.
CR casts Deborah Kerr as a madame for a group of female spies who the script treats as if she's an aging grotesque who Sir James is repulsed by, but she still looks hot.
Luke Lopez
>she's an aging grotesque
Seems pretty on point to me.
Women that age should be pushing dignified high fashion and keeping their clothes on.
Carter Cook
>better than pan's labyrinth by a mile
Justin Mitchell
>better than blair witch by a mile
Kevin Morales
It's not phenomenal but considering that this was a low budget horror film about bigfoot in an age of demon dolls and spirit monsters, it was actually pretty damn good with some genuinely scary moments
Jackson Hall
I keep meaning to check that out, and now I probably will
reminds me, Monsters caught me completely off guard with how good it was
Juan Foster
yeah, im amazed at how characters simply reacting to spooky shit the way real life people would goes so far in imbuing the story with real immersion
Carter Bell
this is an unusual film. it stars Samuel L. Jackson playing a character other than Samuel L. Jackson.
David Hall
Ryan Morgan
almost had a heart attack the first time i heard the text to speech voice. dumb ending though.
Bentley Flores
dumb endings are a minimum requirement of found footage flicks
Eli Cruz
considering how big cyberpunk is in general, it's amazing this flick doesn't get more love
Joseph Morales
It's criminal how few have even seen this
>wimpy tax collector is forced to sleep in haunted temple by sneering villagers
>he meets a beautiful girl
>turns out girl is a slave ghost tasked with seducing and feeding travellers to ancient demon
>ghost falls in love with taxmsn
>ancient demon gets angry and marries her off to lord of hell
>taxman embarks to free ghost girl from hell itself
It's so fucking good.
Michael Miller
this but unironically but freejack
Gavin Perez
oh and remake is utter shit, stick to 80's original
Landon Taylor
An excellent film, although Potato Lewis was an odd choice for a "hot" pop star.
Matthew Ramirez
>Freejack
my user, right here
Lucas Stewart
jesus christ
Matthew Murphy
no disagreement there, but she's certainly suited to being the crazy ex in the 2nd half
Andrew Green
eh, such are the perils of YA literature. OP was still a pretty entertaining flick.
Ayden Hill
there's a really weird disconnect between this movie and all the wacky shit he made later on
Dylan Diaz
Jack Stewart
Justin Martinez
She certainly does crazy well. Prime Angela Bassett could have made more sense as the pop star.
Sebastian Turner
there's a whole subcategory of Forgotten Romero Movies that would fit in here
Jayden Howard
eh... He Never Died wasn't really that great
Kevin Wilson
Ryan Taylor
ah, I liked it. started off kinda lackluster (the whole first half honestly was a little bland) but once it had a little more emotional weight in the 2nd bit it clicked. the bits where he goes off the end and he's screaming at God and God Doesn't Answer were what cemented it as kino for me.
Henry Butler
>Hell Comes To Frogtown
low budget genre trash, silly as fuck, but rowdy roddy is never not entertaining
Luis Hall
SISTER ACT
Great cast, great story, great direction, great soundtrack obviously.
Lucas Lopez
William Peterson
DOG SOLDIERS
great cast, great story, great direction, great soundtrack obviously, wait you can say that about any movie can't you
Juan Ortiz
Fuck yeah. One of my favorite movie endings, ever.
Cameron Gray
aw yeah campfire philosophy
youtube.com
Samuel Russell
ok, sure, but it's not underrated. that flick was huge when it came out. everybody saw it, it was a standard.
Matthew Wood
Jose Powell
Don't get me wrong, I thought it was okay. I just wouldn't really call it 'severely underrated'. I think it's a niche taste, and for everyone that loves it there'll be two people that hated it (which actually matches the RT score pretty well).
Elijah Williams
fair enough, I can see where you're coming from there. honestly that's probably most of the flicks here though, "severely underrated" usually translates to either "I thought this was great, and everybody else thought it sucked" or "I thought this was great, and I'm the only person that watched it".
Leo Perry
You and I might be the only ones who have seen this incredible film.
Carson Flores
knightriders and martin are a couple of my favorite romero flicks. with all due respect to various times of day of the dead
Jaxon Barnes
this one was pretty great yeah, at least for a single viewing. not a ton of story, but any movie that can do something with the monster genre I haven't seen before gets a nod by default.
Isaiah Campbell
knightriders is whatever. martin is legitimately the best thing he ever made.
Angel Howard
>LOVE! IT'S LIKE A HURRICANE
>IT HAPPENS IN FLORIDA
>AND IT DESTROYS EVERYTHING
that song was stuck in my head for like a year after I saw that movie. now it is stuck in my head again.
William Long
You should see her in Mermaids.
Colton Ramirez
>knightriders is whatever

honestly if you want to grab a beer and have this argument, that is a thing I would do
Henry Hall
of the two dozen beowulf movies that got released in the last couple decades, this one was the best
yes, counting 13th warrior. although that is also a pretty good one
and if anybody mentions the christopher lambert one they have to spend the rest of their lives sharing a one bedroom apartment with grendel's mother
Michael Powell
Freeways are unknown but not underrated. Yea Forums is learning. Bokeem is also a treasure.
Carter Carter
do tell
Xavier Lopez
that was a nice sersha movie
I'd like to add this, a bit crazy one.
Lucas Turner

Good choice. I love the towering werewolf design in it.
Lucas Foster
The book was way better
Josiah Phillips
I hope you fucking die
Jaxson Watson
i liked that one too but i'm a sucker for anything in that genre. especially battle beyond the stars
Adam Rivera
Nice I must have missed that one, I'll give it a watch.
Robert Brown
Joseph Smith
out of all of those star wars rip offs it's hands down my favorite, then ice pirates, and spacehunter.
Jackson Young

Ethan Carter

Michael Clark
I love Ice Pirates. The black guy in that movie is hilarious.
Jason Sanders
>he did not enjoy a post-apoc beowulf with pounding techno music and backflips every fifth minute
I don't care what the rest of the people in the world say, that movie is fun.
Grayson Price
Of all the... interesting movies Albert Pyun has made about cyborgs doing kickboxing, well, um...
To put it this way, if you enjoyed Cyborg and Nemesis then Knights might be worth a watch as well.
youtube.com
Jayden Garcia
Is it really underrated if it has such a huge following? I mean, they even did a special celebration anniversary concert thing for the movie. Which is pretty impressive for a movie hated by critics.
Jeremiah Diaz
It was a cult film for a long time
Ethan Reed
booooooringggg
Colton Bailey
no
Jace Williams
This has the most entertaining ending of any horror movie ever made
>Protagonist gets voodoo magic and sends the bad guys to hell
Austin Murphy
Best Christmas movie coming through.
Ryder Johnson
Asher Martin
But thats not Gremlins
Luis Green
I saw this movie when i was about 7. What a scary mindfuck
Nathan Scott
>don't bury me
>i'm not dead
Justin Rivera
That wasn't at all underrated. It was grossly overrated. It's a student edgemeister film.
>dude man the autistic ptsd hero bro
>let's get the most unathletic man ever to play him
>dude bro then we'll like have him imagine people are bleeding all the time because that's totally what ptsd is like dudebroman
It could've been a really good film, too.
Wyatt King
It's a fucking stupid film.
I went and saw that because Ministry was on the soundtrack before they blew up.
Aiden Wright
That was a great film.
Jordan White
No
No
Ryan Brooks

Pure Kino
Josiah Collins
It essentially become a typical revenge defeat evil more, and was disappointing
Eli Taylor

Julian Johnson
you agree, user?
Nicholas Jackson
Xavier Roberts
dude, don't even joke about that
William Anderson
I almost didn't sit through this movie. An ex thought the cover was cute then after the movie she hated it and I loved it.
Joshua Edwards
Think about how much of this movie is coming true
Josiah Allen
I really liked this book as a kid - no idea they made a movie out of it
Jaxson Brooks
They should make this into a game.
just that sport. There aren't enough fictional sports games.
Jackson Rogers
Lucas Jones
I was just thinking about this movie today. Saw it many years back but I really enjoyed it.
Ayden Turner
One of my favorites
Dominic Jackson
Fido is the best zombie movie that nobody ever talks about.
Ryder Jones
This is so much better than Bobcat Goldfuck's shitty Bigfoot abortion.
Nolan Wood
Ink is a terrible movie. A terrible, terrible movie. But I get drunk and cry at the scene where the dad pretend fights the monsters in the field to save his daughter over and over and over again. Fuck.
Josiah Williams
boys a cute. A CUTE.
Joseph Sanders
based but not ironically :(
Cameron Sanders
Great thread!

Looks interesting, and it’s on Prime.
I’ll catch this tomorrow, thanks user

how the fuck are you calling a movie that spawned like 3 sequels underrated?
Camden Kelly
Watched it a few years ago. It was fun.
Michael Brooks
