rudi must stay Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think with all the time we have on our hands it would be nice to start a thread for underrated stuff. I'll start. I watched Babyteeth, an Aussie drama that I found very good. It's on Netflix, and I just picked up a film today I can't wait to watch called "Mogul Mowgli" starring the very good Riz Ahmed. I also think "Proxima" a French Astronaut film starring Eva Green looks a nice cinematic watch, it's on netflix. Anyone got any to add that people may not have heard of?

Tazio Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The same one I always mention when this subject comes up. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Very funny rogue in cheek detective movie set in LA with Robert Donnie Jr and Val Kilmer. One of those films that anyone who’s seen it loves it but not enough people have seen it.

Samuel Camazzola Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The Woodsman. I can't recall how it was critically received but its release was pretty low key. It stars Kevin Bacon who plays a convicted paedo who returns to his hometown following his release. He tries to rebuild his life whilst fighting inner demons. A very compelling storyline. It also features Eve, Benjamin Bratt and Michael Shannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) The Great Escape II: The Untold Story; Christopher Reeve stars. Very good movie. I think it's his best role, if not, one of his best. Not the same style or atmospheric with music or comedy. Mostly just drama. Was on the SonyAction movie channel on Saturday tea time, just past.

John Findlay Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I watched one yesterday called Entebbe made in 2018 which was on BBC2 the other night. Eddie Marsan, Daniel Bruhl and Rosamund Pike( very underrated actress imo), the names in it. Vastly superior to the 1970s film Raid on Entebbe.

Mysterion Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 2 suggestions - Guy Ritchie’s “Revolver” - much better than the press/reviewers suggested. Circus - John Hannah, Famke Janssen, Peter Stormare and a load of Brit actors. I enjoyed it at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of flops go onto be recognised as good films. The Shawshank Redemption and It’s A Wonderful Life being prime examples. Works the other way round as well, a few WTF best film Oscar winners.

Cade Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Dark City never gets the recognition it deserves. Very similar themes to The Matrix, which came out a year later. Jennifer Connelly has never looked better. That's just a bonus to an excellent story. Try to find the Director's Cut which removes the stupid voiceover track that actually spoils the entire plot before the film even starts.
