[@1prozzak6616]

Super underrated!

[@nadtz]

That was indeed a great movie.

[@sandothemando8924]

Yes! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a hugely underrated film and a brilliantly smart comedy. It's rare to see films like it that are sophisticated, stylish and whip-smart satirical comedy films! Better still, it has a twist being a clever neo-noir send-up!

[@Mixppmix]

It is brilliant on how it is playing with a clichés.

[@DC-js4gk]

A lot of fun. Like The Nice Guys. This is my genre.

[@angelsosa339]

In bruges is definitely a hidden gem. Must watch!

[@captainfantabulous1414]

One of the best

[@mikeb4469]

In Bruges is one of my favourite films of all time. Gleason is brilliant, Farrell showcases skills in this movie that we have rarely seen from him, and Fiennes is Fiennes (which means he's great). What about Dredd (Urban version)? I think that's one of the most visually exceptional movies in quite some time.

[@TheHarlequinCrest]

Kingdom of heaven Director's cut. That is the most underrated film i've seen in my entire life

[@ryandare7201]

I thought Orlando Bloom overacted horribly in that film. King Baldwin was brilliant though!

[@CinemaDemocratica]

I found it really badly paced -- uneven to the point of near-whiplash -- but what it had going for it was a *lot*, notably the historical accuracy, the strength of the leading roles, and some of the battle scenes were downright superlative. The one where Balian takes his men out of the castle to engage Sulahadin despite enormous odds -- and in particular the first moment of impact -- stays with a person a long, long, *lonnnnnnnng* time afterward.

[@sensational_cellar8606]

Yeah IKR, that scene with the kid in the church had me absolutely stunned for a good ten minutes

[@zimmermanj4]

I never got over the kid in the church and hated watching the entire movie as a result. I didn’t even know it was funny until someone told me. I think I even hated Colin Ferrel for a few years after that movie.

The Fall is unspeakably beautiful & one of my favorite. The Fountain is also superb. Both of these are so visually full of texture! Also great plot. Well worth watching.

[@wyattcorbin1629]

Mads Mikkleson, most underrated fucking actor ever.

[@paulpincemin5700]

Wyatt Corbin Check out "The Hunt". It's kind of harsh, but Mikkelsen is excellent in it.

[@xenophone2006]

Check him out in Flame and Citron. Enjoyed that movie a lot

[@patrickwatrick5047]

He'll be in the upcoming movie/game Death Stranding with Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon in TWD. That game's created by the legend Hideo Kojima, and Mikkleson's acting in it looks really good.

Geoffrey Schotte I saw it in college with a friend of mine who had to watch it for a film class (she was studying cinematography). We sat there in complete silence through the whole thing (normally we'd chat through the movies) and when it was over, we looked at each other and just let out this huge sigh. What an incredible treat that was. I really should get myself a copy!

[@JesseJ588]

I wish I had enjoyed The Fall more... I agree it was visually stunning, I just didn't enjoy it. I tried so hard to love it...

[@ia5662]

One Hour Photo....a real study into loneliness and the human psyche. Oddly enough, all the guy did before and after was basically music videos for top 40 artists, but I'll argue this film any day of the week. Incredible performance by Robin Williams. He was taking a lot of chances in that era for sure and showing his non-comedic range.

Ppl should stop using the word underrated as a substitute to mean not commercially successful. Movies like In Bruges, The Fall, Mary & Max ...etc. we're rated...by lots of critics and were highly praised. Something good that was passed off as average or terrible by critics and pundits but is in fact worth a look, listen, taste or whatever the case, would be an item or experience that was underrated.

[@caninesaga1547]

Moon (2009) is a brilliant movie. We have watched it so many times, yet everyone else seem to have never even heard of it before

[@jettoscranda]

Exactly, but also not many people that I know seem to like it... It's so underrated IMO!

[@matejlj]

I have when it came our. I always have an "open eye" for good sci fi, since it is an amazing (for me the best) genre, but so so rare (I don't count movies like Transformers, (new) Star trek, and simmilar sci fi, and neither should you)

[@jettoscranda]

I love this genre too but sadly there are not many good movies I can count in. Something similar to aquatic monster movies, I love them, yet there aren't many good ones around.

Cool, have seen half of these and can say they are brilliant!! From your pics I've seen already I will definitely watch the one I haven't!!!! Always great to get turned on too truly AWSOME films!! CHEERS!!😎👍 👍👍

[@jimhyman8544]

Good call on In Bruges. I would also add a brilliant comedy and parody of musical biopics, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. It was well received by critics, but a box office bomb. It does turn up occasionally on cable, unlike pretty much every film in this list, so perhaps it's not quite underrated enough.

[@vincentslone1463]

A Scanner Darkly, Sunshine, Layer Cake, Inside Man, Children of Men, Snatch, The Darjeeling Limited (Wes Anderson)! Remember being blown away with Life Aquatic the first time I saw it which was actually on the Sundance Channel, just absolutely astounding visuals with great bits of comedy AND drama thrown in there to match. One of my favorite movies no doubt!

[@Sneewitchen1]

THE FALL is absolutely stunning, amazing and beautiful! Really shame that it didn´t get all attention it deserves.Mr Nobody -too

[@clinteastwood2176]

Sneewitchen1 the fall was fucking polarizing

[@danimal118]

Zero desire to see the fall. It looks like a bad night at the circus; empty and full of flare.

[@ismu34]

Probably because the end was really underwhelming

[@bkr23]

The Fall is really a remake of an old obscure Bulgarian movie named Yo Ho Ho. Apart from changing the young male actor with a young female one, it is a quite straight up remake. Oh, and TONS more full of colour, which is part of why it is so great - the visuals are simply baffling in The Fall. If you get the chance, do watch the "making of" clips on the DVD.

[@Art_Travel_and_Hobbys]

Sneewitchen1 Mr. Nobody was an amazing film... 👍

[@untitled8005]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang! is the most underrated film of all time.

[@theDonRua]

Terrific breakdown. I really enjoyed Apocalypto visually, for pace, action. It's a rollercoaster that moves like Jason Bourne in a setting that's rarely been presented.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

+TomgkTV... I don't remember exactly how it ends (although I do remember him NOT dying), but it was fucking amazing movie indeed. I remember having sat down to watch it out of boredom cause I had just watched all of the blockbusters of that time and wanted to watch another good movie, but - like I said - I had already watched all of them, and I sat down to watch Moon with little expectations. Needless to say the movie (more specifically, the hidden plot) kept me watching for 1 more minute, and another one... and another one... until the finale came and had my jaws dropping. I think I stood there in the chair during the ending credits rolling and contemplated what I had just seen for like 2-3 minutes straight (maybe more) before I even managed to close the VLC player, and even after I had closed it I was still unable to do anything for 1-2 more minutes. Just sat there in the chair and thought about how interesting and unpredictable the movie was :) ... Oh well, since we're at this anyway, may I also recommend Spectral (2016) to everyone? That movie was still kind of "under the radar" (well, I haven't heard / seen any trailer of it anyway, and only heard about the movie 1 year later), and - just like Moon - it was also underrated and extremely good movie. Seriously, go watch that movie everyone. It fucking kicks ass

[@hakont.4960]

"Moon" is a very interesting film, I really like it.

[@Astfgl]

The cool thing about Moon is that the plot twist is basically the setup of the movie. The core of the movie is then about how to deal with the consequences of that twist. A very smart movie that plays out in an unexpected way.

Rising Superstar I read the manga and then watched the film both are great but completely different

[@quenteqmampff8204]

A few other Korean films I'd recommend if you love Oldboy are "New World" and "I Saw the Devil". Partially because they both also star Choi Min-Sik, but also because they're both incredible films. Highly recommended!!

[@vivianejenoc]

The Fall is my favourite movie. THANK YOU for putting it on top ! Breathtakingly clever, you see and understand something new every single time you watch it.

[@christiancreates8658]

The Fall is one of my favourite films and nobody as ever heard of it. I even bought it on blu ray even though I never got round to buying a player 🤷🏻‍♂️ I did not expect to find it on this list! Nice one 👍🏻

[@thejon93rd]

Take Shelter (2011) is easily one of the most underrated/underappreciated movies I've ever seen. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain are phenomenal in their respective roles and the fact that the film itself didn't get serious awards recognition is seriously baffling to me. It's one of my all-time favourite movies and I hope more people get the chance to experience it. If you enjoy mind-bending movies that reward you on repeat viewings, then you'll adore Take Shelter.

[@olliojenarter]

On your description I decided to give it a watch. It looks really interesting.

[@thejon93rd]

Happy to hear it, my friend. I hope you enjoy it.

[@BitOfBoth]

The soundtrack is also something else.

[@thejon93rd]

Yeah. The soundtrack by David Wingo is so hauntingly effective.

[@SuperPapaDopolis]

just watched it this week. very interesting movie, I enjoyed it, but not rewatchable

[@NC-ck5oj]

mary and max was one of the most touching movies ive ever seen

[@FishDingers]

can u please include the titles of movies and shows you show clips of, it drives me insane when I recognize a shot from something but can’t recall the title

[@bushbasher85]

Your mention of Mary and Max has earned you a like.

[@fakebrake]

In bruges rocked.

[@garyedgar9778]

Have you seen The Guard ? If not , you'll love it .

[@christosshugeh9573]

Yeah in Bruges rocked definitely.....watch Dead mans shoes 2004

[@false-flagburner4184]

I told a couple of buddies to watch it and they hated it... so weird cuz I thought is was the most thought provoking movie I have seen in many many years. I felt like I was living vicariously through the lives of two hitman that hated their choices in their lives and it was really interesting to say the least.

[@grimmuzz]

Watching the THE GUARD now, feckin' awesome so far. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Terixofevermore]

The grey for me till this day, is Liam neesons best work as an actor. The movie had me emotionally invested from the start.

[@koru1362]

In Bruge and The Fall were both BRILLIANT. Highly enjoyable and full of heart. Guess that means I ought to give the rest of these a look. :)

[@christosshugeh9573]

Dead Mans Shoes 2004.........watch it.

[@ashesanddiamonds2692]

awesome film...a room for Romeo brass is good too.

[@andrewfurey2999]

Christos Shugeh beast of a film

[@TheFrase80]

Bloody brilliant film!

[@Noahdaceo]

Children of Men is one of the best and even tbh, most realistic or best-predicted future imo of a movie ever other than the Blade Runner Series.

[@duduklessons7239]

Yes. Absolutely.

[@kdawson7955]

omg so so dark, harrowing but still, i watch it every few months

[@plonkies]

best predicted future? LOL

[@alecvogel3269]

I agree. That movie was so good. I was scrolling down the comments waiting for someone to mention that movie.

[@thewopstop]

No question one of the best movies of the last 20 years.

[@IvorPresents]

Speaking of Brendon Gleeson, He was also outstanding in Calvary (2014). Since you allowed animation on your list, might I suggest, The Illusionist (2010) or for that matter, The Triplets of Belleville (2003). One of the most ambitious Wachowski brothers films is the glorious, Cloud Atlas (2012) visually stunning, brilliantly plotted, and superbly cast. This film was way underrated.

[@tejasrege13]

L'Illusionniste is a true masterpiece...

[@growlinghands4696]

*Moon* is a homage to a specific 1960 novella, "Rogue Moon" by Algis Budrys. If you like that era SF you need to read it, though it might feel ponderous to today's fan. It is a very cinematic tale - I could "watch" it in all its 60s glory as I read it. *Moon* has Sam Rockwell, which is an advantage, but "Rogue Moon" explores the morality more.

[@VonDeliriumTremens]

Please understand that 'underrated' does not mean 'movie I never heard of', especially when one is hardly a movie fan, what is pretty obvious given the content of the videos. Seriously, 5 out of 10 movies mentioned received very positive reviews and awards and were also vastly popular among intended audiences. 'Moon' received rave reviews and was praised for being a rare hard-sf gem among modern science fiction movies. Script and performance were also noted for being top-notch. Nominated to 17 prestigious awards, won good half of them. 'The Guard' became and instant cult classic in Ireland, was considered the best movie of the year and gathered almost unanimously positive reviews (e.g. 94% rating on RT if this means anything). Again, nominated for almost twenty awards, won good half of them. 'Mary and Max' also received universally positive reviews, mainly thanks to great voice acting, clever script and well-executed black comedy. It also generated large revenue in all countries that screened it (for some reason in USA ot has been only released as video on demand). 'In Bruges' was universally praised, especially being a début for director and writer. Most reviews stress the great performance of the main cast and the intelligently contrived plot. Received several awards including Golden Globe. 'The Fall' and 'Valhalla Rising' received a similar treatment - these movies were almost universally praised by critics abroad for non-standard approach, but were also criticised for somehow incoherent plot that was by far outweighed by elaborate visuals (although the review were still pretty favourable). According to some American critics, 'The Fall' was one of the best movies of 2008, even accounting for the fact it was virtually a glamourized remake of the Bulgarian movie from the 1980's.

[@jharwell626]

The Assassination of Jesse James fits perfectly this list. Stunning imagery and haunting throughout.

[@meggy0]

I just commented the same thing! One of my all time favorite films. I can understand why it didn't do well, not the 'action' film people thought it would be but I just love everything about it. Still my favorite Deakins film too.

[@Triattt]

Wouldn't call it underrated though. I think it's known how great a movie it is, now.

[@indigostation3238]

Yeah I'd forgot about that, it almost feels like a much older film somehow as if it as filmed in the 80's, one of Brad Pitt's best efforts imo. It's got an eerie vibe throughout the entire movie especially the voiceover talking about how Jesse James was getting increasingly paranoid, suffering from rheumatism and would look at the entails of chickens for omens, very revealing. Another good movie with Sam Rockwell, he seems to pick the good ones, I also enjoyed the one with Rockwell, Colin Farrell and Christopher Walkden with Woody Harleson as the Gangster, great movie.

[@WhoopsieDayZ]

Yeah it's a very underrated film and I hardly ever see anyone talk about it.

[@indigostation3238]

the iron way It wasn't weak it just wasn't an action flick rolling along at a million miles an hour, to me it felt more like a low budget indie flick that ends up becoming a cult movie. It was definitely about characters and from what I've learned very close to the true story, I agree Casey Afleck was great in it and it was mostly the story about him, Jesse James and why he did what he did, but ultimately he gained no happiness from his deed and just ended up making Jesse James more of hero while he was just known the coward. When the guy came to kill him in the end it was like he welcomed that bullet, his life had turned to shit and even his own brother left him by committing suicide because he couldn't live with what he'd done. Like I said great story and wonderfully narrated by Afleck.

[@sr4663]

The Drop with Tom Hardy and the late great James Gandolfini.

[@jamalvargas4783]

Afro samurai great anime

[@Audiman0aha]

I loved Moon and no one I know had ever seen it. good to see it on the list!

[@EditorzzMomm]

m4N5L4y3R great movie, and the fact that it was directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son), just takes it to the whole other level..

[@harrytaylor7410]

The nice guys, great film 👌🏼

[@NicBrandon]

Harry Taylor Yes it is, but that's 2010's.

[@Pritt06]

Nicolas Brandon So was The Guard

[@NicBrandon]

Mark Pritt lol, posted this while watching the video. I didn't get to the part yet. Well, Nice Guys should've been on this list.

[@KillZoneHart1]

Harry Taylor underrated but not 2000s. 2016.

[@MarvinNero]

Nicolas Brandon No, The Guard just shouldn't have been. I love The Nice Guys and I don't doubt that The Guard is a great movie either, but neither of them is from the 2000's so neither should be on this list.

[@dablackdevil86]

So glad you mentioned The Fall and The Fountain. My two favourite movies of all time

[@RaggyJha]

Half the films on this list are my all time faves! Will definitely check out the others......but I'd also add Sunshine to your list.
