Hmmm. Is Office Space underrated?

Battle Royale (2000, from Japan) - Hunger Games largely ripped off this movie

agree - I liked battle royale much more than hunger games

Valhalla Rising

 

[Optimus Prime]

Flight of the Phoenix - Jimmy Stewart

I don't know if this counts as underrated (it was a huge hit at the time) but it doesn't seem well remembered today

The Sting - Robert Redford & Paul Newman

Valhalla Rising

My brother loved this film. I tried it, was just too graphic for my tastes. Maybe I’ll give it another whirl.

It was a hard movie to watch but it really made me think about the symbolism for days. The hardest part to watch was the extended scene in the boat. It may just be a matter of taste. I could totally see why some people would not like it.

You got me thinking with your choice Flight of the Phoenix. It brought to mind 2 movies that I liked "The Sand Pebbles" and "Hell is for Heroes"

I’m definitely going to try again. I think I will like it if can get past the graphic stuff. It’s one of my brother’s favorites of all time.

It is a thinking person's movie. You gotta work for it.

And again, Moon.
