My Underrated Movies
These are movies that I think are underrated. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are obscure or even that people don't already acknowledge their greatness, but that I think they don't get the attention they deserve.

- DirectorAlex GarlandStarsNatalie PortmanJennifer Jason LeighTessa ThompsonA biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply.A very divisive film. Either you love it or you hate it... or you decide to not give it an Oscar Nomination that it deserves.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsTim RobbinsPaul NewmanJennifer Jason LeighA naive business graduate is installed as president of a manufacturing company as part of a stock scam.It bombed at the Box Office and it is hard to find any clips of it on youtube. A truly underrated comedy that has one of the most entertaining montages ever put to screen.
Sure, the plot might be a little predictable and thin, but it knows what it is and has fun with it. - DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsVictor SjöströmBibi AnderssonIngrid ThulinAfter living a life marked by coldness, an aging professor is forced to confront the emptiness of his existence.While this movie is already regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time, I've noticed not a lot of people actually talk about it. Usually Bergman's other works like Persona or Seventh Seal (which I believe to be inferior) are brought up.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsWill SmithBill PullmanJeff GoldblumThe aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy Earth. Fighting superior technology, mankind's best weapon is the will to survive.I bring this one up because I know a ton of internet critics and reviewers loath this movie and claim that it is terrible. It is not a bad movie by any means. It knows what it is: a fun, over-the-top, cheesy, action alien flick.
- DirectorFrancis LawrenceStarsWill SmithAlice BragaCharlie TahanYears after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure.The ending to this movie isn't fantastic, but that doesn't mean the entire film is a failure. When it is just Will Smith the movie is great.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsJennifer LawrenceJavier BardemEd HarrisA couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.I don't "love" this movie, but I love what it is trying to do. It's method of storytelling and premise is very unique and fresh and I'm a bit surprised that a lot of people who like these types of films didn't like this one.
- DirectorSatoshi KonStarsJunko IwaoRica MatsumotoShinpachi TsujiA pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past.While anime fans already love this movie, it is underrated in the sense that most movie buffs don't know about it or have seen it.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsEwan McGregorAlbert FinneyBilly CrudupA frustrated son tries to determine the fact from fiction in his dying father's life.Based on the IMDb rating, this movie has been getting more and more recognition over the years. I remember when it was first released and people thought it was just a little above average, but now it is starting to be viewed as something special.
