just looked it up, I think it fits the literal definition of underrated when half the time these threads wind up with movies like the Godfather and Citizen Kane.
Amongst Friends has a 33% tomatometer but a 72% audience score.
no stars either except a young Mira Sorvino and an awesome soundtrack.
I haven't seen alot of these. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls070030260/ - ( New Window )
I havent gone through the whole list, but Children Of Men at #1 has me questioning my taste in movies. To me, that is not a underrated movie at all. I think its an excellent movie

I think it just means that not enough people have seen it.
This was a Netflix 'recommendation' some years back that popped up.
On a large spacecraft, crew member awakens from hypersleep - ship is all messed up, blacked out with occasional power surges. He realizes he and crew are not alone.
My favorite sleeper surprise flick ever - scary as fuck. GREAT movie.
Before Sunrise - Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet in Europe as young adults and have a 1 night adventure. Its a fine film but one you have to watch to get to..
Before Sunset - 9 years later they meet again, this movie is literally perfect.

I like all of this trilogy too. Before Midnight is slightly depressing but I already loved the characters so it was enjoyable.
I've seen most. Many very good movies on the list. Here are my top ten not in any particular order (again, just from that list). If you haven't seen any of these, put them on your list to watch soon.
* Children of Men - post-apocalyptic movie full of tense moments throughout, should leave you pondering humanity quite a bit
* Maria Full of Grace - outstanding movie dealing with trafficking
* Winter's Bone - excellent, gritty movie which shows a child picking up the pieces for her dysfunctional family. Set in Appalachia.
* Pursuit of Happyness - feel good drama based on a true story, one man's fight for the American dream.
* Gone Baby Gone - ending stretches imagine a bit too far for me, otherwise the type of movie I watch and enjoy over and over again.
* In Bruges - dark comedy, very well done - story of a couple of hit men hiding out in Belgium after a job gone wrong.
* Frozen River - Suspenseful drama - a single mom tries to pick up the pieces when her unfaithful husband leaves her and her finances in shambles. Set in upstate NY on the Canadian border.
* Syriana - well done piece about a CIA field agent trying his best to deal with very complex problems.
* Eyes Wide Shut - bizarre night for an upper middle class doctor questioning his relationship with his wife. Heavy themes about sex and infidelity permeate the film.
* The Machinist - very good film - Hitchcockian psychological thriller. If you didn't appreciate Christian Bale's devotion to his craft seeing what he did to fill this role will convert you.
* Not sure how Gangs of New York can be considered underrated given its 10 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writing, Original Screenplay, and Best Actor in a leading role.
is one of my favorite movies. The same person, Martin McDonagh, also wrote and directed "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" which was also very good.
+1!

My underrated movie rec is The Man from Earth. It's more of an intellectual thought-provoking movie than sci-fi(as the title would suggest).

Very funny, and each day, the world seems to be racing toward the satire future in the film.
There is a scene in a diner in Syriana that was filmed a block from my house (I know, cool story bro.)
The Eiger Sanction

The one with Clooney and his son or the scene with Clooney and Christopher Plummer?

The one with Christopher Plummer. I think it's toward the end of the movie. The same place has also been used in episodes of House of Cards.

I had a friend named Dunphy in college. Give you one guess what his nickname was.
