so true, seen it 7 times or something
What exactly constitutes an underrated movie? For some it seems to mean a mediocre or crap movie that they personaly enjoy.
Personaly i would go with movies that have merits similar or better to a much more well known movie but only get a fraction of the attention.
Examples:
The Magnificent Ambersons - Directed by Orson Welles one year after Citizen Kane but imo a better and much more enjoyable film. CK has over 167k ratings on imdb. TMA only a little over 10k.
The Asphalt Jungle - Just as good as The Killing with much of the same cast but doesnt get the same attention because it wasnt directed by Stanley Kubrick. (32k ratings vs. 10k ratings)
I would call underrated, a movie that is bellow 7/6 on IMBD. I have a tendency to never watch anything bellow 6, but if someone tells me it's good I'll open an exception, hence why this is actually a useful thread.

I think these tend to be the "crap movies that i like"-kind. Underrated to me means something of value that didnt get the recognition that it deserved for various reasons. You'll find there are many movies with 8 or higher average on imdb that not many people watched.
A movie with a 6 isn't underrated if that rating reflects upon the actual quality of it.

That film was ridiculous 
Couldn't help but laugh at the bit where they are sitting around the table in gas masks trying to summon the demons

All these films have either gotten mediocre scores, low awareness or bad box office results.

Quote from PaulHThat film was ridiculous
Yeah it did receive quite mixed reviews. Normally I hate those sorts of films, but I absolutely loved it for the scare factor!
Maybe it was because I was sat with my family the day before I was due to leave to go back home... Was so funny just scaring the shit out of each other during and after the film

idiocracy
