Big Trouble in Little China, a cult classic that makes for a great drunk movie. Also, Kung Fu Hustle, which makes me laugh my ass off and cry my eyes out all in one sitting.

The Theif and The Cobbler (every version/copy of it) (1992? the dates vary with each release) (if interested or curious all can be found/watched on YouTube)

very very very underrated in my opinion and one of my childhood favourites that I checked out if the library a plethora of times

I mean just look at this animation ! No one is doing this anymore !







and here's a good video essay on the film
I could talk about this film for ages (along with similar underrated animated films for example, Persepolis which is based on a graphic novel and The Rabbi's Cat which is also based on a graphic novel/comic)

the first time I saw this film I disliked it

but when I look back at it I think it's a good film not for everyone but good

I really liked the imagery used throughout the film too and how things were shot

 

[bleeding_heart_show]

I wouldn't call it underrated necessarily, but I don't hear a lot of people talk about it beyond "haha it's so trippy".

 

[Redacted24]

I loved Persepolis too...
Rat Race 2001 for being ridiculous
Testament 1983 for being sombre
There are some foreign films that are also gems, like Teachers Diary 2014 Thai movie is sweet

Yeah, it deals with some pretty heavy subject matter and is an unsettling mindfuck in general, but that's what I like about it. And at its heart it's about someone trying to cope with deep-seated childhood trauma, which I find relatable. I also agree that it was done very artistically and I love the dark imagery.

downsizing (ik i'm weird), train to busan, the hostel

 

[Redacted24]

I'm back with another one: Shoplifters (2018) Japan . How the "system" can destroy what doesn't fit within societal norms. Made me genuinely cry.

Barry Lyndon. Maybe not underrated, but certainly an overlooked masterpiece by stanley kubrick.

It's funny how different taste we can have. I don't like any Kubrick movie except Eyes Wide Shut.

barry is super long as well btw.

What do you not like about his films? One thing that always bugs me is that his images are all so picturesque and well-crafted that it feels like the the only to them justice is to pause at every frame and stare at it for a whole 5 minutes just to soak it all in.

i guess they're just too heavy going .. Yeah I know he was a perfectionist and wanted to speak through every image sorta way.

You shiould give werner herzog movies a try, if you're not familiar with them already. He's on the same level of mastery as kubrick but with a style that is more subtle and down to earth, if that makes sense. Also, his view of nature seems to be heavily inspired by the philosophy of arthur schopenhauer, which should give his films an extra appeal to members of this forum. My favorite ones are probably his nosfrratu adaption and aguirre, the wrath of god.

Rat Race! one of my childhood movies, it fills me with nostalgia. was the first time i saw mr. bean on screen as well.

the hostel

that one scares the shit outta me lol.

Lady Bird is my favourite film of all times. I know there is a substantial amount of us that love, but I feel like it is not as well-known and praised as it should be.

 

[ctvunny]

Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

 

[Desp]

Street Fighter (1994).

Chirin no Suzu/Ringing Bell. It's really beautiful to me and I barely see anyone talk about it.

 

[psp3000]

La Planète Sauvage/Fantastic Planet (1973)
