Underappreciated Films

[Benji]

I was just looking through my DVD collection and noticed a few films I haven't watched in ages that I absolutely adore. Films like Big Fish, Elizabethtown and About a Boy are my prime examples, they're films that I absolutely love to watch and speak volumes with me, but I rarely ever actually sit down and watch.

Does EWB have any films that it has in its collection that they find they themselves underappreciate until they rewatch them?

Big Fish is immense.

I've really been meaning to watch Into the Wild again, but it's far too long, especially when I like to watch it in bed and my bed time as it is at the moment is 4am.

Big Fish is one of my favourite films, though I seem to forget about it when talking about such subjects.

Ghost Dog is really good, I don't own it, keep forgetting to buy it, and not many other people have seen it. I really should make an effort.

Hmm About A Boy is one of my favorite Hugh Grant movies!!

Ghost Dog? The Way of the Samurai? If that is the one you mean then I am in the same boat as you Liam.

Saved is a movie that i think everyone should see at least once.

[Pesci]

About A Boy is a fucking class film and one I should really own on DVD. I always tend to forget about it when I'm naming my Top 20 or so films, but yeah, I love it. Along with Definitely Maybe and 50 First Dates it's probably my favourite romcom type thingy.

Big Fish is a great movie... I want to watch it now. I own Ghost Dog, but I don't think I got around to watching it all.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas is the one I keep meaning to watch for the 1000th time but never get to it. I love it so.

[Jimmy]

I don't think About A Boy is underappreciated. Anyone who watches that film seems to fall in love with it. I love that film sooo much.

While I am thinking about Hugh Grant films... Music and Lyrics is his absolute best and most people either dont like or dont understand it.

Not enough people know about Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and how awesome it is.

Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in Tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

It´s one of the rar good german movies. Check it out if you find a subtitled version.

/edit

The special edition DVD/bluray contains english subtitles and dubbing.Should be in the forgin section of your video lending place thing.

Someone said Into the Wild. Totally agree, I saw that movie on a whim and it totally blew me away. Really made me sit down and think about life and what I actually want out of it.

This.

If you haven't seen 'UHF' yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. The movie is criminally underrated.

Forth'ed.

Watched it the other month. It reinforced my love for Hoffman and made me fall in love with Ethan Hawke. Everyone should search out that film.

According to a poll I saw the other day, Equilibrium, with Christian Bale, is very underrated. Is it worth a watch? The trailer looked pretty kick ass.

[TKz]

Music and Lyrics is quality. I love that film.

[Benji]

I said I wasn't gonna' lose my head and then POP (pop) goes my heart!

I'd forgotten that film. Legendary.

[Topik]

looking through the movies i own I would say Candy, The Whackness, and CRASH
