Underrated/cult movies?

[BUDFORCE]

Something I was thinking about.

There are tons of great movies out there, for example I'm pretty locked in my all time favourite is Terminator 2. Pretty close Aliens, maybe Top Gun, but these are all huge Hollywood movies and all popular.

I'm wondering about that not so obvious ones. Now, doesn't have to be completely obscure either.

A good example of the type of movie, for me is Sunshine (2007).

I seen it 3 or 4 times over the years, the story is predictable, and not that much really happens, but each time I think what a great movie.

Tremors

Haha yea, great movie.

Weirdly was looking at this on Rotten Tomatos earlier as it popped up on one of thoses dodgy sites im not allowed to mention here and noticed it only had a 31% rating.

Vaguely remember some iffy reviews on release, but it scared the poo out of me. Saw it in the cinema and nearly flew out the seat at the bang as Sam Neil opens the window shutter in the space station at the very start of the film.

Event Horizon is a solid choice


See, I don't actually rate the movie, but..... I understand how you could get into it, same as if someone said they didn't really get Sunshine, I could completely understand that.

Big Trouble in Little China surely needs to be in this thread.

I wouldn't say The Warriors as underrated, its considered a classic.

Never seen it.

But I will watch it soon.

I wasn't about to start calling people out but yes some of the titles above I'd say are quite popular well known movies.

But hey there are no fixed rules, it's all good.

Demolition man I watched this recently with a modern perspective and found it fairly close to certain things going on in the world.

It gets so many things right doesn't it?

Turbo Kid (2015)

Always amuses me. Proper low budget film.

Oh yea how did I miss this post in this thread, I've seen this several times bloody brilliant.

Always classed Equilibrium with the crazy (at the time) gun fights as a cult classic.

Good shout actually.

Really good movie in my opinion never got the recognition I think it deserved.

Has anyone said pitch black?
Thought it was pretty good

Yeaaaaaaaaaaa.

Good shout.


Pitch black is a fantastic movie, I love how they do the lighting the whole way through, very well directed.
