Peter Pan 2003
- Didn't make near what I thought it should at the box office, and there seemed to be very little promotion for the movie. I thought it was fantastic. The acting, the writing...all top notch.

Life as a House
- Hayden Christensen is so good in this film, and I don't usually go for these types of films, but it moved me.
 
The Hurricane, thought that movie was really good, i think denzal should have gotten the oscar that year instead of the next day for Training Day, and Russell should have gotten it for a Beautiful Mind instead of the Gladiator
 
Happily, I've seen half of these movies :lol: Thanks for the article! I put Sisters and Martin at the top of my Netflix queue :)
 
oh yeah totally Super Troopers, thats one of the best comedy's to come out in years, not a big blockbuster but turned out to be a lot better then some of the stuff that's been turned out in the last few years , but it was great......
 
We actually watched American History X after a teacher recommended it a few years ago (she wasn't allowed to show it, even though the whole class was old enough) and I really liked it, as far as you can like such a movie...

And Rockstar, thank you for that link, there are a lot of movies on that list you posted that I enjoyed watching, like Frail or Nosferatu the Vampyre, but others I've never heard of and I always love to find new old movies!
 
Well, hmm...:looks at DVD shelf::

-Confidence. I love this movie. It's similar to the Italian Job, the plot is a little confusing but once you watch it, you understand it. Dustin Hoffman is awesome and the rest of the performances(Rachel Weisz, Ed Burns) are memorable. Some lines just stick in your head and you find yourself laughing at the randomest times because you remember them and they're funny. :D
 
Indeed, Denzel always does a greeat job. Loved The Hurricane.


Also, Super Troopers. Funny ass ****.

I agree with the Princess Bride, that is a movie that if you've seen it, you've loved it.
 
Girl. It was so cute and so..I dunno. A good movie.

Dancer, Texas Pop. 81. Again, another cute movie that no one seems to know about.
 
Ella Enchanted was simple and sweet, and I think that that was really overlooked. It's a wonderful family movie and I think that everyone should check it out.
 
I Agree That Movie was really good I loved Sarah in it to me it was a feel good comedy that wasnt given the proper chance lol ..a Good few of Johnny Depps Old Movies were pretty overlooked to but he has done some crap no doubt lol but I absolutly love Benny and Joon and Edward Sissorhands but I would of never herad of them if it wasn't for my sister lol
 
I think American History X is often overlooked. ALOT of people have no idea what it is, when I mention it, or they say, well, I only wathced the first 5 minutes and wasn't interested. That was me actually. I watched the first few minutes and was like this is so boring. Then one night, I was so bored and popped the movie in and made myself sit through the first few minutes and by the end of the movie, I was just in shock, at how well acted and written the movie was. The movie is brutal and Edward Norton, as Derrik, is very scary, mean, cruel, sincere, remorseful and heartbreaking and probably one of the most underrated actor's, but he is terrific in this film. He was good in fight club, BUT he was wonderful in this movie and talk about a transformation, DAMN, Edward has got a rock hard body, in this movie too. Edward Furlong, dosen't need to go unnoticed either, he was great. His best movie IMHO, next to Terminator 2.
 
People don't really understand Swordfish. They see it as ridiculous, flashy and shallow. The technical stuff is laughable to some and John Travolta has his worst performance ever.

I think like you, though. This is a fun movie. No reason to step over because of its cheap "thrills". I liked it. It certainly isn't the only one.
 
I think Remember the Titans was somewhat overlooked -- it could've done for more recognition than it got, especially from the Academy and all those bastards who love nothing more than a good kissing-their-own-ass session. I loved it -- Denzel was great, the cast was great -- it was just a good, wholesome movie. :)
 
I disagree with Fight Club and Moulin Rouge. I love both of 'em, but I don't think they're overlooked.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was totally overlooked by the general population. I mean, it got rave reviews, but didn't do too well at the box office. It should have. It's freaking amazing.
