Extremely underrated movie.

Some of best Parkour on film. Great action

If you don’t speak French you’ll need to find one with subtitles though.

I'm not usually a fan of westerns but this struck the perfect tone for me. One of my favourite movies.

Only other western i enjoy rematching as much is unforgiven.

“Tombstone” This movie was shat on by critics but it’s the best western in my opinion. Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Doc Holiday was amazing. He should have won an Oscar that year.

Just watched both Unforgiven and Tombstone last week. Unforgiven became one of my favorite westerns after viewing. It seemed almost like a Cowboy Bebop episode rather than a Western. I didn't finish Tombstone, but I can see how it'd be a fun Western for a casual viewer. The female lead was terrible in that movie though.

High five for Second Hand Lions! Fucking love that movie and it’s family friendly.

I thought Little Monsters was kinda creepy when I was a kid but shout out to Fred Savage. I just watched The Wizard the other day by chance.

The man who came from Earth (2007)

Probably not underrated as far as critic reviews go, but literally no one has ever heard of it, other than hardcore movie buffs.

Fantastic movie.

I nominated it in the Sherdog Movie Club, it did not win.

Haven't heard it before. But is the film similar to K-PAX? If yes, I might give it a go.

Boondock saints. Story, action, comedy.

1st, everyone has different tastes so I get it.

2nd I thought this movie was trash that relied on people thinking Irish shit is cool to get by.

The action and writing is terrible. First shootout, in which the brothers who aren’t gunmen are experiencing their 1st gunfight, they somehow clear a room full of mob guys while hanging upside down from the ceiling and quickly spinning around. 30 mins later in the film they face off with the baddest motherfucker in this crime world, and although they are 25 feet away from each other in broad day light unloading a half dozen clips, no one gets a murked. Ok.

Thats part of the comedy of it

Yup everyone has their own tastes. Personally i prefer more realistic but sometimes the crazy bs stuff is fun. Appreciate your points and its nice to read rather than "I think that movies dumb so your a dumb"

Great movie. I love movies that really dive into a different culture like this and show you how things are done in their world.

Never understood the love for this movie. One of the worst movies I've ever seen I could barely stay awake to watch it.

The Long Goodbye is an interesting old, as in 70’s, private eye set in LA flick.

Character reminded me a rip van winkle,
just seems to wake up in first scene in an era he doesn’t belong.

Has a couple scenes in it with a very young Arnold! Might be his first role, I think he’s credited as Arnold Strong in it.

If you haven’t check out the documentary “Overnight” about Troy Duffy, the bartender who wrote/directed Boondocks saints, turned overnight Hollywood star, and then completely fucked it all up for himself. I don’t think he ended up making any money off from it.

I hate documentaries so I wont watch it but I did some googling on it. Pretty nuts. Apparently he had to be kicked out of the writers room the sequel.

Turbo Kid. If you're a fan of Fallout or just old school retro video gaming, you'll love this movie. It was rated pretty well but it hardly gets brought up. Wanted to go see this in theaters when it came out and I'm surprised it took me so long. Super cool indie film with some pretty cool characters.
