I loved Jersey Girl with Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler. It got horrible reviews and made very middle money, but I think it's a really sweet film with good morals. Also, A Lot Like Love with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. I don't remember it being a big hit in theaters but I absolutely loved it when I rented it!

The Chumscrubber - It got not so good reviews...Alot of people said it was just another American Beauty kind of movie, but I really liked it, except the part where the kid gets hit by the car...that was cheesey.

The Beach - I really loved this movie. I loved the book too, and usually you don't love both. I don't know why it wasn't more noticed/reviewed better, but I thought it was really good. Not award winning, sure, but still good.

For me, it's Woody Allen's SLEEPER.

what a masterpiece. I saw that movie when I was 12 and it made me want to make movies.

A clarinet player who also runs a health food store is frozen and brought back in the future by anti-government radicals in order to assist them in their attempts to overthrow an oppressive government. When he goes off on his own, he begins to explore this brave new world that has Orgasmatron booths to replace sex and confessional robots.

Watch the movie and see how incredibly prophetic it was. In the movie, everybody is happy (as on prozac?) , the president is nothing but a cloned nose and a carefully controlled image (sounds familiar?) , and everybody is filed, except for Miles Monroe (Woody), and I could go on...

So funny, so brilliant... This film should be studied in film schools !

Luna Schlosser: Oh, I see. You don't believe in science, and you also don't believe that political systems work, and you don't believe in God, huh?
Miles Monroe: Right.
Luna Schlosser: So then, what do you believe in?
Miles Monroe: Sex and death - two things that come once in a lifetime... but at least after death, you're not nauseous.

What 's your underrated movie of all time ?

Sleeper! Great call. I worshiped that movie when I was little it made me cry laughing, and it still holds up. As much as I love Woody I'm going to go completely low bro here and turn the tables, I found a guilty pleasure called "Step Up" the dancing is great in it! Normally I wouldn't even look in a movie like this direction, but as a result I'm psyched for this second one coming out. This dude has moves...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPj1aa7AR94

Frankenheimers "Seconds" with Rock Hudson is extremely underrated.

For me it has to be Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (don't laugh)

That movie is just so much fun and one hell of a post-apocalyptic action movie.

I think Summertime from 1955 is an underrated film. Sweet, yet quite a sad film about love.

Good to hear that about The Chumscrubber, just bought that a few weeks ago, so should be watching it soon. It has a gorgeous dvd cover.

I also enjoyed The Beach, as well as the book(prefer the book obviously), only thing I couldn't stand in it was the bloody awful video game sequence.
