What is the most underrated Movie you've seen, that no one seems to talk about but you love?


  1. Cat's Don't Dance For being the first non-Disney animated film to win two Annie awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Individual Achievement: Music in a Feature/Home Video Production (Randy Newman), I'm genuinely surprised at how many people don't know this film exists, and when they watch it after I recommend it to them, they're just as shocked. Probably explains why it's did so poorly at the box office when it came out...still one of my favourite childhood films to this day and the soundtrack is amazing as you'd expect from Newman. EDIT: Wow! I'm surprised that this got a lot more of a response than I thought it was going to get! So glad that other people out there really enjoyed the film as much as I did! :D 'Tell Me Lies' is still one of my favourites songs in the film!

  2. **The Commitments** from 1991, it's the story of a guy in Dublin who decides to start a soul band. I remember catching it on HBO back when I was in high school. This movie is funny as hell, the cast is amazing (and almost 100% unknown actors, at least at the time), and hot damn the music is so good, this movie released three separate soundtrack albums and has been turned into a stage musical in the last couple of years. Star Trek nerds will see Colm Meaney in a whole new light (he's one of the comedic highlights of the movie), and Orphan Black fans will appreciate the film debut of Maria Doyle Kennedy (just Maria Doyle at the time). It's very close to the top of my list of favorite movies ever, and I've only ever met two other people who'd already seen it.

  3. Cannibal the Musical -made by the creators of south park- bunch of miners in the 1800's try to make it out to Colorado and get horribly lost/start eating each other...the musical. It should by rights be awful. It's wonderful. Strictly Ballroom-young upstart ballroom dancer just wants to do his own steps and express himself in the upcoming ballroom competition but the Australian ballroom establishment is having none of that, and neither is his partner, so he teams up with a novice , but spirited young woman to choreograph what's in their hearts

  4. Mirrormask. Written by Neil Gaiman. Visuals were incredible. Definitely a movie I'll have my children watching. Kind of hearkened back to the 80's era of children's fantasy films like The Neverending Story.

  5. [Secondhand Lions](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327137/) Robert Duvall, Michael cain and Hayley Joel Osment in just a fun movie that can also hit you in the feels at points.

  6. Drop Dead Gorgeous. The cast is stellar (Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy, Allison Janey, Ellen Barkin). It is so funny and you'll walk away quoting the movie for the rest of your life. "THE SWAN ATE MY BABY!"

  7. Dark City. A fantastic noir thriller with science fiction elements and only gets better the more you watch it. Still have yet to meet anyone who has seen this hidden gem of a movie.

  8. Triangle. While being a good movie, at some point you start to question what you would do... Break a cycle, or be doomed to repeat it. Also begs the question of is there free will, because how did the cycle start. Edit: seeing as this is my second highest post ever... I kind of feel like I should also pay tribute to a lesser known Bill Paxton movie called frailty

  9. The Fall

  11. Mr. Brooks - one of the best movies I have seen and I had never heard of it until a friend recommended it to us.

  12. [About Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OIFdWk83no) and [Treasure Planet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJNT7C61NrE). Most people have just never heard of these amazing movies, and it's a real shame.
