I absolutely loved "Clue" as a kid, it was wonderful to have three possible endings to choose from, and the zany performances from the cast also helped make it memorable.
I don't know about that, there was "Clue" based on that board game which was basically the original "Among Us", and then there was "Without A Clue", the comedy movie about Sherlock Holmes being an idiot and Watson being the real brains of the operation. Someone can't mention the movie Clue without me thinking about Without A Clue, which was a better film.
10. Good Time (2017) 9. The Birdcage (1996) 8. Locke (2013) 7. Dan in Real Life (2007) 6. Speak (2004) 5. Gattaca (1997) 4. Bronson (2008) 3. How Green was my Valley (1941) 2. 99 Homes (2014) 1. Clue (1985) In a World… (2013) Stardust (2007) 50/50 (2011) The Trip (2010) The Crying Game (1992)
They Live should get more appreciation. The film's message about how commercialism and greed is used by behind the scene folks to control the population resonates stronger today than when it was first released.
@@jenewok I'd read somewhere that alleyway fight scene between Roddy Piper & Keith David has the longest duration of any fight scene, in _all_ of film history. There are at least four films on this list I've not seen (yet), but all of the films (except those four, of course) are excellent. I hadn't expected Locke to be as riveting as it was, and Good Time was so very incredible I've gone from referring to Robert Pattinson as "...that shiny neck nibbler that stalks a teenage girl" to "...that awesome actor from___".
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is easily the most underappreciated comedy of all time. It never gets talked about among the greatest comedies of all time or anywhere near it but it's EASILY in my top 3.
hater: you think you are a good actor? pattinson: i am a good actor! it wasn't my fault that i had to play the worst vampire in history because of the rent.
@@waltersibert2252 if you like science fiction/ horror, you should check out High Life. Pattinson is so good in it. Wild, artsy, thought provoking movie which stays with you
Great to see The Birdcage getting a mention! I think Copycat (1995) is hugely under appreciated - a fantastic serial killer flick whose only mistake was to be released mere weeks after Se7en (1995), which left it largely forgotten in amongst the hype Fincher’s movie was getting that summer
Clue has been my favourite movie ever since I was a kid. I remember finding it on VHS at Rogers Video to rent when I was like 8. It always seemed like no one even knew there was a Clue movie and everyone I showed it to loved it. Glad it’s at the top of this list since it deserves to be there for sure.
Stranger Than Fiction: Wonderful ensemble anchored by the surprising Will Ferrell in a much more nuanced performance than I had thought him capable of.
The Birdcage is one of my all time favorite movies. Nathan Lane and Robin Williams together are just perfection and Hank Azaria as the maid/house boy completes the comedy trifecta. "I PEIRCED THE TOAST!!!"
@@TheLauren800 Absolutely Hank Azaria!! He was brilliant in this movie. The accent alone deserves an Oscar. I'll hand it to Nathan too for being the only person who got ever a script that allowed him be more over-the-top than Robin in a film. And then he nailed it! Of course Robin was brilliant as well, but we all are spoiled enough to expect that.
Honestly, it’s cool to see Clue be number one in a WatchMojo list. I love the mystery and characters, even little bits of funny moments. You can’t go wrong with Tim Curry
I have now seen every Tom Hardy film, and they are _all_ underappreciated, imho. Incredible actor. A Life Backwards is also 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - and it also stars -Benadryl Lumberjack- my bad, Benedict Cumberbatch.
"How Green Was My Valley" is one of my all time favorite movies. I did a happy dance when it was included on this list! "The Birdcage" is one of those movies I always end up showing to friends, and they inevitably fall in love with it. Pure gold.
I've _loved_ this film since I saw it several years ago.. and then I rewatched it with my husband (upon my insistence -he doesn't like watching something if I've already seen it, but I tricked him into thinking that I'd not watched it before 😏). The creature design was incredible.. the entire film is solid proof that outside-the-box thinking is still possible.
I wanna add Danny Collins to this list, one of Al Pacino's most underrated performance. It's a low key performance from him as an aging rock star and he truly knocked it outta the park
Kristen Stewart was flawlessly terrific in Speak. If you haven't seen Speak, I strongly recommend you see that movie. It shows that Kristen can be competent if she's given the right script to work with
I remember having to watch the movie in tenth grade after we read the book. Everybody in the class had seen the movie previously, and I loved the movie
@@vg4life yeah that's the point. It supposed to make you uncomfortable because Kristen's character is a victim of a sexual assult, you watch on her point of view
With Honors (Brendan Fraser, Joe Pesci, Moira Kelly and Patrick Dempsey) should most definitely be on this list. I find it kind of sad how many people have never heard of or seen it. I consider it a life-changing film and Pesci's speech in the classroom at Harvard is magnificent. If you've never seen it, look it up now.
I agree 100%. Pesci is always praised for Goodfellas, Casino, Home Alone, etc., and rightfully so, but he gave an Oscar worthy performance in With Honors, and it also shows that there was more to Brendan Frasier than the Mummy films👍
With Honors is an incredible flick. I also loved that it was one of those flicks that really set Joe Pesci apart from his usual wiseguy, gangster type characters and allowed him to show off his acting and comedy chops. Excellent flick though,...... I had the biggest crush on Moira Kelly, too... just saying. lol
50/50 is a quality dark comedy about a man coming to terms with cancer. Great performances from JGL Seth Rogan and Anna Kendrick. Its both funny and dark at times but movie has a lot of heart. Highly recommend
Birdcage is talked about an intense amount, at least here in Greenville SC. It's spoken of and so well known that it's crazy. Dan in real life is DESTROYED by Dane Cook. He ruins the whole....everything he ever touches. He even made me hate Jessica Alba and that's not fair at all.
@@rig-zag I realize you say that in past tense. I get it. It's ok brother/sister. You're safe here. Safe from Dane Cook lol. It's no surprise he just, disappeared is it? 😉
I love clue! I grew up watching it as a kid. And every time I tried to talk about it no one knew what I was talking about. It’s made me so happy to see the internet finally catching up to how awesome this movie is. I also audibly cheered when you said it was number one. Hahaha.
"Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing..." I actually shouted "Yes!" when Clue was named #1 on this list! A great movie. Humerous, silly, atmospheric, and a fun who-dun-it. Although, let's be real. Who's trying to figure out who killed Mr. Boddy when you have an assemble cast like this making you laugh at every turn? :D
Seeing Dan in Real Life, The Birdcage, and Clue on this list makes me so happy 😊 I have loved all three of those movies since the first time I saw them!!
Oh wow! Clue is so underrated, I wasn’t even expecting it in this list and yet here we are at # 1. Fuck yeah! That movie is awesome. Saw it multiple times as a kid and to this day I still quote the Hell out of this movie. So many great lines!
Gattaca is a sci-fi masterpiece. Beautifully shot, excellent music score, terrific sets, wonderfully acted, with an intelligent script as well. The plot is quite thought provoking and ahead of its time. I wish more people had seen this film. The film was recently released on 4k Blu-Ray and looks stunning.
Gattaca is a slog. It's a rehash of ideas over 50 years old with no hint of originality. It's clear none of the cast wanted to be there; they all phoned in their performances. I can't believe anyone saw this film after its opening weekend, the word of mouth should have ended it. I can't believe I wasted the 30 seconds typing this comment over that horrendous, steaming pile of excrement.
These are all some of my favorite movies. Clue is in my top ten. I know most of the lines and this was the film that introduced me to Tim Curry. People don't talk about how important Speak is. The book was so good and that made me a Kristen Stewart fan from the beginning. Hank Azaria is also amazing in The Birdcage. Gattaca is a classic! Stardust is one of my go to movies to just put on in the background. Charlie Cox is so charming. And lastly, to whoever wrote this, I appreciate that you recognize how snacking Steve Coogan is.
“The Birdcage” and “50/50” are some of my favorites! But 2 that need attention are “The Nice Guys” with Ryan Gosling & Russell Crowe and “Noise’s Off” with Carol Burnett, John Ritter, Christopher Reeve and so so many more. Also, “My Blue Heaven” & “My Cousin Vinny” are fabulous and not talked about often enough!
@@Gettingoffthestrugglebus Lucky you! I'm in Australia. The closest we got to it was a play called "The Play Where Everything Goes Wrong." Worth seeing if it comes your way.
I know it was a joke, but you really had me curious to hear what good points you were about to make for why Cats should be considered underrated. That left me feeling a strange mixture of let down & great pleasure when you announced Clue as the true #1 underrated film. Loved that movie, when I was a child. Tim Currie is just the best in everything he's in.
Dick should be on this list. It's so surprising and amazing to see Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams in a movie together and their chemistry was truly beautiful
For me definetly sunshine... The way they portrayed all emotions by which explained different situation in space was mindblowing. Character development, direction, music, just everything is great even when in the end it gets more of an artistic feel...
Oh wow, this is the first time I've ever heard someone mention 99 Homes. Great film. Highly recommended for anyone with a passing interest in the housing crisis or one of Michael Shannon's best performances. Great picks in general.
Clue is one of my favorite movies. Another I would recommend that seems to be completely overlooked is Noises Off. It also has an all-star cast, slapstick physical humor, and fast paced witty dialogue.
Only WatchMojo would consider a list of critically acclaimed films as "underappreciated".... I mean, who writes this crap? The Birdcage won a ton of awards, and did very well at the box office. Not unlike most of the films on this list.
The Crying Game is very good, though portraying the protagonist in a positive light was a mistake that prevented it from being financially successful in the UK.
I don’t know all these movies but I have seen Clue and StarDust when I was a kid. I do remember my mom telling me when I was a baby, I slept through The Crying Game
Anytime the “underappreciated movie” conversation comes up, I always say Dan in Real Life. An incredible film that little-to-no people have seen or no about, besides the poster.
It was all over in 2007 tf you talking about. If anything it was overrated then. Very disappointing movie especially when you realize it was Steve carrell not even 2 years after 40YOV
I remember watching Clue on Comedy Central allllll the time. It was one of my fav movies as a Kid bc it offered 3 endings and it was hilarious...it has been several years since I sat down and actually watched it, but that changed about a minute after I finished this video lol
I love Clue!! My sister and I used to watch this endlessly as kids and loved it with all the slapstick and one liners. As an adult I still love it for those reasons but as an adult, and History teacher, I love it for the McCarthyist backdrop. One of the best films ever made, it'll always have a nostalgic place in my heart.
That twist at the end got me 😂 but good list! Would’ve like to see Margin Call on there but maybe it’s too much of a similar feel to 99 Homes (which I’m gonna check out after typing this)
Dan In Real Life was my first time ever seeing Steve Carrel and I fell in love with his acting then. His line about the corn made me laugh so hard. I didn't discover the Office until years later and it surprised the hell out of me haha. Amazing actor
Number 1... CATS... Congrats WatchMojo. You made me question my sanity for a few seconds there. Guaranteed I wasn't the only one asking themselves in that moment "It was actually good?! What did I miss?! What's wrong with my brain?!"
the film shot caller (2017) starring nikolaj coster-waldau is so underrated. how he can go from his role in Game of Thrones to a crime/drama film and play both parts so well is pretty impressive.
I never thought Pattinson was a bad actor by any means. He was pretty good in Harry Potter and Remember Me early on. Then I saw Good Time and realized this guy is fucking phenomenal! Now one of my favorite actors
It was critically well received at its release, but I honestly feel like the only person I know that really loved Into The Wild. Maybe something about that personal journey of discovering self and purpose struck me as a teenager in a complicated household, but the acting was great, the cinematography was incredible, and I still regularly play songs that Eddie Vedder wrote for the soundtrack.
I just came here to say that the Birdcage was utter genius and I don’t comprehend why there’s a pic of it as the cover photo for “underrated films”. Who hasn’t watched it?!
What makes Birdcage so impressive is that, on paper it shouldn't hold up at all. It's a gauche comedy that use gay and trans people to set up jokes. And yet it still works, because the jokes don't feel disrespectful, and the plot resolves and an honest and affirming way. I hope to god they never remake it though

Same here but the music gave me nightmares when I was a kid.

I saw that film in the 80s and to this day I still recall the tapdancing girl at the front door: "I am a singing telegram!" BANG!

I wish I could like this comment twice.
Especially with the way the world is now, compared to the way it was when the film was made.
John Carpenter basically owned the 70s and 80s.
The fight scene in that movie alone makes it worth watching!
@@jenewok I'd read somewhere that alleyway fight scene between Roddy Piper & Keith David has the longest duration of any fight scene, in _all_ of film history.

It's great seeing Clue getting some recognition. That movie is so over the top and ridiculous it's hard not to love it.
I've never seen that movie even though I loved playing the board game when I was kid but u guys got me wanting to check it out for sure

Yes!!! It’s laugh out loud funny the whole time.
@@cheesecake134 have you seen the extended cut on DVD?? It's like 40 minutes longer and every second of it is hysterical
@@costincommamike Yes it’s incredible!!!
I don't know about all time great, but I would absolutely argue for it being one of the best parody/satire movies ever.
Good Times was the film that finally made me realize how good Robert Pattinson as an actor
Me too man 👍
Yeahhhhhh
He almost like Kurt Cobain in that film
hater: you think you are a good actor?
pattinson: i am a good actor! it wasn't my fault that i had to play the worst vampire in history because of the rent.
Yes, that and The Lighthouse.
"Good Time" was absolutely amazing. "High Life" (also starring Pattinson) is also a must-watch sci-fi film that no one ever talks about.
High Life?
I think I'll give "high life" a shot. It's also on showtime if I remember correctly
@@waltersibert2252 if you like science fiction/ horror, you should check out High Life. Pattinson is so good in it. Wild, artsy, thought provoking movie which stays with you

Copycat & Seven are great.
The Birdcage is a great flick.

My whole family quotes this movie almost daily. And I always say “shreemps” now instead of just shrimp XD
@@raev87 “f&$k the shrimp! “

Attack the Block!! That’s a movie I would’ve been obsessed over as a kid. John Boyega is a strong character too. Love this flick!!
I've _loved_ this film since I saw it several years ago.. and then I rewatched it with my husband (upon my insistence -he doesn't like watching something if I've already seen it, but I tricked him into thinking that I'd not watched it before 😏).
The creature design was incredible.. the entire film is solid proof that outside-the-box thinking is still possible.
I LOVE the Birdcage - I never get tired of it and it always makes me laugh
I wanna add Danny Collins to this list, one of Al Pacino's most underrated performance. It's a low key performance from him as an aging rock star and he truly knocked it outta the park

Movie is too triggering
@@vg4life yeah that's the point. It supposed to make you uncomfortable because Kristen's character is a victim of a sexual assult, you watch on her point of view
The Birdcage is my favorite movie EVER. I probably have the whole thing memorized and it still makes me laugh SOOOO hard
“The Birdcage” is my favorite comedy of all time and I quote it almost daily.
With Honors (Brendan Fraser, Joe Pesci, Moira Kelly and Patrick Dempsey) should most definitely be on this list. I find it kind of sad how many people have never heard of or seen it. I consider it a life-changing film and Pesci's speech in the classroom at Harvard is magnificent. If you've never seen it, look it up now.
Brendan Fraser was wonderful in School Ties too.
I agree 100%. Pesci is always praised for Goodfellas, Casino, Home Alone, etc., and rightfully so, but he gave an Oscar worthy performance in With Honors, and it also shows that there was more to Brendan Frasier than the Mummy films👍
I love this movie!!! Fraser & Pesci are amazing with a dose of early Patrick Dempsey!
With Honors is an incredible flick. I also loved that it was one of those flicks that really set Joe Pesci apart from his usual wiseguy, gangster type characters and allowed him to show off his acting and comedy chops. Excellent flick though,...... I had the biggest crush on Moira Kelly, too... just saying. lol
I loved With Honors and agree
50/50 is a quality dark comedy about a man coming to terms with cancer. Great performances from JGL Seth Rogan and Anna Kendrick. Its both funny and dark at times but movie has a lot of heart. Highly recommend
Also a true story which is both upsetting and uplifting at once!
Birdcage is talked about an intense amount, at least here in Greenville SC. It's spoken of and so well known that it's crazy. Dan in real life is DESTROYED by Dane Cook. He ruins the whole....everything he ever touches. He even made me hate Jessica Alba and that's not fair at all.
wait what's wrong with Dane Cook?
I’m shocked Birdcage is on here.
Lane was doing Timon & Pumbaa vids the same year.
I loved Dane Cook so much in the early 2000s I still forced myself to enjoy everything he put out somehow.
@@rig-zag I realize you say that in past tense. I get it. It's ok brother/sister. You're safe here. Safe from Dane Cook lol. It's no surprise he just, disappeared is it? 😉
Two of my favorite movies I feel are very underappreciated: Leaving Las Vegas (1995) and Phone Booth (2002).
+10 for mentioning "How Green Was My Valley." It may not have been as great as "Kane," but it deserves to be considered a classic.
I love clue! I grew up watching it as a kid. And every time I tried to talk about it no one knew what I was talking about. It’s made me so happy to see the internet finally catching up to how awesome this movie is. I also audibly cheered when you said it was number one. Hahaha.
Bronson was the first movie I saw with Tom Hardy. Definitely a good first impression

Who's trying to figure out who killed Mr. Boddy when you have an assemble cast like this making you laugh at every turn? :D
Heck, I'll murder Mr. Body again _myself_ just to see this cast reassemble.
Seeing Dan in Real Life, The Birdcage, and Clue on this list makes me so happy 😊 I have loved all three of those movies since the first time I saw them!!
I think "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar" was highly underrated and definitely needs more love!
_YES!_
I _lovelovelove_ this film.. so underappreciated.
Oh wow! Clue is so underrated, I wasn’t even expecting it in this list and yet here we are at # 1. Fuck yeah! That movie is awesome. Saw it multiple times as a kid and to this day I still quote the Hell out of this movie. So many great lines!
I'm so glad that Gattaca got a mention, but I do strongly think that A Knight's Tale should be on here.
Agreed
Also Black Knight! Lol
Gattaca is a sci-fi masterpiece. Beautifully shot, excellent music score, terrific sets, wonderfully acted, with an intelligent script as well.

Dan Hedeya as Nixon.
For me definetly sunshine... The way they portrayed all emotions by which explained different situation in space was mindblowing. Character development, direction, music, just everything is great even when in the end it gets more of an artistic feel...
Nobody ever talks about Minority Report and that movie was brilliant
Gattaca and Dark City are masterpieces
Oh wow, this is the first time I've ever heard someone mention 99 Homes. Great film. Highly recommended for anyone with a passing interest in the housing crisis or one of Michael Shannon's best performances. Great picks in general.
I gotta say this is one of your best lists ever, with THREE Welsh references....which is a record in itself. Clue as number one...perfect.
Lars and the Real Girl has always been my #1 underrated/underappreciated films.
Good Times a masterpiece and so is Bronson, if you haven’t seen them yet you are doing yourself a disservice, please watch both films 🙏
One of my picks is Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. SUCH a good film, with an incredible story. Forest Whitaker is mesmerizing in it.
Good one
its on criterion right now!
People think it's so cool to pretend ghost dog was remotely entertaining
Am I the only one around here that remembers The Fifth Element?!?
Multi pass
My #1: Unbreakable (2000)
Easily one of the most brilliant, original, and unique superhero films ever made.
@Ajay Hell yes!!
HUGE THANKS for including GATTACA. An absolute masterpiece with so much meaning and sybolims ❤️ No more to say. Period.
Absolutely LOVE that hysterical “Cats” plug at the end…I completely fell for it! Cheers Rebecca and WatchMojo…
Nice list. Btw, you got me with "Cats", well played.
“The Birdcage” is a great movie and incredibly complex.
Clue is one of my favorite movies. Another I would recommend that seems to be completely overlooked is Noises Off. It also has an all-star cast, slapstick physical humor, and fast paced witty dialogue.

This absolutely needed to be a top 20 list! I was waiting for Stranger Than Fiction to show up...such a great movue!
The Crying Game is very good, though portraying the protagonist in a positive light was a mistake that prevented it from being financially successful in the UK.
Everyone should watch Gattaca. The most inspiratuonal movie ever.
Also my pick is Manhunter by Michael Mann. True masterpiece.
I love Clue, great mention here. I would add The Invitation (2015) for sure: too many people haven't seen or heard of it.
Great call on Clue! Brilliant and hilarious!
I love "The Birdcage"
Think it is one of Robin Williams greatest performances
Chef is one of my favourite films and so inspirational!
Shoutout to my Biotechnology teacher for putting on Gattaca in class one day. Underrated Masterpiece.
I don’t know all these movies but I have seen Clue and StarDust when I was a kid. I do remember my mom telling me when I was a baby, I slept through The Crying Game
My mom couldn’t find a babysitter so, she took me to her date and was happy I slept through it
Yessss The Birdcage is amazing and deserves more love!
Glad you mentioned Stardust, that's probably my most favourite movie ever, such an underrated Matthew Vaughn!
Outstanding choice for number 1.!! Hard to believe a movie based off of a board game could be this good!
Anytime the “underappreciated movie” conversation comes up, I always say Dan in Real Life. An incredible film that little-to-no people have seen or no about, besides the poster.
It was all over in 2007 tf you talking about. If anything it was overrated then. Very disappointing movie especially when you realize it was Steve carrell not even 2 years after 40YOV
I remember watching Clue on Comedy Central allllll the time. It was one of my fav movies as a Kid bc it offered 3 endings and it was hilarious...it has been several years since I sat down and actually watched it, but that changed about a minute after I finished this video lol
thank you for showing love to Stardust - such a good film with an amazing cast! RDN as a pirate!
Zathura: A Space Adventure, Attack the Block, Everything Must Go, Trick 'r Treat, and Lake Mungo are my picks.
Zathura sh''t but the rest back completely g
Birdcage and Clue are in my top 10 of all time
I love Clue!! My sister and I used to watch this endlessly as kids and loved it with all the slapstick and one liners. As an adult I still love it for those reasons but as an adult, and History teacher, I love it for the McCarthyist backdrop. One of the best films ever made, it'll always have a nostalgic place in my heart.
That twist at the end got me 😂 but good list! Would’ve like to see Margin Call on there but maybe it’s too much of a similar feel to 99 Homes (which I’m gonna check out after typing this)
Gattica is a top 10 favorite of mine. Such perfect sci-fi
Sunshine. Fantastic movie. Well cast, great story, visually stunning. I hardly have known anyone who has seen it without recommending it.
Very few of this channel's viewers are going to be keen on an over-awarded 1941 film that's set in the 19th c.
Really good list. Would've called out 'Predestination' for a nod or even put on this list.
THANK YOU!!!! Clue is timeless and near perfect
Dan In Real Life was my first time ever seeing Steve Carrel and I fell in love with his acting then. His line about the corn made me laugh so hard. I didn't discover the Office until years later and it surprised the hell out of me haha. Amazing actor
Good one
Good laughs and good players in Clue and I can't stop watching it.👍😃
You should have made different versions of this list from different decades.
One underappreciated movie I'd never thought I like is The Descendants (George Clooney, Shaliene Woodley). Worth the watch if you get a chance!
Amazing choice! This was heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time!
Number 1... CATS... Congrats WatchMojo. You made me question my sanity for a few seconds there. Guaranteed I wasn't the only one asking themselves in that moment "It was actually good?! What did I miss?! What's wrong with my brain?!"
the film shot caller (2017) starring nikolaj coster-waldau is so underrated. how he can go from his role in Game of Thrones to a crime/drama film and play both parts so well is pretty impressive.
I watched that movie a few months ago. It's a great crime drama.
Loved shot caller. If you like that film you should check out Felon (2008). Very similar plot line
Gangster ass film, no doubt. Seen it 3 times
I never thought Pattinson was a bad actor by any means. He was pretty good in Harry Potter and Remember Me early on.
Then I saw Good Time and realized this guy is fucking phenomenal! Now one of my favorite actors
It was critically well received at its release, but I honestly feel like the only person I know that really loved Into The Wild. Maybe something about that personal journey of discovering self and purpose struck me as a teenager in a complicated household, but the acting was great, the cinematography was incredible, and I still regularly play songs that Eddie Vedder wrote for the soundtrack.
The Birdcage is one fantastic movie. Every one in it is amazing
You almost had me at Cats but I knew you were joking
There are tons of movies that are under appreciated. It's just hard to choose.
13:28 You made me spat out the soda I was drinking😅🤣
I LOVED "The Bird Cage"!
Dark City is criminally underrated and one of my favorite movies.
A few of my faves made it on here .....and CLUE!!! Top 5 for me since childhood , seen it like hundreds of times and I never get sick of it
I just came here to say that the Birdcage was utter genius and I don’t comprehend why there’s a pic of it as the cover photo for “underrated films”. Who hasn’t watched it?!
I haven't.
Always thought it looked boring and stupid.
But all the comments here... Guess I'll give it a look see
@@LN-Lifer oh man. Yeah, give it a try. Much better than any of the garbage they’ve been popping off the last few years for sure.
Gattaca is a great movie and Clue is one of my favorite movies of all time
"Speak" is such an important movie. It should be mandatory viewing for all high school freshman.
You really got me with Cats 🤣🤣🤣
What makes Birdcage so impressive is that, on paper it shouldn't hold up at all. It's a gauche comedy that use gay and trans people to set up jokes. And yet it still works, because the jokes don't feel disrespectful, and the plot resolves and an honest and affirming way. I hope to god they never remake it though
It already is a remake, and it's not as good as the original
I absolutely love clue! I've watched it like 4 times this month. Chefs kiss
