If there was a movie for the SUPER KOOL JADE CLUB then that

schizophrenicroom · 04.15.2007, 08:54 PM

there's a few floating around, but nothing official that stars more than two members.

Idiocracy with Luke Wilson went under the radar.

Bubba Hotep!!!!!

!@#$%! · 04.15.2007, 11:59 PM

hm, i've read good things about bubba ho-tep in "indie" film circles, but it didn't have mainstream success.

anything by the kuchar brothers is not only underrated, but unknown

sam fuller's movies are underrated: shock corridor, the naked kiss, the china gate, the big red one. he's really awesome, though he could be a bit... mmm... pulpish at time.

guy maddin is underrated. not only did "the saddest music in the world" hasn't got the recognition it deserves, but who has even heard of tales from the gimly hospital ???

francois ozon is underrated, perhaps because his sensibilities do not match big american markets.

hadwig and the angry inch is underrated, that movie was fucking awesome.

curse of the golden flower came & went without much fanfare yet it was visually incredible & delicious like an overripe fig.

there are tons...

luxinterior · 04.16.2007, 12:11 AM

The first time I saw Hedwig, I thought it was just all right. The second time I saw it, I enjoyed it a great deal.

I also want to contribute Dumb and Dumber to this and all lists of movies that haven't received enough praise. That movie...well, there are no words for a movie like that. On long car rides, my brothers and I play Dumb and Dumber trivia games, and try to see how obscure we can make our questions while still knowing the answers. I know more about that movie than any sane person ought to. Yes, much love for Dumb and Dumber.

!@#$%! · 04.16.2007, 12:14 AM

oh i haven't seen yet dumb and dumber but i want to

also now that you posted, it reminds me-- light sleeper is a wonderful movie nobody ever remembers.

luxinterior · 04.16.2007, 12:22 AM

Yes, Light Sleeper all the way. The performances in that movie are impeccable, but not overstated.

Dumb and Dumber is the kind of movie that I think everyone should start watching from an early age and then just continue to watch regularly throughout the duration of their life. I love hearing people quote that movie. I don't care when or how often it occurs. It is always funny. It definitely needs to be counted among all of those other misunderstood movies.
