10 Underrated Movies
I love watching movies. In fact, I can actually veg out in front of the TV (and DVD player) all day (with bathroom breaks and corn chip runs in between).
So here’s, maybe, a partial list of underrated movies I’ve seen. Like wholesale clothing, my list could fill up a whole consignment store in a minute. But, let’s just save those for another day. Shall we?
1. Starship Troopers. My friends and I saw this for lack of anything else to see. But I was actually surprised at how very entertaining it was. (And Denise Richards wasn’t so annoying back then, too.)
2. Before Sunrise. I’m sure Toni would agree with me. :)
3. All of M. Knight Shyamalan’s Movies. Which includes, Unbreakable, The Village, Signs, and The Happening. I can’t wait for The Last Airbender! I’m actually watching the Avatar series in preparation, as we speak! (Can you tell, I’m a fan? :D)
4. Cast Away. It might be a little long, and it might be a blatant ode to Fedex, but Tom Hanks was really great in this. I have never looked at a volleyball the same way. :)
5. Reign Over Me and Punch-Drunk Love. Proof that Adam Sandler is not just a comedian.
6. The Doors. Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, the songs, the cinematography. I heart this.
7. Sliding Doors. Speaking of doors, hehe! Parallel worlds and fate. I’m a sucker for movies about that, but this one I love most of all.
8. Kingdom of Heaven. I just saw this recently on DVD and, my, how yummy Orlando Bloom is.
9. Elizabethtown. And speaking of Orlando Bloom, this movie is so light and touching, and the fact that it was shot mere miles from our erstwhile home makes it a favorite of mine. :)
10. The Princess Bride. I know for a fact that this didn’t do well in theaters. But, since then, it has had some sort of cult following (which it so rightly deserves). I loved Cary Elwes in this!
See, there’s more that ten up there, hehe! Anyway, what’s in your underrated movie list? :)
