All Genre Underrated Films

Amazing. I can't say enough about this film. Unfortunately was a box office flop. Probably due to the fact it was released a month after Star Wars. William Friedkin considers this his finest film, and I think he might be right.

My favorite war film. Oddly enough like Sorcerer this was also killed by Star Wars in 1977. When critics talk about Peckinpah they gloss over Cross of Iron which irritates me because I think it's his best film.

I just found out today they are remaking this with Will Smith... The guy who wrote Men in Black is writing the script... They're going to butcher a masterpiece.

Cannon is known for a lot of ultra violent action films, but this is actually a well done action/suspense film. Another gem lost in time.

A fantastic German war drama depicting the grueling conditions of German soldiers during the battle of Stalingrad.

A very brutal film for it's time. It demonstrates how a great film can be made on a shoestring budget.

Overshadowed by Disney animated films. The Brave Little Toaster was a favorite of mine as a kid.

Great Australian action thriller starring John Denver's second wife.

No relation to the Bruce Willis film of the same name. When an old mans dog is killed by some juvenile delinquents, he issues some street justice and the situation snowballs out of control.

A fantastic Hammer film about a cruise ship that gets trapped in some seaweed. If you don't like sea monsters, pirates, or cultists, don't watch this film. There is an episode of Duck Tales titled "Bermuda Triangle Tangle" that has a near identical plot believe it or not.

It's a shame this film performed so poorly at the box office. I would have really liked to see the two sequels Alex Garland had planned for this.

One of the nails in the coffin of Tobe Hooper's career as a director. These energy sucking space vampires sure do beat the pants off the vampire movies Hollywood has been putting out recently.

The timeless tale of bad guys kill good guys family, good guy gets revenge.

Never turn James Spader down for a date.

George C. Scott's daughter goes missing and later turns up in a porno. Scott delves into the seedy porn industry underworld to find her.

Just create your own science project. Don't go to an old air force junkyard, find a piece of alien technology and turn it in as your science project. Next thing you know cyborgs, dinosaurs, and Viet Cong are running all over your high school.

A documentary. One of the most controversial films of all time. It's accused of being racist and of having some scenes staged. It documents the decolonization of Africa by Europeans and the chaos that ensues. Not for the faint of heart. It contains scenes of animal torture, and human genocide, among countless other horrific events. The directors claim it's all authentic footage. It looks real to me. The Zanzibar genocide footage is certified authentic, but some critics accuse the filmmakers of staging some scenes.

Chronicles the rise of Genghis Khan with some historical liberties taken.

A meteor shower makes everyone on earth who viewed it blind. The meteors bring plant monsters to earth, and only the few people that still have their vision can stop them. I think M. Night Shyamalan ripped the ending off of The Day of the Triffids novel or movie for "Signs".

Extremely weird sci-fi comedy.

A very good and overlooked prison film.

Very unrealistic, but if you can suspend disbelief for two hours you'll be entertained.
