7.1

Suburbia (1984)

What I dig about it:

✔ Properly punk. Feels like the real deal, which is helped along by the sort of "docu-drama" style of it, and the fact that the "actors" were "real" punks, and not actors.

✔ Good writing.

✔ Decent, "true-to-life" drama, even if the acting is sub-par.

✔ Great soundtrack.

✔ Suburbia in turmoil. It's always good to peer under the nice glossy top coat of suburban life.

A list of some movies that I think are underrated. Some more underrated than others.

I should note that I am basing this list on the ratings on IMDb, as it's one of the most used movie sites around (Rotten Tomatoes is used more), with a public rating system. So, in other words, these are all movies that I think should have a higher rating on IMDb.

I may attempt to explain what I like about each movie at some point. I won't promise anything though.
