What I dig about it:


โœ” Fantastic atmosphere. Like all Tim Burton movies, this movie is wonderfully surreal.

โœ” Great writing, with some great, memorable dialogue.

โœ” Fantastic adventure. Every kid should see this at least once. It's essentially about a kid, his favourite bike, and the adventure he goes on to retrieve it, when it's stolen. Except the "kid" is a man-child. Weird, yes, but somehow it works (at least for me).

What I dig about it:


โœ” An interesting experiment in film/sound editing, and could even be considered "artistic" - depending on who you ask. There is almost no dialog, but Waters has used snippets of pop music, and sound to sort of create the "mood" for each scene. Pretty cool.

โœ” Trashy, as the title, and director suggests.

Parents (1989)

What I dig about it:

โ–บ Surreal atmosphere. I am a sucker for movies with a surreal atmosphere, and this movie definitely has that.

โ–บ Some good cinematography.

โ–บ Great performances from the children - especially considering they are "unknowns". The boy in particular. Surprised he didn't go on to do more.

Hyperspace (1984)
Grisly Atoms's rating:
People who added this item 406 Average listal rating (295 ratings) 5.7 IMDB Rating 5.6


What I dig about it:


โœ” Solid cinematography. Nothing amazing, but there are a few scenes that are lit very nicely, I think.

โœ” Cool set design / dressing in the sawyer "lair".

โœ” Chop-top.

People who added this item 503 Average listal rating (324 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 6.8
Repo Man (1984)


What I dig about it:


โœ” Great writing.

โœ” Great soundtrack.

โœ” Punk as f---, without overdoing it. A lot of punk rock inspired movies, about punks, like to throw "punk" in your face. This movie seems to respect the subculture a bit more.

โœ” Gritty, just how I like it.

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.
