Who cares if this doeesn't have Jason or Leatherface or Freddy in it?! Hypnotic tv channel melts victims heads and turns them into creepy crawlies? I'm in. 4.4 on imdb.
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
There seems to be a growing appreciation for this film and the imdb score goes up every time I look at it. Probably my all-time favourite movie.
The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Bowie as a sexy, sticky, androgynous alien rock star. 6.7 on imdb..
Hero (2002)
I think everyone had overdosed on Hong Kong cinema by the time this came out and thought it was just another Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This is a much more beautiful and epic film than the aforementioned.
Imho, the peak of the Hellraiser series. The nightclub massacre alone puts this above the 5.4 it has on imdb. "Ready for your close up?"
Village of the Damned (1995)
John Carpenter does a perfect remake of a classic sci-fi in full John Carpenter style and it gets 5.6 on imdb? Pff.
Perfectly watchable and doesn't deserve to be put in the same class as 3 and revenge. It has "most" of what made the first one great. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-Shaaarkkk!
Superman III (1983)
Cyber-zombies?, Richard Pryor?, Evil drunk Superman flicking peanuts?, Computer game missile targeting?. It's probably not as good as the first two but 4.9 on imdb? Superman IV makes this film look Oscar-worthy.
Blade: Trinity (2004)
Yes, crowbarring Dracula in spoils it a bit, but this film doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
Office Space (1999)
Deserves a higher score for a perfect insight into modern office life. Also, "If I had a million dollars?".
The Hidden (1987)
Forget your Breakfast club and your Ferris Bueller, this is the best eighties film.
Melancholia (2011)
Beautiful, thought-provoking and amazingly acted portrayal of depression. My favourite Von Trier.
Never Say Never Again (1983)
Worth more than 6.2 on imdb if only for a baddie getting blown up and just leaving a pair of smoking shoes.
Starship Troopers (1997)
Name another intergalactic space-war human fascist society versus insectoids film? Brilliant. "Kiss Me Johnny".
Questions about sentience and consciousness, Spock jet-packing through madness, hot bald ladies and a crawling unstoppable and mysterious threat..
Brainstorm (1983)
Natalie Wood?! Chris Walken?! Perfect VR?! Near-death experience?! Orgasm overdosing?! Secret Government Terror Research?! 6.5 on imdb!! Wut?

List of movies where I think the IMDB rating is too harsh.
This is based on a direct comparison between mine and imdb's ratings. It does not mean that I think all these films are great!
