Mr. Majestyk underrated. Charles Bronson was in many good movies

[tommir99]

The early Columbos were excellent

Mr. Majestyk underrated. Charles Bronson was in many good movies

He was good and he actually fought in WW2 unlike John Wayne

I like the scene in True Romance too....."We got us a MFing Charley Bronson? Mr Majestyk" 3:38

I'm planning on seeing Stillwater next week.
I'm not a big Damon fan but I'm looking forward to this movie.

Have to check that one; there seems to be several good actors in it. Usually I don't much watch newer movies but this one from 1993 is probably still okay. The quality of the Hollywood movies started to decline somewhere around that time. I think political correctness had something to do with it.

White chicks (imdb 5.6) and the hot chick (5.5) are both underrated. Both from the early 2000, but was lmao a few times. Quite low imdb ratings considering how good the movies were

I don't think there's many or is there? The ones that come to mind are from the 90's (dumb and dumber one of the classics)

Both "Clerks" (if you ask me) were the last of the great comedies.
You can throw in "The Hangover" and "Anchorman" too.
That's about it.

saving private ryan is overrated

Hmm, if Slater, Arquette, Hopper, Kilmer, Oldman, Pitt, Walken, Pinchot, Jackson, Rapaport, Rubinek, Gandolfini, Penn and Sizemore mean several then yeah, there are *several* good actors in this.

It's probably Tarantino's best script and likely much better since he didn't direct it ( Tony Scott directed, he also did Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, Days of Thunder, Last Boy Scout, Crimson Tide)


The words 'political correctness' will never cross your mind when you watch this. Worth watching just for the Hopper/Walken trailer scene and the Slater/Oldman club scene

For reasons unknown I've never seen Black Hat (I've heard it was solid too from multiple sources) , I have Peacock, my wife is a pop culture princess, we pretty much have everything.
I'm going to have to check it out.

And yeah, True Romance was great,
Oldman is so underrated it's almost criminal.

Only thing Tarantino did better was Pulp Fiction.
I loved Kill Bill too, True Romance was better.

Ever see True Lies?
It's more of a satire than a comedy, but that's another one didn't get enough credit.

Blade...most underrated Marvel movie ever....

In no particular order but,

Old School, Stepbrothers, Borat, Bruno, 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, Superbad, and the first Hangover

Idiocracy too, but obviously humor is subjective

Quentin Tarantino ain't PC. Its mandatory for the characters to say "n#$$$r" 214 times in all his movies I think. Yeah the actors they put together for the small roles in True Romance is really unbelievable. I would say True Romance is the most Underrated movie of the last 30 years!

Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Christopher Walken, Tom Sizemore, Chris Penn (Sean Penn's brother & underrated actor), and Gary Oldman. Thats alot of star power!!!

Didnt read the above post til now.....totally forgot about Samuel L. Jackson. And of course the late great Dennis Hopper. His scene with Walken is one of the top 10 scenes in movie history imo! Moors weren't black though?
Moors looked middle-eastern like Egyptians or Libyans

[Fred The Hammer]

Blade...most underrated Marvel movie ever....

Superhero movies are not for me. Even when I was a little kid I liked real life things like dinosaurs and sharks. Not really into most sci fi either. Terminator movies and Time Cop. I do like time travel movies for some reason. I guess Predator is science fiction somewhat.

[Cavisa]

Overrated: Black Swan

Underrated: The International

Please report back when you do. A little bit of late 80s early 90s Rap pop culture knowledge def will help for watching this but not required.

Only thing Tarantino did better was Pulp Fiction.
I loved Kill Bill too, True Romance was better.

Not trying to compare the two, both are great. Merely pointing out Tarantino can get a little full of himself overdoing camera tricks, dialogue and such.

Ever see True Lies?

True Lies is great. Schwarzenegger already cemented as A list actor, may be Tom Arnold's best supporting role and Bill Paxton unforgettable as 'Simon' the fake spy

Watched Horrible Bosses 2 last night.

Shit cracks me up every time.

Jason Bateman is funny as heck in those and other movies, then turns around and directs/stars in Ozark, one of the best shows ever.

Guy is all time legend, imo.

His sister is ugly as sin these days.
She wasn't really that hot in Family Ties come to think about it.

[stevek173]

Lol, agreed.

[PromiseLand]

Underrated: Hard Eight- The Philip Seymour Hoffman craps scene alone makes this one worth watching. Hoffman was also great playing a degenerate gambler in Owning Mahowny

I agree with y'all about the marvel movies. We don't need a fukkin movie based on every character Stan Lee ever created on top of endless sequels. I'm always down for another Rocky movie though haha. I hope Stallone keeps pumping those out til he's 6 feet under.

[stevenash]

I hope Stallone keeps pumping those out til he's 6 feet under.

I thought the Creed movie (the first one) was going to be dreadful but even that was better than mediocre.
Only Rocky movie that really sucked was Rock V, I mean Tommy Gunn, how cheesy of a boxing handle is Tommy Gunn?
But other than Rock V, I liked them all.

[stevek173]

Seymour Hoffman incredible in the morbid but awesome dark flick Before the Devil Knows You're Dead as well, imo.

RIP Phillip.

Guy was legendary.

[cashin81]

hoffman as you have never seen him before...

dont remember much of this think it was okay

Haha. Rocky V was bad, but I thought Gunn's manager was pretty funny. Every time he was about to get his ass kicked, "touch me and I'll sue"

That was a good movie. They don't make movies like that anymore.

Finally watched true romance. Too much kissing and killing in that movie

[WinDove]

Movies like Magnolia and amelie pulin are overrated in my opinion

[Fred The Hammer]

Finally watched true romance. Too much kissing and killing in that movie

Quentin Tarantino wrote it....so yeah

[stevek173]

No offense to whoever bashed Fight Club, but dude -

It's Fight Club.

[cashin81]

Underrated as hell. The Place Beyond The Pines


The thing about this movie though....its much like No Country For Old Men. Once a certain event happens in the movie then it loses too much steam imo. First half of the movie though
Unf3$*n believable....but I love Gosling and Ben Mendelsohn too. Gosling and Mendelsohn should make some kind of a crime movie together where its just the two of them

Great film. Goslings filmography is insanely good.
