    Bonfire of the Vanities.
    Underrated:
    Critics hated it

    I thought it was very good.
    I enjoyed it, that's all that counts, right?
    I mean it's my two hours and 20 minutes, it's my eight bucks spent to watch it.
    Who cares what the critics thought.

    Trainspotting
    Underrated

    Great soundtrack, great cast, great movie.

    Both shoot to kill (from 1988) and frantic maybe slightly underrated. They're both good.

    Gravity is one of the most overrated movies for me.

    It is very slow, with a lot of music in the background to sensationalize every situation that ends up being way over the top.

    IDK man? Great movie, like a modern western, but you cannot kill your main hero figure off screen. That was so weird because I was really into the chase. The ending made no damn sense either

    I'd say its actually a good movie, but sbr forum isn't exactly the most mature place to have an actual discussion.

    I'll just tell the story instead. It was hilarious at the time. I bought my house about 15 years ago or whenever and I tried to turn it into a bachelor pad a little bit. I met this woman online and had her over to my house. I had just got DISH that day and we were flipping channels and she says she really wants to watch Brokeback Mountain. I wanted to bang her so I said "I'll try to watch it, but I reserve the right to turn the channel at any time" Well it was actually a good movie with beautiful scenery of Montana, but my TV kept flipping over to a Nascar race. I'd flip it back and then within seconds it would go back to Nascar. I think what happened is the installer screwed up and my remote programming got tied into someone else with DISH service.

    So I explain my theory to her and promptly turn off Nascar and go back to Brokeback over and over. We laughed our ass off at the thought of some Nascar fan being forced to watch gay cowboys It is a good movie past the tent scene. We both turned our heads I think

    Michelle Williams is in it too. She should stick with the Marilyn look I met this Russian chick online years ago from Celina, Ohio. Whitish blond hair like that and gray eyes. Marilyn colored her hair I'm sure, but you don't see super light blond hair like that anymore. This Russian woman was from Siberia. She was so damn hot for late 30s-40 or whatever, but way too into Russian Orthodox church for my tastes

    Hollywoodland


    Its about George Reeves, the original Superman, and whether he committed suicide or was murdered. Affleck plays Reeves as a hack actor with a drinking problem.....so maybe that wasn't acting in his case.



    He was still really good in that movie though

    Citizen Kane is a very average movie to the layman viewers

    However, it is the perfect movie from a nuts and bolts perspective. Any film 101 class will cite CK as the standard bearer in rear projection, close ups, dialog, deep focus and overlapping genre.

    It is a perfectly constructed film with the greatest actor of the 1040s (sorry Bogie...I'll give Humphrey that nod in the 50s especially w Big Sleep & Key Largo)

    Boiler Room and Glengary both classic movies, imo, though GlenGary is pretty morbid.

    Not a huge Affleck fan either, but he had some hilarious moments in the Jay and Silent Bob movies imo.

Ted Danson and Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan and Woody Harrelson, Sean Penn, and John Savage in Thin Red Line. Its ridiculous. Its one thing if its a higher ranking officer, but they have 40 year old guys in front line combat? My grandpa was a flamethrower man in the Pacific and he was 26 in 1944. They called him Pops because he was so old.

    Vince Vaughn in Hacksaw Ridge Dude had to be 45 and he's in front line combat.

    True, Ben Affleck pretty much sucks. The Town was pretty decent and I think he directed it? He directed Argo, but that movie bored me. Didn't finish it

    Watching Blood Ties right now. 70s family crime drama I guess, but I'm only 30 minutes in


    Pretty good so far. Clive Owens, Billy Crudup, James Caan, and Mila Kunis. This Zoe Saldana woman is one of the hottest black women I've ever seen.

    Agreed
    Hard to call a movie that won Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director overrated though. As well as one they talked about the chase scene as a precedent setter for decades after.

    I rewatched “The Conversation” again the other day. One of those rare films that seems to get better every time I watch it.

    Hackman of course excellent in both.

    Overrated: Scarface- it's a good movie but way overhyped.

    Underrated: Blow (can't believe critics only give this one 55% on rotten tomatoes)- Great film based on life of a real drug smuggler. I'll take this over scarface anyday.

    I agree on Scarface. If you're going Underrated Pacino then give me Carlitos Way or Donnie Brasco


    Sean Penn's wormy little Jew lawyer makes Carlitos Way great imo. Say what you want about Sean Penn, but the MF can act

    It's a much watch.

    Popeye Doyle.
    I hate the word 'iconic' (so overused) but it applies.
    Popeye Doyle is an iconic film character.
    Hackman was an Academy Award for that.
    Don Ellis (world famous jazz trumpeter), wrote that unbelievable music score.

    "Married with Children's" Ed O'Neil did a great job too in the TV version.

    People forget the great Roy Schneider was co star.
    Nobody is a bigger Schneider than I am. Forget Jaws, "All that Jazz" was one of my all time favorites too.
    If you ask me, Schneider's tour de force was "All That Jazz"

    Not a movie (sorry if that offends anyone), but if you like Bryan Cranston at all (who doesn't) and dark crime drama, you need to binge Your Honor, imo.

    Some of the best stuff I've ever seen, which is very rare to say about anything recent.

    Ok you guys are talking car chases and Bryan Cranston. I'll give you Drive with Ryan Gosling/Cranston. To me the rest of the movie couldn't match this scene, but a movie that gets you rolling from the start will usually keep you to the end. The music.....the adrenaline....wow! Ryan Gosling is one pretty boy that actually act unlike most of them

    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

    F# ck up sneaks into his own kids baptism. Powerful scene. Gosling was only supposed to have a few tattoos, but he wanted to be covered in them to feel the shame of being a ex-con
