Title: What movies do you think are underrated?
Post by: tempestwheel on June 05, 2010, 11:29:44 PM

The difference between a film you think is underrated and a guilty pleasure is that a guilty pleasure typically has a mostly negative reception, a film you think is underrated could be both that or a film that has a positive reception, but is not that very well known-or remembered.

Some movies I think are underrated:
Happy Birthday to Me, a 1980 slasher
Rock-A-Doodle
The Lion King 2
Cats Don't Dance
Terror Train

Personally, I think the original Land Before Time would qualify! As every member on this forum will attest, it was a great movie, and yet it is apparently best known and remembered popularly as the film that spawned a plethora of sub-par musical sequels. :rolleyes (Personallyóand I'm sure others will agreeóI thought many of the sequels were quite good, and would love to see more of them if Universal managed to improve their quality. :p)
