By underrated I mean anything that was not popular and deserved to be, or any independantly produced films that have never had the regcognition thay deserve. My first recomendation is. [shadow=green,left,300]Title:[/shadow] 24 7 (Twentyfour Seven) [shadow=green,left,300]Year:[/shadow] 1998 [shadow=green,left,300]Staring:[/shadow] Bob Hoskins, Bruce Jones, Frank Harper, Danny Nussbaum, Johann Myers. [shadow=green,left,300]Breif plot outline:[/shadow] A fantastic film about a town\village in the UK which has been hit hard by job losses, until Darcey (Bob Hoskins) decideds to start up a boxing club to help the youths of the town stay off drugs and learn self respect. Things don't always work out the way they are planed though. A fantastic film which was shot on B&W film, not because they couldn't aford colour, but because it made the film more downbeat and captured the atmosphere better. [shadow=green,left,300]Avalible on DVD\VHS:[/shadow] DVD (VHS unknown) [shadow=green,left,300]Link to buy:[/shadow] £9.99 on DVD www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=121405&p=57&g=72 |

American splendour.
I'm fairly sure it was popular with critics, but you can't pigeonhole it so I don't think it performed as well as it should at the box office.
I'd find it difficult to sum up this film, so here is what it says on IMDB:
Harvey Pekar is file clerk at the local VA hospital. His interactions with his co-workers offer some relief from the monotony, and their discussions encompass everything from music to the decline of American culture to new flavors of jellybeans and life itself. At home, Harvey fills his days with reading, writing and listening to jazz. His apartment is filled with thousands of books and LPs, and he regularly scours Cleveland's thrift stores and garage sales for more, savoring the rare joy of a 25-cent find. It is at one of these junk sales that Harvey meets Robert Crumb, a greeting card artist and music enthusiast. When, years later, Crumb finds international success for his underground comics, the idea that comic books can be a valid art form for adults inspires Harvey to write his own brand of comic book. An admirer of naturalist writers like Theodore Dreiser, Harvey makes his American Splendor a truthful, unsentimental record of his working-class life, a warts-and-all self portrait. First published in 1976, the comic earns Harvey cult fame throughout the 1980s and eventually leads him to the sardonic Joyce Barber, a partner in a Delaware comic book store who end ups being Harvey's true soul mate as they experience the bizarre byproducts of Harvey's cult celebrity stature.
My rating 9/10

I thought the original Resident Evil film was underrated. I thought it was quite good. Especially when she kicks the dog!

I liked Resi, it was very watchable, especially the bit where they first encounter the zombies and all hell breaks loose ;D

I watched it on box office, it cut out at the very end as she was walking out the door  , now that's bad timing. But i saw it again on sky movies and i think it's pretty good... |

I have remembered that it was not on this site that I could do that, I am a mod on another forum and they use VBB or something like that.
Hopefully PB V4 will have those functions, as when threads go well off topic it can be usefull to split them into 2 diferent threads.
