The old one you never heard of.
“Report To The Commissioner” 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it’s got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.
“Honey, please don’t undermine me in front of the hostage.”
uwe boll’s postal.
don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the worst, most disgusting films ever made. it’s like if john waters was a conservative. but there’s a certain… something to it. there are little details that didn’t need to be there that shows some enthusiasm and care for its making.
like there’s this one scene where the protagonist goes over to his uncle’s sex cult compound and finds him asleep in just an open bathrobe with like seven naked chicks, right? and the dude wakes him up and he has to push them off of him. and as he crawls out from under the blonde sleeping on his crotch, they’ve added a little *plop* sound effect as her head moves away from his dick. like, that’s funny! and totally unnecessary.
Not sure if it’s underrated or just not well known, but “The unbearable weight of massive talent” was so insanely good!
Cowboys and Aliens is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Street Fighter has survived to become a cult classic.
Tusk 2014 (at 45/36 on RT, 5.4 imdb). Funny concept, funny effects, some of the dialogue a bit shit but overall very enjoyable
I know a few NYC EMS EMTs. The opening, where the EMT calls the cops out for planting the gun, is always popular.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
A horror movie all about a big misunderstanding leading to absolute chaos.
And it’s got Alan Tudyk in it. You just know you’re gonna have a good time when he’s involved.
Baby driver I know it’s decently well known, but honestly not even close to enough.
The Rise of Skywalker - it’s a big dumb action movie, with some silly plot holes, but I’ve never understood the degree to which people hate it (or profess to).
I thought it was great fun, and such a return to form after Last Jedi. Yes, some of the lines make your eyes roll (“somehow Palpatine returned,” in particular) but for me it recaptured the high energy, almost innocent, tone of the OT and TFA. No horribly out of place modern cynicism, no lightsaber tossing, no “can you hear me now” jokes.
And I thought the scene with Kylo Ren and Han was genuinely excellent, a really satisfying emotional payoff.

Also the first Equalizer movie with Denzel Washington: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0455944/ Denzel is just really good in this
And the Bagdad Cafe and Diva are also great!
Gran Torino
Thankskilling (2008). Low budget horror movie about a talking turkey (a puppet) who murders college students. It’s one of the most ridiculous and hilarious movies I’ve seen.
