    Name Some Underrated Movies

    Let's define underrated ---> movies that would rate below the median on IMDB - I.E. a rating of 6.5 or lower

    I'll start it off (in no particular order)...

    Bird on a Wire (5.9)
    Young Guns (6.5)
    Arachnophobia (6.4)
    Air America (5.7)
    Kindergarten Cop (6.1)
    Crocodile Dundee (6.5)
    Stakeout (6.5)
    Judge Dredd (5.5)
    The Cowboy Way (5.8)
    SpaceCamp (5.6)
    Always (6.4)

    So this is harder than I figured, but kind of fun to try and find stuff that I enjoyed that got a 6.5 or less (found several that ranked just a shade higher in the low 7, high 6 range)

    Very Bad Things (6.3)

    In no particular order:

    The Punisher 2004
    Skippy 1931
    Funny Games 2007
    Sleeping Dogs 1977
    Guilty by Suspicion 1991
    A Walk in My Shoes 2010
    Texasville 1990
    Billy Jack 1971
    Pete's Dragon 1977
    Elle s'en va 2013
    Frank Film 1973
    London to Brighton in Four Minutes 1952
    The Great Gabbo 1929
    A Death in the Family 2002
    Good Sam 1948
    The Quick and the Dead 1995
    Summer of the Monkeys 1998
    Tad 1995
    God is Dog Spelled Backwards 1967
    The End of One 1970

    Some of them I find surprising that they are that low (Hugo och Josefine?!), there's some experimental shorts in there, not to shocked about those. And a host of "guilty pleasures."

    Dream a Little Dream had its moments.

    Awful, in fact probably worse than 5.9...but it had moments.

    Which, really, that's what I find in most movies today.

    I end up walking out feeling unsatisfied, always just trying to find the positive.

    That 3 Billboards movie was terrible....just awful....great acting though.

    Star Wars movies same way- terrible stories, the effects are cool.

    Loved Varsity Blues, which looking at the "also liked" list brings forth a couple of other movies:

    Can't Hardly Wait (6.5)
    The Program (6.4)
    She's all that (5.8)

    Funny Farm was great as well, apparently most of Chevy Chase's films fail to meet the 6.5 mark

    Fletch Lives (6.1) not as good as Fletch, not even close, but still some good parts
    Spies like us (6.4) I will stop any time this is on TV
    3 Amigos (6.2)
    Vegas Vacation (5.9) Incredibly cheesy, in a great way


    Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (5.0) I honestly can't recall if this was any good or not, but if you had HBO in the 80s this and 3 O'Clock high were on about every other day; I bet I saw each at least a dozen times.
