My Friend Dahmer (6.4 in IMDB) was a simple, small thriller-ish drama about Jeffrey Dahmer in high school. It didn't try to be a bigger movie or some clever 'high school' twist on Dahmer mythology. It was just a straight forward character study on an emerging serial killer, based on a graphic novel that a friend of Dahmer's wrote based on his experiences. You won't walk away with your mind blown but it's very solid and a great go-to selection for future 'underrated movie' conversations amongst friends.
I still say this all the time.Originally Posted by RedTeamGo!
My contribution:
Cedar Rapids Ed Helms, John C. Reilly, Anne Heche (6.3)
Has anyone even seen this? It's way better than 6.3

Out Cold is hilarious. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253798/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
There are lots of movies that I think get underrated on IMDb but they usually still have over a 6.5. That median is pulled down by all the awful stuff in theaters I never go see. Anyways, I went to IMDb, sorted by my ratings and took everything I gave at least a 7 that has a user-score <=6.5. I excluded some comedies because they all get lower scores and because while I thought Billy Madison was really funny in middle school I'm not actually going to try and convince you it is underrated.
Congo (1995), 5.1 - this is a perfect 10 obvs
...
Surf Ninjas (1993), 5.0 - like Congo, my love of this film started out as nostalgia for movies I watched a lot as a kid, turned into something I liked ironically when I wasn't sober, to now straight up rocking out to it
Road House (1989), 6.5 - I doubt I have to explain this one
The Double (2013), 6.5 - beautifully shot mind twister with a J Mascis cameo
A View to a Kill (1985), 6.3 - I'm a light Bond geek and this one is ridiculous fun
War Machine (2017), 6.0 - Hilarious satire of imperialism and the military-industrial complex
Our Idiot Brother (2011), 6.4 - an endearingly touching family drama with some really funny scenes
Magic Mike (2012), 6.1 - worth it for McConaughey's performance alone. Surprised this one is so low. Probably further evidence of just how much the internet is a man's world, which is ironic because this is totally a bro movie if you get past the homophobia
Popeye (Robin Williams/Shelly Duvall version) - 5.2
Clearly IMDB reviewers have no taste.

Out Cold (6.3) is one of my favorites.
Aspen Extreme (5.9) is another one of my favorites.
Vertical Limit (5.9) I probably watched this 20 times in college.

Breakin'2 was once shown with an advanced preview of The Karate Kid. I had to sit through it but got to see the better movie for free as the second of a double feature.
Young Guns is a personal favorite of mine - played in on a loop throughout college.
Small Soldiers (6.1) comes to mine.

Is that Jean Claude at the height of his cocaine addiction?
Barbershop (6.3)
I used to watch it over and over just to spend time in that shop.

Speed Racer (6.0)
Literally one giant acid trip.
