The Golden Child (5.9)
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (6.6) it's .1 over the limit, but I still think it is underrated.
The 13th Warrior (6.6) again, .1 over, but so very underrated.
Hulk - 2003 (5.7) Ang Lee screwed up soooo much about this movie, except one thing. Eric Bana as Banner was fantastic. He had the rage and the reason for the rage down, something less delved into in the subsequent movies.

This is a fun watch, and worth revisiting. I actually got to spend some time in Savannah earlier in this decade and went to one of the late Lady Chablis' shows. She was a lot of fun. And honestly, while he essentially plays the same character in every film, there's not many John Cusack movies where you can go wrong.Originally Posted by TRF

But Liberty Valance is better.
I'm very upset at myself right now because the other night, at 4am, in Louisville's sweet hotel district, I had a movie in mind to add to this, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was. And it's been eating at me for two days now.
Night of the Living Dead?
Looking over my IMDB ratings, here are a few that I've rated higher that fit the criteria:
Suicide Squad
Billy Madison (Henry IV Part Sandler)
Burnt Offerings (genuinely scary horror with Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Bette Davis, Burgess Meridith, etc, criminally 6.5 on IMDB)
Mama
King Arthur (Clive Owen, Keira Knightly)
Darkman
Troll 2. The best, worst movie ever. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life.
If you make it past Sheriff Gene Freak without laughing, check your pulse.
And the best part is that it was not supposed to be the slightest bit funny. To this day the director stands behind it as a wonderful film.

Cosmopolis is interesting if you're in the right frame of mind. But my goodness if it isn't boring the other 95% of the time. It's essentially a guy riding around in a limo for two hours of screen time.

When I was a teenager, I watched the film Satantango in one sitting. It's 7 1/2 hours long.

Unless you were sitting on a toilet, I don't believe it.
I paused a few times for bathroom breaks and food, so it wasn't exactly 100% continuous, but you could easily get up and leave to go watch another movie, come back, and not really miss any important plot details.

I remember one New Years Eve as a teenager watching a movie that must have started sometime around midnight and lasted until it was light out. This was on commercial TV so it was broken up by commercials. The story was two knights chasing after one another, cornering each other, then escaping. I have absolutely no idea what it is called or anything that identifies it (other than the plot). But I remember it for the holiday and it lasting forever.

Before IMDb shut down their beloved message boards (damn you, Amazon!), there was a subforum for inquiries like that. I would post the most vague plot descriptions possible, or a random movie still, and somebody would always manage to help me find the movie I was looking for.
Another one:
The Outrage (6.3) with Paul Newman playing a Mexican bandit. It's a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon. Actually have this on DVD lying around somewhere. First saw it on Turner Classic Movies.
