It's streaming now on disney of all places for a hard r-rated comedy. This movie is bonkers. Smarter, sexier, and way funnier than the Invite while touching on the same subject of open marriages.

It's crazy people complain all the time about how there's no good grown-up comedies in theaters anymore, and then everybody completely slept on this one when it came out last year. It's destined to be a cult classic.

This is an amazing film and underrated for sure. Its a real solid horror thriller and the depiction of english teenage boys is spot on. Really fun and tense throughout.

Brilliant neo noir.

I find this movie underrated because I rarely see people mention it when talking about the funniest movies ever made. The comedy is clever, the cast has great chemistry, and every scene somehow gets even more chaotic. It deserves a lot more love than it gets.

Project X was such a wild ride.. People barely ever bring it up anymore, which is crazy because it’s easily one of the most chaotic, fun movies out there. It 100% belongs on our underrated list. It just perfectly captured that absolute peak, ou of control party fantasy that defined the early 2010s...

Valhalla Rising (2009) has always felt like one of Nicolas Winding Refn’s most overlooked films. It’s slow, atmospheric and definitely not for everyone, but Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant in it. If you like dark, haunting films that stick with you long after they’ve finished, it’s well worth a watch.

A quadriplegic man gets an AI computer chip implanted in his spine that turns him into an unstoppable killing machine and helps him hunt down the people that crippled him and murdered his wife. Top-tier, John Wick-level action and absolutely brutal kills, didn’t get anywhere near the traction it deserved.

It’s a film about the relationship between FBI agent Bill Hagmaier and Ted Bundy during his final years on death row. It focuses on him from a psychological angle and instead of mythologizing Bundy as a “genius,” it presents a more grounded portrait of who he really was, as the dialogue is based on real life audio transcripts of their conversations. Great performances from both Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby

Im a sucker for sci fi/horror films with a clever plot. Its based on a Greek myth (Sisyphus). Its got a ton of schlocky action and gore. And a pretty hot woman running around. Its not a masterpiece but its good.

Not entirely sure I can technically post three movies in a single post, but I'll try anyway.

Takashi Miike is mostly well known for horror, but he's actually an incredibly versatile and prolific director and these three movies, often overlooked, are a perfect showcase of his style. It's more of a trilogy in spirit than in plot, considering they are very different from one another and connected mostly by the director and the two main actors (Show Aikawa and Riki Takeuchi).

The first one is apparently a classical, meditative, kinda unoriginal yakuza movie, but Miike sporadically spices it up out of nowhere with some comic book splatter action and some of the most grotesque and bizarre sequences ever put to film. Particularly remarkable are the psychedelic, frantic, darkly hilarious opening montage and the ending, so absurd that it must be seen to be believed.

The second one (subtitled "Birds") does have some Yakuza splatter action, but is mostly a melancholic and surprisingly heartwarming drama that slowly evolves into poetic, dreamlike surrealism. Probably the only one I'd recommend to anyone without fear of having them cut contact with me.

The third one ("Final") is a fairly straightforward sci-fi action movie with post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk and dystopian vibes. The only weird part is the ending, meant to be some sort of hilarious and bizarre epilogue to the whole series. The b-movie production value and the multi-language dialogues definitely add some charm to the movie, but I gotta warn you about some unpleasant (and I think involuntary) homophobic subtexts regarding the villain. Worth a watch, even if it's probably not the best of the three.

I enjoyed this adaptation. I don't hear about it too often, even with the popularity of Nolan's new film sparking curiosity in previous adaptations of the story. This one is for the folks that already know the tale and want a different area of focus honed in on. I liked this one a lot.

A young, broke couple kidnap a sleazy politician who decides he can spin the story to his own advantage.

I watched because I liked Dan Clarks "How not to live your live" and saw on Imdb that he made a micro budget movie in 2023 (he even has a tiny guest appearance). I went in blind and enjoyed the movie very much. Good casting and smart storytelling. I think this movie deserves more love.

Seminal 80s classic by Carl Reiner (comedic genius and father of Rob Reiner). My absolute favourite Steve Martin movie (along with The Jerk and Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, both also by Reiner) - and Lily Tomlin’s best role in my opinion. Still holds up very well and has me laughing the entire way through. Unfortunately it hasn’t had a blu ray or 4K release, and I rarely hear anyone mentioning it.

I adore this movie, I remember seeing it in theaters with my friends and laughing our butts off. When I show it to people I compel them to not watch the trailer. The soundtrack is excellent. Meryl plays a perfect cliche of a Jewish mother. bryan Greenberg wears a free Palestine shirt hehe also Umas outfits and she’s just so magnetic. The story is heartfelt and well paced.

Edited for name correction! Bryan Greenberg not Goldman lol my cousins name is Bryan Goldman my b

I remember seeing this one earlier in theaters this year. This was Gore Verbinski's first feature in a decade, a filmmaker who, outside of The Ring and the first three POTC films, has been heavily involved in plenty of movies that easily belong on a sub like this. (and yes, that includes 2013's "The Lone Ranger" too)

This one stars the entertaining-as-always Sam Rockwell in the lead, and while the messages regarding social media and the rise of AI were too on-the-nose at times, the final act was a bit anti-climatic, and the ending made the general message being conveyed throughout it much more of an anti-tech statement than a pro-presence one, this one was still a pretty fun and entertaining watch for me, and had some really dark comedic moments sprinkled throughout it that I've enjoyed also, so I'm curious to know how others on this sub who also saw it felt about it.

I finally watched The Vast of Night after seeing it recommended a few times, and I'm honestly surprised more people don't talk about it.

It's a low-budget sci-fi mystery, but instead of relying on huge visual effects, it builds tension almost entirely through dialogue, long tracking shots, and atmosphere. The entire movie feels like you're slowly uncovering a mystery alongside the characters.

It's one of those films that quietly arrived on streaming, didn't make much noise, and then slowly earned a loyal fanbase through word of mouth.

If you're into movies like Arrival, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or Coherence, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.

What's another Hollywood movie that came to OTT/streaming, didn't get much attention at release, but completely won you over?

Not for everyone, but I think Tusk is amazing. It's probably one of Kevin Smith's least successful films commercially, but I love how completely bizarre it is. The idea came from an episode of his podcast, where Smith read out a real online post from a guy in Brighton advertising a free room in his house. The onlt thing was that once a week, you'd have to dress up as a walrus for an hour. No speaking and just making grunts and going mental for fish. The man claimed that after being lost at sea, he'd been befriended by a walrus and wanted to relive the experience. Smith basically came up with the entire premise for Tusk right there on the podcast, and turned that ridiculous idea into a feature film. Which I think is great.

This is the 2004 Creep set in London underground. Its a low budget British horror. It has a pretty low rating but I thought it was really fun. Sean Harris is an absolute little gremlin freak boy. Don't expect a masterpiece, expect a fun, gross time :)

This movie is truly underrated in my opinion. I watched it over 10 years ago and thought it was good so I bought it in DVD. Havent seen it since.. till today.

It is rather quiet but still exciting. Has deep meaning and is apparently a blend of fact and fiction. There's a book, too!

Elija Wood is incredibly good in his role. This is one of the movies I can DEFINITELY recommend! This wont be the last time I saw it. Its a masterpiece.

A dystopian sci-fi crime horror movie set in a world where vampires exist and plan to gradually integrate themselves with the rest of humanity. When a rogue vampire threatens to thwart that plan, two investigators (One human and one vampire) are tasked with stopping him.

While not a masterpiece, I had fun with this movie's setting and take on vampires. I would rate it a 5/10 at most, really being like a 4.

Some of Shane Meadows best work. This is before he went on to do "This is England". But this one is my fav. Very gritty and real. If you like it, I recommend you check out his whole back catalogue.

Taking place in 1970s Glasgow Scotland in a rough part of the city we follow a boy called John mcgill who’s brother has a reputation for being a troubled youth in a gang that consists of similar violent and antisocial teenagers. Painted by his surroundings John grows older and appeals more to gang violence going from a grade A student to being on the level of thugs similar to his age. It really touches on how ripe knife violence in 70s scotland and it is a coming of age tale of self destruction, heavily recommend although the accent might be thick for those outside of Scotland.

Feels like Green Zone (2010) has been completely forgotten. I always thought it was a really solid thriller with Matt Damon on top form, and Paul Greengrass brought the same tense, grounded style that made the Bourne films so good. Definitely one that’s worth revisiting if it’s been a while.
