Do you mean “great” as a superior film that critics have passed over or cult films we personally think are “great” that are somewhat unknown?

[–] lukejbarnett (1869) 5 years ago

no, not really films that critics have passed over. with cult films it's almost never about the quality being suspect, it's about how many people love these films. but in some rare cases critics have unfairly maligned a great or good film ala hudson hawk, showgirls, waterworld, cuttthroat island, howard the duck so then no one watches these films so then they don't become cult films unfortunately or blockbusters.

Not really unknown, but The Devil's Rain (1975).
I think it's masterful from start to finish,
and Joan Prather was stunningly beautiful.

Honestly it depends on what you mean by underrated.. Do you consider B horror movies that also have a cult following?
As for Hollywood grade movies you have Leaving Las Vegas which received multiple awards and nominations but isn't a very popular movie although I consider that to be Cages best work and who doesn't love Elizabeth Shue.
