Most Underrated Film?

Seeing loads of praise for Trainspotting, 127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire, and 28 Days Later, but some of his lesser known work seems to get snubbed.

I personally love A Life Less Ordinary. It took me a few watches to appreciate it, but it's just a wonderfully directed fairy tale with an awesome soundtrack. I love its message about love and how it's dependent on both coincidence and personal motivation. Also, Holly Hunter.

Sunshine easily.

It is a beautifully made film, its final act is just rather weak. I would still give it a 7.5/10

Sunshine. I actually think it's his best film.

Sunshine. It's a shame that film wasn't a success for Boyle.

The Beach is probably my least favorite Danny Boyle film, Sunshine is the most underrated.

Raging Bull = Best movie

The Beach, one of the most inspirational movies ever.

Either Sunshine or 28 Days Later. 28 Days Later gets a lot of flack from both viewers and critics for its 3rd act which I found nothing wrong with, even finding it compelling. Otherwise it got great marks.

Sunshine's 3rd act pissing people off I can understand, but it's 1st two more than make up for it.
