Hi there.

I thought this might be a good way of discovering films I/you may not have otherwise seen.

I rated this film 7. I was wondering what other fans considered underrated films?

Here's a few of mine (that were rated lower than 8 by the majority originally):

(6.* that I rated 7-9)
Some Voices
Meet Joe Black
My Brother Tom
What Dreams May Come
Jack & Sarah
Instinct

(7.* I rated high 7 to 9)
Tuesdays with Morrie
The Island on Bird Street
My Summer of Love
Blind Flight
I, Robot
Roger Dodger
The Fifth Element (1997)
Alice in Wonderland (1951)
The Kidnappers (1953)
Waking Life
Scent of a Woman
Kramer vs. Kramer
Io non ho paura
The Bourne Identity
Watership Down
I Am Sam

(High 6s worth seeing)
Late Night Shopping
Legends of the Fall

(good enough films, cruelly rated by the majority)
Pitch Black
The Last Supper
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Heart of Me
First Knight
Patch Adams

(Well rated films I rated a little better)
Être et avoir
A Beautiful Mind
Espíritu de la colmena, El
Good Will Hunting
Goodbye, Mr. Chips
In America
In the Name of the Father
Boyz n the Hood
The Breakfast Club
Withnail & I
Fetten Jahre sind vorbei, Die

Cheers, hope to hear what some other fans of the film think are underrated movies.

Just happened to catch this movie the other day. Fascintating. Although I was doing other things and did not sit thru it entirely. I thought it was sad when the poachers killed the gorillas. I saw the ending, but where did Ethan go? Did he go back to Africa? Also, did Cuba give Ethan the pen? I thought it was cool that the other inmates created the diversion so Ethan can flee.

That's a real good list. I actually had to give this movie a 10 to try to up its points alittle bit, 6 is way too low on a film that unveils some truths about ourselves. like how can Cloverfield or like Snakes on a plane have higher ratings? But realistically this film probably like a 7.5

Other underrated films would be ones with underrated actors like Ryan Gosling, Joseph Gordon Levitt, etc. and probably a lot of foreign films like Tsotsi and The Lives of Others.

Wish that great films were easier to be seen and better marketed than most of the crap at the box office
