I just saw Safety Not Guaranteed on Netflix. I'd never heard of it but it was in my Top 10 so we gave it a shot. Excellent flick.

Another vote for MacGruber, I will throw in Cedar Rapids as well...

I watched Cedar Rapids on Netflix and thought it was pretty good.

After Hours
After Hours (1985) - IMDb

Though it's a Scorsese film, don't think it gets too much attention.

Star Wars The Phantom Menace

Was a fav of mine for a long time. Also on board with Empire Records.

I'll add With Honors and Thank You for Smoking (not sure if either have been mentioned yet)

I apologize in advance for any repeats, whipped through the thread quickly.

We could argue about definition of "underrated" (actually, some of you already did that, I notice). It can sometimes lead to comparisons of apples and all-terrain vehicles. That's another topic for another day.

My "short list" (heh-heh) of underrated, for disparate reasons in a wide range of genres:

• “Primerâ€
• “Maskâ€
• "Say Anything"
• “Take the Money and Runâ€
• “Runaway Trainâ€
• "Flirting With Disaster"
• “Strangers on a Trainâ€
• "Man on the Moon"
• "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!"
• “Defending Your Lifeâ€
• "Roxanne"
• "Gimmie Shelter"
• "Born on the Fourth of July"
• "Best in Show"
• "What About Bob?"
• "WarGames"
• “Jesus’ Sonâ€
• "Waking Life"
• "Clueless"
• "Tron" (the '82 version, of course)
• "Grandma's Boy" (if nothing else, for the line: "Don't judge me, monkey.")
• "Funny Farm"

Take the Money and Run - I thought was one of Woody Allen's best movies. Annie Hall and Manhattan are the two that are always rated so high and I didn't like either one, but Take the Money and Run was hilarious.

Strangers on a Train - although on some Top 100 lists, is not one of Hitchcock's most well know movies, but is a very clever well thought out movie. I loved it. Although I love about 90% of Hitchcock's movies.
