Dave is sadly underseen. Pretty sure it came out when the drama with Michael Douglas came out The American President and Dave got overshadowed even though vastly different.
Favorite movies many may not know about

My perspective isn’t great, so I’m not sure if this is “under the radar” or not, but “Inside Llewyn Davis”:
It and “A Serious Man” are my favorite Coen Brothers movies.
This one is loosely based on Dave Von Ronk and Ulysses/The Odyssey.
It gets bonus points for what would have been an absolutely brutal recapitulation of one of the film’s central themes as a jab at the Star Wars franchise if it hadn’t come out before Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac were in those movies.
For that matter; “A Serious Man”:

Inside Llewyn Davis is definitely one that is brilliant but not appreciated. Top five Coen in my opinion. Good pull with that one.My perspective isn’t great, so I’m not sure if this is “under the radar” or not, but “Inside Llewyn Davis”:

Good call on "Flirting With Disaster."
It should appeal to viewers who like "Meet the Parents" (which was released ~4 years later), it has some of the same "mistaken situation/arc/character" elements. Not sure I'm describing that properly.
A great comedy with a forgettable title from 1982.
I love Big Fish. I didn't see it until like 10 years after it came out, but that moment of him moving the popcorn aside in the trailer for some reason has stuck with me. Ewan McGregor is great in it and the father son dynamic is so well portrayed.
I read the book it was based on, and would not recommend it. Burton did a great job adapting and changing the book into a better overall narrative.
It’s just so diabolically stupid funny. The script is just hilarious. The last part with the LSD tablets and everything goes crazy is just classic.

Kalifornia. One of Brad Pitt’s best. Juliette Lewis should have gotten an Oscar nom for this too. So ******* great.
That is a gut wrenching thriller. Good one.
Eerie to watch this movie sometimes with current events the last several years.
A good movie version of Custer’s Last Stand, but weird to see Bill Lumburgh playing George Custer
