100 Most Underrated Movies (1984-Present)

Add to my lists | Print this list

Criteria: – These Underrated movies received either little or great critical acclaim but were generally overlooked by the public for reasons such as little or no Oscar wins at the Academy Awards, another blockbuster released at the same time, or lack of promotion, yet deserved more credit than they received for overall cinematic quality.

I might actually put Road to Perdition on a list of the 20 most overrated films of the last 25 years, along with other similarly dumbed-down, treacly, over-written and over-directed films like The Green Mile.

Rushmore — 1 year ago

For consistency sake, I changed this title to the Criterion version. It was the only film available in that collection not listed as such.
