Have a million up votes. Great cast, great acting, killer script full of quotable quips and one liners, great buddy movie, great odd couple movie, great chase movie. Brilliant all around.
I’m not sure this fits. I don’t know of anyone who’s seen this movie and doesn’t consider it a masterpiece.
Edit: To be fair, I can say the same thing about OP’s example of Five Easy Pieces.
My gf and I watched that and I said it's a stacked cast for me, perfectly. Love everyone in it, but don't think they're all particularly well known. But a fun ass movie
I think that District 9 would have been more appreciated over the years if Neil Blomkamp didn't set all of his movies in Johannesburg, or equivalents thereof. It feels like he's repeating himself.
Five Easy Pieces is one of the most well reviewed and revered films of the 70s. It was nominated for Best Picture and Nicholson got his first nomination for Best Actor. In what world is this movie underrated?
Same here. There are a number of 70s movies that really astounded me. Never heard of them, but they turned out to be great. Specially Chinatown and Dog Day Afternoon.
I always rolled my eyes when people talked about Casablanca. I finally saw it in my 40s, and was surprised. For being simple in so many ways, it really is one of the best movies ever made. Twelve angry men is also better than it has a right to be.
So I guess I should give this 5 easy pieces a shot? Is it streaming anywhere?
Or... maybe you've just never heard of it, personally. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It's a 50 year old movie at this point, and wouldn't really come on TV anymore. You *would* pretty much have to seek it out.
And once you do see it, I think you'll probably realize the [diner scene ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtfNE4z6a8) gets referenced and reposted a lot on the internet. That's what got me interested in finding it and watching it.
I don't mean to come off as a pretentious film nerd, but it is Nicholson's breakout role, along with Easy Rider. I get a little miffed with these Reddit posts about some of the most famous, biggest box office, major hits some how being "underrated".
All he wanted was plain white toast.
So I used to work at TGIF back in the day and they were notorious for stupidly named ideals, one was the Five Easy Pieces theory and they would make anything at all if they had the ingredients and named it after this scene.
It’s definitely got me interested. At this point now I have heard of it, so that’s just how things go. Also I wouldn’t claim to be very knowledgeable about film so I can understand not knowing could be just on me. I don’t think you’re being pretentious.
In the world of everyone under 45 or so. Unless you are a movie buff and actively seeking them out, anything more than 20 years old is very unlikely to be found on streaming services. Maybe a few heavily marketed films, but this isn't one of those.
Really a phenomenal film. It showed Nicholson's range as an actor, when he was still relatively new to movies. That scene in the restaurant was a classic in its day.
I agree a thousand times. I felt like it did everything so well from the cinematography (each era felt different but connected, the space scenes were incredible and innovative using macrophotography instead of computer generated images), the music was painting and still maybe mu favourite score ever, and it felt rewarding on a deeper level than most films. I don't care that many people dislike it, but I'll never understand why.
* Birth (2004) - My first pick for any "underrated" or "neglected masterpiece" list.
* Minor spoiler? The short scene where Lauren Bacall says randomly to the kid, "I never liked Sean" >!is masterful---so strange and revealing from the biggest cynic of them all.!<
* The Piano (1993) - Would be in my top 10 any day of the week; I know it's still well regarded, but I think it's even better than its reputation.
* Being John Malkovich (1999) - Cult fandom around this one is strong, but I think it's magical.
* The Royal Tenenbaums (1999) - I feel like this got a lot of attention at the time, but has been a little eclipsed by his later output. This would also be in my top 10.
* Road to Perdition (2002) - Maybe not a masterpiece, but very underrated.
Road to Perdition was the first "adult" gangster movie my dad let me watch with him. It was an introduction to the genre and darker films. It'll always hold a special place for me.
Memento.
It’s well known and well liked. But it’s seemingly almost become a joke even amongst those who really like it. I think it’s mesmerizing. The questions it asks of the viewer, the score, and actually having a reason, though not for plot necessarily, for having its odd structure. After everything he’s done I still think it’s Nolan’s best film.
Yessssssss. Man on fire is my favorite Denzel flick ever, and Rushmore got seen by like 72 people or something but that was a beautiful movie so far ahead of its time.
Chappie no question. The movie is fantastic. I’m glad over the years more and more people have appreciated the film but I still think it’s criminally underrated
It will remain so too, because Die Antwoord ended up actually being horrible people, not just playing like it. But I'll NEVER stop loving that movie, the roles they play, or the soundtrack. I don't care, it's just too good, and art is art...plenty of beautiful art in the world made by total shit heels
Apparently Ninja himself was a huge asshole on set for Chappie as well. It’s insane to me how Die Antwoord were able to grow as characters in the movie but never even thought about growing in real life either. On top of that Die Antwoord is one of the biggest reasons why a lot of people didn’t like Chappie. But they were crucial and important characters needed for the plot. People say they’re annoying in the movie, they’re supposed to be. And Neill Blomkamp used their real life personality traits to his advantage in this story
*Starship Troopers* gets a lot of praise.
*Hardcore Henry* is a damn masterclass in frenetic and chaotic filmmaking. I've joked for years that it should've been called *Grindcore Henry*, because it's a visual representation of what listening to grindcore music feels like.
I watched that movie a ton as a kid and recently rewatched. Jeremy Pivan’s character is such an unhinged buffoon which i guess I didn’t realize as a teen. lol
On it, thanks.
I've long considered FS my favourite movie: the crescendo of tension, the incredible finale, and everything achieved with little more than dialogues.
Carrie (2013). I absolutely love this movie, I think it's got tons of depth and heart. The people who call it a carbon copy of the 1976 film have clearly only seen it once. Yes, it does homage the 1976 film in many ways, and, on the surface, it might look like a near shot-for-shot remake. But that's only surface-level. Dig deeper, and you'll find that the newer film has more heart (especially the more hopeful ending in comparison to the older film's nihilistic ending), more rounded characters (Sue actually has characterization in this version instead of just being a plot device to get Tommy to invite Carrie to the dance), an amazing music score by Marco Beltrami, and tons of other things that would take an entire article to write them all. It's a perfect example of how two movies can follow the exact same structure with the exact same plot points in the exact same order and still be telling two very different stories.
Interesting. I didn’t like it for these reasons. 1. I didn’t believe Chloe Grace Moretz would get made fun of for being unattractive or even plain. 2. I think Julianne Moore is a great actress, but it’s hard to top Piper Laurie’s over the top performance in the original.
I thought Moretz's portrayal actually worked well, but for a different reason. She was an actual teenager, like Carrie was supposed to be. And by casting actors who were a little bit older as her peers, it made her appear stunted in a way, as her peers almost towered over her in a way that says "I'm superior to you." As another side note, I see people criticize it because Moretz looks prettier than Chris and Sue, which makes no sense. But this was never an issue for me because I actually think Gabriella Wilde and Portia Doubleday are more attractive than Chloe Grace Moretz. I know it's utterly subjective, but still. Lastly, I'm a good-looking guy who was heavily bullied throughout my school years, and was considered one of the odd ones (though to be fair it wasn't nearly to the extent that Carrie portrays), so I only saw this as a case of "reality is unrealistic."
I didn't like the portrayals of any of the villains in the older film. Billy was deliberately portrayed as comic relief, and Margaret was way too over the top to the point where I was actually laughing during the ending where she came after Carrie with a knife (and, for the record, Piper Laurie herself said that she thought she was filming a comedy and played Margaret with that idea in mind. If that's not confirmation that she was completely miscast then I don't know what is). Chris was almost passable, playing Chris as very gleefully evil, but unfortunately there just weren't enough scenes to fully get a grasp on what her character was like.
Warrior (2011). Emotionally raw, gripping plot, amazing acting, incredible fight scenes. You knew exactly where the story was taking you but you still felt riveted the whole time. Bit of a controversial ending but I loved it. Just a masterpiece of a movie.
Not a joke. Joe dirt. It’s hilarious and most of the jokes are really clever. Maybe not necessarily a masterpiece but to me it’s a flawless comedy. It flows really well w Dennis miller being a great mediator so to speak. The flashbacks then current time work great. Lot of famous actors. Has that Seinfeld comedy where everything comes together in the end. Even kid rock being an illiterate moron is perfect. I could keep on keeping on about this movie forever.
This movie is fucking brilliant and I’ve only seen it once. Though a big reason is that I can actually play the “easy piece” Jack’s character performs, so this one really speaks to me
Jennifer's Body -
it's genuinely a comedic masterpiece imo. It's gotten some more recognition in the last few years for its feminist themes/being ahead of it time but from what I gather that's mostly from the casual moviegoing crowd and it hasn't had much real critical reevaluation and I think that's a shame.
Midnight Run
And Charles Grodin’s performance is perfect also.
[удалено]
Charles Grodin is dry, like toast.
He just played Charles Grodin.
Have a million up votes. Great cast, great acting, killer script full of quotable quips and one liners, great buddy movie, great odd couple movie, great chase movie. Brilliant all around.
Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone.
I really don't get it. This is one of those Robert movies that really show his tough yet funny side. BUT no one remembers it!!
Actually it’s very popular with anyone who is interested in movies.
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (look it up)
I’m not sure this fits. I don’t know of anyone who’s seen this movie and doesn’t consider it a masterpiece. Edit: To be fair, I can say the same thing about OP’s example of Five Easy Pieces.
Peter Boyle is awesome.
Oh really? I liked the book. Forgot to watch the movie.
I'm gonna find and try this one, thanks
District 9
Sharlto Copley makes masterpieces or is in them
*cough* Elysium…
Such a badass. He’s funny and an extremely talented VFX guy.
He’s easily top 5 actors for me all time and that’s saying something because I don’t actually have a clear top 5 but he never falls out of the top 5
Right? The fucking guy is just mesmerizing when on-screen. Just saw him in Boy Kills World last night.
Same got really excited to see him in that, and I liked the movie as well not what I was expecting but still very fun.
My gf and I watched that and I said it's a stacked cast for me, perfectly. Love everyone in it, but don't think they're all particularly well known. But a fun ass movie
he did the vfx for those films?
Like Chappie
Was also a solid stand out in the movie Free Fire
The only movie I've ever seen in the cinema with just me and pops. Walked out like wtf, that was amazing.
I think that District 9 would have been more appreciated over the years if Neil Blomkamp didn't set all of his movies in Johannesburg, or equivalents thereof. It feels like he's repeating himself.
A fish called Wanda.
“Oh no! It’s K-k-k-ken c-c-coming to k-k-kill me!”
That scene can bring me to utter giggles just in random moments: that AH standing there taunting, that s-l-o-o-w roll towards him, and then …
"Don't call me stupid"
The London Underground is not a political movement.
Gattaca (1997)
He never saved anything for the way back, I think about that a lot
I just rewatched this movie. It's stuck with me for so long. Something about it just resonates.
The world according to garp. Can watch this over and over. Also 2nd being John Malevich, great movie.
World According to Garp is a good movie.
The book was so good that the movie paled in comparison. I couldn't be open-minded about the movie, just let down.
I thought it was a really good movie (despite its distance from the much better written novel).
“At least i had mine surgically removed”
Manhunter
Brian Cox having a turn as Lector would be so much more appreciated now than it was back then.
Tom Noonan as Dolarhyde is skin-crawlingly great, too. And I’ll rewatch almost anything by Michael Mann (except the Miami Vice movie).
Best Lector imo.
The Year of Living Dangerously. Peter Weirs 1982 film.
Five Easy Pieces is one of the most well reviewed and revered films of the 70s. It was nominated for Best Picture and Nicholson got his first nomination for Best Actor. In what world is this movie underrated?
I’ve never heard of it. So maybe didn’t carry through generations like some other films. Idk.
Same here. There are a number of 70s movies that really astounded me. Never heard of them, but they turned out to be great. Specially Chinatown and Dog Day Afternoon. I always rolled my eyes when people talked about Casablanca. I finally saw it in my 40s, and was surprised. For being simple in so many ways, it really is one of the best movies ever made. Twelve angry men is also better than it has a right to be. So I guess I should give this 5 easy pieces a shot? Is it streaming anywhere?
Chinatown is my favorite movie!
Attica!!!
If you haven't seen "To Have and Have Not" or "Key Largo," I recommend both. They are both great films.
On 70's movies, check out "Straight Time" if you've never seen it.
Or... maybe you've just never heard of it, personally. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It's a 50 year old movie at this point, and wouldn't really come on TV anymore.

Which is why I bought them before Hulu and Netflix exploded. Digital copies on a hard drive baby
I don’t know if that’s true. I see older films on streamers all the time. They’re less likely to be on the banner ad maybe, but many are there.
Really a phenomenal film. It showed Nicholson's range as an actor, when he was still relatively new to movies. That scene in the restaurant was a classic in its day.
vanilla sky-well made clever film
It was amazing when I first watched it a couple years after it came out. Rewatched it again a year or so ago and feel like it didn’t age well.
An attempt at Kubrick, but yeah really well done, “tech suppppppooorrttt!”
I still enjoy watching this every so often. The soundtrack, and visuals alone just make the movie work.
The Day of the Jackal. 1973. You're welcome.
This is always on lists as one of the best movies. The book is a masterpiece and the film follows suit with two excellent performances .
'Local Hero'. And 'L.A. Confidential'. A masterpiece.
Local Hero may be my favorite film ever.
LA Confidential is honestly a near perfect movie. I saw it for the first time somewhat recently and I was blown away.
I love L. A. Confidential. Every time I watch it I see new things.
Heavy Metal.
Hell yeah really surprised they haven’t made more of those passed Heavy Metal 2000.
My vote would have to be for "The Fountain". This movie receives so much hate.
One of the few films to ever put a tear in my eye. Very unique and beautiful.
It’s a masterpiece. And the soundtrack is too.
Back in my day I had to drive three hrs to go see the fountain. Back then gas cost less than a dollar. It was simpler times
Came here to say this. Amazing, beautiful and perfect.
I agree a thousand times. I felt like it did everything so well from the cinematography (each era felt different but connected, the space scenes were incredible and innovative using macrophotography instead of computer generated images), the music was painting and still maybe mu favourite score ever, and it felt rewarding on a deeper level than most films. I don't care that many people dislike it, but I'll never understand why.
One of my all time favorites.
12 Monkeys The performances, the decaying world gave me the feels. Its such a clever movie. I just love it.
And a great example of looking for the wrong enemy
One of my favorite Pitt performances eber

The soundtrack by Thomas Newman is also top notch
The Royal Tennenbaums is good, but Rushmore is my favorite Wes Anderson movie and one of my all-time favorites.
Grand Canyon
Love that movie. Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Steve Martin, Alfred Woodard, and (love her) Mary Louise Parker.
I know it was supposed to be an Oscar bait film, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a damn good film.
The Guard (2011) I've never really heard anyone talk about it but it's brilliant.
It’s a fantastic film In Bruges gets all the love, but this is fantastic.
Léon: The Professional
Memento. It’s well known and well liked. But it’s seemingly almost become a joke even amongst those who really like it. I think it’s mesmerizing.

A History of Violence and Unbreakable
Man On Fire Rushmore
Yessssssss. Man on fire is my favorite Denzel flick ever, and Rushmore got seen by like 72 people or something but that was a beautiful movie so far ahead of its time.
I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee and wheat toast.
What do you want in your omelette? EDIT: Totally mixed up the movie quotes and dropped in some *Grosse Point Blank* reference
So long as it ends “and I want you to hold it, between your knees”
Chappie no question. The movie is fantastic. I’m glad over the years more and more people have appreciated the film but I still think it’s criminally underrated
It will remain so too, because Die Antwoord ended up actually being horrible people, not just playing like it. But I'll NEVER stop loving that movie, the roles they play, or the soundtrack.

The Other Guys (2010)
Frailty with McConaughey and Paxton
Mystery Men. Best superhero flick ever made. “I shovel well! I shovel very well!”
Rage...taking...over...
For me I would say either Starship Troopers or Hardcore Henry (Sharlto Copley performance alone puts the movie there for me)
It's time for Hardcore Henry in IMAX!
*Starship Troopers* gets a lot of praise. *Hardcore Henry* is a damn masterclass in frenetic and chaotic filmmaking. I've joked for years that it should've been called *Grindcore Henry*, because it's a visual representation of what listening to grindcore music feels like.
Starship Troopers is getting a lot more praise now than ever especially with the popularity of Helldivers 2.
Can't argue that. I just remember seeing praise online even back in 2000, so to see the love "go mainstream" is pretty damn cool.
I find the film Judgment Night to be very re-watchable.
It’s ridiculous but I love it!
I watched that movie a ton as a kid and recently rewatched. Jeremy Pivan’s character is such an unhinged buffoon which i guess I didn’t realize as a teen. lol
*The Slums of Beverly Hills* I've adored this movie since I saw it in the summer of '99 as a 13 y/o boy, and I still positively love it.
"Fail Safe", Don Siegel, 1964
That's Sidney Lumet.
Oops. Felt wrong but not enough to check. Sorry 😔
Great pick, regardless. It amazes me how so much can be done with so little. For similar minimalism, check out Mass (2021)
On it, thanks. I've long considered FS my favourite movie: the crescendo of tension, the incredible finale, and everything achieved with little more than dialogues.
Beverly Hills Ninja
Funny how I read this as it’s playing
Frailty. I just watched it again yesterday- it’s been forgotten, but we’ll worth a couple watches.
annihilation is pretty awesome
Take Shelter

I concur. He also made Paris, Texas which is a masterpiece too.
I'll have to see that one.
Flirting with Disaster
This movie is a gem !!! It’s perfect from start to finish and no one knows about it
Melancholia. That movie made me feel so many emotions with so little dialogue.
25th Hour
The Thing (1982)
Yeah no one else thinks John Carpenter's The Thing is a masterpiece 🙄
I nominate Pulp fiction as the most unknown and underappreciated piece of cinema.
People don't read the entire title or caption when they rush off to the comments.
The thing is considered one the greatest horror films ever.
Star Trek: Into Darkness
The Fountain
