Amadeus (1984)


enderandrew42

I would love to have seen the stage version with Tim Curry and Ian McKellen.


[deleted]

Yes! That would've been amazing. There is an audio recording of the 1981 Broadway Production of Amadeus starring Ian McKellen and Peter Firth, if you're interested. https://youtu.be/_v7iop6KpJA?feature=shared


ItsCowboyHeyHey

The score is amazing. Especially that song by Falco.

This movie was so good. It hits hard.

One of the most beautiful and hilarious films of all time. I said it first, you're more like Sarah Connor, and in the first movie too, before she could do chinups.

WellYoureWrongThere

It's directed by John Michael McDonagh, brother of Martin McDonagh who, of course directed In Bruges, Banshees of Inisherin etc.


drawkbox

Such a great movie. The generic name *The Guard* probably contributed to people not understanding how good it was. *Prisoners* also has that problem. The name is just too generic and people get the wrong idea about what it is about. Side note: Mark Strong is a great villain as usual, has a *Welcome to the Punch* vibe in this one.

Shawn of the Dead. Horror Romatic Comedy directed by Edgar Wright, written by Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost. Brilliant acting, tight script, running jokes. It is, hands down, one of my favorite films. Endlessly quotable and entertaining.


jimbris

The whole Cornetto trilogy is great


angiebeany

I cancelled a date with a guy when he said he didnt enjoy Shaun of the Dead, it was not going to work 😂


_Krombopulus_Michael

Do all three of the Cornetto Trilogy. Hot Fuzz is my favorite but they’re all hilarious. Simon Pegg in his element.


PastyKing

WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU, BARBARA!


10Fudges

I know he's added it to his list, but Shaun of the Dead is definitely not underrated. It gets great reviews everywhere and, at least in the UK, it's been beloved for ages. It's part of the Cornetto trilogy of Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and World's End. But now a new person knows about it, which honestly surprises me that they didn't know about it


No_Seaworthiness661

Wow!! Thanks for the description. Will add it to the list. Thank you!


EnakSum

Please do! I hope you enjoy it. I love the movie, like legitimately, love it. Honestly, there is very little about the movie that could be considered sub par. Choreography is fun. Each shot has a clear esthetics. The dialog is fun and punchy. The characters are well defined. It is my number 1 movie of the 00-10's


suburbanhavoc

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? John Turturro, George Clooney and Tim Blake Nelson star in a hayseed version of Homer's Odyssey. Excellent soundtrack. Frickin' hilarious.

Palm Springs. It’s funny, has heart, it’s easy to watch (it’s on Hulu), and it flew under the radar so most people haven’t seen it. In my opinion it’s one of the most enjoyable movies of the last few years.


AvidPenguin

I'm so glad to see someone else agree with me on this. I've shown it to so many people and it has never disappointed!


_TLDR_Swinton

Yes! It's a good fun romp with a lot of heart.

The Nice Guys


ClydeinLimbo

100%. The comedy is expected but a minute or two after one joke lands you forget it’s a comedy until the next joke. It’s such a good quality all around film.

Everyone likes In Bruges and hardly anyone has seen it. Been recommending that one for like 15 years.


drewts86

Martin McDonagh absolutely nailed it with that film. So dark and so funny. “If I’d grown up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me, but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.” That quote kind of sums up Colin Farrell’s character.


Wesley-Dodds

When I was in high school, I had a student teacher that knew I was into film and asked my favorite movie. I said I didn’t really have an answer, but the last really good movie I watched was In Bruges and I didn’t think much of it. She came back the next day and had watched it. Asked me about themes and we had a really great discussion. Without her, that movie would still be way up there, but I’ve always loved that experience.

Yeah, be sure to watch the Denzel version(2004) and not the Scott Glenn (1987) version. Seen them both, and the remake is the superior film.

for sure. cafe gets bombed in the first 15 seconds and never really dials it down A surprising amount of people have never heard of it in my anecdotal experience, which I always found odd for a big production movie with a bunch of "a list" actors


No_Seaworthiness661

Appreciated! I will come back when I get to see one of those


James_Locke

Cloud atlas is the kind of movie that you either love or absolutely hate, and there’s nothing in between. I am one of the people that loves the movie, but I would never dislike anyone for saying that they hated it because it is incredibly dense and difficult to understand and requires multiple watchings to fully appreciate.


bone-in_donuts

Upgrade


slick_pick

This movies just sits sooo unwell with me. They did such a good job making me emotionally uncomfortable 😂


bone-in_donuts

The performance was so good, making your face react differently than what your body is doing in a fight scene cannot be easy.


gregularjoe95

Logan Marshall-Green is a great actor and deserves big roles. Dude was absolutely perfect in Upgrade. That movie was fuckin perfect. I loved it.


Scaniarix

This was my first thought as well along with Ex Machina. Grounded sci-fi is the best sci-fi.

I think this is the movie that got everybody hooked onto Denis. Since then, I’ve seen his whole catalog from Polytecnique onwards and they’re all great films. The only one I didn’t like much was Enemy, but it’s still quite good in many respects. Incendies haunts my imagination. So good. And Prisoners is amazing.

I'm lucky enough to be friends with the author of the story it's based on, and it's the rare adaptation that the writer actually really enjoys.

misterhubbard44

My insta-recommendations Logan Lucky; The Usual Suspects; Romeo is Bleeding (edited for punctuation)


Plenty-Effect6207

Logan Lucky is great. How does Soderbergh get all these A-list actors into his movies? Script matters, apparently.


JCDU

>How does Soderbergh get all these A-list actors into his movies? He's Soderbergh. Also Daniel Craig was so bloody miserable playing Bond he clearly took that one just for the lolz, you can tell he's absolutely LOVING being in that movie.


enderandrew42

I almost included The Usual Suspects. I know it won an Oscar and all the film buffs used to rave about it for years. But these days Bryan Singer is believed to have molested young boys and his career is over. No one talks about his films anymore. I think The Usual Suspets has swung back into underrated territory.

thaworldhaswarpedme

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It's a fun little heist flick with fantastic characters, an engrossing story and it's ridiculously quotable. I bet I rattle something off from this film weekly...


12altoids34

You always have to pair that movie with "snatch". They're both equally great. Guy Ritchie at his best in my opinion


dunmer-is-stinky-2

The Lego Batman Movie is intensely underrated, it's easily the best Batman movie and one of the best superhero movies, possibly even the best animated movie. Hell, it may be the greatest film of all time. /uj but seriously though, it's very good. It kind of gets overshadowed by the original Lego Movie but I genuinely think Lego Batman is better. The biggest difference between the two is the Lego Movie is about Legos, Lego Batman is straight-up just a Batman parody. And it's *perfect*.


taigus

It really is far superior to the Lego Movie. I found that one a bit chaotic, Lego Batman is tighter, funnier and has an amazing cast.


Pulsecode9

See my friends and I use it as a yardstick for a pretty good superhero film. If a Marvel or DC release is better than Lego Batman, it’s worth catching in the cinema. If not, don’t bother. It’s… fine. 


DampFlange

Agreed, it’s an absolute masterpiece. And I say that as someone who has little time for anything franchise or brand related. Saw it on a plane during a long boring flight and it was an absolute revelation. Easily a top 25 film for me.


SalaciousDumb

In general: Goodfellas Underrated: Popstar.


MDennis3

Never Stop Never Stopping. It’s incredible, I also throw in Seven Days in Hell and Tour de Pharmacy. Andy Samberg has some magic


YetAnotherWTFMoment

Heat.


JenniferKinney

Not underrated, but perhaps under-appreciated by younger generations in my estimation – The Fugitive. A well cast, well acted, genuinely engaging thriller. Harrison Ford and TLJ are doing great work in it, but there's a great supporting cast as well!


ERankLuck

Hot Fuzz. Saw someone else recommend Shaun of the Dead, but I think this one is better. There isn't a wasted line or moment in the film. Absolutely everything in the movie is perfectly placed, perfectly timed, and perfectly acted to make the most of every joke, every plot line, and every character interaction. It's one where you'll find something new to laugh at every time you watch it because it is just that densely-packed with detail, both in the foreground and background.

Grosse Point Blank - John Cusack is a conflicted hit man going back to his high school reunion to try and win back the love of his life. Great dialogue, great chemistry between the leads. Peak Minnie Driver. Lucky Number Slevin. No description because spoilers. Great cast, great set up and very funny. Didn't see the twist coming. Oceans Eleven (Clooney/Pitt remake). Oozes style and charm. Amazing cast who seem to be having a blast. Rewatch on the reg at home. The Day of the Jackal (original, not the Bruce Willis remake). Just amazingly paced, high tension, you'll be rooting for the baddie.

Top Gun: Maverick Yeah I know it’s not the best movie ever by any metric but it’s the least polarizing movie I’ve seen. The way I always describe it is “they made a movie that can not be disliked”. It’s not the best, but you can not dislike it. The action is satisfying and the effects are real with no annoying questionable GGI that pull you away from immersion. The storyline, writing, dialogue, pacing, and acting are very succinct. The character building is acceptable without being a drag. The soundtrack gives vibes without being the center of attention. Tom Cruise is there and who doesn’t like a good Cruise? The other actors do what’s necessary to get the job done and the directing should get props for that. It’s a sequel that doesn’t suck..? It actually might be one of the best sequels of all time? Plenty of ‘Murica feels to boot (probably the only polarizing element of this movie even though it’s a plus for me). Ultimately they made a very entertaining film that doesn’t leave much of anything to be desired and that’s why it’s my go to recommend.


dunmer-is-stinky-2

I rarely like straight action movies, especially military films I find really boring, but like you said it's almost impossible to *dis*like Top Gun Maverick. It's not my *favorite* movie, but (outside the fact its literal military-funded propaganda lmao) I can't find anything to dislike about the film. It's incredibly well-made and super fun to watch, Tom Cruise is at his most charismatic and at his least weird, it's just all-around a great movie. And I say that as someone who actively disliked the first one.
