Anyone have any underrated movies that most people have never seen/heard of? If I had to name 5 they would be:

1. Rumble Fish- One of my all time favorite movies. Just check out that cast.
2. Clerks- Not nearly as obscure as Rumble Fish, but if you aren't from in or around the Tri-State area, you may not have seen it.
3. Oldboy- Not the shitty 2013 Spike Lee rip off version, the 2003 cult classic. This movie will fuck you up a little bit, and change the way you see the world.
4. Wet Hot American Summer- Netflix just did a series based off the movie, and if you're a fan of slapstick comedy you'll love it.
5. Empire Records- One of those movies I saw when I was young, and never stopped liking each time I could find it(rarely, I might add) on tv.

Discuss.

1. The Dirties - Movie about a fictional school shooting. Two friends get bullied and plan to shoot up a school. One friend thinks it's just joke talk while the other is taking it seriously.


2. What We Do in the Shadows - A parody on vampires.


3. Fury - Not an unknown movie but one that I feel didn't get a lot of credit. Personally thought it was a phenomenal film.


4. The Babadook - Also not as unknown and this one did get a lot of credit but just putting here in case anyone hasn't seen it.


5. It Follows - See description for Babadook. Thought it was the best Horror film I watched in a loooooong time.

I've heard good things about What We Do in the Shadows, but haven't seen it yet. Same for Fury and The Babadook. It follows was great and has a fucking KILLER soundtrack.

I haven't even heard of The Dirties but it kind of reminds me of Elephant. This trailer is weird, but the movie is worth a look.

It's been compared to Elephant, I believe. Watch it, man. It was great. At least imo.

I liked Dirties. Never bothered with what we do in the shadows, but it's new enough that I don't have to worry about it just yet. Fury I loved. Best war movie since Saving Private Ryan in my opinion, that ending. Babadook was, without a doubt, the most refreshing breath of life into a dying Horror genre that I've seen in several years, and I'm an avid horror fanatic. It Follows I didn't like nearly as much. It was great until it started breaking it's own rules in the second/third acts. I would highly recommend Babadook and Fury to anyone who hasn't seen either of them. You won't be disappointed.

Explain.

Have you seen it? Because if you haven't I'm not going to spoil it.

I'll PM you about it, I don't want to ruin it for anyone else who might not have seen it(Read: Luke).

Sounds good.

P.S. This is why we need spoiler tags.
