  • Road To Perdition.... I don't know why the critics bashed this one. One of my favorite movies of all time. Hanks was great, Newman was superb as usual, your boy Craig was a great bad guy in it, and even Jude Law was great. One of the best villains in recent memory. The cinematography was unbelievable. Watching that movie is like taking a time machine to that time is how good it is. Critics are dumb. At least on this one they were.

  • I thought Road to Perdition was great. Also like a lot of the movies that have been listed so far. I'll name a couple off the top of my head.

    Lock Stock n Two Smoking Barrels
    The Forgotten
    I love pretty much anything the Cohen Brothers do but I wouldn't call many of them underrated.
    Death Race. I always watch this movie when its on.
    The Score. Great cast but I can't remember it being a hot movie.
    The Game. Same thing great cast but not a hot movie.
    Alpha Dog
    Kids. I thought this movie was the greatest thing ever when I was a teenager. Made me feel cool just getting to watch it. LOL.

    Thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.

    I got a few more:
    Juice
    Above the Rim

    25th hour. Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors.
    Rounders
    Pride and Glory
    Donnie Brasco
    Eye for an eye
    Dead man walking
    My Cousin Vinny
    The Hurricane

    Not the biggest budget, but I thought it had good dialogue. Good comedy.

    Role Models and Shooter are great movies. I could not stand SemiPro. I liked their Old Spice commercials better.

    Hot Rod is another funny one.

    Different strokes for different folks!

    If I had to pick an underrated Will Ferrell movie I'd go with the other guys.

  • I hated The Other Guys.

    Loved Role Models.

    Role Models was good

    Other guys was underrated as far as Ferrell movies...mainly because most of his movies are overrated.

    Not Bewitched!!! Really the only Ferrell movie that I've seen that's laugh out loud funny is Anchorman. Some of his others vary from downright unwatchable to having a couple funny moments.

    Joe Dirt was thoroughly awesome. I hate Kid Rock but when he read that letter really badly I laughed pretty damn hard. He ended it with "X O X O". I laughed.

  • I thought Step Brothers and Talladega Nights were both LOL funny.

    Joe Dirt is a classic.

    Yeah. They had their moments. That little redheaded kid talking all that shit to his grandfather at the dinner table had me laughin pretty hard.

  • I'm surprised more people don't love Step Brothers. That one of my favorites. I laugh even now when I watch and I've seen it tons of times. Same for Anchorman but everybody seems to love it.
