Absolutely flawless adaptation of a great Jerzy Kosinsky book. Peter Sellers was IMHO one of the most talented actors of the 20th century. Jack Warden as the president is priceless.
How about: Mad Mgazine's Up the Academy? - so good that Ron Liebman actually asked to have his name taken off the credits. Also Ralph Macchio pre-KK and the Outsiders.

Edit: I almost Missed Antonio "Huggie Bear" Fargas (former Wolverine/Trojan Justin's dad).

I remember loving 25th Hour after I watched it. I didn't even realize it was a Spike Lee movie until after. It's fairly depressing, but it certainly impacts you one way or the other, and that's the measure of a good movie.
October 30th, 2014 at 2:29 AM ^
One of the best sci-fi films ever made.

Mystic River.
October 30th, 2014 at 2:49 AM ^
Mystic River is underrated? It won 2 Oscars (Sean Penn, Tim Robbins), was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
October 30th, 2014 at 3:43 AM ^
When I talk to people almost no one has heard about it. So I guess I should categorize it as "not well enough known" for such a high quality film :)
October 30th, 2014 at 10:19 AM ^
I was like, "Maybe because it's an older 80's film? Although I didn't remember Sean Penn and Tim Robbins being in it, or it getting all those Oscar nominations..."
And then I realized I was thinking of Mystic Pizza (which, to be fair, is in Mystic, CT which itself is by the Mystic River)

or a Mystic Pizza River... mmmm... pizza river...
October 30th, 2014 at 1:01 PM ^
is underrated because while it received nearly universal acclaim upon its release, there has been a recent, fairly substantial, push back against it and particularly the ending. I think the last scene in the movie between Jimmy and his wife was a little misguided as the relationship between him and his wife had not been adequately explored for it to make much sense. Shame actually, because other than that, I thought it was brilliant, Eastwood's best if you ask me.

October 30th, 2014 at 2:51 AM ^
Silver Linings Playbook was nominated for Best Picture and 7 other Acadamy Awards. It's not underrated.
October 30th, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
but still an unexpectedly fun and entertaining film with a football connotation. Has become a favorite of mine, especially because of Jennifer Lawrence's performance.
October 30th, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
Yeah, she was great in that. I didn't expect to like it, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

I used to watch that movie several times a week as a kid.
Thrashing was another that I watched way too much of.

Ok guys. Let's stop throwing out movies that were nominated for multiple Academy or Golden Globe Awards.
October 30th, 2014 at 2:57 AM ^
Or are above 70-80% on Rotten Tomatoes.
October 30th, 2014 at 9:45 AM ^
like movies that won 11 Oscars and five Golden Globes? Movies such as Ben-Hur?

Memento is not underrated. It gets 92% on rotten tomatoes. I've never met a person who saw Memento and didn't like it. It flew under the radar, but it's not underrated.

City of God!!!
October 30th, 2014 at 3:02 AM ^
City of God is widely lauded as one of the greatest foreign films ever made. It is amazing. It may not be well-known to some, but it is far from underrated.
