Sugar and Spice. Came out not even six months after Bring It On, and with the exception of Roger Ebert, was mostly trashed. Nobody got it. It wasn't supposed to be a cheerleading movie; it's a black comedy, and an incredibly underrated one to boot! I saw Death Proof a week ago, and that's an underrated gem, too. What I love is that drooling fanboys who profess to be QT fans hate this one, and I love that, because they don't really get it. |

The Burbs Quote:
*** I have always felt The Burbs did not get a fair shake. It stars Oscar winner Tom Hanks for chrissakes,  Carrie Fischer is his wife (still looking not bad here)  and his buddies are Bruce Dern and Ric Duccomun. Just pretend Corey Feldman isn't there and you'll be OK.  The bad guys are Henry Gibson, Brother Theodore  and some freaky Pinnochio mutant.  Age has not made Courtney Gaines any less freaky looking...  Henry Gibson alone makes this movie. "Ahh, we have guests. Excuse my blood."  Let's see what else- great Jerry Goldsmith theme music, creepy neighbors who are CANNIBALS, Mr Rogers, satanic cultists  people falling off roofs and power poles, a dog names Landru,   explosions and some pretty goddamn funny dialog. Oh yeah, Wendy Schall is hot.  (Here she is in some from another flick) Here's the fansite I got most of the pics from. http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Studio/3875/didyou2.html  -In closing, this is a great beer, bong and pizza flick that is worth a second watch. Underrated! |

Love Phantom of the Paradise, I have the LP and dressed up as the Phantom as a kid. Way better than Kiss's Phantom of the Park. |

| Zebra 3 | Except for Winnipeg, Canada, Phantom of the Paradise ('74) didn't get a fair shake when first released. | |

| Sacks | No love for The Phantom? | |

| Zomboid | Yeah, steel is wretched on a level all it's own. I kinda liked spawn, shadow and judge dredd, though. | |

To say that Steel is on par with Spawn and the Shadow is misleading at the very least. But who doesn't love movies based on Marvel characters? |

| J. Tithonus Pednaud | ^ Yes, exactly. Not to mention The Phantom, Captain America, Black Scorpion, Judge Dredd, The Guyver, The Shadow, and Spawn. All crappy on some level yet fun to watch. | |

| J. Tithonus Pednaud | Ha! I was just thinking about that movie the other day. Found my old VHS copy of Blankman and was rattling off all the weird superhero movies from the mid 90's - during the first little boom. | |

| WhiteRat | Adventures of Pluto Nash. Quite possibly Eddie Murphy's finest performance, but sadly it goes unrecognized. | |

| Fathom Zero | Strange Days never got a fair shake. | |

| Supafly345 | Unbreakable had a fair shake, but its still underappreciated. | |

I regret trading in my copy of Falling Down to get Trick or Treat. I enjoy Trick or Treat a lot, but Falling Down is a good ass movie. |

| Grislygus | Falling Down was awesome. I liked how they caught you completely off-guard with the humorous bits. | |

| Fathom Zero | The Thirteenth Floor I saw today on FX is a good one and it reminded me of another, eXistenZ. | |

I second that...I remember expecting nothing of it when I walked into the theater and being impressed. I really liked Crash (1995), and that didn't really get a fair shake. Though I like twisted films. Kissed, about necrophilia, was another film no one saw due to the subject matter, but it was a really great and moving film. A couple other movies include Strange Days, and Gattaca. I just saw Zathura today, that was a fun throw away film... |

| ArrowX | Falling Down was a fucking awesome movie but most people don't remember it much less pass around the word about how fucking awesome it is. Easily one of Michael Douglas's best performances. | |

| Fathom Zero | I can't quite read what you said through the small print on my PSP, but In The Mouth of Madness is a good'un. | |

| ArrowX | Relic, fun monster flick from the 90's that got friggin thrashed but I love it. I'm pretty sure the Korean flick HOST stole the monsters design from Relic as well. | |
