Movies that never got a fair shake.

[Miss Modular]

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.

That's a pretty decent movie, I didn't know it was severely edited though.

[Fathom Zero]

My dad took me to see it when I was nine. Scared doesn't even begin to describe what I was.

Hahaha, from what I hear, Grindhouse never got a fair shake. I told all my friends they should see it, but they want to see Hot Fuzz instead. Not that Hot Fuzz is gonna be a bad movie or anything.

I completely agree. Fantastic crime movie with an equally good soundtrack

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Equilibrium never got a fair shake.

[Fathom Zero]

I remember seeing a lot of it because my friend is a homo for Christian Bale.

I just saw this tonight and it's still a solid movie; The House on Haunted Hill remake didn't get a fair shake.

[Zomboid]

'Cause it sucks. I have the original with vincent price (I think) on one of those bargain dvds with 3 classic movies on em. I remember it being pretty good and saw it years after I saw the remake.

Also, the 13th warrior does kick a whole lot of ass. I don't know why so many people seem to hate it.

[kahljorn]

you know what's a good movie and i don't know ab out fair shakes or whatever but it's called, "Primer" and it's probably not very popular but it's what i would consider a "realistic depiction" of time travel.

[JohnBoy]

Ernest Borgnine is the original Viking action hero. ODIN!!!!!!!

[kahljorn]

so did anybody watch Primer yet

[Grislygus]

Fuck yes. Watched that about a year back. WAY too smart for me.

[Protoclown]

I never understood all the hate for the 13th Warrior either. I remember when I went to go see it in the theater and coming out thinking that it fucking kicked ass, and then I found out that this friend of mine was telling people that it sucked and not to waste your time and money, and it was then that I knew I must fell him in mortal combat.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Shaun of the Dead. Anyone I ask if they like it say they hate it. I loved it.

[Grislygus]

Shaun of the Dead is absolutely adored. You just live in a dangerous, crime-infested, culturally deficient rapetown, if I remember correctly.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

You did.

I need to get the hell out of here.

[Sam]

You really do.

Need.

To get the hell out of here.

[AChimp]

13th Warrior was sweet, but I never understood why one of the Vikings was wearing armour from a conquistador other than for pure awesome.

That big dude yelling "ODIN" to hear echos from shore

[ArrowX]

Lone Wolf McQuade. No I'm not one of those giant Chuck Norris Fans but I'll be god damned if that movie isn't entertaining.

Also DragonHeart.

[Grislygus]

Fuck the rest of the human race. I liked Walker.

[kahljorn]

I've mentioned this is another thread before but event horizon totally didn't get a fair shake
i mean there were only one in that where i was like "wtf the decompression would've killed you whateverguysnameisicantrememberisn'titsamsomething ?" "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGG SAMMMM"

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.

[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]

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.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

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...
