underrated movies

just movies you think people would like...not the best, just ones you like

-antitrust. not the best movie but pretty fun for what it is-would appeal to the computer saavy out there. it's about a computer programmer who gets hired to a huge company who he finds out is crooked.

-dog day afternoon. wouldn't be underrated to fans of pacino or lumet but i figure alot of people who like al pacino or movies like this or even have seen scarface too many times might like this. it's based on a true story about a guy who is holed up in a bank for a day after a botched robbery attempt.

-escape from new york. most people here understandably probably havn't seen this-alot of people who seen the sequel, escape from LA because it was newer, had alot more of a marketing push and a bigger budget. though i've always felt escape from new york was better. a really fun post-apacolyptic type of thriller about a criminal who is assigned the task of rescuing the president from new york, which in the future has been turned into a city-sized free roaming island prison. laot of the influence for the metal gear games came from this.

-the ninth gate. a johnny depp movie about a man in search of a book that will raise the devil. great acting, great writing, great cinematography, it's sort of an acquired taste but if you like the polanski feel of movies you'll love this. plus it's depp, so it takes alot to be bad.

-pi. a relatively new black and white movie(ie; clerks) about a •••ish math genius who while trying to figure out the mathmatical constant behind the stock market, stumbles upon the number in the center of the meaning of the •••ish religion. sounds complicated but it's very good.

-sol goode. a very underrated, unheard of comedy but it's really well done. it doesn't feel unheard of at all-it feels like it could be a real famous movie. plus it has katharine towne, who is about as hot as it gets. it's about a young aspiring-actor who is coming to grips with life.

i'll add more later if i remember any...
