- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsMel GibsonJodie FosterJames GarnerBret Maverick, needing money for a poker tournament, faces various comic mishaps and challenges, including a charming woman thief.Has there been a more entertaining western in the last 30 years?
I'd much rather watch this than Unforgiven every day of the week.
Also...has Jodie Foster been this good in any movie since Silence of the Lambs?
Don't bother answering, I checked. The answer is NO. - DirectorPhil JoanouStarsCasey SiemaszkoAnnie RyanRichard TysonA nerd gets himself in hot water with the new bully, a quiet bad boy who challenges him to fight on the grounds of their high school after the day's end.When people talk 80's teen movies, they mention Bueller's, Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink.
Well, anybody who's seen this one knows it meets or exceeds ALL OF THEM. You could make the case it is the SEMINAL 80's teen movie. It has aged THAT well. - DirectorDavid WainStarsPaul RuddSeann William ScottElizabeth BanksWild behavior forces a pair of energy drink reps to enroll in a Big Brother program.Was way funnier than The Hangover, which came out around the same time. Ken Jeong was in both, but he was 100 times funnier here.
If you want to argue about this, post in the comments. I will give you 100 reasons why Hangover sucked in comparison. - DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsRon PerlmanSelma BlairDoug JonesA prince of the mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth. Hellboy and his team must fight to stop him from locating the all-powerful Golden Army.This came out the same Summer as The Dark Knight. It was a better movie all the way around. Hilarious. And creative as hell. Ron Perlman DESTROYS Christian Bale.
Del Toro is on record as saying that the third Hellboy would cost a fortune to produce. Well...Pacific Rim cost a fortune and it barely eclipsed Hellboy 2 at the box office. Having seen Pacific Rim, I can say I wish they'd just completed the hellboy trilogy instead. - DirectorStuart BairdStarsKurt RussellHalle BerrySteven SeagalWhen terrorists seize control of an airliner, an intelligence analyst accompanies a commando unit for a midair boarding operation.Kurt Russell in his later years, but was he ever any better? Without question the best Steven Segal movie ever. Either in spite of or because he died in the first 20 minutes. Your choice.
- DirectorHal NeedhamStarsBurt ReynoldsJan-Michael VincentSally FieldAging Hollywood stuntman Sonny Hooper wants to prove that he's still got what it takes to be a great professional in this risky, under-recognized line of work.People talk up Smokey and the Bandit,but this one's better. I don't think Burt Reynolds produced a more entertaining comedy. The seminal Hollywood stuntman movie.
p.s. Director Hal Needham is considered by many to be the greatest stuntman EVER and many consider this movie to be semi-autobiographical and his most personal film. RIP, Needham. - DirectorDean ParisotStarsTim AllenSigourney WeaverAlan RickmanThe alumni cast of a space opera television series have to play their roles as the real thing when an alien race needs their help. However, they also have to defend both Earth and the alien race from a reptilian warlord.Is there a greater comedy that so few people know about?
If I ever get around to a list of underrated comic actors, Tim Allen will be on it. People forget...he's good! - DirectorMichael BayStarsSean ConneryNicolas CageEd HarrisA mild-mannered chemist and an ex-con must lead the counterstrike when a rogue group of military men, led by a renegade general, threaten a nerve gas attack from Alcatraz against San Francisco.Michael Bay can make ten more Transformer movies, and he will never top this.
Based just on this, one might think Bay was destined for greatness... - DirectorLewis GilbertStarsRoger MooreBarbara BachCurd JürgensJames Bond investigates the hijacking of British and Russian submarines carrying nuclear warheads, with the help of a K.G.B. agent whose lover he killed.Hmm....name the best James Bond film of the last 40 years.
Roger Moore...love him or hate him...The Spy Who Loved Me earns that distinction.
Say it with me...UNDERRATED. - DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.People kind of hate on this movie because of the Ewoks.
Well...it also has Jabba the Hut...the desert skiffs...Yoda...the Rancor...pretty much the best space battle of ALL of the Star Wars films...Boba Fett...hmmm...is this the BEST Star Wars movie?!
Probably not...but the fact that people think some of the prequels are better says enough.
UNDERRATED.
