Babe: Pig in the City

Almost no one has seen this movie, and it's incredible. Siskel & Ebert's #1 of 1998.

harsh times, layer cake, children of men (don't know too many ppl that have seen that 1)

Criticker.com has underrated and overrated tags now (depending on the discrepancy between user and critic reviews), and I love that.

11/26/2007 4:26:02 PM

Interstate 60

The Island

11/26/2007 4:28:48 PM

Children of Men was motherfucking terrible

11/26/2007 4:29:40 PM

11/26/2007 4:32:43 PM

there are too many people in this world who haven't watched the big lebowski hundreds of times

and that makes me sad

i dont think top secret! gets enough credit as being a very funny spoof movie. i know people that love naked gun that have never even heard of top secret, which is sad

11/26/2007 6:10:05 PM

i know it won an oscar, but i still think shawshank redemption doesn't get enough dap

11/26/2007 6:11:33 PM

^that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. it's like every pseudo-film-buff's favorite movie.

11/26/2007 6:13:42 PM

guess i don't have very many pseudo-film-buff friends

11/26/2007 6:15:08 PM

It's kind of a spoiler, but I've used a description of the city in Pig in the City to get people to watch it before, so here's a screenshot:

The House of Yes

if I was to tell you that there is a good movie with both Tori Spelling and Freddie Prinze Jr. and that they do an excellent job acting

you would call me crazy

...

of course, it stars Parker Posey, and that's always ultra-cool

...

you want to watch a kick ass film?

watch this

You have HORRIBLE taste in movies. Jesus Christ. I mean, you have Children of Men[i], one of the best films of 2006, and from a production standpoint one of the finest examples of the craft of filmmaking ever brought to screen. You have this contrasted with [i]The Illusionist, an abomination of a film that was so bad it gave me cancer of the aids of the leukemia, not to mention the fact that it came out almost concurrently with The Prestige, a film with similar subject matter that entirely blew it out of the water.

11/26/2007 7:37:10 PM

Children of Men was an awesome movie.

There was some crazy movie I saw a few years ago about these kids in high school who go around killing each other, and at the end they try to blow up the school. It was pretty fucked up but it was a really good movie, but I've never heard of anybody talk about it and I never knew the name, so I'd say that counts as underrated. It looked like it came out in the 80s.


Hilarious blaxploitation film, yes it is real. It's like a super fucked up Blazing Saddles.

^ I agree. The Illusionist was pretty much instantly forgettable and the storyline was whack. I actually bought CoM (and I hardly EVER buy movies). CoM had some of the best steady-cam shots I had seen recently in a film (notably the car scene with the motorcycle and when they are running through the city/prison)

And lastly,


It's not the fucking Godfather, but it was really entertaining.

I'll have to say, I was looking forward to children of men, but when I saw it, I was disappointed.
