EXCELLENT recommendation. The Cincinnati kid. Great stuff.

How about Welcome To Hard Times? Charles Bronson in a period piece of 30's depression America.
Is that the one where he plays a street boxer?

I am not sure how one determines whether a film is over- or underrated, but if it counts as a low rating if you have never heard anyone talk about a film, "Tuvalu" qualifies. Very bizarre and funny. Another film nobody seems to know (I don't know if it has ever been shown outside Germany), but which I thought was brilliant, is "Verrückt bleiben, verliebt bleiben", probably the best documentary I have ever seen ( http://www.german-cinema.de/app/filmarchive/film_view.php?film_id=168 ).

I assumed we were using those terms as a joke.

Right... In that case I'd say "Tuvalu" and "Verrückt bleiben, verliebt bleiben" are overrated, or as HoH would say, overated.

Call it "Mind the Gap" then, that should be easier. 🙂

Zardoz, Sean Connery, I think highly underrated.
I saw this movie when I was kid and liked it. Maybe I'll try to catch it again. I remember that the wizard of oz angle really surprised me.

So over-rated. At least around here it is. Just a nomal movie that goes backwards.

My take goes to Matrix Reloaded. And that just because of the Merovingian's dialogues. Pure gold!
