Good movie, I liked it, but it's not for most people. Too much philosophy and not enough guns and superheros. http://youtu.be/2eOLOmCjRPY
The Phantom menace As for Katie's ghost....I can't say you are wrong. I mean it does take one to know one.
Heaven's Gate was a box office flop, but I am in minority group that likes it. Actually I did not like Michael Cimino's two previous films that much. The Deer Hunter I considered overrated. I thought the two scenes after the battle should have been replaced with monochrome stills . http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080855/
~Brick ~Sunshine ~The Fountain ~Munich ~A History Of Violence ~In Bruges ~The Good Shepherd ~The Machinist: Christian Bale lost so much weight to play this role. It made me cringe watching it. ~Looper and these are the other two that I've watched this year: The Invitation, They Look Like People and Circle ((2015)) <<<Don't mistake this for The Circle w/ Tom Hanks and Emma Watson.
To each their own I reckon. I think The Deer Hunter is one of the best movies ever. Definitely in my All Time Top 20. I'm not sure if there's enough war action in it to call it a war movie. I don't think so. Most of the war scenes in the DH were the ones where they were forced to play Russian roulette by their gook captors. Intense! Top Five intense scenes of all time. Easy. But when I think about, say, best Vietnam movies ever, I don't usually include Deer Hunter. Rather, I go with full on war movies like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and Apocalypse Now.
I love gangster movies. Stuff like The Godfather..... Goodfellas....and The Departed. So I can say one of the most underrated movies ever, and probably THE MOST underrated gangster movie was the Coen Bros. Miller's Crossing. Why it didn't far better at the box office I don't know. I think it's a classic. Easily good enough to have won a Best Picture Oscar. I think it's better than The Godfather. Here is a great scene from it. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/W2YPsfwSPGg
So I went to a movie being shown in person by the directer John Putch. The Movie was The Father and the Bear. Now John Putch is the son of Jean Stapleton, Edith on the legendary TV show All in the Family. Stapleton lived near here and she and John were acting members at a local theater managed by Stapleton's husband. Puch has acted on TV and in movies and has directed a number of TV shows and movies including the 2005 version of the Poseiden Adventure. Lately he has made three award winning low budget comedy films in the Lancaster, PA area. Called Route 30, Route 30, Too, and Route 30, Three. I haven't seen them, but here's a trailer for Route 30. The guy at the beginning is Dom Deluise's son. http://youtu.be/GgN7jRWC-5c The Father and the Bear is a drama about dementia, which Jean Stapleton suffered from before her death. Here's the trailer if anyone is interested. It's free on the net and other places. The biggest actor in the film was Robert Picardo, the holo doctor from Star Trek: Voyager It was pretty cool, there were only about a 100 of us at the showing, plus a woman I worked with was an extra and did a photo shoot of the production. It was neat talking to a real movie and TV directer.

a few of the coens films i think burn after reading was better than people said it was same goes for the hudsucker proxy adaptation and much of charlie kaufmans (?) films are underrated by the public, maybe not so critically and a lot of british films... dead mans shoes was thought provoking this is england... because it's limited appeal due to its overt britishness i understand why they haven't wider appeal, so maybe not underrated per say, but to me its a shame they can't translate more broadly.
