Good call.

This answer won't apply here as much as it will among the general population:

The Big Lebowski

[pshreck]

Black Sheep. Its the movie everyone loves to say 'sucks compared to Tommy Boy', but they both made me laugh my ass off equally.

Please dont turn it into one of those threads where people dont post underrated movies. Look at reviews and imdb scores and dvd sales and rentals for this movie. ITS NOT UNDERRATED BY ANYONE.

That's why these threads suck (except they should rock) because unfortunately there's a lot of posters who just lack a certain comprehension of common sense when it comes to the general perception of things. (Clayton this isn't an insult)

[Drunk Bob]

The funniest,low-budget movie of all time must be "The Gods Must Be Crazy".

Zoolander

Gotta be one of my top 5 comedies of all time. Does this count as underated enough indie?

This one is clearly not a HUGE success, but I still think its a stretch to call this underrated.

[ClaytonN]

No offense taken. I don't know the 'acclaim' of certain moves that are 5+ years old or older. I just based it off of personal experiences back then, and back then people I knew thought Half Baked sucked.

How about a give another...

Office Space /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I feel like people either love or hate Zoolander (I love it)...I think enough people love it that it can't really be called "underrated."

"The Gods Must Be Crazy".

Nope and compared to all the previous and subsequent Farrelly Brothers movies, this one is not slapstick enough to get the immature crowd. When it's easily their best flick.

I thought Tommy Boy was a pretty big success. I could be wrong, though, it was a while ago. I thought Spaceballs got bad reviews, I loved it. If it's not underrated, sorry.

Tommy Boy is well regarded.

Spaceballs was a huge success and is perfectly rated in the pantheon of comedies.


PCU might fit the bill.

Super Troopers is slowly becoming known for how brilliant it is. But the masses still haven't caught on; this was similar to the first 2 years Office Space was out.

Pushing Tin is another one as is Grosse Pointe Blank.

Airheads is another good one.

I don't think this movie was underrated in it's time... but you guys are young punks and since it doesn't seem to be widely talked about these days I guess it qualifies (although I didn't enjoy the movie much myself).

[IndieMatty]

I'm 27. My grandmom took me to see it in the theatres. It was acclaimed, but not a box office success and it's never on TV to boot.

[Uston]

Based solely on IMDB ratings, I'm voting for Blue Streak.

[hoopsie44]

Anybody like " What About Bob" ? I hated it, my girlfriend thought it was the funniest movie she ever saw.

[Drunk Bob]

For all you Young uns: This movie revolved around a Bushman in South Africa who finds a Coke@ bottle thrown out of an airplane and his attempt to resolve the strange object with his religion.

The final scene is both funny and sad.

[mmbt0ne]

Toy Story

Ok, just kidding. Strange Brew

[DeezNuts]

Dude, Where's My Car.

I laughed my ass off in this movie. I was really, really high, though. That probably contributed quite a bit.

What About Bob? is hilarious.

[CarlSpackler]

Being John Malkovich (probably butchered his name) – I never hear anyone talk about this movie and it’s simply brilliant (the 7 ½ floor)

Bachelor Party – Came out in the early 80’s and is probably Tom Hanks finest performance to date. You definitely need to watch the unedited version, though.

[wayabvpar]

Big Trouble in Little China. Don't hear much about it these days, but it is fuggin' hilarious. And campy fun too.

Strange Brew rocked. much better choice than best in show.

Foul Play. Late 70's movie with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn. This movie has been cracking me up since I was a kid. America's favorite midget, Billy Bartly, and Dudley Moore, as a disco era playboy, both tear it up in their small roles.

Ah yes, I even remember reading that post last week. Happy bday.

As far as underrated comedies, I've always liked Slapshot with Paul Newman and the Hanson brothers and hardly anyone I know has ever heard of it.

Fairly recent, and although borderline teen-drama, I thought "Saved" was hilarious.

Great movie, not sure about it being underrated. The only reason I saw it during its theater run was because of the critical acclaim.

Highly recommended.

(and sad, yup, what a statement on human nature)

[querulous]

Dunno how rated it is, but 'Bring It On' is possibly my favorite movie of the last decade. Also fantastic: '24 Hour Party People'

[billyjex]

What's that one movie with the politician who gets all ghetto? Bulworth or something? I thought that was funny.
