I don't know if I'd call any move that won multiple major awards and was nominated for multiple Oscars as "underrated". It got TONS of buzz when it first came out and everyone I knew watched it during that time. Plenty of my friends disliked it, but that's because they think movies like John Wick are the pinnacle of movie making lol.

Lost in Translation is a great addition to this thread.

There are a lot of movies worth mentioning. But this one was the first that came to my mind. It just kills me every time. Rouke is outstanding in this one.



Wouldn't say it's underrated. It got 2 oscar nominations, had a budget of 6 mio. and made about 44 mio. so it was comercially successfull. But I don't know if there was a buzz around this movie when it was released.

A few more movies worth mentioning:

Grave of the fireflys
Warrior
Leaving Las Vegas
The Road
The Elephant Man
Shame
Life is beautiful
A Monster Calls

HUGE buzz, I remember very well.

I remember it being like the only thing people talked about for a couple years.

Ye only dog movies get me, I think fluke was another

the one and only ivan on Disney plus
It was a pretty good movie for a Disney movie

Hardball - Keanu ver
A Walk to Remember
Finding Neverland

A few good ones for me

Agree for The Wrestler.

There is one i would add : Galveston (adapted from a Nic Pizzolatto novel, screenplayer of True Detective S1)
First direction for french Mélanie Laurent, two great performances from Elle Fanning and Ben Foster ... during all the movie, you feel something will turn wrong much more than the rest ...
THIS is an underrated movie imo ! i highly recommand it to you
