Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
Maybe not completely underrated, but people are giving it too much crap.

Maybe for good reason??
I personally wouldn't know as I've never seen. Though in my experience and opinion, if a film has bad consumer reviews (note, I mentioned 'consumer', not film critic), then it might at times refer to the idea that it isn't really all as hot as the trailers make the films out as.

Oh, oh. Better use LINUX.
I disagree. People are sheep.
They wanted the movie to be the same as the first part, but if the sequel would of been the same no one would still be satisfied.
It has nothing to do with trailer or false impressions. People should compare the today's crap movie gallery and good movies that are worth watching like one I mentioned above. It won a Oscar for God's sake.
The first one was brilliant movie. Other two not so much, but still satisfying. I wouldn't call them crap, cuz I did go watch them in cinema, maybe a little too hard to understand at first.
the first one was decent/good, others kept repeating the same old with increasingly bizarre situations and decreasingly inspired scriptwriters/actors/directors, failing to be even moderately satisfactory

I never stated that Oscar is a guideline for being good. And I disagree with your logic, any guideline people might follow would make them sheep then.
Oscar is awarded to movies for being best at some criteria. What I was talking about is that movie is good, while people give it shit because they are ignorant.
Also I despise the fuss about Oscars being meaningless. I've heard lots of people saying "a different movie should of won", but I have never heard people saying "the movie didn't deserve a Oscar.
They are rating given by certain people, where is choice to be made there are always going to be disagreements.
exaggerating things won't make your arguments 'hold more water'any guideline people might follow would make them sheep then.

you sure about that?I have never heard people saying "the movie didn't deserve a Oscar.
in fact, i'd agree on that last part (on a more fundamental level of perception):
- everything they got was deserved
- proof: 'it happened'
- now try expanding that idea onto everything else that happens anywhere else
- to quote another movie: 'can you dig it'?
qualified personnel or experts to be exact - sheeple don't question their decisions and/or the pre-arranged set of choices and/or ...They are rating given by certain people
Sometimes movies don't deserve an Oscar. I look at it this way in explaining that statement. Film critics aren't entirely independent of peer pressures and current trends. Film critics and/or reviewers at times need to take into consideration their relationships with actors and directors. That is if they want to get easy access to more reviews (hint...$$$$$) in the future. Supply enough positive reviews and the sheep will follow. So will the Oscars and so does the money.
As a side note (or question more so), why the statement that people are ignorant when they give it shit?? If I might ask, ignorant in what way??
Ignorance with respect to a lack of knowledge base on how to review/what to say over a film?? If you agree with that, then I would disagree with you. (Notice I bolded and underscored the word 'If' as you'll have to ensure whether or not I was reading you correctly). Who's to say that non-professional reviewers are the ones that are ignorant and don't know how to review a film and hence give it 'shit'?? Again, you'll have to tell me if I was reading you correctly or not when you made that statement.

I watched this movie caught Caught Inside one day and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely underrated.
The Boat That Rocked.
Please watch it. It deserves the popularity!
I can't agree or disagree because my reaction after the credits rolled was this.
Same with Donnie Darko, and I watched the director's cut which is supposed to tell you what the hell is going on. As for the titular question...
- Sneakers (1992) - the plot involves the NSA, encryption and computers... two decades before the Snowden leaks.
- True Romance (1993) - written (but not directed) by Tarantino and it shows. A love story that guys can also watch!
- Voices of a Distant Star (2002) - it's anime and pretty short (25 minutes) so it may not count, but I liked it a lot. Has high allegorical potential.
Alright, not sure the first two are underrated, but they didn't exactly make hundreds of millions or win several Oscars Nor do they have people referencing and talking about them to this day unlike say, Fight Club or The Matrix, which in my opinion is the real "proof" of success for a movie.

Treasure Planet for sure, this movie has great moral value, touching songs, ah john rzeznik was singing for the theme song.

Really top notch existential tale with the aid of using Hal Hartley (IMO the maximum underrated/unappreciated unbiased director of our time). Solid performances from the cast (which with the aid of using the manner is pretty fantastic for the sort of small-time director), however the spotlight is truly Hartley's script.
