Most Underrated film

Inspired by Zoiders



The Deaths of Ian Stone

Perhaps an odd choice, but: Easy Rider. Mainly because it isn't the film many who think it's really cool or who haven't actually watched it recently, think it is. It isn't a hippy drugged-out daydream, it's a slow building nightmare of the failure of the dream of the 60s, which ends in perfunctory and pointless violence.

Alien Autopsy... And and Dec are dreadful with their 'lets pretend to be Morecambe and Wise' approach to acting, but apart from the two lead actors the story is excellent.

As with MontyVeda, I am prepared to be shot down for this selection.

I hugely enjoyed a comedy called Office Space - which I picked up several years ago from blockbusters with no idea what it was about and little optimism.

I don't know if it my lack of expectations, or whether the film was genuinely good but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe it struck a chord with the idiocies and tiresomeness of office life.

I also had never heard of it before, and when I mention it to other people, they have never heard of it either.

That's a good one.

Boss to minion: "You seem to have been missing quite a bit of work recently."

I saw a film at college film society that was called "Turkish Delight" (not "Turks Fruit") but it seems the real title was "The Sensualist". I was at Sunderland Poly 75 - 78 saw the film would have been reasonably new for a film soc. I remember it was a bit racy at the start but that a lot of the porn and violence were fantasy sequences or flashbacks.

It's great - it's by Mike Judge who made Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill. If you liked this you should see his Idiocracy, which for the first half at least is one of the best and funniest pieces of satire of contemporary America ever made. The second half lets it down rather, but it's worth seeing.

I loved Idiocracy.
