  - never seen it, added it -- nm - colin May 4, 12:33
Breaker Morant -- nm - crash davis 😺 May 4, 12:17
I wouldn't say Where'd You Go Bernadette as a whole but its final scene + end credits might be my favorite. - Max May 4, 12:12
City Hall. Should be better known, despite its flaws. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 4, 12:11
Josie and The Pussyhats. -- nm - Qale May 4, 12:06
Charlie Wilson's War -- nm - David May 4, 12:05
Watchmen -- nm - budice May 4, 11:59 14
- RT 65%, $107m BO. But I think it counts, given how unfairly lambasted it is. -- nm* - Beryllium May 4, 12:02
- this is a great answer. (imo the best comic book adaption of all time) -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:00 12
  - Except for, you know, the end. -- nm - Spawn Solo May 4, 12:03 6
    - Which worked perfectly for the movie. I liked that the TV show showed the comic ending quite a bit. -- nm - Remlik May 4, 12:11
    - I have no issues with that. Some things would be silly to adapt. Specifically a giant squid beast destroying NYC. -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:05 3
      - This is something I really liked about the miniseries. They leaned into the silliness of that plan. - Beryllium May 4, 12:06 1
        
        the mini series was also spectacular. I still cant believe Josh Hawley played himself in that. :P -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:12
      - I thought the HBO show actually handled it not bad, but had zero problem with the movie switch. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 4, 12:06
    - It would have been more fun and less dour to keep the original ending. heh. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 12:03
  - ah, but you're forgetting about Richie Rich. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 12:02 4
    - hehe. I just will never understand the Watchmen hate. Its almost perfect. -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:03 3
      - It's worth it even just for Rorschach. - Beryllium May 4, 12:05 2
        
        just perfect casting -- nm - Jovian May 4, 12:11 1
        
        agreed -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 4, 12:14
Rules of Attraction based on viewings, Annihilation might eventually get there -- nm - JD May 4, 11:58
Breathe - For some reason people don't like Hollywood tearjerkers anymore. -- nm - Inigo May 4, 11:55 1
- too much sadness every day? -- nm - loosilu May 4, 11:58
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension -- nm - Spawn Solo May 4, 11:55
Trying to come up with objective criteria for underrated. Thinking below 60% at Rotten Tomatoes and less than $20M at the box office. -- nm - Dano May 4, 11:52 6
- Oh, that rules out Dude Where's My Car? -- nm - Roger More May 4, 12:09
- I'll go with Let It Ride. -- nm - Inigo May 4, 12:01 1
  - Good answer -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 May 4, 13:32
- Its funny. I was then about to throw Lucy in based on this criteria... But nope, this movie almost gross half a billion worldwide. And 66% fresh. -- (edited) - Jovian May 4, 11:58
- hmm, the box office metric throws my suggestion out the window (somehow it earned $49m) -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:54 1
  - okay, Hackers it is, then -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:55
