Box Office Forums's "Most under-appreciated films of the 2000s". Reveal starting now

[grim22]

First off, thanks everyone for sending in your lists. Since there were no consensus picks (apart from the top 5-7 movies),the numbers 6-25 could have all easily switched places based on 2-3 more people voting for them, but the top 5 were on 6-8 lists, and number one seemed to be on a large majority of the lists.

 

I will reveal the movies as and when I find the time, been pretty pressed for time the past week due to travel and work.

 

So let's get started.

#25:

 

REIGN OF FIRE

 

 

 

 

Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale fighting dragons. If released in summer 2014, this movie would easily open big and earn a lot at the box office. Someone should ready a re-release

BRUNO

 

 

 

 

 

Bruno was the follow-up movie to Borat, and was probably the first movie to crash on OW due to the negative word of mouth spreading on twitter. 

[iceroll]

People actually liked Bruno?  As if Borat wasn't bad enough...

 

And I've never heard of Reign of Fire so maybe it is unappreciated

Spoiler for those who have not seen the film

[Films]

I hated bruno. Yuck

[ChD]

Never seen Reign of Fire, but Bruno... how? why? when?

[a2k]

Surf's Up

Released between Shrek 3 and Ratatouille. No one gave a hoot. Was great imo.

[Jake Gittes]

I recall Bruno being pretty hilarious. Gotta watch it again sometime, Borat too.

[Ozymandias]

I recall Bruno being pretty hilarious. Gotta watch it again sometime, Borat too.

 

Both were unforgettable theatrical experiences for me on their ODs with a packed house.

[baumer]

I liked Reign of Fire, Bruno, not so much.

23.

 

SPACE COWBOYS

 

 

 

Plot: When a retired engineer is called upon to rescue a failing satellite, he insists that his equally old teammates accompany him into space.

 

I remember liking this movie when it was released just based on the concept. Haven't watched it in a while, may have to rewatch it to see if it holds up to the movie I remember.

[Dementeleus]

Aw yeah, SPACE COWBOYS! That was a fun little movie. Great Heinlein-esque ending.

CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND

 

 

 

Plot: An adaptation of the cult memoir of game show impresario Chuck Barris, in which he purports to have been a CIA hitman.

 

Directed by George Clooney and starring Sam Rockwell, both of whom will appear again on this list. This struck me as a pretty offbeat movie back when it was released, I watched it again recently and it definitely holds up well. 

[Jawa]

Other than Bruno (awesome film), I haven't seen any of these movies, so I guess they are pretty under-appreciated.

[Films]

Really hope Clooney's on the list for Fantastic Mr Fox

 

And the Sam Rockwell film i'm sure will be moon but hoping it's G-Force

Funny you should mention that

 

 

#21.

 

TOY STORY 3

 

 

 

Plot: Like you don't know.

 

Please feel free to blame Films for this movie ending up on the list. We live in a world where a movie which is 99% on RT and 8.5 on IMDB and over a Billion dollars WW gross is under-appreciated.

TOY STORY 3

 

 

 

Plot: Like you don't know.

 

Please feel free to blame Films for this movie ending up on the list. We live in a world where a movie which is 99% on RT [should be 100%] and 8.5 [should be 10/10] on IMDB is under-appreciated.

 

 

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. JUSTICE IS RESTORED. IM AT PEACE AND SO ARE THE TOYS. YAY. SO HAPPY. YES YES YES   :)
