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

[Jawa]

I had AOTC at #1, ROTS at #10, and probably would have had TPM on there, except it technically didn't come out in the 2000s.

[baumer]

I hear LOTR, TITANIC and JAWS are very under rated as well.

WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY

 

 

 

 

 

PLOT: The up-and-down-and-up-again story of musician Dewey Cox, whose songs would change a nation. On his rock 'n roll spiral, Cox sleeps with 411 women, marries three times, has 36 kids, stars in his own 70s TV show, collects friends ranging from Elvis to the Beatles to a chimp, and gets addicted to - and then kicks - every drug known to man; but despite it all, Cox grows into a national icon and eventually earns the love of a good woman - longtime backup singer Darlene. 

 

 

Haven't seen the movie, so no comments.

EUROTRIP

 

 

 

PLOT: Ohio high school student Scott Thomas is a good student and nice guy - albeit a little predictable - who is about to graduate and go into pre-med. He is unceremoniously dumped by his whorish girlfriend Fiona on graduation day. Among the people he turns to in his hour of despair is his German pen pal, Mike. Scott and Mike seem to have a special connection. After Mike makes advances to Scott now that he and Fiona are not seeing each other, Scott abruptly sends Mike a message saying he never wants to hear from him again. However, Scott learns shorty thereafter that Mike is actually a beautiful girl named Mieke. By this time, Mieke has blocked his messages. Thinking that Mieke is actually who he was meant to be with, Scott, impulsively for a change, decides to go to Berlin to be with her. Along for the ride is Scott's best friend, the girl crazy Cooper Harris. They manage only to get a flight into London, and thus have to make their way from London to Berlin.

 

 

One of my favorite movies, and I am glad this made the list. This is just 90 minutes of flat out nonsensical gags and riffing on stereotypes. Start to finish, this may be one of the funniest teen comedies ever. Also, it has Matt Damon playing a rocker in a surprise cameo

The Matt Damon cameo in Eurotrip is stillone of the biggest WTF castings ever.

THE FALL

 

 

 

PLOT: At a Los Angeles hospital in the 1920s, Alexandria is a child recovering from a broken arm. She befriends Roy Walker, a movie stunt man with legs paralyzed after a fall. At her request, Roy tells her an elaborate story about six men of widely varied backgrounds who are on a quest to kill a corrupt provincial governor. Between chapters of the story, Roy inveigles Alexandria to scout the hospital's pharmacy for morphine. As Roy's fantastic tale nears its end, Death seems close at hand.

 

I have no freaking idea

[Dementeleus]

THE FALL is great. Everyone should see it.

TS3 UNDER-rated??

 

Yeah that's some funny crack people had

[Blankments]

I literally broke out laughing when I saw Toy Story 3 on this list. Probably the funniest thing I've seen on these forums in a long while 

[ZappBrannigan]

Yeah, what was the criteria supposed to be to classify a film as 'under-appreciated?

MAN OF STEEL

 

 

 

 

PLOT: It has appeared on every single list this forum has made - you know the plot by now.

 

My personal favorite superhero movie of last year. It maintains the record of appearing on every single list made in the past 6 months on this forum.

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK

 

 

 

 

PLOT: A theatre director struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he creates a life-size replica of New York City inside a warehouse as part of his new play.

 

 

Never seen this one, but I am sure Tele can enlighten us to the movie's virtues.

MAN OF STEELMy prophecy was true

[chasmmi]

So far Only Eurotrip and Space Cowboys made the list. (But then again I was apparently using a differenct interpretation of underrated to many others it seems).Can I retcon Life of Pi to the top of my list seeing as I feel that's the best film of the past 10 years and there is at least 1 person on this forum who doesn't agree with me?I can't can't see too many others from my list making it :(1) Mike Bassett England Manager2) Rocky 63) Men in Black 34) Space Cowboys5) Eurotrip6) Terminator 37) Keeping the Faith8) Rambo 49) Team America World Police10) Everything Must Go11) Red 212) The Road to El Dorado13) Jersey Girl14) Hellboy15) Zack and Miri Make a Porno16) Thor17) Live free or Die Hard18) Gone in 60 seconds19) Snatch20) Adaptation21) Serenity22) School of Rock23) Blades of Glory24) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen25) Ocean's 13
