    I would say (The last action hero) I remeber people were critsing the film saying it wasnt as good as t2 but what they probaly didnt relize is t2 is probaly the greatest action movie ever and exstreamly hard to topple it.
    The last action hero was a kick ass film funny and had so enjoyble with some really great action scens so I didnt know what the prob was with it.

        Not sure what your definition of "underrated" is, but if by underrated you mean praise from reviewers and box office returns, many of the movies on your list don't qualify.

        1) Arlington Road
        Nominated for three Saturn Awards
        Total Gross: $24,362,501 domestic (not huge business, but its budget was only $21,500,000)

        2) Are you referring to the Sidney Lumet directed Deathtrap?

        3) Starship Troopers
        Nominated for one Oscar
        Nominated for five Saturn Awards, won two
        Total Gross: $119,700,065 worldwide

        4) Road To Perdition
        Critcally Acclaimed
        Nominated for six Oscars, won for best cinematography
        Nominated for two Saturn Awards, won both
        Total Gross: $161,354,514 worldwide

        5) Go
        Nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards
        Total Gross: $16,842,303 domestic (more than twice its budget)

        6) Pitch Black
        Nominated for a Saturn Award
        Gross: $39,235,088 domestic (just under twice its budget)
        Was popular enough on dvd and cable to warrant a sequel

        7) The Thin Red Line
        Critcally Acclaimed
        Nominated for seven Oscars
        Total Gross: $81,600,000 worldwide

        I agree with you on the others.

          I guess it depends on where you live, cause I meant underrated among the general populace or the general consensus around my neighborhood.

            Predator 2 and Robocop 2 are underrated. Both were critically panned upon release and Predator 2 did not do well at the box office. Robocop 2 did do well at the box office, but people did not like the film.

              Does Superman 3 and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom counts? Two of my favourite movies but many people don't like them. There was a documentary about Harrison Ford and the bit about Indiana Jones did not mention or include a clip of Temple of Doom.

                Glengarry Glen Ross. Easily one of the coolest movies ever. Alec Baldwin's performance in it is seriously worth the purchase of the DVD. He is just wicked as hell:

                        I don't think that movie is underrated at all. I see people quoting it all over the place, kinda like Office Space.
