What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? 2141
Moses Lawn asks: "With the impending re-release of Spirited Away, I've been wondering about this. There are a lot of movies I love that no one else seems to know about. Some of them disappeared from theaters within a week, some came out years ago and seem to have been forgotten. Here are a few of my favorites: The Hot Rock, The Pope Must Diet (formerly 'The Pope Must Die'), They Might Be Giants, and The Big Hit. Maybe you like these, too. Maybe you think they stink up the joint. So what are your favorite forgotten movies?"

Agreed, that was a good one.
A bit off-topic but I'd also like to see the following television shows return:
-Dr. Who(specifically the Tom Baker years)
-GeForce(aka Gatchaman, an early japanime cartoon series which aired in the late 70s and early 80s)
-Neutron Man(Japanese live-action show, like godzilla)
-Dungeons and Dragons(the cartoon, aired in the early-mid 80s)
-Starblazers(japanime cartoon series)

But how many have watched it...twice? Three times?
As popular as it was, I call it underrated because not enough people know how UTTERLY BRILLIANT it is! The massive 5% zooms, the monochromatic scenes (except for one item), the jokes that you don't realise were jokes until the next day, the mood, the characters, the...oh man, the everything. Having watched it about 10 times on DVD, I'm only BEGINNING to see the real detail that went into this work of art.
