Race The Sun
Featuring Casey Affleck, Halle Berry, and James Belushi, this 1996 film is the (heavily-fictionalized) story of a team of Hawaiian high-schoolers who build a solar car and, against all odds, race in the World Solar Challenge in Australia. Definitely not the most original plot elements, but beautiful shots of Australia and a great soundtrack make this one for the whole family (or when there's nothing else on).
Clue
An all-star cast including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, and Christopher Lloyd heads up this wacky adaptation of the board game. Mr. Boddy has been killed, now the rest of the secretive guests, along with the mysterious butler Wadsworth, must find out who the murderer is before (s)he strikes again! Also, this movie has more one-liners than any other movie, ever.
UHF
"Weird Al" Yankovic's big screen debut comes as George Newman, a daydreamer who takes over his uncle's TV station and turns it from the edge of shutdown to the most popular in town with shows like "Raul's Wild Kingdom", "Conan the Librarian", "Wheel of Fish", and, of course, "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse". Filled to the brim with Weird Al's signature brand of humor and hilarious sight gags.

-mad max trilogy (less unappreciated, more under-appreciated)
EDIT: Goddamnit TFS beat me to it
And interpid young cop searches his soul for the answers when he meets an unresistably cute doctor. They fall in love and prove that even in the gritty city of boston, love can shine through the darkest of clouds. An all star cast leads this dramatic musical set in 1930's boston. 5 stars.

wait your list of movies is a bunch of movies that the internet won't stop jerking off over!
they aren't unnapreciated at all!
I don't think half of these are really unappreciated.
I mean, LMS got nominated for Best Picture.
EDIT: beat by Knob
Anyone see that when they ran it on CC all the time a couple years back? I loved that movie.
Great horror movie.
Plus it has a guy getting stabbed in the eye with a syringe.
That was pretty good

sil have we had the discussion where we talk about how dark city is one of my favorite films
Your basic save-the-world-from-giant-asteroid movie, except for two things:
1. Bruce Willis
2. Steve Buscemi
You and me, we should head to Shell Beach some time.
i have it on DVD and i love it, we make kisses every so often
then again that's not really an underappreciated film forgive meeeeee
Personally I put Equilibrium in the catagory of unappreciated movies. Its way up on my list of favorites and sure the likes of us know and appreciate it, but the general populace doesn't even know it exists.

Holy shit this movie is so awesome
i don't think you get the point of this thread
which is simultaneously bizarre, sad, and hilarious, given that you're the one that made the damn thing
OH MAN
Equilibrium was, indeed, the shit.
Just because Michael Caine and Sean Connery conquering nations is pretty fucking cool.
but i guess they exist
That guy getting yanked through the drain is the best.
This pretty much sums my life up in a nutshell.
unlike the big lebowski which was supposed to be so hilarious you guys
Dark City.

i almost mentioned it
but i think it was because someone said buscemi
I just think the Big L is an awesome movie, in classic Coen Brothers form. I'm a big fan of their dry comedic style.
Equilibrium is seriously about as badass as they come. Plus its got hot ass Christian Bale in it kicking ass but not being bothered with name taking.
