Should get A LOT more attention! (見くびる, 過小評価映画)
Or as you'd call it "Most Underrated Movies" in my opinion ...and I think deserve higher ratings too!
Moreover, don't miss out on these movies because of their low ratings or LACK of ratings! I don't know, movies have the tendency to be either underrated or overrated these days! I wish a whole bunch of the attention from the overrated ones could be redirected at these! You ever have that movie that is just so good, wholesome, enjoyable, likable, & funny, you were attached to in your childhood, and enjoyable to watch over & over, but you just know people around you (i.e. "the general audience") just isn't aware of these movies or that they don't see them enough??? These movies are a ton of fun for ANY family to have - I'm serious. I'm here to list all those movies that deserve a mention, and maybe a 3D re-release in the theaters! lol
Besides Dr. Kent Hovind's Creation Science Seminar set, even some of these films are also somewhat of nourishment to the spirit even. (Disclaimer: Not all of these are necessarily "nostalgic".

- DirectorDavid A.R. WhiteStarsBruce MarchianoSteve BordenJaci VelasquezThe supernatural experience of five people sat in an abandoned diner with the King of Kings...Jesus Christ.A MUST SEE!
I mean, WOW...a powerful film, POWERFUL! A little movie with a BIG heart! So pleasantly surprised ~ I can't believe I missed out on this for several years!!
What I got was really, really good flick that touched me and made me feel good and wanting to be a better person.
It is not a heavy action flick, with big-budget explosions or car chases, but just a well-acted thought-provoking heart-felt movie that is well-worth everyone's time! ^^
Much better & meaningful 2010 film than "Inception", AND a much better dialogue film than "Pulp fiction" for sure. lol
Quite a much-needed film in this day and age. So good in fact, here's a free link from YouTube you can use if you'd like to see it ;-)

Many out there will make negative comments about this movie and that is their right, but it is also my right to praise this film and the message it gives to all. You'll laugh, cry, and more importantly, you'll feel the presence of God in this film. Highly, highly recommended.
Would I/Did I buy it? Yes
Would I watch it again? Yes
Would I recommend it to friends? Yes
PS: Want to know another film about Jesus living amongst modern-day people??
See the film "Joshua" (2002)! - DirectorJeremiah S. ChechikStarsPatrick SwayzeOliver PlattRoger Aaron BrownA young boy's imagination summons cowboy legend Pecos Bill, who helps him save the family farm from a greedy land-grabber. With the help of a lumberjack and a railroad worker, they all embark on a surprise-filled adventure.Where... do... I... begin...????
This is a Disney Drama Classic!! It may just be the most underrated Disney film ever! It has many big Hollywood names in it! Nick Stahl, Patrick Swayze, Oliver Platt, Scott Glenn, Stephen Lang, etc... why isn't this film more popular!??? I was really hoping for Doug Walker to review this film during his last "Disneycember" (yeah I know)
Great family movie, with a great story, and good morales, too! I actually learned a lot from this film.
And in my book, it seems quite Biblical too, with the facts that 3 legendary characters, Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, & John Henry are sent to help this boy, Daniel Hackett; they're somewhat like 3 GUARDIAN ANGELS (since the Number "3" appears quite a lot in the Bible).
Also, Randy Edelman's score for the film is *especially* underrated!
A *MUST SEE*!!! - StarsDavid JeremiahYou may even view this on YouTube here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1a-oU-dsKE
I would highly recommend this "The Light of the World" by Chick publications production.
This 78-minute film takes you on an unforgettable journey, showing the Biblical account of the Creation of man and the entrance of Sin into the world.
It explains why Jesus Christ came to earth and how He dealt with the sin issue once and for all.
Very beautiful art work based on Truth not just on human imagination, follows Bible message, containing 360 *breathtakin* oil paintings, you hear David Jeremiah's moving narration rise above composer John Campbell's magnificent original musical score and the unforgettable sound effects.
You will experience the Bible as never before. :-D - DirectorCharles HaidStarsMackenzie AstinKevin SpaceyDavid Ogden StiersA brave young man is thrust into adulthood as he and his courageous team of sled dogs embark on a grueling and treacherous cross-country marathon.A true story...
SOOOOO freakin' underrated - the Nostalgia Critic should review this movie
The main, Mackenzie Astin, does an incredible job in the film - seriously, why have no other filmmakers used this actor more???
And the "Hunger Games" ain't got NOTHING on this!! - DirectorEric TillStarsUlrich TukurJohanna KlanteRobert JoyThe story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German clergyman of great distinction, who actively opposed Hitler and the Nazis. His convictions cost him his life.The amazing true story of a real guy who had the GUTS of God to stand up against an evil empire!
BTW, you won't understand the motives behind Hitler's thinking once you realize how Darwinism ties in! - DirectorJon PurdyStarsTony GoldwynF. Murray AbrahamKurt Fuller"Joshua" tells the story of a possible second coming of Christ to a small U.S. town.Tony Goldwyn is so much better in this than he was in "Ghost" - I believe every "big" actor/actress in this film should at least be accredited for appearing in this flick, on their own iMDb profiles.
PS: "The Encounter" is especially good, too. Because it deals almost with the some concept & perspective of Jesus dwelling amongst modern-day people. - DirectorFrank OzStarsHal ScardinoLitefootLindsay CrouseOmri, a young boy growing up in Brooklyn, receives an odd variety of presents for his birthday: a wooden cupboard from his older brother, a set of antique keys from his mother, and a plastic Indian from his best friend, Patrick.Directed by the guy who brought you Grover, Miss Piggy, and Yoda! :D
- DirectorSteve MurrayStarsAntoni BiernackiPeter BowlerJanet BrowneIn 1831 a young amateur scientist, Charles Darwin, boarded HMS Beagle on an epic five-year voyage of discovery. 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book, 'Origin of Species'. The Voyage that Shook the World retraces Darwin's journey, exploring the places and discoveries crucial to the formulation of his Theory of Evolution. Filmed in South America, UK, North America, Australia and Europe, The Voyage features dramatic period recreations and stunning nature cinematography interwoven with scholars sharing their perspectives on the man and the controversy. A fascinating and thought provoking opportunity to gain new insight into The Voyage that Shook the World.A much better & worthy-watching flick on the "anniversary" of anything having to do with Darwin.
Forget about Paul Bettany's "Creation" film. - DirectorRobert ShallcrossStarsJoe MantegnaAnne ArcherPierrino MascarinoA distant, slightly dysfunctional family is brought closer together when the father's long-estranged Uncle Nino comes from Italy to Chicago for a surprise visit.Perhaps the MOST underrated film of 2003 - beautiful, charming, funny, and just all-round feel-good. ;-)
- DirectorVic SarinStarsKirk CameronBrad JohnsonJanaya StephensThe Biblical prophecy of Armegeddon begins when the Rapture instantly takes all believers in Christ from the Earth. A reporter left behind learns that the Anti-Christ will soon take power.I heard my siblings talking about this movie, on & on. I finally got down to watch it myself & I was pleasantly surprised. Loved it's message, it's characters, it's story, it's wonderful revelation, and Kirk Cameron.
(I had checked out the Nicholas Cage version - I could hope for the best, though I think it wasn't as powerful as the original)
Sadly films like these don't often have the "high budget"...
But simply dramatic, gripping, well-acted, well-directed, emotional, touching...and the rest of its sequels
These movies may not have the best special effects; what matters is the message, the story, and the truth behind it. - DirectorBill CorcoranStarsKirk CameronBrad JohnsonClarence Gilyard Jr.After the Rapture and the revealing of the identity of the Antichrist, a group of converts form the Tribulation Force, a secret society with the sole purpose of converting non-believers to Christianity.(Same as above)
- DirectorCraig R. BaxleyStarsLouis Gossett Jr.Kirk CameronBrad JohnsonThe world falls into chaos as Nicolae Carpathia detonates nuclear devices across the globe and stages multiple devastating attacks against both the Tribulation Force and an international militia, led by U.S. President Gerald Fitzhugh.(Same as above)
- DirectorEuzhan PalcyStarsPenelope Ann MillerKevin PollakMichael BeachWhen six-year-old Ruby is chosen to be the first African-American to integrate her local elementary school, she is subjected to the true ugliness of racism for the first time.It's a DISNEY movie for pete's sake!
- StarsJason RobardsJane SeymourPatricia NealAfter charming her reclusive grandfather and falling in love with the beautiful mountain he calls home, Heidi is uprooted and sent to Frankfurt where she befriends Klara, a young girl confined to a wheelchair.Just touching... Your hearts strings will be pulled. <3
I think it's also the BEST version of the story as well.
The Disney Channel should really re-air this some time soon! - DirectorRonald NeameStarsAlbert FinneyAlec GuinnessEdith EvansA musical retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about an old bitter miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.By far the BEST Christmas Carol version EVER! A musical first, and it's far more expanded on the story second!
- DirectorTom McLoughlinStarsDonald SutherlandMatthew FoxMary McDonnellDr. Bob Shushan is an overworked and absent father who runs a centre for the mentally and physically challenged. When Shushan suffers a heart attack, his life is saved by James Jones, a young patient at the center. The two men forge a friendship and help each other rekindle the father-son bond that has been missing in their lives.The movie which INTRODUCED me to these big Hollywood names, be it Matthew Fox, or the rest!
A true story! - DirectorTony WestmanStarsCharlton HestonIn the first of Heston's acclaimed four-part series, the renowned actor serves as storyteller. An ancient Roman amphitheater and other locales in Israel provide the settings for the Oscar winner as he relies on the King James text, his dramatic skill and insightful observations plus great works of art and music to give flesh and bone to the Biblical wonder.More than a fitting part for him - after playing Moses & Ben-Hur this definitely is something worth for him to present.
Much insightful biblical knowledge, foresights, and information is addressed, all in all in an EPIC way, through Heston's own great voice! - DirectorBille AugustStarsLiam NeesonGeoffrey RushUma ThurmanValjean, a former criminal, has atoned for his past and now finds himself in the midst of the French Revolution, avoiding a law-obsessed policeman hell-bent on capturing him.How did this film get missed by the Academy Awards???!!!
If the 2012 version was great for being a "musical", then this version is great for being a "drama".
A lot of the plot points in the musical felt all so rushed & cluttered, but Liam Neeson (brilliant as always) OWNS the role of Jean Valjean in the 1998 film.
Everyone else in the 2012 fealt so MISCAST! I'm serious.
This story is thrilling, the characters are likable & relatable, the villain is believable, and there are no close-ups of peoples dirty face during the high notes of a song. lulz - DirectorStuart GillardStarsHarland WilliamsJessica LundyWilliam SadlerFred Z. Randall is a geeky spacecraft designer who gets the chance to make his dream come true and travel to Mars."It Wasn't Me!" Perhaps Harland Williams' funniest movie ever! Way funnier than even "Dumb & Dumber" or "Dr. Strangelove", just some overrated flicks that just weren't that funny to me.
Why isn't "Rocketman" on Harland's iMDb front page of movies!!??? By the way, I wouldn't even be surprised if Harland did most of his unscripted improvisation throughout the movie. It's that good.
Anyways, it's all about a space mission to Mars, and to be honest, it's got decent special effects for the time.
A laugh-out-loud comedy the whole family can enjoy, and even film critic Roger Ebert liked it!
I challenge even the Nostalgia Critic to find this movie & review it!! - DirectorAlex KendrickStarsRosetta Harris ArmstrongLisa ArnoldBlake BaileyA dishonest used-car salesman decides to become the salesman that God wants him to be--with surprising results.The film I saw AFTER "Facing the Giants", realizing then that it was their first work of art. Made with only a $20,000 budget, you can see by the first few minutes that it was shot with a regular video camera, so it doesn't LOOK like a feature film quality production. But you get past that, and ignore it... and that's when God starts working through the film.
The Kendrick brothers created a fantastic story here, and you'll want to share it with others. A film that's better than most of the multi-million dollar productions out of Hollywood (or dare I say "HollyWEIRD") today.. - DirectorPaul FeigStarsBen TibberJim CaviezelJoan PlowrightA twelve-year-old boy escapes from a Bulgarian Communist concentration camp and sets out on a journey to reach Denmark.I really good movie with thrills, suspense, chases, escapes, and an all-round "fugitive"-type story.
Jim Caviziel has also a rather small but intriguing part in the movie as well. - DirectorAlex KendrickStarsKirk CameronErin BetheaKen BevelIn an attempt to save his marriage, a firefighter uses a 40-day experiment known as "The Love Dare."Really REALLY helped our whole family reunite on some GREAT levels. <3
...and even a much better love story than overrated "Titanic." - DirectorBrenda ChapmanSteve HicknerSimon WellsStarsVal KilmerRalph FiennesMichelle PfeifferEgyptian Prince Moses learns of his identity as a Hebrew and his destiny to become the chosen deliverer of his people.At the time it was released, it was the most expensive animated film ever made - and rightly-deserved too! Everything about it's Biblical scale is beautiful, and really stays true to the original material, based on historical accounts. IMO, the Jews deserve not be hated; they deserve more friends; their history is quite harsh & sad; they had enemies way before Hitler - they have been WAY too persecuted throughout history.
Plus the soundtrack... AMAZING. Hans Zimmer really knows how to give you goosebumps. lol
Sure this film won an Oscar for Best Song "When You Believe" (sung by Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey), but it also should have won Hans Zimmer an Oscar, because the music & songs themselves are PHENOMENALLY GORGEOUS! ^^
AND about time they release it to BLU-RAY! - DirectorRegardt van den BerghStarsRichard KileyBruce MarchianoGerrit SchoonhovenThe plot follows the birth, preaching, teaching and miracles of Jesus. He preached and lived a radical message of God's Love and was able to heal people of lifelong disabilities and illnesses and was able to command natural phenomena.Bruce Marchiano did a really great job - his new film the Encounter is also worth checking out too!
- DirectorLeo D. PaurStarsDalin ChristiansenFrank GerrishCynthia JumpThings are not going well in the depression-era town of Castle Gate. Mr. Ribaldi, a mysterious rich man with a disfigured face and an abrasive personality, has just bought and moved into a long-vacant mansion.

But Ribaldi is quite an accomplished musician himself, and he is soon giving Bonnie voice lessons.
