"Broadway Danny Rose"

A modest Woody Allen comedy and better than many of his more ambitious more pretentious efforts, a perfect movie!

There's three that i think of immediately because I think they are underrated for the same reasons:

"Silent Hill"
"Saint Agnes" ( or whatever the french "haunted" childrens orphanage film with Virginie Ledoyen is called in english)
"Gothika"

I think they all have weird and eerily similar themes. Womens lack of authority when telling a tale, when interpreting events , when exploring something. And unfortunately this very theme, the lack of respect for original but unsupported womens theories about things ,made the films flop at the cinema. They are really not as bad as all that.

( On the other hand the house of keys or doors or something with Kate Hudson had me intrigued to begin with but increasingly disappointed , the opposite to the others which took a bit of time to involve me ,despite ostensibly having a similar opening. It was actually too clever clever neat with a twist.)

Other than those most of the films I have liked have at least some critical or public accclaim/respect. These three keep being slated by almost everybody.

Being John Malkovich

Hell yes. It's one of my favourite movies of all time. Then again, anything written by Charlie Kaufman seems to end up on that list.
