Umm... Are you sure we're talking about the same film? It's a British made film and I'd rather watch it than that abhoration 4 weddings, any day.

Do you mean the Don Johnson classic, A Dog and His Boy? Bizarre story to tell, considering the times.

Funny, I tried to find out how much money Dark Star made but was unsuccessful. Found the budget, 68 thou! The only scene I remember is one of the cast smoking pot in an observation window, unless that was Silent Running🙂

Here's a couple that seem to have fallen under the radar of most:

"Edvard Munch" directed by Peter Watkins

"Another Woman" directed by Woody Allen

Of all my favourite movies, AI is the most underrated.

I don't fully know why I love this movie, but I do. Perhaps you need to be a parent for it to involve you on the intended level.

The Thin Red Line is one of my all time faves. Nice call.

But is it underrated?

Agreed, you and I seem to be in the minority when it comes to that movie, but I think the philosophical explorations in the movie are second to none.

Death to Smoochie is a very underrated movie, which I think is class.
