Some fantastic films, despite their spectacular storytelling and glamorous visuals, even their excellent performances might get overshadowed and lost under the weight of extravagantly funded products or weak marketing schemes.
If you really are a movie buff, you owe it to yourself to track down these hidden treasures—truly masterful films that for unfortunate reasons find themselves overshadowed as being underrated.
The Fall (2006)
Director: Tarsem Singh
Why It’s a Masterpiece:
This film is visually compelling; it carries a fairy-tale kind of story between a stuntman and a girl. Breathtaking cinematography and an intense emotional experience make it a true gem. Unfortunately, it didn’t have the commercial viability it deserved. Those who have watched it, however, will testify that it’s a story that plays on in the heart long after the credits are done rolling.
Children of Men (2006)
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Why It’s Underrated:
Children of Men has bargained with heavy criticism but surprisingly did not connect with the popular conscience. Within the fantastically bleak background of a future in which the whole of humankind is facing extinction due to infertility, this film gives you the nail-biting experience unmatched and unparalleled sequences of almost the whole movie in a single take! revamped but with a twist.
Moon (2009)
Director: Duncan Jones
Why You Should See It:
This solo vehicle for Sam Rockwell is a phenomenal performance in science fiction. With minimalism and a sensitively subjective exploration of identity and humanism, Moon is one of the very finest but little-understood cinema.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
Director: Ben Stiller
Why It’s Inspiring:
This is an absolutely inspiring film that brings about a transformation of yourself, taking you on a journey of discovery and adventure. While most tend to classify this film as just another feel-good flick, it goes way beyond that. The eye-catching visuals and relatable storyline beg anyone who comes across it to follow their dreams.
Snowpiercer(2013)
Director: Bong Joon-ho
Why It Is an Intriguing Watch:
Before Parasite, Bong Joon-ho had given this thriller topic of post-apocalyptic, set on a moving train. It has every aspect from class struggle, survival, and revolution wrapped in fine action and still provoking moments.
