What’s the most underrated movie you’ve ever watched?
I have not a blockbuster type of person. Every movie I watch is underrated. I love finding the hidden gems and cult Classics to me.
There are so many, but this movie has been sticking in my head for a while.
Local Hero
An American oil executive experiences a life-altering shift as the close-knit community and natural wonders of a coastal Scottish village challenge his corporate mission.
Why this movie resonates now is the current Trump regime and their disregard for nature and the environment. This is an underdog story.
I found this movie in a roundabout way as I love the music of Mark Knopfler? Mark Knopfler is of Dire Straits fame and has a robust solo career. The soundtrack to this movie is stunning. I listened to the soundtrack before I actually watched the movie.
There are many more. I’m not an avid movie watcher, but I certainly look out for the obscure and the artsy..
Short Cuts – this is a tremendous movie based on all the short stories of Raymond Carver. I also happen to be a big Raymond Carver fan.
Night On Earth -The movie you are looking for is Night on Earth (1991), written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. This movie is subtle and beautiful.. It’s about five separate taxi rides in five different cities.
I believe there’s a common thread as Tom Waits appears in both movies.
Here are some family Classics
