A couple quibbles Ernie: Manhunter was the original version of Red Dragon (Ed Norton, Phillip Seymour Hoffman), not Silence of the Lambs. Also, if were talking underrated movies, Shawshank is hardly that. Its tied as the highest rated movie of all-time on IMDB with The Godfather.

Good call on Bottle Rocket. I love all the Wes Anderson movies, especially Tenenbaums.

I would humbly add Excalibur, Stand By Me, Last of the Mohicans and Presumed Innocent.

Im curious if anyone here has seen the movie The Holy Mountain. Some friends have recently recommended it, as it has only been available in bootleg form for many years. Sounds like a trip.
