 Re: Ten most underrated films of the 21st century so far?
I love the film Mike Binder made before Reign over Me, The Upside of Anger.
Reign over Me is decent.

Reign over Me is decent. Sandlers performance is heartbreaking. Without him the movie would be just decent, imo.

I think that is highly regarded as one of the top documentaries of this century, is it not?

I always forget that this completely flopped. I'm gonna have to bump something off my list cause Walk Hard is 100% underrated.

Reign over Me is great, but it actually reminds me of another REALLY underrated film - Funny People. Best film Apatow has ever directed.

 Re: Ten most underrated films of the 21st century so far?
Funny people is. as is Identity, Bloody Valentine, The Mist I still think the best horror films of the last 13 years outside of The Descent. I'd throw 1408 in there as well for PG 13 horror, though that one was a pretty solid hit.
And over to Nic Cage, despite his recent reputation: The Weather Man, Lord of War, Next, Drive Angry are all very solid films that really missed the mark box office wise.

2005 was Cage's last truly great year. He hit two home runs with Lord of War and The Weather Man, whether audiences showed up or not.

The Invention of Lying is a very good film, as is Ghost Town. Not sure I'd include them in my Top 20 most underrated movies though.

Breakfast on Pluto is very underrated. Cillian Murphy should have received an Oscar nomination.
