Mystery Men Bubba Ho-Tep Very Bad Things
Listed as least to "most" appreciated. Never understood how Mystery Men never took off, it was brilliant. Although pretty much anything Stiller has directed never really took off, even Cable Guy.

Last Man Standing. (Bruce Willis in a western in Texas along the Mexican border during prohibition. Over the top, and the better for it.) In the Mouth of Madness. (Sam Neill, one of the best horror movies ever.) Equilibrium. (Christian Bale, it's the film where I knew that Bale would be a great Batman before Batman Begins came out.) The Butterfly Effect. (Ashton Kutcher; he proved he can really act in this.) Last Action Hero. (Arnold Schwarzenegger, campy action-comedy that I really enjoy.)

Shut up.
If you'd have said Traveling Pants 2 I'd have bought it. Because it's true.

I always thought Apocalypto was very underrated and not appreciated because Gibson was going through his problems.

3 movies of the humor type I normally hate. But throughly enjoyed, even laughed out loud s
Twilight:
A movie that had a pile of big names. Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, Susan Sarandon, Stockard channing, Reese Whitherspoon, James Garner. A very good story line but no one seemed to pay any attention.
Any movie that has a shot of a naked Reese Whitherspoon deserves my full attention. lol

I know Bill Murray said it's the best script he has ever read.

Phenomenon Powder Miracle on Belle Isle Craig's List Joe (more of a documentary)
To bad about Phenomenon cause I thought it was a wonderful explaination of how people would really act when confronted with something they didn't understand. Big names? Travolta, Forrest Whitiker. Robert Duvall, Kyra Sedgwick.
Now I truly dislike Kyra Sedgwick but she was really great in that show. Yes that means I didn't like The Closer. I rarely will continue watching a program that spends more time on the characters personal lives/problems.

I know its popular movie, but from a film making point of view, I really think the screenwriting (theme, story arc, dialog, and characters) is really underrated, (because of its sci-fi genre).
Its a tight script and a solid movie from start to finish, which is why its so memorable among fans. It has more quotable moments than all the other Trek films combined. It almost single handily made the Trek movie franchise, and they have been trying to copy aspects of this film of it ever since.
BTW, the same could be said of the original Karate Kid.

Most people haven't seen Dead Man, and it's a damn shame.
Great movie and the soundtrack was AMAZING......and I am about as far from a Neil Young fan as you can possibly be. Plus Gibby Haynes and Iggy Pop have cameos!
