un·der·rate (ŭn'dər-rāt')

tr.v., -rat·ed, -rat·ing, -rates.

To rate too low; underestimate.

 

Correct. Most people don't consider Airplane! the greatest movie of all-time, therefore it is underrated.

Life is Beautiful

one of my all time favorite films- there are some hilarious scenes despite the heavy subject matter

 

Ugh...that one is on my all time overrated list. It was fine and all, but people made way too big a deal over it and the goofy performance by that Italian guy. Clearly it was 'foreign film' year in Hollywood since they gave him an Oscar over not one but two more deserving actors.

A couple of hilarious (albeit cheesy) ones from the '80's.

 

Beer (not out on DVD yet) It had a very eclectic cast including Rip Torn, David Allen Grier, Loretta Swit, and Kenneth Mars.

 

Head Office (surprisingly out on DVD) Another eclectic cast including Eddie Albert, Judge Reinhold, Richard Masur, Danny DeVito, Jane Seymour, Rick Moranis, Don King, and Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci).

Some of these movies are very mainstream, I mean I saw Tommy Boy listed earlier and thats a classic. Superbad? That was the blockbuster comedy of last summer. Then movies that might not be as well known such as Grandma's Boy but gets very high ratings from everybody that has seen it. I'm going with Beer League, barely anyone has seen this movie and its hilarious and written alot different than most cliche comedies, definately a great guy movie.
