Really liked Children of Men and as far as Cohen Bros., for f-cksake how about Burn Before Reading? For a great movie that is like going backwards in a time machine at this point The Verdict with Paul Newman is excellent. Michael Clayton was also well done.

Zombieland is a good example.

I highly, highly highly recommend that people see Moon. Relatively low-budget under the rade type of movie - Sam Shepard is great in it.

Get Him to the Greek. If you don't laugh at this movie, you're a drip. Ditto for Saving Sarah Marshall.

The Prestige. Kingdom of Heaven. The Assassination of Jesse James...(Sam Shepard, again.) Fallen. (Denzel Washington). Jacob's Ladder. Everything by Wes Anderson.

Barton Fink has always been one of my favorite movies. Hard to call any Coen brothers' underrated, but they might be so overrated that they come full circle to underrated. The Big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou? are brilliant.

And, because I am the father of an elementary-school aged girl and she has been my most constant movie date over the past nine years, I might be an expert on animated films.

The Incredibles is supposed to be Pixar's best film. It's not - Finding Nemo is. I don't recall being crazy about it when it came out, but having seen it about 200 times with my daughter since, it's almost perfect. I can't say any other Pixar movies are really underrated - perhaps A Bug's Life. The rest are as good as their reps with the possible exception of Brave....wasn't crazy about it. Cars 2 stunk.

Arthur Christmas and Pirates! Band of Misfits are both very, very good.
Sam Shepard wasn't in Moon, you're thinking of Sam Rockwell. Two of the best movie I've ever seen, City of God and Maria Full of Grace.

Some choices:
Believe in Me
Shot at Glory
Charlie Wilson's War
Appaloosa
Cradle Will Rock
Matchstick Men
Dark City

I tried to present films in a variety of genres. I would like to add Citizen X, but it is an HBO film. Is that kosher/? Still if you haven't seen this film; I highly recommend it.

For a GREAT T&A movie, watch Eurotrip. I believe it was straight to video, and the main 4 characters are a hodge podge of career supporting actors, although the movie also has Jeffrey Tambor and Vinnie Jones, and a hilarious cameo by Matt Damon. The movie is exactly what you expect it to be, but I still laugh my butt off every time it is on.

Worth another thread, but I think T&A movies are much, much better now than they were 30 years ago.
