What do you think is the most underrated movie of all time?

Why, what scared you?

The time-passage thing.

You should probably stay away from "Interstellar" then. Time dilation is a major component of that film.

Oddly enough, that's what depresses me about The Time Traveler's Wife. Spoiler alert!

Alba inherits Henry's ability to travel through time, only she can do it at will. But she is never seen past the age of 10. So either she stopped moving through time after her father died, or something happened to her. Sometimes you want to think of the positive outcome, but then you remember that the ending of Total Recall might not be so pleasant either.
 
The Chase, starring Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson. As Barry Manilow said on his Christmas special, it's tacky, it's cheesy, and I love it!

As a movie, it's not much. As a prediction of what TV news coverage would become 20 years later, the only thing missing is hashtags.

I've got a few - all science fiction style.

1. Explorers
A nice little film from 1985 about three kids who start getting odd dreams about creating a circuit board. After creating it, they discover it creates an electromagnetic bubble which surrounds a pre-determined area and that is capable of moving at near-limitless distances and speeds without the usual ill-effects from inertia. As such, the boys build a "ship" to ride around in before trying to find out where the dreams are coming from.
It didn't do well at the box office but it was a fun little movie and I enjoyed it.

I remember it turns out Alien Kids sent it!

3. The Last Starfighter
A movie gem from 1984, which shows a boy called Alex - who lives on a trailer park with his mum and little brother - get the top score on a Sci-Fi Arcade game called "Starfighter". Later he's approached by a man called Centauri, who is actually an alien and the game's creator - having created it as a test to find suitable pilots to fight on the Rylos side of a conflict between the Rylan Star League and the Ko-Dan Empire (which was the basis for the arcade game's story).
It's another film I do enjoy watching every now and then, even if some people call it a Star Wars rip-off. The film was directed by Nick Castle, who would later direct The Boy Who Could Fly in 1986 and even used footage of the Starfighter arcade game in the film.

I loved that!
 
The Mosquito Coast (1986)

This movie never made Harrison Ford famous, but to the eccentric aspie mind; who might also get frustrated with the illogic’s of modern society, it can really draw you in to think about whether a utopian society (like the one he attempted) could actually be created.

Oh yeah, I have to agree!!! I picked up the box set of DVD's a few years ago at the International Motorcycle Show in Atlanta; I also picked up "Faster," the movie about Moto GP:

I saw On Any Sunday at a drive in 1973 :D

I saw it for the first at a drive-in also. Back in those days, if I went to a movie it was a drive-in. I just did not like the crowds at a theater. I also have a copy of "On Any Sunday II" which was not as good. I think I feel that way because I was never much of a Kenny Roberts fan and always was a Malcum Smith fan.
 
We still have two drive-ins left in my area I continue to go to.Nobody bothers you there and you can do as you please :p
 
"The Thirteenth Floor" - much, much better than "The Matrix" which came out the same year. Whenever someone discusses the possibility of our reality not being what it seems, they always mention "The Matrix", but never the other (superior) film.

Ah, I miss drive-ins. Kids today don't know what they're missing.

I'm sure when they get older they will say the same thing about the technology we now have. "Ah, I miss tablets, mobile phones and Facebook. Kids today don't know what they're missing" (when, 30 years from now, all we will have to do to log on will be blink twice, because all of our gadgets will be embedded in our brains).
