The Best Missed

I'm not that interesting in reading 'Best Movies Of The Decade' lists. But what does grab me are 'Most Overlooked Movies Of The Decade' or 'What The Fuck Do You Mean You Haven't Watched This Movie Yet?' lists.

Here's an excellent one from Josh Tyler at CinemaBlend. The movies on his list that I've seen and highly recommend :

Planet Terror (2007)

Open Water (2003)

Black Snake Moan (2007)

Death At A Funeral (2007)

The Woodsman (2004)

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

City Of Ember (2008)

Choke (2008)

You can read his explanations of why these movies are 'The Most Overlooked Of The Decade' right here.

I agree completely that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, starring Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jnr, is a criminally overlooked and humongously under-rated movie. I've seen it four or five times and always love pointing it out to friends who haven't got around to watching it yet. It's like giving someone an unexpected, wonderfully satisfying gift.

I'd add to that list (trailers linked) :

The Machinist

The Proposition

Bad Eggs

Ten Canoes

Black Water

The Tracker

I'll do my own list of Overlooked Movies Of The Decade when the decade actually ends, next year.
