Josie and the Pussycats (2001)
What people think it is: A cheap teen comedy, full of product placement.
What it is: It’s a commentary on consumerism, on being told what to like by corporations, and the sheer fabrication behind the music industry. You’ve got Josie and her band, promoting subliminal messages to manipulate teenagers.
The genius of this film is that it criticizes the exact MTV generation that the marketing was trying to attract.

What "Fight Club" satirizes, isn´t masculinity - but, that men aren´t allowed to be men anymore. The protagonist has to bend the needle of his moral compass on a daily basis to save the company millions, despite obvious neglicence related deaths..
With an IMDb Score of 8.8 I wouldn´t call it underrated.
Marvellous Soundtrack by the Dust Brothers btw

"Dune" is criminally underrated with 6.5 on IMDb.
H.R.Giger desingning the Harkonnen chairs and table adds to the unique atmosphere. Great cast including Juergen Prochnow, Virginia Madsen, Kyle McLachlan, Max v. Sydow, Dean Stockwell, Patrick Stewart and Sting(!)
Looking forward to see the new iteration!

How can anyone even talk about the epic that was Conan the Barbarian without even mentioning the legendary soundtrack by none other than Basil Poledouris. Perhaps the reason Conan is not better remembered is because of it's super cheesy sequel Conan the Destroyer, which was still a good film, but a bit more cheesy and comedic than the previous entry. That thing that came out a few years ago? Yeah that's not even Conan at all.

My choice of a criminally underrated movie would be:
"Tucker: The Man and His Dream"
"Tucker: The Man and His Dream"

Dune is an extremely complex masterpiece that spans 34000 years. I think David Lynch is one of the few directors who are able to direct such an epic piece. He also impressed me tremendously with the Twin Peaks saga.

"The Salton Sea" from 2002 and "Angelheart" are definitely in that category!
