Yeah that's a good point. I couldn't think of any actually underrated movies I've seen in a while. There's some I've enjoyed that got poor ratings, but not like they were objectively better than their reviews suggested, I was just willing to overlook their flaws. I'm not sure if this is due to movie criticism improving, or my tastes just more closely aligning with modern trends or what. Feels like it didn't used to be true. Only thing I can guess at as a turning point was the existence of rottentomatoes.com.

> I was just willing to overlook their flaws For me personally I think that's a large part of it. For example I loved Dark Star, even though the main "monster" is literally and very obviously a beach ball. There was just so much else that I liked that the beach ball didn't put me off. I've seen many movies with relatively poor ratings that I enjoyed quite a lot.
