My favourite underrated feature-length films
This list contains a selection of films that I regard as very special and rather underrated and under-appreciated by the general public and IMDb users. I have, for the purposes of this list, made a distinction between 'underseen' and 'underrated'. This is intended to be a list of films that are relatively well known to cinephiles. It is not primarily meant to be a list of ''hidden gems''. Similarly, it is not intended to be a list of ''guilty pleasures''. These are films that I genuinely think are exemplary and deserving of consideration for future elevation to the various established canonical endeavours.
I have decided to limit this list to feature-length films. In my rating system, a 6.5 rating denotes a relatively good film. I have therefore settled on an upper cut-off of 6.4 on IMDb. I selected from films with 200 or more IMDb ratings, as a number less than that struck me as definitely veering into more 'underseen' territory. I hope that these films that I have so savoured enjoy a rise in fortunes in the future.
This list was assembled for the ICM Forum's 2020 poll of favourite underrated films. I have subsequently added to this list several films in the 6.5-6.6 range that other users had listed. Several films therefore are above 6.4 on IMDb.
