11 of the Most Underrated Movies of All Time (Prestigeonline Hong Kong)

"Films which become instantly popular upon release are often superhits. But others are hailed as classics only years after they premiere by the same viewers & critics who had not appreciated them earlier. These are counted among the most underrated movies of all time. One reason could be that when the film hit the theatres, society might not have been ready to understand such plots & themes, or an equally excellent film resonated more with audiences & gained critical praise. It is important to note that the term 'underrated' does not necessarily include every movie that failed to garner appreciation from critics or did not do well at the box office. What defines a 'badly made' movie is something very different from that of an 'underrated' film. Therefore, underrated films can be categorised as those with storylines that were lauded by critics & audiences for acting & filming much after their release. Here is a diverse selection of all-time underrated movies." - prestigeonline.com/hk
