36 Underrated Movies You Probably Haven't Seen (But Should) According to Purewow

"The nature of the industry makes it so that while some films skyrocket to blockbuster or instant classics, others (aka these underrated movies) flare and then fizzle out, thanks to low box offices, overshadowing big releases or just this thing called time. So, I curated my own little underrated movie collection, one made of hidden gems that have been overlooked by the general public and/or the critics or simply forgotten. I polled both my cinephile and laymen friends as well as fellow editors, taking into account various genres and ratings. I foraged my memory for movies I've seen, loved but have found that most other people in my life have never heard of. I ranked the roster based on two primary criteria: Rotten Tomatoes scores and recognizability. Was this film popular with a low Rotten Tomatoes score or is it unheard of with near perfect reception? However you slice it, here are 36 underrated movies that deserve a watch." - purewow.com
