3. The Empire Strikes Back

how can it be underrated when it is generally accepted as the best of the series?

other flaws in ur logic: the definition of the terms "everyone", "no one", and "seriously".

i think these flaws render ur list less than definitive.

also they're all American movies made after 1980 about angry dudes.  Hey, would you happen to be an angry American dude made after 1980?

[The Disco Kid]

how can it be underrated when it is generally accepted as the best of the series?

I suppose you think you got me or something, but although it is generally considered the best of the series, the series itself isnt taken very seriously beyond its effect on popular culture.

There is a huge difference between unknown and underrated...hence my compulsion to start my list with the qualifying definition. Maybe this answers my fellow Bostonian  Pete's question(You should have my back, man!).

other flaws in ur logic: the definition of the terms "everyone", "no one", and "seriously".

Dont know what youre getting at here. My logic is sound; either yours isnt, or your reading something incorrectly or far too literally.

And you can add Rob Roy to the list as well.

i can tell you the film ZERO EFFECT is greatly under rated by critics and the general public.  (for me) it's the most under rated film of the 90s.

Dont know what youre getting at here.

you're speaking in definites about something on which you can merely speculate. i think what you are trying to say is that underrated means 'under-appreciated' and not 'under-appreciated due to being unheard of'. but you have to consider how many levels of film awareness there are.

[Jeremy Blackman]

although it is generally considered the best of the series, the series itself isnt taken very seriously beyond its effect on popular culture.

There's a big difference between "no one takes it seriously" and "not enough people take it seriously enough."
