Wow - almost forgot the most underrated comedy of all time (because Fox tried to kill it):

 

Idiocracy (the movie Mike Judge made after Office Space). Brilliant premise - Watch the Intro

 

Seriously - if you haven't seen this movie, rent it.

 

"Brawndo - it's got what plants crave - it's got electrolytes!"

"That's right monkey, play my head"

 

LOL, I just read through the whole damn thread to see if anyone else said it...I laughed my ass off at that film :unsure:

Although I'm not sure you can classify it as a comedy but Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

 

Benico Del Toro was great as the "Samoan" and Depp was spot on.

 

It's too bad Johnny Depp will always be remembered as a Pirate now. He is a damn good actor.

 

Na, he will always be Donnie Brasco

That whole 3.5 thread on intelligence pretty much killed that movie premise for me, since I knew the it was false (although, if you are HA, you'd thin the opposite lol).

 

Still pretty decent, though.

Great. I see this and anticipate posting and people take the sails out of my wind:

 

 

Yall: Top Secret. My first thought was the bookshop scene...

 

KDinCT: Used Cars. "I'm Roy L. Fuchs, you SOB!"

 

Bills44 sticks the knife in: Slapshot. "Lady, your kid looks like a fag."

 

Buftex has the follow up: After Hours. Maybe the best nomination.

 

I'll suggest Repo Man.

"She highlights the f*** scenes for you?"

 

 

I know someone said it, but definitely Dirty Work

Can the original "Fletch" be considered underrated?

 

Still one of my favorite movies to watch.

 

"Hopalong Cassidy killed himself here. Bow and arrow...very wierd."

 

"Does this proposition entail my dressing up as Little Bo Peep?"

 

"Can I borrow your towel for a sec? My car just hit a Water Buffalo."

 

The list goes on and on...

I don't know if it can really be considered "underrated", but The Ref is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies.

 

And it definitely can't be consider underrated...but nowadays Some Like It Hot doesn't get nearly the respect it deserves.
