    Who exactly defines these as 'underrated' I wonder? Most of these are undisputed classics.

    Wow, the number of Cary Grant films is surprising yet expected. I always rewatch Holiday (1938) each year during the holiday season.

    The Awful Truth, Arsenic And Old Lace, Charade, It's A Wonderful Life, Bringing Up Baby, and White Christmas are some my favorite movies of all time! I saw Invasion of the Body Snatchers when I was a young teen and it still haunts me today!

    "It Happened One Night" is one of my favourite movies! Colbert is so underrated, and I absolutely LOVE Gable!

    Ah yes, Mae West and her famous lines "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you happy to see me" or "I used to be Snow White, but I drifted". Many people don't know she wrote her own scripts.

      Miss West was a true genius. I admire, too, how secure she was in being herself. Here she was, in what was supposed to be a "moral" ( I know - William Hays...) society but since I was brought up SO strictly and so negatively, I'm a mess in many ways and she just seemed to be so happy with herself.

    All very worthy films. But ARE WE FOREVER DOOMED now, to being subjected to clumsy AI narrators on videos like this? Repetitive language, mispronunciations, and odd cadences make these videos a real challenge to get through, regardless of the content.
    SOMEONE put this video together, so GET a living person to narrate it!!!

    I agree with Some of the "Underrated" choices like Arsenic and Old Lace and Indiscreet...but Mildred Pierce and It Happened One Night remain Universally celebrated / critically acclaimed films that have "Transcended" their period. They are University Film Studies courses "Staples" on Film Noir, Screwball Comedy, and Film Censorship discussion. Remember the Night fell into some obscurity but is being "rediscovered" again as the bone - fide Screwball - Christmas Classic that it is ! No disputes about Bringing Up Baby or Wizard of Oz.

      @jaysverrisson1536 13 днів тому +1

      Acclaimed movies such as Mildred Pierce and It Happened One Night may be studied in film classes and are familiar to older audiences with even a passing interest in or exposure to classic films. However, many younger people are completely oblivious to old films. You could say that virtually EVERY black & white film is underrated where that crowd is concerned, inasmuch as some of them outright refuse to watch them. I've observed that for many (though not all) young YT movie reactors, film history starts about 1990. Any film over 2 hours challenges their attention spans and elicits complaints. Even when they condescend to watch, say, color sci-fi or horror classics from the 70s or 80s, their first concern is often "whether the FX will hold up," not whether the cinematography, writing, directing, or acting are any good.

    Interesting presentation. True that 60’s-and-after movies have allowed for more controversial topics…..the downside is that there are no more boundaries at all. Some call it “progress”, but it’s also made decency practically indecent.

    Why show clips of the "colorized" versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and It's a Wonderful Life? I guess AI does not know these are popular movies to begin with, and originally filmed in B&W.

    I've seen all but 3 or 4 of these but my absolute favorite, which isn't covered here, is The Women (the original and even the 1st remake, but the 2nd one with that whiney Meg was an absolute waste of film). Thanks for this list; I'll be keeping it for future reference. I love the old films.

    Yes. Because they didn't contain what was cited, they were 'more' wholesome. Your remark was inane. It's like saying 'because they couldn't show gore, they were less gory.' But they were only less gory because they couldn't show gore? Yeah, less gory. They couldn't show blood and bad language 'because, they were more 'wholesome.' Who wrote this?

    Your list is ridiculous, why are you talking about good movies? The underrated films come from studios like PRC or Monogram or Eagle lion, Universal. None of these studios were known as big budget studios. Stop picking the usual classics.
