For anyone wondering what films were shown in the opening, here is what I able to recognize: _24 Frames_ (2017), by Abbas Kiarostami _Empire of Passion_ (1978), by Nagisa Oshima _The Trial of Joan of Arc_ (1962), by Robert Bresson _Eureka_ (2000), by Shinji Aoyama _A Hidden Life_ (2019), by Terrence Malick
unbelievable when I saw it in the thumbnail. I still remember seeing this one in theatres with my friends and being the only ones there, sadly almost nobody saw it.
I saw Living in Oblivion twice in the theatre (Angelika in NYC) when it came out. I’ve often wondered why it seemed to fade into obscurity, given the cast. Thank you for exposing us to so many masterpieces and for your thoughtful and warm intellectual discourse (a rare thing) !
Hey, I’ve always appreciated your non-clickbait approach. In this case, the title "Why Are These Films So Underrated?" feels more in line with The Cinema Cartography’s style compared to a straightforward "These Films Are Underrated." Please don’t lose your unique identity!
A Town Called Panic is such a fantastic film, just beautifully animated! I like that there’s such a wide range of movies here, definitely some here I need to check out
"After Hours," is growing in reputation. I've heard more people talking about that movie in the past two years, than the previous 30. I think it's because Scorcese is getting older, so people are rewatching his filmography ("Joker's," popularity probably helped).
Man, I love to search for the overlooked and underrated works in cinema! Just a great feeling of watching films you love from the most unexpected places! I can’t help but always love these videos immensely!
You Were Never Really Here has always been one of my favorite films of all time it’s so beautiful despite how soul crushing it is thank you for covering it.
Apocalyto is definitely a super great movie. I'm glad to see it get some appreciation. I can't help but watch it when I see it on. I'm the same way with Scorceses "The Aviator"
Hi, folks! Here's my list: 1. WHEN FATHER WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS 2. THE GOALIE'S ANXIETY AT THE PENALTY KICK 3. THE TREE OF GUERNICA 4. FAT CITY 5. BAD COMPANY 6. CHAMPAGNE FOR CAESAR 7. ACROSS 110TH STREET 8. THE HOUR OF THE FURNACES 9. ORDINARY FASCISM AKA TRIUMPH OVER VIOLENCE 10. WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM Enjoy!
I watched Living in Oblivion years ago on TV but didn't catch the title at the time. You unlocked a memory for me. I remember almost nothing from it except the final scene, which I really loved
The underrated Scorsese for me is Bringing Out the Dead. Nic Cage also thinks it is one of his best performances. And a few days ago I saw the Czechoslovakian movie The Cremator. I hadn't heard of it before, but almost everyone who has seen it (including now me), considers it a masterpiece.
As a local people live in the filming location of An Elephant Siting Still ,I just say some feelings. It’s my favorite movie.Sad thing is the director suicide in 2017. The known reasons is said that producer wanna cut the movie from 4 hours to 2 hours and Hu Bo didn’t compromise. And cause that his movie can’t show in china. Maybe that producer feels guilty, the next year he took movie to the Berlin film festival. I like the atmosphere of movies, and grey is indeed full of my city, it’s a poor city,lack of water and back to 2017 it’s full of haze and smog. I don’t think it’s sad movie I only can see it’s a real movie.
for me, my personal hidden gem: its a german film named "the last company". you should give it a try. its about a few prussian soldiers defending a windmill against the approaching french army in the 18th century. its basically a seven samurai like film. seven samurai was heavily inspired by it.
After Hours is an absolute classic Scorsese flick! So many good selections here; some I know, others I don't. Keen to check them out. Thanks for the video!
You Were Never Really Here is in my top 5 favorite movies. So beautiful and brutal. And I actually really enjoyed Apocalypto, just as long as I don’t expect it to be historically accurate, haha. I first saw it when I was being diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease that will likely leave me feeling constantly exhausted for the rest of my life. I really resonated with the hero’s story in that movie because that was how my life felt at the time. Really, really need to rest? Cool, but now there’s a jaguar chasing you, too bad! I get the problems with the film and I don’t discount them, but sometimes we can like things and get strength from them even if they’re inaccurate. Great video!
Omg! I fondly remember watching a town called panic when i was a kid and have been wondering about it recently and since i forgot the name i couldn’t find it so it feels insane seeing it here
The Fast Runner is a movie that has stuck with me since I watched it alone in my favorite old cinema. It was the first movie ever filmed in Inuit language. It's a folk story in a horror story in a love story.
Panique au village !!! I also loved An elephant sitting still, though I get why this one is a bit under the radar (themes and length + the director's death)
Man, I remember def being affected by Apocalyto when seeing it in theatres, but never saw it again. Id totally forgotten how incredible some of those shots are. Needs a rewatch.
My list 1:Wiseblood 2:I love you to Death 3:Slingblade 4:A High wind in Jamaica 5:The Day of the Beast (el dia de la beastia) 6:Shock Corridor 7:Shout at the Deavil 8:A Fist full of Dinomite 9:Hell in the Pacific 10: Hawaii
" High Wind in Jamaica " is an excellent book. Worth a read. It is somewhat darker than the film, but also a bit comical. I recently re-read it and liked it even more the second time.
@@THEDONTTELLSHOW The original story has both of those elements - questioning belief as a fabrication (and as a scheme) and also showing a human need to believe and perhaps a need to express devotion. Huston seemed to be drawn to themes where the characters are both strong and weak. I think that he expected the film to show ambiguity. The author of the original stories the film is derived from embraced Catholicism. So the source material isn't anti-religion. I should re-watch the film, it's been a long time.
I have been contemplating You Were Never Really Here very much lately, even just before the video was uploaded. The film is terrific on all fronts. Lynne Ramsey put her viewers right in the head of Joe. This is a film that makes you actively participate in its world rather than dumbing you down with passive consumption. With striking imagery, the film is a visual masterpiece!
After Hours was really enjoyable. Maybe because I lived that club scene in Soho in NYC in the 80's. I love the Give him a mohawk scene with the Bad Brains on the soundtrack . Bravo, Martin
Apocalypto is a masterpiece! Living in Oblivion has been one of my favorite films since it was released. And the O.G. 3:10 to Yuma is one of my top five favorite westerns. Myself and my collaborators talk about Apocalypto multiple times a week. We're actually working with one of the production companies who did SFX for Apocalypto on a 35mm feature film next year. I can't wait. I haven't seen the Elephants film, but I love the rest of this list, and these films do not get enough love. Often when I see videos of "underrated films, or hidden gems", they are films that are very popular in film circles, but this is a solid list of mostly unseen films. Though, I feel like, if you're a filmmaker, you've seen Living in Oblivion and In The Soup, but maybe that's only if you started making films 20+ year ago.
I didn’t expect to say it, but besides the first and last I’ve seen these - although I suppose underrated doesn’t suggest unknown - underrated though I agree.
An Elephant Sitting Still was/is fantastic. The bleakness you so perfectly describe feels not only like a general feeling for humanity, but also specifically in modern China, for those unable to move upwards in society, but who've lost the anchoring in belief in a system; that belief has been supplanted with a big hole; the same hole Americans fill with dollars. A hard film to watch but also a mesmerising one; I struggle to imagine a film I'd rather add to the Criterion Collection.
Joker: Folie à Deux would be my pick for the most underrated movie ever. The amount of hate it has gotten is simply absurd. I've seen it 3 times so far and loved it more and more after each watch. It has genuinely become one of my all-time favorite movies. (I haven't watched your JFAD video yet but I definitely plan to at some point. The discourse surrounding the movie has just gotten so exhausting that I've been sort of reflexively avoiding all videos about it.) I'd also add Falling, Viggo Mortensen's 2020 directorial debut. It had a decent critical reception but I hardly ever see anybody talking about it which is such a shame. It's a gorgeous film that deftly handles some incredibly difficult topics, with stellar performances from Lance Henriksen and Mortensen himself and a phenomenal score (also by Mortensen).
Something underappreciated about Apocalypto is the amount of green on screen. In a cinema, a place that can take me anywhere ... I've never spent so much time in such a lush environment. Maybe not a unique achievement but certainly for me a welcome and refreshing one. edit: this having to type in black on a black background is getting miserable
"Ace in the Hole" nearly made me throw up with how diabolical it is. I've rarely been so furious at a film. Eisenstein would've loved it. Take that as an endorsement.
A town called panic is such a masterpiece in art. I wonder, I never found this film in high resolution..but the clips you are using seems more than high resolution. From where?
I'm no expert on the Mayans, but it was my understanding that their civilization did not work the way it did in Apocalypto. The villages played a large part in the political landscape. The urban centers were in constant contact with the people in the more rural areas. In the movie, the people in Jaguar Paw's tribe had no idea the city existed even though it was only a day's travel away. I don't know how much I would trumpet Apocalypto's authenticity. All in all, despite this flaw, despite the obvious baggage its director, I still think it's a good movie.
The thing about Apocalypto is, that (from a historical viewpoint) the movie does not make any sense at all. I recommend checking out the Apocalypto Episode by History Buffs, he shows why the movie (from a historical viewpoint and a historical chronology) doesn't make a lick of sense. That is a huge turnoff for me.
Much like Braveheart. Or indeed 99% of Hollywood historical films. Both Apocalypto and Braveheart are well made, good looking movies if you jettison the idea that they have any connexion to reality beyond vague cosmetic theming however.
I Imagine there's only room for so many, so all sins forgiven but several Others that are *Sinfully* Underrated are A Ghost Story, Brimstone, Let the Sunshine In, Empire of Light, Never Gonna Snow Again, A Very Long Engagement, Enemy, The Whistlers, Broken Circle Breakdown, Goode Luck To You Leo Grande, 3000 Years of Longing, Monday, and American Fable.. .
Based _solely_ on the opening films shown, I'd suggest that they're "underrated" because they're melancholic, long, sad movies with an aimless protagonist or a gradual progress toward a spiraling catastrophe. Those things aren't inherently bad, but I'd suggest 90% of people want happier or more snappy fair. (fare?)
My underrated films would be Three Thousand Years of Longing, Speed Racer, Where is Anne Frank?, Asteroid City, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Michel Gondry's Green Hornet, Alien Resurrection, The Matrix Sequels (just any of them), War Horse, Panic Room, Avalon, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Speilberg's AI, I Am Not Madame Bovary and The Fountain.
The problem with Apocalypto is that it is very historical inaccurate. Because you can’t have the Mayan collapse and have the Spanish coming at the end of the film. That just doesn’t make sense because the Mayan collapse happened I think 200 or so years before the Spanish arrived.
Turkish Cinema is very underrated. Here is some masterpiece of Turkish Cinema: "Eşkiya" (1996) "Aşk Filmlerinin Unutulmaz Yönetmeni" (1990) "Gölge Oyunu" (1993) "Ağır Roman" (1997) "Ahhh Güzel İstanbul" (1966)
*_After Hours,_* *_Taxi Driver_* and *_Bringing Out the Dead,_* three psychotically entertaining and deranged studies of nighttime New York by Martin Scorsese --- all masterpieces.
Add to this: *Storytelling* (2001) by Todd Solondz. *Knight of Cups* (2015) by Terrence Malick *Intolerable Cruelty* and *Burn After Reading* by the Coen Brothers
Underrated is the wrong word. Underappreciated is better, although some of these films are still highly appreciated, they're just not mainstream, and they probably shouldn't be.
Funny, I think "3:10 to Yuma" is the definition of overrated. It's in every single list of the best Westerns, and even regularly in lists of best movies period. So I don't really see how it can be considered underrated. As for my personal opinion, I thought this movie was a borefest. 80% of the movie is just them waiting for the train and when it finally happens the showdown is all but disappointing. This is the perfect example of a film that should have been a short film.
For anyone wondering what films were shown in the opening, here is what I able to recognize:
_24 Frames_ (2017), by Abbas Kiarostami
_Empire of Passion_ (1978), by Nagisa Oshima
_The Trial of Joan of Arc_ (1962), by Robert Bresson
_Eureka_ (2000), by Shinji Aoyama
_A Hidden Life_ (2019), by Terrence Malick
Very helpful, thanks! I can add one more.
Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) dir. Monte Hellman
you must see and say about "Anaesthesia dolorosa" 1987 by Alexandr Sokurov and "South" 1983 by Víctor Erice
A Hidden Life is so underrated. Should’ve won the Palme d’Or.
Great help. 🙏
A Town Called Panic is my favorite movie of all time. Been watching since I was a kid, at least once a year. Thank you for spreading the word!!!
Looks like a particularly surreal episode of Robot Chicken.
oh my, what a lovely thing to see andd hear, mate. My sentiment also😇
unbelievable when I saw it in the thumbnail. I still remember seeing this one in theatres with my friends and being the only ones there, sadly almost nobody saw it.
An Elephant Sitting Still is finally mentioned. A bleak yet intimate and poetic movie, one of my favorite from Chinese director beside Kaili Blues.
I saw Living in Oblivion twice in the theatre (Angelika in NYC) when it came out. I’ve often wondered why it seemed to fade into obscurity, given the cast. Thank you for exposing us to so many masterpieces and for your thoughtful and warm intellectual discourse (a rare thing) !

a Criterion release doesn't hurt either
The Weeknd might’ve inadvertently had a hand in that too
It’s an Alice in Wonderland
Thank you for talking about a Town called panic, it’s sad most people don’t know about such a gem of a film.😂
Man, I love to search for the overlooked and underrated works in cinema! Just a great feeling of watching films you love from the most unexpected places!
I can’t help but always love these videos immensely!
You missed THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT!
You Were Never Really Here has always been one of my favorite films of all time it’s so beautiful despite how soul crushing it is thank you for covering it.
Got to see An Elephant Sitting Still at the cinema once. Genuinely a true masterpiece in every sense of the word.
it's the best film on the list
Apocalyto is definitely a super great movie. I'm glad to see it get some appreciation. I can't help but watch it when I see it on. I'm the same way with Scorceses "The Aviator"
Speed Racer 2008 is underrated
Yes! I always say, "Speed Racer is the Wachowskis' masterpiece (not the Matrix movies)"
Agreed.
Hi, folks! Here's my list:
1. WHEN FATHER WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS
2. THE GOALIE'S ANXIETY AT THE PENALTY KICK
3. THE TREE OF GUERNICA
4. FAT CITY
5. BAD COMPANY
6. CHAMPAGNE FOR CAESAR
7. ACROSS 110TH STREET
8. THE HOUR OF THE FURNACES
9. ORDINARY FASCISM AKA TRIUMPH OVER VIOLENCE
10. WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM
Enjoy!
this channel always putting me on random japanese movies
When they do they’re soo top notch, yeah
Absolutely agree
How dare you call Eureka a random Japanese movie 😤
& we all love it 😂
I watched Living in Oblivion years ago on TV but didn't catch the title at the time. You unlocked a memory for me. I remember almost nothing from it except the final scene, which I really loved
Thanks for confirming that Town Called Panic wasn't just a fever dream I had as a kid, I'm gonna have to rewatch it now.
I'm so happy this channel is finally talking about the film that changed my life, saved my life during lockdown. Rest in Peace Hu Bo ❤
you are underrated

I gotta believe you have another 2 sets of six just as overlooked masterworks as made this essay possible. I pray that you do.
After Hours is an absolute classic Scorsese flick! So many good selections here; some I know, others I don't. Keen to check them out. Thanks for the video!
It's worth noting that Ace in the Hole is also based on amalgamations of true events that also became what we now would call media circuses.
You Were Never Really Here is in my top 5 favorite movies. So beautiful and brutal. And I actually really enjoyed Apocalypto, just as long as I don’t expect it to be historically accurate, haha.

I need to rewatch Apocalypto. Thanks for reminding me of its existence.
Omg! I fondly remember watching a town called panic when i was a kid and have been wondering about it recently and since i forgot the name i couldn’t find it so it feels insane seeing it here
It's a great morning when Cinema Cartography drops 💙😁
A town called Panic is absolutely fabulous. My kids loved it. I'd love to see it again
The Fast Runner is a movie that has stuck with me since I watched it alone in my favorite old cinema. It was the first movie ever filmed in Inuit language. It's a folk story in a horror story in a love story.
Smart choice, this is a masterpiece film.
No Regrets for Our Youth 1946
The Cranes are Flying 1957
The Incident 1967
Cyrano de Bergerac 1990
Burnt By The Sun 1994
Panique au village !!!
I also loved An elephant sitting still, though I get why this one is a bit under the radar (themes and length + the director's death)
Good to see you are talking about 'After Hours'. In my opinion, it is Scorsese's one of the best yet very underrated.
Man, I remember def being affected by Apocalyto when seeing it in theatres, but never saw it again.
Id totally forgotten how incredible some of those shots are. Needs a rewatch.
and the music is great too
My list
1:Wiseblood
2:I love you to Death
3:Slingblade
4:A High wind in Jamaica
5:The Day of the Beast (el dia de la beastia)
6:Shock Corridor
7:Shout at the Deavil
8:A Fist full of Dinomite
9:Hell in the Pacific
10: Hawaii
I love Dog Day and The Big Red One. Both are unique for different reasons.
" High Wind in Jamaica " is an excellent book. Worth a read. It is somewhat darker than the film, but also a bit comical. I recently re-read it and liked it even more the second time.
Wise Blood is brilliant. I love how the director intended to make an anti-religion movie but felt afterwards that he'd accidentally done the opposite.
@@THEDONTTELLSHOW The original story has both of those elements - questioning belief as a fabrication (and as a scheme) and also showing a human need to believe and perhaps a need to express devotion.

Living in Oblivion made me realize I couldn't be a filmmaker, after I fell in love with film, at a young age.
Apocalypto is so good, I wish Gibson would direct more
You had me at the poster for Panique au Village...
And.. I refuse to watch it dubbed. The gibberish french is part of the fun.
After Hours was really enjoyable. Maybe because I lived that club scene in Soho in NYC in the 80's. I love the Give him a mohawk scene with the Bad Brains on the soundtrack . Bravo, Martin
A town called panic isn't an isolated project, there is also La Buche de noël and probably other shorts by the same guys.
Apocalypto is a masterpiece! Living in Oblivion has been one of my favorite films since it was released. And the O.G. 3:10 to Yuma is one of my top five favorite westerns.

Thank you for posting. Seriously, it’s like when you eat food that actually tastes real these days. That’s how it feels when you post.
What a great Thanksgiving gift. A video from this channel tastes just as good as that holiday meal. Cheers!
I didn’t expect to say it, but besides the first and last I’ve seen these - although I suppose underrated doesn’t suggest unknown - underrated though I agree.
An Elephant Sitting Still was/is fantastic. The bleakness you so perfectly describe feels not only like a general feeling for humanity, but also specifically in modern China, for those unable to move upwards in society, but who've lost the anchoring in belief in a system; that belief has been supplanted with a big hole; the same hole Americans fill with dollars. A hard film to watch but also a mesmerising one; I struggle to imagine a film I'd rather add to the Criterion Collection.

nice one man, love your crews vid's.
Apocalypse is Mel Gibson's best work. I also like a film called Savior but most people have not heard of it.
"Ace in the Hole" nearly made me throw up with how diabolical it is. I've rarely been so furious at a film. Eisenstein would've loved it. Take that as an endorsement.
Absolutely love seeing After Hours in your list! It's a brilliant gem of dark comedy. It's in my top 10 fav movies.
A town called panic is such a masterpiece in art. I wonder, I never found this film in high resolution..but the clips you are using seems more than high resolution. From where?
Winding Refn's *PUSHER* triptych! Modern Godfather, and one of the first "shaky" camera movement films...
I show living in oblivion to the worthy every chance I can
Excellent work man
"I've got a frog in my hand

describing mel gibson as ‘a history of being controversial’ is a heck of a take.
Everest is, I think you'll agree, quite a large hill.
I'm no expert on the Mayans, but it was my understanding that their civilization did not work the way it did in Apocalypto. The villages played a large part in the political landscape. The urban centers were in constant contact with the people in the more rural areas. In the movie, the people in Jaguar Paw's tribe had no idea the city existed even though it was only a day's travel away. I don't know how much I would trumpet Apocalypto's authenticity.

Much like Braveheart. Or indeed 99% of Hollywood historical films. Both Apocalypto and Braveheart are well made, good looking movies if you jettison the idea that they have any connexion to reality beyond vague cosmetic theming however.
My mind returns to Apocalypto every couple of years and it refuses to stop thinking about it until I experience it again.
You Were Never Really Here is incredible. I wish more people knew about it
I think Phoenix deserved his Oscar, for You Were Never Really Here.
I thought for the longest time I was the only person to ever see a town called panic. I can't understand why it's not more well know
I Imagine there's only room for so many, so all sins forgiven but several Others that are *Sinfully* Underrated are A Ghost Story, Brimstone, Let the Sunshine In, Empire of Light, Never Gonna Snow Again, A Very Long Engagement, Enemy, The Whistlers, Broken Circle Breakdown, Goode Luck To You Leo Grande, 3000 Years of Longing, Monday, and American Fable.. .
I adore the movie a town called panic, it is so funny and artistic at the same time.
I own all of A Town Called Panic, movie, specials, and the episodes. It's a good time, and NOT in English
So the second half of Apocalypto is a Rambo Flick! Love the Film one of the most nerve wrecking ones
Based _solely_ on the opening films shown, I'd suggest that they're "underrated" because they're melancholic, long, sad movies with an aimless protagonist or a gradual progress toward a spiraling catastrophe.
Those things aren't inherently bad, but I'd suggest 90% of people want happier or more snappy fair. (fare?)
I think a Town called Panic and After Hours are two of the greatest films ever made.
My underrated films would be Three Thousand Years of Longing, Speed Racer, Where is Anne Frank?, Asteroid City, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Michel Gondry's Green Hornet, Alien Resurrection, The Matrix Sequels (just any of them), War Horse, Panic Room, Avalon, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Speilberg's AI, I Am Not Madame Bovary and The Fountain.
Asteroid City and The Fountain are wonderful, and underrated
What are the names of some of the films that were shown in the intro?
I just saw the 1977 movie sorcerer...wow that was dark.
I wish you people were on letterboxd!
The problem with Apocalypto is that it is very historical inaccurate. Because you can’t have the Mayan collapse and have the Spanish coming at the end of the film. That just doesn’t make sense because the Mayan collapse happened I think 200 or so years before the Spanish arrived.
Saw "You were never really here", didn't like it, but don't remember why. Should check it again.
Aftery hours and ace in the hole are forgotten?
Turkish Cinema is very underrated. Here is some masterpiece of Turkish Cinema:
"Eşkiya" (1996)
"Aşk Filmlerinin Unutulmaz Yönetmeni" (1990)
"Gölge Oyunu" (1993)
"Ağır Roman" (1997)
"Ahhh Güzel İstanbul" (1966)
A few more to add to my list.
Every movie is underrated according to youtube-comments, unless it's being constantly brought up today in movie discussions.
*_After Hours,_* *_Taxi Driver_* and *_Bringing Out the Dead,_* three psychotically entertaining and deranged studies of nighttime New York by Martin Scorsese --- all masterpieces.
Add to this:
*Storytelling* (2001) by Todd Solondz.
*Knight of Cups* (2015) by Terrence Malick
*Intolerable Cruelty* and *Burn After Reading* by the Coen Brothers
What is the film at 0:40?
The Trial of Joan of Arc 1960
I think you would love to watch Repentance, Georgian Film.
what movies are the first and second frames from? ty
Love Liza
Please do Nosferatu by Robert Eggers next
Underrated is the wrong word. Underappreciated is better, although some of these films are still highly appreciated, they're just not mainstream, and they probably shouldn't be.
After Hours is one of my 10/10s
Funny, I think "3:10 to Yuma" is the definition of overrated. It's in every single list of the best Westerns, and even regularly in lists of best movies period. So I don't really see how it can be considered underrated. As for my personal opinion, I thought this movie was a borefest. 80% of the movie is just them waiting for the train and when it finally happens the showdown is all but disappointing. This is the perfect example of a film that should have been a short film.
Have i seen “at home among strangers” 1974?
Underatted by whom, I adore "Apocalypto", hate the director, admire his talent, 3.10 To Yuma and Ace in the Hole?
