It's not exactly underrated - it's widely considered one of the 10 best films of the 21st century.

Meloncholia is good - try that, another one considered among the century's best.

Dogville is pretty underrated and also kino.

>it's widely considered one of the 10 best films of the 21st century

odd that I never heard of it, I watch about 3 films a day on average, although some films slip through my fingers, I remember watching Das Boot for the first time and being shocked I had heard of it before

fucking narrator was the only flaw in this movie

Best i've seen recently is Columbus by a first-time director named Kogonada. Jackie flew way under the radar, Portman got robbed out of an Oscar on it.

Animal Kingdom

I found the narration quite good desu, made it feel like a book, they could have chosen someone with a more renowned voice

The Dirty Dozen
Vanishing Point (UK version)
Jeremiah Johnson
Rolling Thunder
The Straight Story

respect man. Columbus is MOTY.

Marie Antoinette (2006)

wrong

I've heard of this film, I might check it out later

Wrong. Disliking the narrator is pleb filter
The voice is good, reminds me of a Ken Burns documentary

>Meloncholia is good
Kill yourself.

edit.
I actually think it was better they used a unknown voice actor, it felt more real

>"That's Dusty, my 'ol horse."
>- Jesse James as he turns his back on death
This line will haunt me forever

Fantastic movie and the ending is GOAT. The studio had no idea on how to market it and so nearly didn't advertise it at all. Possibly the reason as to why it's so little known

The music is K I N O

>dat soundtrack
>no eulogies

this scene

the epilogue after that...

man...

>It's not exactly underrated - it's widely considered one of the 10 best films of the 21st century.

Are you on fucking crack??????????

“Don’t that picture look dusty”

yes the epilogue is very good

the description of Robert's death at the end gave me goosebumps

"The shotgun would ignite,
and Ella Mae would scream...

but Robert Ford would only lay on the floor
and look at the ceiling...

the light going out of his eyes...

before he could find the right words."

He's right that it's not underrated. It won an oscar for cinematography.

I think underrated is the wrong word, it's a good movie and it got good reviews.

relatively unknown, underperformed at the box office, but not underrated.

It was nominated. Deakins has yet to win an oscar.

This film felt like a fairy tale. A mesmerising feeling i’ve never had before. anyone else?

its not underratd but its not top 10 or anywhere clos

>Deakins has yet to win an oscar.
honestly wtf

For me it's during the moment Jesse questions Bob about the truth, and Bob lies to his face. Well, not to his face, because he can't even look him in the eyes. It's the moment Jesse realizes that not only has he been betrayed, but that the man to do so is too much of a coward to confront him directly. Because I think, despite knowing Bob's intentions, he didn't think Bob would lie to his face in his own house. Which is why he allows them to kill him, because they're too cowardly to do it themselves.

Well, good riddance, as he's switched to cancer digital.

this haunts me

and damn the soundtracks were good, Nick Cave really surpassed himself

Turned it off after wasting 30 minutes watching literally nothing happen.

Waste of Brad Pitt's acting talents. He blows at doing accents by the way.

>Turned it off after wasting 30 minutes watching literally nothing happen

didn't the train robbery happen in the first half hour?

were you sleeping during this part or something

I didn't know you had been appointed the arbiter of artistic integrity. Was it autism?

I believe is was a test to confirm where Bob is at.

He always had suspicion about him & I believe he had read that paper long before the breakfast scene & he just threw it on the couch to see who bites.
How could Jesse not question a piece of the paper being hidden under the pillow.

I don't understand people that dislike the narrator, I think it's one of the movie's stronger points

I saw this one as a little kid, I enjoyed it a lot.
