And Now: Something Different

Underrated

Whenever a new movie is set to release, trailers offer a glimpse of the story and events, and most movies have several teasers and full trailers promoting them. Once that happens, you can bet there will be more than a few videos posted online analyzing the trailers, guessing at the plot, and discussing everything else that happens in the film. That's especially true of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that's hardly the only franchise that sees this sort of treatment. Often, overexposure leads to some people finding out more about the movie than they want to. This could result in spoiling a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-plot-twist-movies/orrin-grey">twist</a> or another aspect of the film that takes the joy of watching it.As a result, there are tons of movies to watch without knowing anything that are far better for it. Imagine seeing something like The Sixth Sense without knowing that critical piece of information that comes in the form of a massive twist at the end. The same could be said for The Usual Suspects and many other movies. Going in blind makes those films better for the viewer, but they're hardly the only ones. The movies on this list are all underrated masterpieces, and they all have something special that only works if the viewer doesn't know anything about the film before seeing it. Take a look at them down below, and if you agree with any of the picks, be sure to upvote it to see which movie rises to the top!Seeing as every movie on here is one that would be spoiled by not going in blind, consider this a SPOILER WARNING for every item on this list!

The best 2022 western movies tend to give us a dramatized glimpse of what life was like in the wild west. There are also several sub-genres present in this year's top western films. Nope is a horror western that also incorporates sci-fi elements while Redeeming Love is a faith-based dramatic romance western.

Looking closer at the '80s movies you've probably already committed to memory.

'80s Movie Marathon

Pop Culture

The 1980s were a great decade for comedy. On top of the teen and family films of John Hughes, the various releases launching the film careers of Saturday Night Live cast members, and the countless memorable parodies now thought to be classics of the genre, there are plenty of underrated comedies, as well. Some of these films were once beloved but have been forgotten over time, while others were lost in the shuffle and never got the attention they deserved. Whether underappreciated or overlooked, each of these 1980s comedies is worth revisiting.&nbsp;This was a decade of blockbusters, big names, and a preoccupation with consumerism. This led to multiple massively successful comedies, and even more imitators looking to capitalize on their success. Independent cinema would explode the following decade, filling the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-underrated-comedies-of-1990s/ryan-izay">1990s with plenty of its own underrated comedies</a>, but in the '80s, these were more typically passion projects funded by studios. They may have failed to make enough at the box office to be considered a success, but sometimes this was just a sign the films were ahead of their time. In an age where more and more of film history is becoming available through various streaming options, modern audiences can reevaluate and decide for themselves.&nbsp;

Remakes & Reboots

Rebooting a franchise is never easy. No matter what, the filmmakers are never going to be able to successfully <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-remakes-of-classic-movies/jacob-shelton">sway everyone who loves the original property</a>, and the best movie reboots are those that embrace the fact that they're doing something that's been done before.The most interesting thing about all of the reboots that never should have been made collected here is that they <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-were-supposed-to-have-sequels/joedonley">never made it past one movie</a> for different reasons. Some of them were complete disasters at the box office, others were lambasted by fans, and a few made an insane amount of money and the filmmakers just couldn't get their stuff together to make another movie.It's not for us to question why these attempted reboots exist; we're simply here to say, “Wow, these really didn't pan out the way anyone hoped.”
