Historical movies offer viewers a chance to see important events and time periods come to life. With the right script and a strong vision from the director, these films provide insight into the things that have shaped our world. Of course, excellent performances are also a vital part of the equation. You need to have actors who can make the stories feel vivid and urgent. Over the decades, many a star has scored an Oscar for doing just that in a historical movie, whether based on a true story or just a solid piece of fiction.For every case where that's happened, though, there's another where an actor gave an underrated performance. Sometimes it was because they had a supporting role, or one that wasn't as showy as a co-star's. Other times, the movies themselves didn't light up the box office to the degree that they deserved to. Whatever the case, the following actors all brought something incredibly special to the historical movies in which they appeared. Their efforts deserve to be discovered and appreciated.&nbsp;

While we all have our own idea&nbsp;of who the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers" target="_blank">best singers of all time</a> are, the most famous takes a little more into account. Sure, many of these popular singers could also be considered the best ever or&nbsp;the best of their time, but talent isn&#39;t the only factor in determining the most famous singers in the world right now.

It’s no secret that many of Hollywood’s greatest stories <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-based-on-books">originate from novels</a>, but you might be surprised to learn which authors are responsible for your favorite adaptations. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-based-on-stephen-king-books/ranker-film">Stephen King</a>, JK Rowling, and Jane Austen are household names, but Philip K. Dick, Walter Tevis, and Patricia Highsmith have inspired movies and TV shows with reputations on par with&nbsp;The Shining,&nbsp;Harry Potter, and&nbsp;Pride and Prejudice.&nbsp;Authors who have a surprisingly excellent track record on-screen may be overlooked for a number of reasons. In some cases, their stories were picked up by A-list filmmakers whose fame eclipsed theirs. Daphne du Maurier, for example, produced stories that became the basis of three Alfred Hitchcock movies that are now almost exclusively associated with him. Another reason is variety. Authors like Richard Matheson and Walter Tevis wrote novels that spanned such a wide range of genres that it’s hard to believe the movies and television shows they inspired came from the same person. Few would assume that the 1980 period romance&nbsp;Somewhere in Time&nbsp;was dreamed up by the man who wrote the story behind Will Smith’s post-apocalyptic thriller&nbsp;I Am Legend. Whatever the reason for their undeserved anonymity, these authors created stories that <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-and-movies-you-didn-t-know-were-based-on-books/brent-sprecher">found a wide fandom</a> when they were brought to the screen.

'80s Movie Marathon

Total Nerd

The 1980s were a very important time for comedy. There were more of the all-time greats working at their peak during that decade than in any other - Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, and so many others. Unsurprisingly, they turned out a series of movies that have gone on to become certified classics. Some they did individually, and others they did in various pairings. Audiences continue to enjoy them many years after their initial releases.Those same actors also had their share of pictures that were overlooked, either because they were a bit too ahead of the curve or got lost amid crowded release dates. In many cases, they're great demonstrations of the stars trying new ideas or showing off sides to their talent that they hadn't been able to show up to that point. Now is a good time to discover any of them that you may have missed. You're guaranteed to get a few good laughs from these overlooked movies.

1990s

The 1990s was something of a golden age for film comedy, and it was particularly notable for the significant number of comedy stars who came to dominate the box office. However, it’s important to point out how even those who achieved true superstardom also had their fair share of flops and underappreciated films.Indeed, there is a great deal to be said for just these types of films, which help to shine an important light on just how talented and hard-working many of the decade’s most important actors truly were. Perhaps just as importantly, even the most underrated films from 1990s film stars managed to be incredibly funny, arguably the most important task of a comedy movie.

&quot;Tough guys&quot;&nbsp;are usually revealed to be big ol&rsquo; softies - something society has shamed them into hiding beneath their muscle-clad, action-hero personas - simply because they can&#39;t just be like everyone else, can they? Not only does Hollywood deal often in this archetype, but it also often tackles a subgenre in which <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-action-stars?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">action movie stars</a> find themselves in charge of kids - in some cases just one kid, in other cases a whole boatload of them.

These family-friendly comedic outings see their stars drop their guns, swords, or&nbsp;shields and trade them in for baby bottles and binkies. This break from the norm often reaches a more mainstream audience, dialing the R rating down to a PG. From Arnold Schwarzenegger to Dwayne &quot;The Rock&quot;&nbsp;Johnson,&nbsp;their reluctance doesn&#39;t always make them the best babysitters at first (especially when they allow the kids to engage in violent or otherwise dangerous activities), but eventually, their inner softies take over.

Vote up the tough guys who&#39;ve proven they can handle themselves, in case you ever need an emergency babysitter.

There is something enduringly appealing about the war film, even if the genre sometimes features underrated performances from its main cast. These are the types of films which immerse the viewer in the dark, sinister and terrifying world of combat. However, while war films are often praised for their cinematography and epic scope, it’s truly the acting that helps to elevate them into the realm of greatness.The men and women who appear in these films help to ground the broader picture, anchoring the drama and giving audiences people they can cheer for and care about, often showing the very human, and devastating, impact it has on the individual.&nbsp;

Distinguishing Features

There’s seemingly a cheat code to making a character instantly appear tough, intimidating, and gritty: a shaved head. Commonly used in action films, this trick to toughen up characters is often used as a signifier to the audience that this person is ready for a fight. If they enter the story that way, it's probably a sign they're not to be trifled with; if they lose their hair mid-movie, it's usually representative of a harsh change in the character. Long a stereotype, it has been&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/healthmain/guys-shaved-heads-seem-tougher-study-says-919445">proven by science</a> that bald people appear tougher and more intimidating than those with hair. And by comparing the typical roles of these actors to those they play with a shaved head, it becomes glaringly obvious that the simple trick is an effective one.&nbsp;However, this shortcut — not a shaved head pun —&nbsp;isn’t only a method of displaying a character's grit, but can also be used as a tool to separate preconceived notions one might have about a character due to the actor portraying them. Once you become a movie star, it gets difficult to separate the face from the name. Whether they typically play the goofy hot guy or the pretty teen star, the last thing an actor wants is to not be taken seriously. Sometimes, when the role permits, the best thing an actor can do is release themselves from those previous bonds and make themselves unrecognizable. Sometimes that means losing or gaining weight or donning a wig and makeup - but when they choose to depart with their hair, it often gives us a new screen presence entirely.

In Hollywood, success is a fickle thing. An actor can take home an Oscar one year only to fade into obscurity after a string of flops the next. But <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-actors-who-deserve-comebacks/celebrity-lists">everyone loves a comeback</a>, and the last year had a lot to offer. Some were long overdue, while others were downright surprising. British actress Samantha Morton, for example, has been consistently lauded by critics and peers throughout her career but hasn’t gotten meaty enough roles to showcase her considerable talents since the early 2000s. Ke Huy Quan, on the other hand, was all but forgotten as an actor. Having disappeared from the big screen for over 30 years, the&nbsp;Indiana Jones&nbsp;star made a triumphant return in a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-science-fiction-movies-2022/jason-bancroft">major sci-fi movie</a>, launching one of the most unexpected and delightful second acts of the year.Some of the actors who got their mojo back leaped into <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-broke-type-casting/anncasano">brand new territory</a> while others went back to their roots. Brendan Fraser, who will always be remembered as a family-friendly '90s action star, relaunched his career with an emotionally complex role in the latest movie from controversial director Darren Aronofsky. Jennifer Lawrence, by contrast, emerged from a multi-year hiatus to start making indie movies again more than a decade after the low-budget noir&nbsp;Winter’s Bone&nbsp;made her a star.
