Criminally underrated

And unusual in that its a direct shot at Bill Clinton yet should be a cautionary tale in any year

Wag the Dog and Primary Colors are not easy to find. You'd think that one of the services would have had both streaming last fall for sure.

No shit. I act like I've been mugged if I have to pay per view on Prime or Netflix or xfinity.

Wag the Dog is on Hoopla (King County Library) for streaming @GrundleStiltzkin.
 
Oh, and totally another strong year. The problem I have with contests like this is that there are the movies I "enjoy" most, then there are the movies that are the "best." I could watch The Fifth Element three times per year and it wouldn't get old. But is it the best on the list? For this kind of award, I usually err toward the movie that is the most powerful and provokes the strongest reaction/thought/etc. or is the deepest or most original.

I really liked Wag the Dog a lot. Donnie Brasco is one of two mob/gangster movies I can think of off the top of my head that I actually like. I think three of my favorite movies from this year didn't even make the pole, and those are Contact (book was even better), Grosse Pointe Blank, and Devil's Advocate.

Cosigned on those two. Both kinda underrated.

Co-cosigned. Contact: MM and JF...swoooooooon
 
Good Will Hunting is one of my favorite movies ... it’s spectacular in so many ways

Titanic is an epic ... and Kate’s bosom

But we’re in Yellow Piss’s Record Shop and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better soundtrack than Boogie Nights ... and no other movie has a sassy Nina Hartley cuckolding Little Bill

I fucking love Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights. Killer sound track.
 
This one was hard. I love Fifth Element and have seen it a hundred times. In fact when they premiered the twentieth anniversary showing at the SF Metreon IMAX I was first in line. And if I’m in a noir mood, LA Confidential is hard to top. I love the character of Bud. As a kid he made me want to be a cop. Jackie Brown is the most underrated Tarantino movie.
