Yep... I just loved the "book report" sequence.

This is a great pick for an underrated movie. I thought it was hilarious.

It's a movie that didn't appeal to most of the demographic out there at the time.

It wasn't a "teenage-movie" like those that came out in the late 80's. It was aimed at a slightly older audience. But not too much older. I don't think it would have appealed to the 35+ crowd.

I was in my late 20's when I watched it the first time and simply howled through the whole thing. I thought it was great! Yeah, it was over-the-top, but in a lot of ways very much like what high school was like at that time.

Just Googled it, and yes, I have seen it. The big kid was perfect for the role.

Agreed. Wish they would have expanded on his character more, but still pretty good.

IMDB has a rating of 7.2 for the film which of course is pretty good.

He really was perfect for that role. I wonder if kids still schedule fights like they did back then. I had a few of those but I remember one guy in high school telling me to meet him at a specific time. I punched him in the face immediately and asked if he wanted any more after school. Turned out he didn't.

I think most schools have a zero tolerance policy, so if they're scheduling fights, they're doing it after school and far from school property.

I hope they've cracked down on it because some of those fights were brutal - especially with the planning that got factored in. I'm pretty sure I saved a friend's life in middle school. He had a scheduled fight I knew he couldn't win. After getting his *** kicked, the other guy grabbed his head to start slamming it into the ground. That's when I dove in to stop it. It was always a slippery slope on when to intervene but this one was obvious.

Apologies to everyone because I keep going off-topic. I'm quite sure my middle school stories are not that interesting.

Not sure the first two classify as underrated.

Time split creating an alternate timeline that had to be fixed. It fixed itself at the end

It fixed itself, or did Donnie fix it with the help of The Philosophy of Time Travel?

Here is a few with Viggo in them

Eastern Promises...really like this movie although it is one I normally would find kind of boring.
Green Book

And although probably not really an underrated movie but Hidalgo. I think I catch myself watching it everytime I see it on some channel.

Viggo really does a great job and has been in so many movies. Early on you did not know him but when you go back and watch some movies and see a young viggo in a bunch of stuff...

Witness
Young guns II
Carlitos way
The Prophecy

Timerider the adventure of lyle swann
Never a box office smash and many probably never heard of it.
But still an enjoyable movie.

Guy is baja style motorcycle racer who accidentally gets in an area off grid that was doing a scientific exp and of course gets transferred back in time to the old west days.

Younger guys might not like this. Guys who lived through 80 90s movies...probably will like it.

Love Viggo.....
Green Book is an excellent movie that i have watched several times over and loved it every time.
Also Captain Fantastic which came out around 4 years ago is very good.

Add A History of Violence, The Road and A Perfect Murder to the list.

Fun fact: A History of Violence was the last movie released on VHS.

"White Buffalo".

Currently rated 6.2 on IMDB.

Not Charles Bronson's best film, but love the story. It's on the edge of being a western-themed horror pic.

Yeah, it's over-the-top, but between the cast:

Charles Bronson
Jack Warden
Will Sampson
Kim Novak
Clint Walker
Stuart Whitman
Slim Pickens
and John Carradine.

the cinematography and the story itself it's a very enjoyable flick.

Not your typical western and that sets it apart.

And "Great White Buffalo" is a great Ted Nugent song! ...Yeah, I'm drinking, so what?

I would say both. I think time was trying to fix itself...self repair. I don't think Donnie would just allow himself to die without being heavily influenced. But it's been a while since i've seen it.
