I'm sorry was this supposed to be a list of the most over-rated banal movies
of all time?
Cause this is a great list for that.
Thanks for playing

Seeing as this has morphed into a list of favorites, rather than
under-rated, I will add some favorites and, hopefully, some of them will
also qualify as under-rated or nearly forgotten.

If you haven't seen it, rent "Tales of Hoffman" based on the Offenbach
opera of the same name, but with most of the roles played by dancers lip
syncing. It's from the same production team as "The Red Shoes" and
features many of the same legendary dancers: Massine, Helpman, Shearer,
et al.

Haven't seen either of these - I'll have to check them out since I never
miss a dance movie if I can help it.

"License To Drive " - Are you serious? I love this film, but
underrated? Come on! What, should it have won an Oscar or something?
Should it have propelled Feldman or Haim to superstar status (they
were already there at the time)?
