Underated movies people should consider viewing

There are so many movies out there that others haven't seen due to competition of other more popular new film releases or the theme and premise of the movie shown in trailers to be unappealing to the general audience. I personally found some gems that some of you may like.

Dancer in the Dark

I love to dance, but for some reason i don't seem to enjoy musicals in movies all to much, except for old Disney films but that's mostly due to childhood nostalgia. Now after all these years i can say there is one film of the musical genre that i had the pleasure of enjoying. I gotta say that Bjork is a very good actress. If this was not an independent film she would be in contention for an Oscar award, for a musician to make a transition to film and put out a performance like that is impressive. However i should also credit Lars von Trier who did a great job in putting it all together, he has proven to be a very good director, and his work is consistently proving to be top notch similar to Christopher Nolan. I think in a year or so he will be just as famous as Mr Nolan. Please all of you who want to give musicals a try check it out, you won't be disappointed.



Count of Monte Cristo

Count of Monte Cristo is another popular adventure adaptation by the famous french writer Alexandre Dumas, père. Well I'm not entirely sure how famous he is but he is the one who created the story of the Three Musketeers, and Twenty Years After (i don't think there is a film on this story, i could be wrong here). This films is the 2002 adaptation directed by Kevin Reynolds. It is a romantic adventure taking place in France, Italy, and the Islands around the Mediterranean, the focuses on the relationship of 2 best friends Fernand Mondego and Edmond Dantes, the movie touches on justice, hope, mercy, vengeance and forgiveness.


There will be more, i keep y'all posted.
