Highly intelligent, impassioned even lyrical review. All the films are among my favs."To Live and Die in LA" is now almost forgotten but is unforgettable. It features Willem Dafoe's first performance and the under rated John Pankow. "Blood Simple" features the two Walshes: E. Emmet Walsh and J.T. Walsh, RIP to both. An honorable mention to this list is "Eight Million Ways to Die (1986)," starring Jeff Bridges.

Well done. Some of my all time favorite movies. Especially Blue Velvet and To Live And Die In L.A. Oh yeah and Manhunter.

Great list.

Best movie on this list, IMHO, is Blood Simple.

What is the definition of underrated? Most of them are all big box office success and critically succeeded too. Those movies changed director’s career in a good way. Once upon a time in America was a tragic at the time but now we have 4 and a half hour version. People cares about that movie a lot

Come on now... Blue Velvet is better than Thief.

I could literally listen to you talk for hrs lol! You’ve got a sub

I'm sorry, but how can a girl compile a list like this? Subscribed 👌

Lol...Sea of Love : "...leaves a bitter after taste and a void in your soul". Did we watch the same film? 😊 The film is a masterpiece and not at all dark and sordid as your commentary says. Just ordinary flawed human beings caught up in life around the search for a serial killer.

Good movies!
