Underrated/under appreciated films

Ravenous(1999) - I've watched it a few times now. I still am not sure if it's supposed to be like the darkest comedy ever or if it's supposed to be serious. The original trailers seem comedic, but then the film does not. Unless it's the darkest comedy ever. Still very entertaining either way. Great soundtrack as well.
Pandorum(2009) - Has an "Event Horizon" feel to it with a neat little ending. Definitely recommend it to science fiction fans, especially if you like horror sci-fi horror.

I really liked Ravenous
the humor is REALLY dark "He's licking my wound !!!!"
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Dark City is fantastic and almost no one saw it
Memento is very good, so too King of the Ants
Jerry and Tom is oh so dark in in its humor
Re-animator and Bride of Re-animator
Dead Alive
Bad Taste
Consuming Passions (critics panned it, I still liked it)

Documentary category:
We Were Here
From my experiences in the 80s and 90s with AIDS, this documentary really puts the viewer there. I cried most of the way through it, and also had to watch it in several stints, it was just too intense for me.

I saw it in the theater, and it was fantastic.

Renaissance was a great movie that didn't get as much love as I though it deserved.
