The Best Films on IMDB ranked 6.0 OR LOWER.
Everyone's is entitled to their own opinion of course, but these are MY best films under 6.1 on IMDB... as of 3/7/16, each of these is ranked 6.0 or lower. A lot of these get dumped-on even though many are actually quite good, especially within their genre. Fine, you can say that you don't like movies like GI Jane or Ice Pirates, but you cannot deny one is pretty funny and the other has some good action. Some of them get the shaft, i think, because they divisive... like World Trade Center, or Leap of Faith. Others are avante garde or racy like Only God Forgives or Passion. EIther way, I think these movies are a bit better than their score here.

- DirectorBen C. LucasStarsOliver AcklandAdelaide ClemensAlex RussellWhen a high school party goes dangerously off the rails, one teenager finds that revenge is just a computer click away.Truly frightening and poignant in the gadget-age.
- DirectorRobert ButlerStarsTim MathesonJennifer RunyonStephen FurstBob McGraw is in his 12th year of college, goofing his way through life, until he has to win a river rafting race with three college buddies.TIm Matheson's "Bob McGraw" is an ICON in terms of comedy leads. Under-rated boob-comedy from the 80's has some cheese, but mostly it's just hilarious fun.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsNicolas CageMichael PeñaMaria BelloTwo Port Authority police officers become trapped under the rubble of the World Trade Center.Pena and Cage are incredible here, and this film, imo, may be the most under-rated film on IMDB. I challenge all those who oppose it - asking "where is the political agenda"?
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsRachel McAdamsNoomi RapaceKaroline HerfurthThe rivalry between the manipulative boss of an advertising agency and her talented protégée escalates from stealing credit to public humiliation to murder.DePalma back at his noir-thriller best. Good flick!
- DirectorJames BridgesStarsMichael J. FoxKiefer SutherlandPhoebe CatesA disillusioned young writer living in New York City turns to drugs and drinking to block out the memories of his dead mother and estranged wife.I can see how the downer-vibe would throw some off, but this is an examination of the era it was made, and a great performance from Fox. Good soundtrack too.
- DirectorBrian G. HuttonStarsTom SelleckBess ArmstrongJack WestonDuring WW1, an alcoholic American biplane pilot is hired by the spoiled daughter of an industrialist to find her father who disappeared in Asia.Just fun.
- DirectorMichael ChapmanStarsTom CruiseLea ThompsonCraig T. NelsonAn ambitious young football star is trapped in a dying mill town--unless his gridiron skills can win him a way out.As realistic as HS football films have been.
- DirectorJoan Micklin SilverStarsPatrick DempseyKate JacksonRobert GintyRandy is still unfocused after 2 years in college. When his dad refuses to keep paying his tuition, he gets a job delivering pizzas. Several alluring cougars pay him $200 for pizza delivery and "services rendered." As for their husbands.another one that is just good fun... infinitely rewatchable.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsDennis HopperCaroline WilliamsJim SiedowA radio host is victimized by the cannibal family as a former Texas marshal hunts them.The bridge scene is terrifying, and this isn't far behind the original. Very different, but not far behind either.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodCharlie SheenRaul JuliaA veteran detective is assigned a rookie partner after his previous partner is killed by a car theft gang. He is determined to apprehend those responsible for his friend's death but his new partner isn't really up to the task.I dunno why everyone hates on this film so much. It's 10x better than the "Ride-Along" movies, and genuinely hilarious at times. Popcorn-fare if there ever was.
- DirectorBrian RobbinsStarsEddie MurphyCliff CurtisKerry WashingtonAfter stretching the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru, literary agent Jack McCall finds a Bodhi tree on his property. Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word he speaks.Probably a product of Eddie picking some really suspect roles over the last two decades, but overall, this is a pretty good movie imo.
- DirectorPeter CornwellStarsVirginia MadsenMartin DonovanElias KoteasAfter a family is forced to relocate for their son's health, they begin experiencing supernatural behavior in their new home, and uncover a sinister history.Amazing how many bad horror films score above 6.0 on here, and this is below.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsDemi MooreViggo MortensenAnne BancroftLt. Jordan, a US Navy topographic analyst, joins the US Navy Special Warfare Group and struggles to prove her worth in a unit dominated by men. But a cynical woman Texan senator has sold her out.Sure, a pillar of the over-blown Bruckheimer stuff, but this is before it wore-thin, and perhaps the best of that lot. Good lead performance.. Viggo is also good. Intense flick.
- DirectorCameron CroweStarsBradley CooperRachel McAdamsEmma StoneA celebrated military contractor returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and reconnects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him.sure, probably a bit unrealistic, but the characters are great and the acting is great too. I actually have this in my top-20 for 2015.
- DirectorRobert BorisStarsRob LoweAlly SheedyAmanda PaysA young American hustler pursues the girl of his dreams to Oxford, where he must enroll to obtain her.I looks like a stupid comedy from the 80's, but in reality its a bit more of a drama with British flair.
- DirectorJonathan WacksStarsEthan HawkeTeri PoloBrian McNamaraTom's in love with the cute house sitter next door. He's too shy but his older brother visits and helps Tom with the first date. Things don't go as planned.Just pure fun.
- DirectorArthur HillerStarsJohn GoodmanKelly McGillisTrini AlvaradoBabe Ruth becomes a baseball legend but is unheroic to those who know him.Goodman's performance alone is worth 6.1
- DirectorNorman TokarStarsKen BerrySandy DuncanHarry MorganThree scientists help an Alien feline, stranded on Earth, to repair its damaged spacecraft in order to return home but their efforts are hampered by inept army officials and foreign spies.Another harmless and delightful film on the list.
- DirectorRoger SpottiswoodeStarsRobin WilliamsKurt RussellPamela ReedA small-town loser determines to have one more shot at the big time by winning a football game.Interesting concept, and Russel and Williams lead the way.
- DirectorMichael GornickStarsGeorge KennedyLois ChilesDomenick JohnThree macabre tales from the latest issue of a boy's favorite comic book, dealing with a vengeful wooden Native American, a monstrous blob in a lake, and an undying hitchhiker.I think the first segment is the only thing keeping this around 6. The Raft, and the Hitchhiker are both great, and the film is genuinely scary with good gore.
- DirectorSandy ColloraStarsClark BartramDamion PoitierIsaac C. Singleton Jr.A spaceship crashes on a desert planet with 3 survivors besides the escaped prisoner. Extraction's in 110 hours.Deserves more for what it accomplished given it's budget constraints.
- DirectorBob OdenkirkStarsDax ShepardWill ArnettChi McBrideWhen a career criminal's plan for revenge is thwarted by unlikely circumstances, he puts his intended victim's son in his place by putting him in prison...and then joining him.Starts like a stupid comedy, ends like a very smart one.
- DirectorNicholas MeyerStarsGene HackmanMikhail BaryshnikovKurtwood SmithA retired CIA agent is recruited to participate in a prisoner exchange with the Russians.It's a bit unrealistic and ends rather abruptly, but the two leads mesh and the film just works. Even the abrupt ending adds a bit of intrigue.
- DirectorJonathan KaplanStarsMatthew BroderickHelen HuntWillieAn Air Force pilot joins a top secret military experiment involving chimps, but begins to suspect there might be something more to the mysterious "Project X".Good flick.
- DirectorRichard PearceStarsSteve MartinDebra WingerLolita DavidovichFake faith healer Jonas Nightingale is stranded in a small town where he finds he can't fool all of the people all of the time.Surely garnering some hate for it's unflattering take on evangelism. Great soundtrack, good movie.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsScott GlennIan McKellenAlberta WatsonNazis are forced to turn to a Jewish historian for help in battling the ancient demon they have inadvertently freed from its prison.Can't believe this still hasn't got a DVD release.
- DirectorAlister GriersonStarsRhys WakefieldAllison CratchleyChristopher James BakerAn underwater cave diving team experiences a life-threatening crisis during an expedition to the unexplored and least accessible cave system in the world.The acting in the first half is VERY suspect, but the last 30-45 minutes is nail-biting, under-rated action stuff. If you walked-in half way through it - you'd have to give it an 8.
- DirectorJody HillStarsSeth RogenAnna FarisRay LiottaBi-polar mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper's paradise into his personal peep show. But when Barnhardt can't bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective is recruited to close the case.Cross-Genre gory, irreverent comedy... that pretty much sums it up.
- DirectorStewart RaffillStarsRobert UrichMary CrosbyMichael D. RobertsIn a distant future scarce of water, space pirates get caught after stealing ice from a spaceship. They are sold to a princess looking for her dad. He might have found a planet abundant with water.It's a slapstick comedy people. If you take this serious, sure, it's a 5.2.. if you just come along for a good ride, it's a 7.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsVince VaughnKevin JamesWinona RyderA man discovers that his best friend's wife is having an affair.Vaughn's been a pillar of the over-hollywooded dram-com scene, but this is actually a decent flick.
- DirectorBlake EdwardsStarsDudley MooreBo DerekJulie AndrewsA Hollywood composer goes through a mid-life crisis and becomes infatuated with a sexy, newly married woman.Moore is spectacular, and the the film is a meaningless, shallow, BLAST>!
- DirectorNicolas Winding RefnStarsRyan GoslingKristin Scott ThomasVithaya PansringarmJulian, a drug-smuggler thriving in Bangkok's criminal underworld, sees his life get even more complicated when his mother compels him to find and kill whoever is responsible for his brother's recent death.Not for everyone. I get it. At times it's masterful.
