What is your favorite underrated movie and why? What makes it underrated? How did you find it?

“Winter’s Bone” - Jennifer Lawrence’s first movie as the star and she carries the movie. This is one of my all time favorite movies about death and desperation and violence and meth.

“Am I Danny Parker, meth freak or Tom Allen, trumpet player? What am I? Husband? Druggie? Judas Iscariot? Friend? Enemy? I don’t know anymore. Maybe you can tell me who I am, friend.”

“Mumford, why does everyone in this town like you?” “I don’t know. Why do you like me?”

Also, the “Station Agent” which is a perfect slice of life that could be maudlin but never panders or falls into melodrama. A tour de force.

“McDonald’s is down the street. Now get out of my restaurant!”

“The magic isn’t in what gets you together. The magic is in what keeps you together.”

If Donald Trump is so evil and Joe Biden is so good why is Trump the one selflessly providing Bibles for the needy while Biden doesn't? Why doesn't Biden care for America's spiritually needy people as much as Trump?

“you gotta cut both your daddy’s hands off, child. If you only cut one off, the cops know that trick.”

“Mumford”, the story of a drug addict who cleans up and creates the identity of a psychologist in a small town where he makes many friends. It’s an incredible all star cast with all kinds of sub plots and plots twists.

“The voices told me to dig, so I’m digging!”

Can you write a letter to your first love without mentioning his/her name?

“Last Stop Wonderland” about a hopeless romantic seeking love through the Personals in the Boston Herald while well-meaning but hopeless plumber seeking to change his life crosses her path again and again and neigther notice. One of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s first movies.

You know, there are so many.

“October Sky” the under-rated true story about how Homer Hickam overcame his start in a coal town in W. Virginia to become a rocket scientist along with his doomed poverty-stricken friends. The haunting soundtrack will get you.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

“Stir of Echoes” - this was the competition for “Sixth Sense” and came out the same time. I think it’s darker and much better than that movie and never gets credit for how good it is. It’s about and average guy and his average wife and their young son who sees dead people and how it impacts the entire nieghborhood. You don’t really see the end coming.

I can’t speak highly enough of “The Salton Sea”, the Val Kilmer black comedy that is sad, hilarious, incredibly violent and has multiple surprise twist endings.

“Have you ever gotten laid by a… you know… normal sized woman?”

“A Very Good Year” with Russell Crowe and Marillon Cotillard, it’s his only comedy and she never looked sexier than in this movie. It was gentle and funny and not life changing but always worth a watch.

“I’m never going down in that mine again!”

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?
