PRESENTING:
ADI'S UNDERRATED MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS I
- aka the reason my blog is named as it is
- classic that deserves more love
- about a woman named mame who takes in her deceased brother's son as her own and her adventures in life whilst raising him
- top-notch, snort-worthy humor
- i quote it daily without fail
- 10/10 guaranteed you will too
- mame is the most classy + fiesty lady ever and all i aspire to be
- features lots of lovely, feels-inducing family scenes
- the costumes are the most gorgeous things to ever exist
- probably where i got my love for 1920's-30's tbh
KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD (2017) Dir. Guy Ritchie
- king arthur retelling that is my everything
- more fantasy than historical
- 10/10 would marry the cinematographer for doing such a good job
- jude law's black chainmail
- best cinematic soundtrack this year
- NO ROMANCE BETWEEN LEADS
- SLOW MOTION THAT DOESN'T LOOK CHEESY
- QUICK DRY WIT AND A FAST MOVING PLOT
- lots of accents. i approve
- i don't know why this isn't more popular??
- did i mention jude law's black chainmail
GIFTED (2017) Dir. Marc Webb
- basically just a movie proving how pure chris evans is
- story about freakishly smart (and freakishly adorable) little girl
- THERE'S A ONE EYED CAT NAMED FRED
- he's the shining glory of the whole thing not gonna lie
- has that cute indie movie feel, with the pro of a surprisingly spectacular script + quick humor
- after seeing a classmate bullied the girl picks up a textbook and whacks the devil child in the face + shatters his nose. it may be the most glorious movie scene i've witnessed all year.
THE FALL (2006) Dir. Tarsem Singh*
- MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE OF EVER
- i could write a whole 10 page essay on this movie
- cinematography is literally the most beautiful thing on this planet
- features a 1920's stuntman who gets injured on the job + befriends adorable little girl
- filmed in 20 different countries !!
- so like, everything you see is REAL
- shows lack of understanding of depression in 20th century + how different medicine used to be
- so much story-telling appreciation
- there's bandits
- pretty hella diverse for an early 2000's movie
- you're going to cry, but it's worth it
- and if you're not convinced yet
- lee pace, the one, the only, the best of the best™, is the lead
- that is all
MEET THE ROBINSONS (2007) Dir. Stephen Anderson
- it's disney
- you need to watch this one
- most underrated movie of all time
- why doesn't it have more love
- there's robots, and flying cars, and singing frogs
- and the whole message of it is to never give up on your dreams and let life take you where it takes you
- basically, i cry every single time
- also hi don't mind me dying because i just realized it's been out for a whole decade
and there we go, lovelies! i hope you enjoyed that somewhat, and maybe found something new to watch. i've got a ton of other movies (and tv shows) to share, so you'll definitely see another installment of me rambling about more soon.

MEET THE ROBINSONS IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED and why?? I loved it when I first saw it, but every time I go to watch it my sisters like "wtf that's crap" ?? It's probably why I like big hero 6 too though, cause robots are pretty damn awesome, and that's why bh6 is my favourite Disney movie of all time ( + nerds becoming smarticle particle super badasses)
ReplyDeleteIT IS AND I AM MAD ABOUT IT DAMMIT.
Deleteit's truly so genius? i'm so in love with the idea of the future in the movie, and how choices can lead to a beautiful ending if you just trust yourself and follow your dreams.
aww, gosh, BH6 is the cutest! i love robot stories (hello tears during Wall-E) and while i personally suck at science, i love seeing it as an element in films.

I seriously want to see Gifted! It looks cute and amazing and it looks like what Captain America would do on his days off from SHIELD, let's be real here.😂 Also I don't reeeeally watch a lot of movies. I just read all the time. But I love El Dorado! And Treasure Planet. They're Disney/kid movies but totally underrated. :')
ReplyDeleteit was precious! and most definitely how i imagine cap spending his free time. <3
Deleteooh, i've seen el dorado on netflix and wanted to watch it for a while! i feel like "kid" movies are always so underrated, which is a shame because a lot of them are genius and have such fantastic concepts.
xx a
I ACTUALLY LOVE KING ARTHUR. That movie is on my priority list for movies now. :'') Retellings are the best. I'm putting Gifted on there, too. Don't you just love child prodigy movies? One of my fabourites is Sixth Sense (though the kid's not a genius, just strangely talented). :)
ReplyDeleteAGH, SAME. it's my most favorite thing ever. <3
Deleteyes, child prodigy movies are the best! it's always crazy to me to see how gifted such youngsters are. i'll have to look up sixth sense; it sounds right up my alley! ^-^
xx a
Definitely adding some of these to my "To-Be Watched" list! I honestly don't know if I have a favorite Disney movie because I love so many of them, but Meet The Robinsons is always great. As for favorite underrated movies, I saw one on TV called Front Of The Class and I've only ever seen it once but it's made such a big impact on me so considering I never hear anybody talk about it, I'd consider that a pretty amazing underrated movie.
ReplyDeletei'm so glad to hear that, and i hope you enjoy them if you watch them!
Deletei just looked up front of the class and it sounds absolutely amazing. definitely going to have to watch it soon. it sounds so moving. <3

OH MY GOD MEET THE ROBINSONS I'M S C R E A M I N G. Have you ever seen The Emperor's New Groove??? If not, you absOLUTELY MUST PRONTO RIGHT AWAY. IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING EVER. And also my favorite Disney film by far <3
ReplyDeleteEllie | On the Other Side of Reality
I HAVE AND IT'S MY OTHER DISNEY FAVORITE. the humor in it never fails to crack me up, and i quote it in my head far too often. it's one of the most iconic disney films imo and i just love it to bits. ^-^
Deletexx a
ADALINE THANK YOU BECAUSE PUSHING DAISIES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS OF EVER NOW. I haven't seen ANY of these. I feel shameful but also excited because now I have so many cool awesome things to watch!! I A M
ReplyDeleteE X C I T E ! ! Gifted sounds so absolutely splendiferous. Fred is probably the best cat ever. Also, that blACK CHAIN MAIL IM SCREAMING. Also, gotta watch meet the Robinsons. I never saw it! How??? I loved the more off-kilter disney films as a wee crouton. How did I miss this. WHY
I'D APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING YOU OBSESSED BUT AGH I'M TOO HAPPY THAT YOU ENJOYED IT. it's my favorite tv show and i'm guilty of rewatching at least one episode a week to get my ned the piemaker fill. it's just too darn cute, y'know?? <3
DeleteTHANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING THE BLACK CHAIN MAIL WITH ME. it's the most insignificant thing but i,, am so in love,, bless the costume designer for that beauty
ohhh, you must! it's one of the best of disney's more far-flung movies.
xx a
(p.s. "wee crouton" is officially my new favorite phrase ever. thank you for that)
