I’ve been doing a little series over on TikTok and IG about my favorite underrated movies and thought I should collect a few of the videos here.

First up is Logan Lucky, which is an underrated gem. This Steven Soderbergh movie features Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, and Daniel Craig as well as appearances from several other fantastic stars. It’s really funny and I can’t believe didn’t see it when it came out.

Next, we have my favorite Mel Brooks movie, High Anxiety. This is probably my most quoted movie of all time—I say “What a dramatic airport!” at least three times a week—and it deserves to be held in the same regard as Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

I also had to include one of my favorite movies, Attack the Block. This is John Boyega‘s first movie and I was lucky enough to interview him and director Joe Cornish at Comic-Con back in 2011 when this movie first came out.

I also wanted to include an early Peter Jackson movie that has a small cult following but deserves to be much more popular. The Frighteners stars Michael J. Fox and features Jackson’s excellent creepy, spooky visual style.
