Not sure if it's underrated, but Sunshine (2007) is really great!

It's a great film with a wonderful cast. The soundtrack is pretty fake good as well.
Definitely gonna try to check these out!
Definitely give some a spin
I wouldn't really class The Boys From Brazil or Sunshine as underrated but if it gives them an extra smidge of attention then I won't begrudge their inclusion.
Xtro and Under the Skin definitely need more people to see them - they'd be high on my version of this list. I would warn people that they go off into a very weird horror direction, which might not suit some people.
Triangle is a worthy top pick as it's great. I.might quibble about how British it is but it is a UK co-production and the director is British so I'll let it slide. Phase IV, however, is only a British co-production and is a weird inclusion on the list - it's slow and experimental and not for everyone.
Phase 4, the ant movie? It was boring and awful when it tried to be serious.
Xtro is a gem that needs more attention.
I remember enjoying Phase IV. But it's pacing was slow. At the time I thought that the ending had more compelling sci-fi chops than the rest. So it would have been better to trim the movie down to half it's length; put that ending in the middle of the movie; then progress the story from that point.
Xtro is a gem that needs more attention.
It does indeed.
