The movie where I finally became convinced that Leo DiCaprio could actually act, was Catch Me If You Can.  I don't know whether or not that movie is "underappreciated" because a lot of people really like it, but it's a movie that definitely took many by surprise.

Snatch just sounds like a great movie

Sounds like an Erotica Flick

Idk bc he was pretty damn good in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Basketball Diaries. his career kind of took a turn and he was doing what I think were awful love story sh*tty movies for teenage girls like Romeo & Juliet and Titanic....but he bounced back from that and went straight back into really acting shortly after that. he went on a run with Gangs of New York, Catch Me if You Can, The Aviator, The Departed, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island, Inception, Django Unchained....like bam bam bam bam....just really good movie and top notch performance after another.

I never saw Basketball Diaries and wasn't particularly impressed with him in Gilbert Grape-- yeah yeah I know, any time an actor plays a special needs character everybody goes crazy for it.  I didn't.

So Titanic and a really terrible adaptation of Romeo & Juliet were his works I was most familiar with, and I thought he was below-average to really sucky, as an actor.

But CMIYC had a very good cast, a great script, great direction, and some excellent acting from all parties.  Really impressive.

His best line ever came in True Romance.

He plays a stoner and when his roommate is leaving he takes a bong hit and says "get some beer . . . and some cleaning products." His stoned interactions with the mafia hitmen are hilarious too.

Actually True Romance fits this thread. Great cast including James Gandolfini (pre Sopranos fame) as a mobster/hitman.
great point. True Romance was awesome and Pitt & Gandolfini were great in it and it was way before either because hugely famous.

I liked Suicide Kings with Chritopher Walken, Dennis Leary,Jay Mohr looked it up described as dark comedy thriller. Young guys kidnap a mobster and things go down hill after Chloroforming him,worth the time IMO

"Hidalgo"
There was a time I got into slow, quiet 3-hour movies, and Hidalgo was one of them.  It's really good.

My favorite bad movie is Roadhouse.
You're in luck (or cursed), they're doing a remake this year.  Starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton.  Co-starrring Conor McGregor.  Set in the FL Keys.

Looks like a cross between Cocktail and Roadhouse.  I'm gonna go ahead and call it Cockhouse.
