“You give a little love and it all comes back to you,
La la la la la la la.
You’re gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do.
La la la la la la la.”
Bugsy Malone. Another underrated and very charming film.
Here’s a bit of trivia about the theme song! It was REALLY old by the time the movie was made…140 years old, maybe? It was based off of Saint-Saëns’s (Composer of “Carnival of the Animals” and its related music ) Organ Symphony. Which is awesomeness in and of itself =3

The Incredibles ROCK people. Come on guys, wake up. I believe that it is underrated by people who think it is overrated, but besides that I think that it gets the attention it deserves by sane people.
Oh, and Anne of Green Gables is totally underrated. I’m surprised that’s not as popular…
Galaxy Quest is another one I just thought of. NEVER give up! NEVER surrender! Good ol’ “Buzz” X3 . It reminded my mom of A Bug’s Life…starting with how Serris was a bit like Hopper. And then how she realized that the “helpless ones” mistake actors for warriors. “Pleeeease we need your help” I just love their voices 
. It’s an interesting “spoof” on what could happen from the popularity of “Star Trek”.
And to end with that “stupid line.” By Grabthar’s hammer, you shall be avenged!
I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad (especially for no reason) and I’m sorry I did. I just don’t find The Incredibles underrated because I haven’t met a person who said it was bad.
Super Mario Bros. (1993 movie)
The Wizard
Ghostbusters II
Quiz Show
The Fifth Element
Fright Night Parts 1 and 2
Cars
The Lion, the Witch, and the Warbrobe
Prince Caspian (not exactly like the book, but it’s still insanely underrated)
Ratatouille
Flushed Away
Chicken Run
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Monsters, Inc.
The Incredibles
A Bug’s Life
Stardust
Corpse Bride
Inkheart
The Princess and the Frog
I agree, Stardust and The Corpse Bride are both stellar and often overlooked. I also really appreciate The Princess and the Frog. In fact, I like your whole list, Jess-E!!
Thank goodness Jess-E mentioned Stardust! Beat me to it 
Oh, also, Being John Malkovich. Totally weird movie, but awesome nonetheless.
^ Malkovich Malkovich! Malkovich, Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich; Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich, Malkovich Malkovich. Malkovich.
Fantastic list! Well, the two I’ve highlighted, that is. Both of these films are on my favorite list but I feel as though they don’t get enough attention. Especially the latter, which many must assume is a movie that takes itself seriously–and it is not!
Some others for me:
The Rescuers Down Under
The Sword in the Stone
Return to Oz
Hoop Dreams (I’m sure it had a lot of buzz in 1994, but nowadays? Not nearly the attention it deserves.)
Barefoot Gen
Whisper of the Heart
Clue
Delicatessen
The Man in the Moon
Little Manhattan
Panic Room
Coraline (It’s recent, so therefore not unknown, but I feel it is drastically overlooked)
Once Upon a Forest
Wish Upon a Star
Lawn Dogs
Little Nemo
Zathura (Oh yeah, you heard me right. For what it is, it’s a pretty cute and solid movie.)
This one may be controversial, but Ridley Scott’s Alien. I prefer it over its sequel by James Cameron, but very few people agree with me. I seriously feel as though the original is superior in filmmaking.
And then there are, of course, more foreign films that aren’t necessarily underrated but unheard of in America to begin with. But some of the films I feel are not praised as much by people knowledgeable of certain regions/types of cinema (in this case, contemporary East Asia) are:
Christmas in August
Rainbow Song
All about Lily Chou-Chou
Shall We Dance?
Josee, the Tiger and the Fish
A Gentle Breeze in the Village
My Secret Cache
Lost and Found
and some Hirokazu Koreeda movies. He’s known by people but I don’t think he gets enough praise besides Nobody Knows, which will make people cry but isn’t nearly his best film.
Oh, how I loved Being John Malkovich. Except the ending, that is. It was a perfectly fitting conclusion, but jeez it was depressing.
My favourite Charlie Kaufman-penned film is Adaptation., which is a very clever, sweet and funny movie, based (somewhat loosely) on Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief. If I had one nit-pick with Being John Malkovich, it’s the lack of humanity - the characters, for the most part, aren’t particularly likeable or sympathetic (though I certainly felt for John Cusack’s character toward the end), which suits the tone of the film just fine, I guess. But it wasn’t until Adaptation. that Kaufman started to explore the vulnerabilities of his characters in a way that really enabled you to feel for and connect with them. And the four central performances (two of which come from Nicolas Cage) are all dazzling. I don’t recall how much hype Adaptation. garnered when it first came out (though there were a few Academy Award nominations, and one win), but it certainly could do with a bit more recognition now.
Another personal favourite of mine - Ghost World. Actually, what surprises me most about this movie, with hindsight, is how much stronger Thora Birch’s performance is compared to that of co-star Scarlett Johansson. And yet, Birch seems to have largely fallen off the map since, while Johansson has gone on to become this huge star. Who would have guessed?
I think Seven years in Tibet doesn’t get nearly the praise it deserves
(look for the “Great Firewall of China” blocking this thread very soon, btw. ).
How such a marvelous film ended up at merely 58% at rottentomatoes.com is anyone’s guess.
Pocahontas by far!
I think that both Gattaca and Terry Gilliam’s Brazil are really underrated. They are two of my favorite science fiction movies. The ending to Brazil is just amazing. It’s completely unexpected and original, and it’s extremely depressing and happy at the same time. Come to think of it, Brazil is actually very similar to Wall-E in the message that it delivers. Gattaca is great too, it’s really powerful. I’m pretty sure both movies did very poorly in the box office, which is a shame.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame, so good and so under rated!
Also, I know there is a movie I just love that is under rated, but I just can’t remember it’s name! Grr. I’ll post back as soon as I can.
I agree about Hunchback and Pocohontas. The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, and The Black Cauldron are often ignored. 
Big Fish. I loved that movie, but everyone I know who has seen it didn’t like it. Oh, and also; Sunshine. Awesome movie, but the title was bland (though fitting), and it didn’t do well at the box office.
