A true story about Frank Abagnale Jr., who, before his 19th birthday, successfully conned millions of dollars' worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, doctor, and legal prosecutor.

A secret military project endangers Neo-Tokyo when it turns a biker gang member into a rampaging psychic psychopath that only two kids and a group of psychics can stop. Although many of you may say it is not underrated, take into account how many people really actually know about this movie? Of course us anime lovers do but I feel this movie could intrigue even the typical everyday movie lover that knows nothing about anime...with classic visuals from the crazy 80′s this is the anime movie that inspired a lot of the anime and cartoons you watch today!

I promise this isn’t your typical Adam Sandler goof ball movie! A psychologically troubled novelty supplier is nudged towards a romance with an English woman, all the while being extorted by a phone-sex line run by a crooked mattress salesman, and purchasing stunning amounts of pudding.Seeing Adam play a serious role is something most people at the time thought he would bomb at...instead he proved my theory that deep down all comedy actors can be taken serious in Hollywood with just one great movie!

Michael (or Fresh as he's well known) is a 12-year-old drug pusher who lives in a crowded housing project with his cousins and aunt.

Fresh's sister is a junkie who sleeps with the dealers who Fresh sells for. As the story progresses Fresh realizes that he doesn't want to sell drugs anymore, he wants out. With honest acting and real life situations, this movie deserves your attention.

A frustrated son tries to determine the fact from fiction in his dying father's life.
