we still have another 80 years to go, but the 21st century has already given us so many overlooked gems.
Welcome to watch Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 underrated movies of the century.
So far for this list, we're taking a look at Amazing films released between 2000 and 2019 that were ignored by mainstream audiences.
While some of these films received critical acclaim and even minor cult followings, they've yet to achieve the credit they deserve.
Number 20 Upgrade Now more than ever, it's hard to save.
Technology is our friend or foe.
Several movies have offered their two cents on the debate, and upgrade is among the most inventive.
I'm not looking to restore my life.
Look for the off switch film is carried by a magnetic performance from Logan Marshall Green as Gray, a man who's left paralyzed following a tragic mugging.
The man who shot your wife, there's no gun in his hand.
She was shot.
That means he had to go.
She was shot, but not with a gun.
He was holding in his hand, a gun implanted inside his hand.
Simon Maiden is equally strong as the voice of stem, an aye aye implant Who gives Gray a second chance at life and revenge?
All right.
Writer director Lee won l crops and involving Mystery.
But the real question throughout upgrade is Who's truly in the driver seat?
Grey or stem?
We can only hope this film grows a wider following because when L has ideas for a sequel, Number 19 Walk Hard.
The Dewey Cox Story You know something is wrong with society when Meet the Spartans opens at number one at the domestic box office.
While this hilarious spoof fell flat financially, I think I'm doing okay for a 15 year old with a wife and a baby.
Despite coming out only a couple of years after Walk the Line and Ray because the musical biopics still seemed like a fairly niche sub genre to parity in 2007 the sixties are an important and exciting time.
They it's like something happening here with the subsequent releases of Love and Mercy, Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man.
Though people have become more conscious of the troops we constantly see in these movies with meditation, there's no limit to what we could Imagine Walk Hard is a clever send up of these cliches, delivering some surprisingly catchy original songs and a great cast led by John C.
Reilly, who's also one of the century's most underrated comedic talents.
You're not even half the bar that the top half of Nate Wiles after a government half.
So you're saying I'm less than 1/4 of the boy Nate Waas Number 18 Bernie.
True crime stories have seen a rise in popularity throughout the century, but Bernie is one of the most unique and underappreciated approaches to the genre.
I am so happy for you.
Can I tell you I am not fond of cremations?
I just don't like the idea of someone spending eternity in something the size of a motel ice bucket.
We say that this is a mock you memory, but unlike this is Spinal Tap for Borat, there's actually a fair deal of truth to Richard Linklater film.
I can understand chewing each bite of some food 25 times like chicken fried steak, but I don't think you have to chew your refried beans that many times Jack Black gives one of his most charismatic performances is Bernie TV a real life mortician who was put on trial for the murder of an elderly rich woman.
But there's a late a member of this congregation shot in the back four times and put in the freezer.
Any burning told not to Bernie this church.
While all signs point to Bernie's guilt, the town is a hard time believing that somebody's so lovable could be responsible for taking a person's life.
Likewise, it's easy for the audience to forget that such a charming film is based on a heinous crime.
Number 17.
It comes at night based on the title and advertisements people went into.
It comes at night expecting a more traditional apocalyptic horror film rather than solely relying on jump scares and gore.
Trey Edward Schultz is film delivered a far more understated and physiological experience above all else.
This is a morality tale that examines how far family will go to preserve their own lives.
We just want what's fair one enough food and enough water.
Then we're gonna go.
You're never gonna see us again.
Instead of a big, scary monster, the audience pulls back the curtain to find a mirror.
The lack of a straightforward villain, coupled with a slow pace, may have caused the film to fall through the cracks.
For fans of classic Twilight Zone episodes like The Monsters are due on Maple Street, you'll appreciate the film's haunting and even timely things.
Number 16 Rick, How Are You introduced to Ryan Johnson?
Probably through his more mainstream work like Star Wars, The Last Jedi.
For many critics, though, it was clear that Johnson had the makings of an audacious filmmaker based on his directorial debut, Brick.
Brad's the school's biggest Jake buyer.
So if this pin is behind all the selling, I just got his attention.
Anyone.
And now we've shaken the tree.
Let's wait and see what falls on our heads.
Justus Knives Out brought the murder mystery into the 21st century.
Rick is a classic film noir set in a modern high school.
Think the third man needs 10 Things I Hate About You.
On a shoestring budget of only $450,000 Johnson delivers a stylized homage to detective stories that's elevated by a witty screenplay and a hard boiled performance from Joseph Gordon Levitt.
You held like a card you can play.
I don't know what you're you better bring me.
At the same time, it was mostly for the money.
Now the Johnsons profile has risen significantly.
You owe it to yourself to catch up with this bull's eye number.
15.
Miami Vice It's no wonder Miami Vice underperformed at the box office back in 2006.
Somebody, something's gotta go somewhere somewhere, not too distant in the future.
It came out at a time when Hollywood was giving every retro TV show the big screen treatment and we mean every show.
It was easy for Miami Vice to get lost in a shuffle that included Bewitched and The Dukes of Hazzard.
Havana Cubans don't like my business.
I don't like my past.
Unlike those movies, this adaptation took a nostalgic property and evolved it for modern audiences.
At the time, critics negatively compared the film to its source material and Michael Mann's previous efforts.
Now that the dust has settled, many have cited the film stellar cinematography and graphic action as an inspiration.
It even made time outs list of the 101 best action movies ever made.
Number 14.
Be kind rewind.
It's surreal to think that few people born in the 2000 ten's would recognize a video rental store.
Be kind Rewind came out shortly before chains like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video about out all of it like this.
All it takes.
Tried everything.
When all the tapes at a struggling video store are erased, most F and Jack Black decide to re shoot each film.
Really be kind.
Rewind will not only resonate with fans of classic films, but also anyone who grew up making home movies with no budget.
Looking back now, the film reminds us, is something we've lost in the streaming era.
How video stores brought people together to share their passion for cinema.
Had the film come out today, we have a feeling it would have made a stronger impression in the nostalgic zeitgeist.
I will shoot you, Andi, I know.
Robot karate number 13 Silence.
Having gained a reputation as one of our greatest filmmakers, it's not often that we see a Martin Scorsese picture go unnoticed by audiences.
What's especially surprising about silence is that it didn't even generate much noise at the Academy Awards.
We asked for this mission.
We prayed for this in the exercises God heard us then and he hears us now.
Despite garnering positive reviews across the board, the film only got one Oscar nomination for Rodrigo Prieto's captivating cinematography.
Thought that Martin would be my salvation, Please Silence deserved so much more award attention for Scorsese's ambitious direction and Andrew Garfield's heartbreaking lead performance.
Think about the suffering you have inflicted on these people just because we'll be yourself.
His dream of a Christian Japan Garfield is nothing short of phenomenal as a Jesuit priest, Tauron between his faith and survival in a grueling environment.
Maybe it was the epic run time of 161 minutes that turned people off, but a film of this magnitude should not go speechless.
Number 12 Upstream Color With 2000 four's primer, director Shane Karu delivered one of the century's strangest, most unforgettable examples of experimental film making.
Almost 10 years later, Karu returned with a follow up film that's every bit is bizarre.
I am divorced.
That's not good, right?
It's a classic story of Boy Meets girl, although Chris and Jeff have more in common than they initially realize.
By all appearances, your survivor of Stage three in Dmitri, a cancer The good news is that there isn't any sign of any remaining carcinoma lab shows you're in no immediate danger.
Both were exposed to a parasite.
It's transferred from humans to pigs to orchids.
Yeah, based on that description, you can probably tell if upstream color will be your cup of tea.
For those with an open mind, though, this is an unusually beautiful story about the search for identity and how love can blossom in the most unlikely places.
Number 11 cynic Tiki, New York When some people can't even pronounce the title, chances are a movie isn't gonna pack theaters.
Even if you did catch the neck.
Dickie NEW York During its initial run, there's a good chance you wrote it off.
His pretentious nonsense about your artistic satisfaction.
Caden.
It may take some time to reflect upon and even multiple viewings, but more and more people are starting to see the brilliance of Charlie Kaufman's film.
Kaufman transforms a neck tiki into a surreal playground, crawling with rich symbolism, finding the point where realism and absurdity intersect.
I've watched you forever, Caden, but you've never really looked at anyone other than yourself, so watch me watch my heartbreak.
Watch me jump If it flew under your radar, went over your head.
Or you just need a reminder of how incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman was.
Check out why Roger Ebert named this the best film of the two thousands.
Number 10 Anomalisa from one Charlie Kaufman film to another, Anomalisa demonstrates why the 21st century has been a golden age for feature animation.
Unfortunately, animated movies tailored exclusively for adults remain a tough sell.
Why did you go?
I don't know.
Context.
Co directed by stop motion artists, Duke Johnson Anomalisa brings out the whimsy and the mundane in a man's midlife crisis.
You need to find your friend.
No.
Two.
Beautiful ladies trumps my friend.
The characters, maybe puppets.
But few films overflow with Maur raw humanity.
Everyone in Michael Stone's world blends into one another.
That is, except for one woman he encounters on a business trip.
I understand that you had a guest in your room last night.
Is that a crime?
No, that law.
Certainly hoteliers are in the business of being discreet about our guests.
Philandering.
Put this stranger be the key to Michael's happiness, or is he simply caught up in the moment.
In any case, this is a peculiar, humorous and provocative triumph that's unlike anything you've ever seen.
It truly is an anomaly, which was good, a normal number.
Nine dread.
It's a shame that when most people hear the title dread, the first thing they think of is that Sylvester Stallone train wreck, because you do not comply.
The sentence for those who have seen Pete Travis is wickedly entertaining.
Reboot.
You know that Karl Urban's portrayal of dread makes for one of the coolest action heroes to come out of this century, wondering when you'd remember you're left behind, Sir, A helmet can interfere with my psychic abilities.
I think a bullet might interfere with them more returning to the characters Hard hitting, Mysterious Roots This is the gritty interpretation that comic book fans waited years for, but hardly anyone turned up to see.
Audiences were quick to pass judgment, missing out on a thrilling, expertly crafted and character driven extravaganza.
Choke on It.
Dredd.
While the cult following four Dread is growing, we're still waiting for a sequel or TV continuation to finally get the green light.
Number eight.
A most violent year.
Oscar Isaac gives a multi layered performance as a bell.
Morales, who's not exactly a gangster but not exactly a legitimate businessman, either.
You have your job, too, but know that you're wrong.
We will take advantage of every opportunity to prove that.
Turning to criminals for help A Bell does everything he can to keep his hands clean but still finds blood on them.
What's with the gun?
I told you I wasn't gonna continue to stand around and let these people come and get me and my Children.
Jessica Chastain steals the show as a Bell's wife, who was like Lady Macbeth if she were a New Yorker in the 19 eighties.
The most violent year stands out as the centuries on Lee film that won the National Board of Review is top prize but didn't go on to receive any Oscar nominations.
Your Friend.
Instead, it's possible that academy members and audiences were caught off guard by the movie's tone, which is far less bombastic than its title suggests.
Nevertheless, few modern crime dramas have been Maur compelling.
Number 7 25th Our 25th hour was one of the first films to address the 9 11 attacks, but it didn't start out with that intent.
There's something in here, Mr Brogan.
You know, it's a good thing I found this gonna make itself so much more comfortable to sit on.
Film was actually in development around the same time America faced its darkest day, promoting director Spike Lee to weave the tragedy into the story.
Get him drunk.
Victory has one last good night.
The film is primarily said in 2002 as Edward Norton's Monty faces his final 24 hours before a seven year prison sentence will be a 38 year old punked out ex con with government issued dentures.
38 is still young.
Are you gonna get out?
You and me, we start something up.
Although 9 11 isn't the focus, Monty's feelings of anger, fear and uncertainty tapped into what many people were experiencing.
It may not be leaves best known joint, but 25th hour captured the end of an era, and the trauma that still felt today it's only grown more profound.
Being featured on various best of the decade lists Number six, Master and Commander, The Far Side of the world.
Granted, master and Commander did receive 10 Oscar nominations, including one for best picture.
Since then, however, people rarely seem to talk about this adaptation of Patrick O'Brian's historical novel.
Even when the film came out, it didn't make the biggest splash at the box office.
Don't count your eggs before they're in the pudding, Mr Calloway.
Still, we can close this gap and get up behind her.
She may well be.
Perhaps the film's underperformance can be attributed to bad timing.
It was released only a few months after another high sea adventure, Pirates of the Caribbean and a month before another cinematic epic, Return of the King Leadership.
They want strength.
Now you find out within yourself and you will respect audiences missed out on one of the century's most rousing achievements, complete with mind blowing cinematography from Russell Boyd, daring direction from Peter Weir and a gripping performance from Russell Crowe.
It's definitely one we would love to see.
Re released on the big screen Number five Popstar never stop, never stopping.
Almost a decade after walk hard, audiences overlooked another musician satire that deserved to perform much better that Changed my Life.
Helmed by Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone E.
Also known as the Lonely Island.
This Maki memory is essentially a series of SNL digital shorts loosely tied together by a plot.
No, like it's a negative four out of 10 positive 10.
I assume a pitchfork can be kind of pretentious, though, so that may not sound very engrossing.
But the film is not intended to be plot driven.
It is driven by laughter, and pop star never stops tickling your funny bone.
I heard he's getting into a stage.
Gimmicks down.
He's got Owen in a helmet looking dumb, one where things from a toilet being a Lonely Island production, The film has no shortage of memorable tunes from Turn Up the Beef, too.
I'm so humble, of course.
The best is an ode to the assassination of Osama bin Laden, backed up by a never ending supply of cameos.
Pop Star is funnier and smarter than anyone likely anticipated.
Number four.
Take shelter, Take Shelter is everything that the happening should have been.
With echoes of Hitchcock, the film includes a riveting performance from Michael Shannon as Curtis LaForge.
Haunted by dreams and visions, Curtis is convinced that a devastating storm is on the horizon, Yet nobody shares Curtis's concerns and his mother's history of mental illness on Lee gives us more reason to believe he's going crazy.
There was always a panic that cuckolded me.
Thus ensues.
A tense psychological thriller about a man who's either saving or endangering his family wouldn't build out the tornado shelter in my backyard.
I could use you want to do that for although Take Shelter leaves much up to interpretation, it's not hard to think of climate change is Curtis tries to open everyone's eyes to a looming disaster like nothing you have ever seen.
In that sense, the film only grows more relevant and unsettling with each passing year.
Number three under the Silver Lake under the Silver Lake starts off with a typical neo noir set up.
A slacker Sam, played by Andrew Garfield, searches for a mysterious woman who disappeared overnight.
I don't understand why she didn't tell me, I don't know.
Maybe she didn't like you.
Maybe she knows your poor haven't paid your rent.
The conspiracy salmon covers is anything but conventional.
However, to give away any more information would do this twisted, borderline comedic thriller a disservice.
Check it out, man.
Silver Lake from above.
Let's just say that the 1st 10 minutes barely touch upon the cryptic insanity than its Jews.
Some movies take us down the rabbit hole, but this movie takes us to places that would make the Mad Hatter's Tea Party look like a laid back lunch.
A film like this was far too unreal to ever be a mainstream success.
That song not written on distorted guitar.
No, I wrote it here on piano, somewhere between a blowjob in an omelette like Blue Velvet or Mulholland Drive, though we want to dissect every inch of it number to the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford.
We can think of a few reasons why nobody saw this revisionist Western because he's all for May.
The run time clocks in at 160 minutes, and the title is just a long winded.
On top of that, the title kind of gives away a major spoiler.
Even with that knowledge, however, Jesse James is a tense drama about a notorious outlaw and the young admirers destined to betray him.
Your blue eyes.
You're five feet eight inches tall, five feet eight inches tall.
Despite the constant reminders of what's coming.
It's the dynamic between these characters that keeps us at the edge of our seats.
The story takes its time, but the inevitable final destination continues to haunt us.
I'll say, How did you get to reach 20 birthday without looking at all of your clothes?
And finally, like his attitude, I will slit that filled doodle so deep he will flop on the floor.
Fish along the way were treated to some superb cinematography, courtesy of Roger Deakins.
In many respects, this is the Coen brothers movie the coin's never made.
I'll just say this.
I have seen the movie we've got at Number one, and it makes no sense why it's underrated.
It's by a famous popular director.
It stars a bunch of beloved emcee you actors.
It's about riveting true crime, and it's good.
But for some reason, those ingredients did not add up to financial success or Oscars.
Anyway, We'll tell you what that movie is, right after these honorable mentions, Leveraged seems seeming.
Very soon it's extra.
Hit us in Sioux Territory, seemed a constable.
Ask Yury entin su politica without logical a friend.
They are tennis star, some Blair to life the life I drove in this Dex.
There will be a new person when you get there.
Yes, because of that night constructed out of two bottles of wine on somebody feeling lonely.
So what do you guys do for money?
I was top of her.
Wow, that's amazing.
No, I mean, it's not as glamorous as it sounds.
Occasionally brands.
They pay me to post things online.
She's really she's really good.
It's the world's most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love an elegantly simple £9 amalgamation of forged steel and plywood.
It doesn't break, jam or overheat.
It will shoot, whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand.
It's so easy, even a child can use it, and they do.

Number one Zodiac.
When Zodiac was released back in 2007 on Lee to other films, made it onto Maur critical best of the year lists when critics compiled a list of the 21st Century's best films thus far in 2016 Zodiac was ranked number 12.
I killed a guard escaping from prison in Montana.
I'm not doing anything, okay?
I'm not afraid to kill again.
Yet for whatever reason, this remains director David Fincher's unsung masterpiece.
Having bombed financially and received no Oscar nominations, I also told him we don't think this is Zodiac.
Okay, wait a minute.
You don't think this is Zodiac?
We got a guy we like for way.
Don't have enough to pin it on him yet, but we're pretty sure it's if you don't think this is Zodiac, then why give anything to Avery?
Considering that the Zodiac killer was never caught?
You think that this film would feel like an unfinished puzzle?
Even if peace is air missing?
Zodiac is the whole package, skillfully made, perfectly cast and shockingly faithful to Robert Graysmith nonfiction book.
It's a fascinating thriller that constantly leaves us guessing if we're watching a game of cat and mouse or a dog chasing his own tail, do you agree with our picks?
