The Purple Plain (1954) - This has the most emotionally-satisfying ending of any film that I've ever seen.
The Party (1968) - I don't understand how this film hasn't been acknowledged as a comedy classic by now.
House of Dark Shadows (1970) - Moody, bloody, and genuinely frightening, it's hands-down my favorite vampire film (and you don't have to have seen the TV show to enjoy it).

If you've got a link to its appearance on a "best comedy films" list, please share--I'd love to find out which critics agree with me.

Perhaps it is, but I've never seen it appear on any reputable list of the best comedy films of all time. It seems to be perennially overshadowed by Blake Edwards's other movies starring Peter Sellers, particularly A Shot in the Dark.

Honestly, though, I really do think of it as a classic.
Googling "classic comedy of the 60s," it appears in the list google puts up, as well as the second list in the results, with this comment: Why is The Party among the greatest comedies of the 1960s? It is widely considered a comic masterpiece and an influential classic cult film.

Can any movie with SIX sequels currently for sale on VUDU really be called under-appreciated?

"Near Dark"? More like, "Near-Impossible to Find on Streaming". Seriously, I've been trying to watch it for like 3 Octobers straight and can never find it, even to rent. I know a few Bigelow and Cameron movies have weird rights issues.

Wasn't there talk of a 4K remaster from Studio Canal getting a release though?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The last Spielberg film I truly enjoyed, although I know I'm in a tiny minority. I don't think I've ever encountered anyone else who liked it.

Since this is the under appreciated thread, I’ll leave it at that - without going into the parts I dislike.

Winter’s Bone…I think people forget JLaw is in this and one of first, if not first. Even though dark and depressing I have an affinity for this movie and watched several times already.

The Terminal with Tom Hanks
Maybe this belongs in the unpopular opinion thread but I thought it was a good movie.
