Based on the acclaimed graphic novel of the same name, V For Vendetta was met with mostly mixed reviews upon release; it's considered to be something of a cult classic nowadays, which makes it a rather weird entry in the IMDb Top 250. It's not a film you hear much about nowadays, either, and yet this picture - starring Natalie Portman and John Hurt and Hugo Weaving - stands proudly on the list, squashed between Rebecca and Gone Girl. It's a complex film set in a dystopian future, and deals with political issues such as fascism and the right to freedom. As a result, it's bloody strange going (no wonder it was helmed by the Wachowski siblings right off the back of their Matrix films). V For Vendetta is an underrated movie, though; despite the weird nature of its inclusion on the list, it's probably good thing that it's there - it spices things up somewhat and prevents the list from being dull. Having scored just 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is, after all, exactly the sort of film you'd imagine not to be on the IMDb Top 250.
