10 Underrated Movies That Were Probably Masterpieces

3. Y Tu Mama Tambien

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qg6n7V3kO4 Alfonso Cuaran is one of the greatest directors in the world and somehow he is constantly overlooked as the visionary that he is. He has given so much to modern cinema yet he is never as regarded as highly as he should be. Y Tu Mama Tambien is a perfect example of this because, despite being one of the best films of the '00s, it is never given the recognition it deserves. The film presents friendship, love and the feeling of being young and carefree in a very exciting way. Cuaran's direction never lets the personal feeling slip away from the audience which creates an atmosphere of familiarity that few films can hope to achieve. The characters have such a lust for life (and everything else) that you can't help but identify with them while the movie is as compelling as it is emotional.

My favorite movies are Before Sunrise, Pulp Fiction, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien and Her so don't be surprised to see those pop up in my writing from time to time. I'm currently in school for Journalism/English and I have an obsession with all things cinematic on the side.
