Five Underrated Movie Scenes

Sometimes even in movies that are entirely forgettable (or worse), there are still moments that work so well that they nearly floor me. Over the years, I’ve tried to keep a mental tally of these scenes. Now that I am getting older, my mental tally is failing me. So I thought I’d catalogue five of the more top-of-mind scenes here.

I’m not saying anything about the overall quality of these films or the filmmaking behind them. Some are great and some suck. But the scenes, for whatever reason, stand out.

From Dan in Real Life (2007)

From Grosse Point Blank (1997)

From About a Boy (2002)

From L.A. Story (1991)

From The Rules of Attraction (2002)
