8 Underappreciated Movies From Great Directors

No running back is incapable of fumbling the ball, just as no filmmaker is incapable of creating a flop. Everyone stumbles at one point or another, it's just life, and directors are no exception. Just because Movie B may not be as great as Movie A though, that doesn’t mean it's not worth watching. Unfortunately, though, people only remember the best of the best and that's why often, acclaimed directors can put out solid films that get overlooked.

Rope (dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Recommended Videos

Alfred-Hitchcock-Rope

Known for: Psycho (1960), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959)

What it’s about: When Brandon (John Dall) and Phillip (Farley Granger) murder their classmate, they hide his body in the living room and, in order to test the perfection of their crime, host a dinner party with those closest to the victim. It’s all a game to Brandon, so he invites the one man Phillip is convinced will figure out the truth: their philosophy professor, Rupert Cadell (James Stewart).

Why it’s worth watching: Hitchcock detested this film, so much so that he withdrew it from public access (along with the other “Missing Hitchcocks” – Rear Window, The Trouble with Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo). Even though it has its faults, especially in terms of its aged technical experiments, Rope is a suspenseful entertainment from the mind of the master.
