After sharing some of my personal picks, I feel like it is my turn to be educated on the tastes of others in the Palm Valley community. Therefore, I interviewed several members of the Blog Staff about films they find totally underseen and/or underrated. Enjoy!
Dying To Survive (Muye Wen, 2018)
“A based-on-a-true-story about a Chinese man who was prosecuted for buying leukemia medicine from India. The film reflects the humanity and the problem with medicine control in the Chinese government. It tells the truth!”–Jeremy Cheng
Sky High (Mike Mitchell, 2005)
“This is a fun movie about a superhero high school with a star-studded cast. Don’t watch it if you’re expecting something with the punch of a Marvel movie. I wouldn’t consider it a form of amazing art, but it’s a good, short movie to relax with and watch on a rainy day.”–Luke Langlois
Johnny from The Room
The Room (Tommy Wiseau, 2003)
“Try to recreate this movie. You can’t. It’s so unique and original, and it’s never been done before.”–Holden Hartle
Wild Child (Nick Moore, 2008)
“It’s just really good in a dumb, underrated movie sort of way. It’s not a great movie, but I just really like it. But it’s really good. Just remember I told you to watch it.”–Makena Behnke
The Trouble With Angels (Ida Lupino, 1966)
Anonymous suggestion. The movie speaks for itself.
The Green Hornet (Michel Gondry, 2011)
“It’s a superhero movie, but it’s not a total superhero movie. It’s good. The performances are entertaining.”–James Zheng
Aquamarine
Aquamarine (Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, 2006)
“It’s good.”–Bella Bier

Wonderful choices all the way around.
Bella, you may want to come to our film club movie next Friday evening. It’s another Wes Anderson movie: moonrise kingdom.
