I was reviewing my own ratings list on my IMDB account, and I became interested in some of my ratings in comparison to general user ratings. I always feel as through 7.0 star ratings is the 'average-good' for a film to be rated, and anything below that is automatically overlooked as not being worth watching - and while that might usually be the case, I feel as though there is quite a list of movies on IMDB with a less then 7.0 star rating that deserve a look-in.
So my question to fellow movie lovers, and perhaps those very IMDB aware, what are some movies that have a less than 7.0 star rating that you are a fan of, recommend to others, feel is overlooked, or should have a bit of a higher rating?
I've made a short list here of some of my own answers:
