Underrated and overrated films (and other general filmy chat)

Because I am in the middle of the 2nd of the new OSS117 films I figure I should mention them as I don’t see them get regular mentions at least in 'murrica.
OSS117 Cairo Nest Of Spies and OSS117 Lost in Rio. The total 50’s and 60’s look in the respective films is great. Jean Dujardin is wonderful as the totally clueless #1 French spy Hubert de la Bath. The pokes at cultural imperialism and sexism of the day are hilarious and well done. These are way better super spy spoofs than the Austin Powers films.
