This one is easy for me...
Better Off Dead
and Manhunter
Manhunter is a good film, and took a bit of an underground route to popularity. I haven't liked any blob movie to date. Better Off Dead is a quirky fun sub-classic, where Cusack showed what he does best. The Postman Always Rings Twice never worked for me, and evidently didn't work for the vast majority of people. Generally speaking, it seems to get good reviews only from the die-hards, snobby about the subject matter, Mamet & Nicholson. Compare Postman 1981 to say Double Indemnity 1944, and you see clearly which is the Emperor's New Clothes.
