I think "Miller's Crossing" by the Coen Brothers is fairly under rated. I know that I hated the film when I first saw it, but a few years later, decided to watch it again and it ended up being one of my favorite films by them. Oddly enough, I had the same reaction to "The Big Lebowski" and that is my all time favorite Coen Bros. film.

"Miller's Crossing" has a complex plot with numerous characters with shifting allegiances. This makes the story rather hard to follow. Also the fact that the main character is so emotionally reserved that he may be an Aspie puts a lot of people off. On the surface, it's a lushly art directed period gangser film, but underneath, it's a story about the nature of friendship and loyalty and the conflicts of reason and emotion.
