Prime is kinda interesting, almost perhaps, largely because of the third act. I've enjoyed it when I've seen it on TV. I don't think I'd wave a flag for it as an "under-appreciated gem".

I've only seen Tommy Boy and Galaxy Quest, but I haven't seen Tommy Boy in a long long time, I do remember it being hilarious though. Galaxy Quest is just awesome though, there's no doubt about that.

I thought A.I. was wonderful, so I'll vote for that. I found Breach underwhelming. Breakdown was badass. Frailty was weird and pretty good. Galaxy Quest I don't really remember. Idiocracy feels so possible it scares me, but I still lol'd. Timecop is so bad it's kind of good. Tommy Boy, I wonder how it holds up.
