I had thought about bringing back the "Name that movie" series with this but it would probably be a bit subjective, I am up for bringing it back though if we can get a good theme for it. Failing that I remembered http://gbatemp.net/topic/178875-have-any-of-you-seen-titan-ae/ and thought to expand the idea a bit.
To that end films that did not do well at the time and if possible in the time since but you really enjoy anyway. I would be best if they have been out five or ten years but that is not mandatory.
Anyway my choice- The Big Hit
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120609/
Trailer- some fairly big spoilers or at least enough that you will put some together sooner than the film would have you do it and not a brilliant trailer to boot.

Personally I reckon I could make a case that it is Mark Wahlberg's best work (I am a fairly big Infernal Affairs fan and where the Departed was awesome Infernal Affairs was better). Better than that there is precious little action comedy I enjoy; after comedy ends I have to get to things like the 51st State, Shoot Em Up, Wild Zero and Versus, the latter two of which are both somewhat Zombie films, although to be fair I do not even like straight up comic relief in films and it might even by why I do not care for Lord of the Rings.
The second choice would probably be the previously mentioned Titan A.E. although I did like Malo Korrigan* which I saw a few years later and that probably took the shine off it.
*I have yet to see space anime with a more fleshed out universe although I have yet to sit completely through Planetes or get far in Robotech which in the eyes of some probably voids my statement.
