Underrated Treasures Blogfest

Everyone has a favorite movie or band that no one else has ever heard about. For whatever reason, they remain undiscovered and underrated. Now is your chance to tell the world about this obscure treasure!

On Monday, September 22, post about your favorite unknown –

MOVIE – BAND/ARTIST – TV SHOW – BOOK

Post about one or all four – dealer’s choice!

Hosted by Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh!

My choices (I'm trying to keep them short):

Movie: Zoom - humor, super heroes, redemption, and Tim Allen, who needs more than that? IMDB
 

Band/Artist: Symmetry, an up and coming band whose lead singer grew up in my church. They've toured the UK, some of the USA, and been featured at an awards show. One of the guitarists is legally blind.

TV Show . . . um, I don't think it's unknown but how about Leverage?
 
 
Book: (tough choice x 1000 so I went with an oldie):
 
Green Dolphin Street by Elizabeth Goudge - according to Amazon it's a tale of the colonization of New Zealand by the British, but for me, it is a beloved book from my grandma Pearl, read first at her house and then many times afterwards. The three main characters: Marianne, Marguerite, and William, suffer hardship and heartbreak but find out what it means to truly love and be loved in the midst of an adventurous life. It's beautifully written, and includes a cranky parrot and a pirate-like sea captain for comic relief.
 
Spoiler alert: one character becomes a nun - but by the time you get there in the book, it works.
 
 
Do you have any underrated treasures to share?
