I don't know 3 good movies for a career is t great.

Robocop is a classic.
Total Recall is a classic
Starship Troopers is a nice cult b movie.

Basic instinct was trash, with a memorable scene.
Then he has shyt like Showgirls and Hollow Man, so yeah, I don't think he is underrated at all. I think he is rated perfectly.

Supposed in Europe he is having a bit of resurgence on the art house shyt. Maybe that's where he should have remained.

Elle from 2016 is a really underrated/lesser known thriller

Has a serial pyscho rapist, feminist issues, video games, family drama, whodunit, sexual bondage/rape fetish, it's a very Euro, pre metoo movie with Isabelle Hubbert

Robocop is not only underrated, but it's not appreciated in all the ways it should be. It's actually a fairly clever critique on not only capitalism, but the nature of free will.

Guys an artistic genius. I like his style. Of this era, we have James Gunn.

Every era has a director with a unique vision that creates audiences.

Tim Burton at one point was one until he got bland.
