toko, while some of the other movies you've mentioned are favorites of mine and others i haven't seen, i'm going to say no to these.

garden state and i've said above is a horribly trite movie, composed of cliches and horribly but horribly paced jumping from one stupid cliche scene to another, no, this movie is overrated because it gathers some commonplaces with mass appeal and shapes them into a likeable mess. but a mess.

le grand bleu is an overly long, meandering, chaotic movie that attempts to be poetic while remaining simply death-obsessed.

now if you want to talk about besson's underrated movies, léon (AKA the professional) is to me his best one, in every way, and one that doesn't get mentioned a lot unfortunately because of that space fable known as the fifth element and the success of the maladaptations of la femme nikita for american audiences in tv and film.
