There are two movies that I enjoyed that seem to have average or less ratings, they are "Accepted" and "Thee love guru", maybe my taste in movies are bad?

Some of my favourite film that I don't see getting many people mentioning them, but are still good.
Fighting. Follows the story of a young wrestler trying to earn some money who gets involved in the underground fighting scene. I thought the story to this was well written, not just a means to get from one fight to the next.
Limitless. A struggling, down trodden writter is having troubles with getting his book finished. While out in town he bumps into his ex wife's brother, a dealer in an untested, unknown drug that boosts the users brains abilities. He grudgingly accepts his first pill and finishes his book, cleans his house, and genrally smartens himself up. The next day, it's back to his normall self, so he decides to get some more, which then takes him from meetings with a loan shark upto the top with high rollers in business.
Brewsters Millions. John Candy, Richard Prior. A minor league baseball player inherits after his rich uncle dies. Being the only beneficiary, theirs a catch, take a million and walk away, or inherit 300 million, but has to spend 30 million within 30 days and talk to anybody about the conditions other than with the soliciters who know of the will. If he decides to go for the challange and fail, he walks with nothing. WWhat does he do? He takes the challenge and sets off on the spending spree of his life.
Human Traffic. A group of 20 somethings are all bored and fed up of the daily humdrum of life, so they plan a friday night out as usual. They all set off out for a night of drink, drugs, and parties. The day after they all meet up to discuss the night before, and realise in the madness of the night before all their problems just don't seem to be quite as bad as they seemed to be.
I feel like Batman Begins is pretty overshadowed by The Dark Knight. I think the Batman Begins is the best film of the trilogy.
I think the reason it's overshadowed is because it lacks a strong, central villain. Ra's al Ghul and Scarecrow both feel like minor characters in the first film. Both of them lack the intensity and presence that the Joker and Bane have in the following movies.
The villains of the first movie - especially the Scarecrow, who is amazing - are more subtly woven into the narrative. And I think the film is all the better for it, as this was meant to establish the heroic character of Batman after all.
...Plus the advent of Liam Neeson, before he was "cool" ...
Definitely an overlooked film. The trilogy for me, wouldn't even have to exist since this is the one movie I always come back to.
