Great movies no one knows about

[chamber-music]

In Bruges - needs more love for sure DACrowe

This doesn't seem that obscure but overshadowed by Deniro's other work.

Love Fallen Angels and Mary and Max. Seems like if it's not Pixar or Dreamworks or Aardman, quality animation feature films get ignored every year.

Wise Blood
Possession
Mary and Max

Wise Blood
Possession

Mona Lisa

Is that the 1981 possession movie?

 

[Bim]

The two that came to mind when i read the title of this thread were already mentioned:

2. Another Earth - saw this last year and completely fell in love with it. So glad I stumbled across the trailer because it's one I'd never have heard of usually.

Candy (one of Heath Ledger's finest performances)

Agreed!

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Well if we've gone from talking about films no one knows about to just foreign films or slightly obscure films, I'm going to throw my favorite Korean movie Oldboy out there.

 

[ross2287]

Mysterious Skin.

It's a powerfully poignant film that I never want to see again.

 

[childeroland]

One could say that about all Greg Araki films.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Hard Candy starring Ellen Page

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Forbidden World

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice
24 Hour Party People
Wristcutters: A Love Story

And two Scorsese classics that for some reason no one ever seems to mention:
After Hours
The King of Comedy

 

[venom892]

King of New York.Excellent crime drama.

 

[nite-owl]

Is that the 1981 possession movie?

Yep.

 

[spider-neil]

I'm not really an indy guy but I absolutely LOVE these movies.

Delicatessen.

City of Lost Children.

The Big Blue.


Small horror but utterly awesome.

Dog Soliders.

The Decsent

Attack the block.

High recommend for all these movies whether you like small independents or not.

Another excellent thread that works as a list of movies to watch.

My suggestions:
Peacock
Smart People
Rrrrrrrr!

 

[chamber-music]

The Kill List - Two hit men get mixed up with a mysterious cult

Four Lions - Awesome comedy about dimwit terrorists

 

[hopefuldreamer]

In Bruges - needs more love for sure DACrowe

In Bruges is in my top 5 movies of all time, and the only one in there that doesn't have any fantasy/sci-fi/superhero elements.

I seriously freaking love it

Only didn't mention it because most people I know have heard of it, and certainly most people on here have.

Wristcutters: A Love Story

Seconded. Forgot all about that!

Also:

MirrorMask
Rules of Attraction
Sexy Beast

 

[Gianakin_]

The Guard
Secondhand Lions

 

[Abudefduf]

The Purple Rose of Cairo

The Man Who Wasn't There

The Abyss (it's Close Encounters... IN SPACE!!! No, actually, under the sea)

Farenheit 451 (didn't like it, but it's an interesting movie)

The Ape Woman

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

A boy and his dog - sadly almost forgotten, but should be a sci fi cult classic. if not for anything else, then for the last scene alone.

 

[Gianakin_]

Brick

 

[Mandalore464]

Edit : Deleted

 

[spider-neil]

The Abyss (it's Close Encounters... IN SPACE!!! No, actually, under the sea)

C'mon, that is hardly a small unknown movie.

 

[Abudefduf]

^ True, but compared to other Cameron movies it kinda is.
