Little known films that you enjoyed or loved

[Road Warrior]

What are some little known films that you enjoyed or perhaps even loved? And, when I say little known I mean films that 97% of people don't even know exist.

Here's some of my choices:

Private Lessons has a small fan base, but most people haven't heard about it. The behind the scene stuff is probably more interesting than the film itself. If you've seen the film then you know what I'm talking about.

My Name Is Nobody is starting to build a bit of a fanbase but I think a lot of people don't know about it or have heard of it but haven't seen it yet.

Technically not a little known film, but definitly the most underrated film of Scorsese's career.

The Fountain is cool

 

[WallCrawl]

That looks like a good movie

It actually is. It won Best Film, Best Director, best script, and Special Award – Visual Accomplishment at the 2005 Fantasia film festival.

There is this movie called The Outider. Its stars Naomi Watts as an Amish widow who saves a gunslinger played by Tim Daily. It was a Hallmark channel movie. Western kinda. Also starred David Carradine, Keithe Carradine and the guy who played Boramir and Faramirs father in Return Of The King.

[Mr. Credible]

i have no idea where i originally saw it, but '100 girls' with emmanuelle chiqri (or however you spell it) was a pretty funny (and surprisingly smart) little movie.

there was also one called '8 days a week' with keri russell that was kind of funny, too.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

I must have missed that one at the cinema, look damn cool though.

f**king amazing movie

so many great lines

Interviewer: You've written a best-seller...
Chopper: Yeah, I know - and I can't even bloody spell. What about those poor bloody academics, those college graduates, battling their guts out to write some airy-fairy piece of exaggerated artwork? And here's a bloke, sitting in a cell, who can't spell, and he's written a best-seller. It's sold two hundred and fifty thousand copies. And it's still selling. And he's writing another one. And I can't even spell. I'm semi-bloody-illiterate.

I perfer the B&W 1929 one.

Tagline: BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH ALL ITS SEX AND DRAMA!
Plot Synopsis: A woman married to a wealthy socialite, is compromised by the accidental death of a man who had been romantically pursuing her, and is forced by her mother-in-law to assume a new identity to save the reputation of her husband and infant son. She wanders the world, trying to forget her heartbreak with the aid of alcohol and unsavory men, eventually returning to the city of her downfall, where she murders a blackmailer who threatens to expose her past. Amazingly, she is represented at her murder trial by her now adult son, who is a public defender. Hoping to continue to protect her son, she refuses to give her real name and is known to the court as the defendant, "Madame X."


This movie is freaking amazing.

Waking Life

Great movie that does 2 things:

1) It can make even the dumbest person feel like a philosopher.

2) It can make the most sobber of persons feel like they're... "enlightened"

dunno if you know this, but those are from the same writer/director. the same guy writing and directing Shoot 'Em Up. now THAT's going to be f***in awesome.

i didn't know that, but i kind of had a feeling. they feel very similar.

what's 'shoot 'em up'?

 

[Mr. Credible]

Stander.t:

that movie was pretty darn good... if you can ignore all the thomas jane cockles in your face. i think it went something like this:

director: "so, uh, tom.... why don't you get nakers in this scene, and dance around with headphones on... and make sure your balls flap around, too."

TJ: "..... why?"

diretor: "why not?"

TJ: "good point." *ball-flapping commences*

he also did 100 Women, but I never watched that.

Shoot 'Em Up is an action movie he made being released soon (dunno exactly when). it stars Clive Owen, Monica Belucci and Paul Giamatti. there's supposed to be some pretty wild shootouts, including one during a birth, one mid-coitus and one during a freefall.

Owen's the hero, trying to protect a baby from Giamatti and his men, who want the kid dead for who knows what reason, and Belucci is a prostitute.

if you look for it, I'm pretty sure there are some animatics around the net, that Michael Davis (I'm pretty sure that's the director's name) used to sell the idea to the studio
