underrated or little-known movies

**- Jesus Christ -** · 12-28-2003, 11:08 AM

Donnie darko is pretty good.

Momento rocks too.

**Sarah_Jayne** · 12-28-2003, 11:37 AM

I keep trying to see Donnie Darko but always miss it. Memento is a fantastic film.

**Lane** · 12-28-2003, 11:41 AM

Memento is great, but its not little-known lol

**LadyMischief** · 12-28-2003, 11:41 AM

Anna And The King with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun Fat.

Caligula is a good one if you're into strange, sexual, dark, etc.

**Lane** · 12-28-2003, 11:42 AM

Glengarry Glen Ross

great actors in that movie

**Mr.Soze** · 12-28-2003, 11:42 AM

Strange Days and Frequency are two movies I loved too, way too
underrated.

You fairy.

**Lane** · 12-28-2003, 11:46 AM

and for those who only watch the movies at theaters or new dvd releases, you gotta check out some of the classic masterpieces like:

A clockwork orange
One flew over the cuckoos nest
Apocalypse Now
The Shining
Monty Phython and The Holy Grail
2001: A Space Odyssey
etc...

**Pornwolf** · 12-28-2003, 11:46 AM

Strange Days definitely was underrated.

Resident Evil didn't get the accolades it deserved either.

The Cube was also a great movie.

**radical** · 12-28-2003, 11:47 AM

Donnie Darko was an awesome film!!! spot on

**DarkBob** · 12-28-2003, 11:48 AM

Aswang, a horror movie from 1994. I had never heard of it until it was released on DVD recently.

**doornx** · 12-28-2003, 11:49 AM

Mullholland Drive or any film by David Lynch is one to watch (eraserhead or the twin peaks series)

Event Horizon is one i love and if you want good laughs over and over again The Big Lebowski is one of the best movies that have ever hit the white screen

**CamChicks** · 12-28-2003, 11:52 AM

"Something Special"
~1987, about a young girl who grows a penis.

**Ludedude** · 12-28-2003, 11:53 AM

House Of Games http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093223/

**prophit** · 12-28-2003, 01:53 PM

Too mainstream for me...

The Irrefutable Truth About Demons
In the Mouth of Madness (John Carpenter Film)
Brotherhood of the Wolf
13th Floor

The trilogy Blue, White and Red by Krzysztof Kieslowski are some of my favorites that aren't very well known.

**Drake** · 12-28-2003, 02:03 PM

I really like the movie Talk Radio starring Eric Bogosian.

Definately agree with this.

**Sarah_Jayne** · 12-28-2003, 02:22 PM

I just thought of:

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - one from the 70's with Walter Matthau ..good heist movie. I'm suprised it hasn't been remade and destroyed.

**Ludedude** · 12-28-2003, 05:12 PM

FRAILTY -

i cannot tell to many people to go see this movie, i went to see it with a friend in the theaters knowing absolutley nothing about it. it seemed boring then suddenly the entire has a twist that leaves u amazed.

Go pick this movie up its been out on rent for a while, u will not be dissapointed.

**thewebgarage** · 12-28-2003, 05:30 PM

october sky - classic but family film

**Libertine** · 12-28-2003, 05:31 PM

Not many underrated/little-known movies in here...

Brazil would be a good one, although it isn't really little-known either. Frailty, as mentioned above, is fantastic. Boondock Saints is pretty good too.

**Libertine** · 12-28-2003, 05:32 PM

Oh, and ofcourse pretty much anything by Takeshi Kitano

Reqium For A Dream... Not alot of people have seen this from my experience chatting about movies...

I think it was a great movie..

Media

**basschick** · 12-28-2003, 06:11 PM

one of my all time favorites is a documentary called Paris is Burning. it's a movie about black and latin drag queens in new york in the late 80s and includes interviews and all sorts of stuff. beautiful, honest and maybe a little depressing.

also good stuff, not TOO mainstream are:
Ken Russell's Whore
also his Crimes of Passion (with kathleen turner)
Barfly is good
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is kewl, and is a look at the "back side" of hamlet

Clerks isn't exactly out of the mainstream, but it's a great flick. i liked all the other movies with jay and silent bob except for Chasing Amy, which i wish i hadn't seen.

sarah, did you know there are comic books from view askew comics that feature jay and silent bob and include the info that happens between the movies? they're somewhat raunchier than the movies, but ya gotta love 'em.

**Burtman** · 12-28-2003, 06:17 PM

I just watched one called the Prime Gig with Vince Vaughn,
Julia Ormond and Ed Harris. About telemarketing scammers. It was pretty good.

There are two artsey channel on Dtv that have some great unknown movies on them all the time.
