Damn Mongolians!!

Obviously you haven't seen very many movies then. :winkwink:

I put a warning by it, I know most people don't like it. :upsidedow

I second Mongol and would like to add "Everything Is Illuminated" and "Pi" to the list.

for nonstop lolz do yourself a favor and find the canadian masterpiece FUBAR...terry and dean are my heros! :thumbsup

Its All Gone Pete Tong
Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down

In My Father's Den

Heh saw this on the weekend, probably the only one mentioned so far I'd consider something most people haven't seen.. Maybe I'm just making assumptions on NZ films though heh.

People should have already seen the good stuff here like The Croupier, Chopper, Once Were Warriors, Pi, Downfall, Gangster #1, Amelie... c'mon what are you up to - going outside and stuff?

Cute another "Titanic sucks" wanna-be

Titanic was a fucking masterpiece then.. but somehow it got smart to flame it for no good reason at all...

This thread is about movies most people have not seen... Titanic is the #1 best selling movie ever.

The Island was pretty good

I'll throw in "Three O'Clock High", it's an older movie from 87, but it's a great flick. Here's the trailer

Strange Days and Thanks for Smoking are two great mentions. Great movies


My list off the top of my head:

Yeah i've definately skipped over this one. In fact I kinda think I may have thought it was Christina Ricci on the dvd cover from memory...

I forgot to add Thanks for Smoking was great too. Perfume was a happy random choice (i've taken to chosing a section and random and getting out half a dozen videos that don't look like total obvious crap so 6-7 movies that started with "p" and the good ones were Perfume and The Piano).

Actually, in the "looked crap but weren't so bad" stakes Steven Zahn's turn in Employee Of The Month was pretty cool.. (obviously i'm not talking about the shit-tastic Dane Cook one.)

Had one of the best "bad guy payback" scenes ever in a movie. You know the one I'm talking about, which involves some snorting.

Don't listen to that hyperbole. It's an amazing and different movie, and if you like the director's other films(Run Lola Run, Princess and the Warrior), then you should like Perfume.

yeah, that was the irony of the joke.

Jean de Florettes and Mannon de Source are good French films. Beautifully shot and great scores, but slow and provaocative films.

La Haine and the Three Colours trilogy (Red, White and Blue) are some more good French films I have seen recently.

Near Dark is a cool Vampire film from 1987 not a lot of people have seen.

Perfume is a fucking good one!!

Friends With Money
Harsh Times
Digging to China

I love guy ritchie movies. good flick for sure.

I LVOED september tapes, but mainly cause i thought it was real till halfway through the movie :(

Cess,

I started this thread.. I say Smiley Face is fucking awful and I dare anyone to watch it and tell me different.

No amount of pot or painkillers in the world could make that movie watchable, sorry.

The only reason I mentioned Freddy Got Fingered was that it was on your list also, so if you thought that was a good one (warning or not) and you suggest Smiley Face on that same list.. you fail.

But other than that,

some seriously great responses here people :)

Yes I know most of us should have already seen chopper, pi, sleep when i'm dead, croupier, etc.. but the sad fact is a lot of people haven't and they aren't exactly mainstream.

It's kind of like Requiem For A Dream, some people have seen it and some haven't.

Here is another obscure movie to check out:

NAKED LUNCH

Your Friends & Neighbors,

and here is probably one of my best suggestions yet:

The Young Poisoner's Handbook.

Snatch
Bloodsucking Freaks
Maniac (1980)
Oldboy
Big Trouble in Little China
The Gate
Terror Train

I just went through this entire thread, and only have a handful of movies to check out most of them foreign.

What are some good foreign epics.. those french ones that got mentioned?

I really like period pieces, any suggestions?

Another suggestion from me: FOLLOWING

Romeo is Bleeding is good too.

coool...

Un long dimanche de fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement)

Thanks friendo, downloading this now :)

I like nothing more than to put in a nice beautiful period piece, pack a bowl of fire nugs, pop and lt, and get lost for a while... especially during times like this.

Looks like this movie will do the job.

By the way, another good epic is "The Ogre" or Der Unhold with John Malchovich.

Never heard of any of those

Repo Man
The Drugstore Cowboy
Hardware

Everythings Gone Green

Strange days was the first thing that popped into my head, super good movie :thumbsup

Le pact De Loupes (Brotherhood of the Wolf)

Even though it's already been mentioned, I'd have to recommend Downfall.

JFK by Oliver Stone.
Bobby by Emilio Estevez.
Anything directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, Delicatessen, City of Lost Children)
The Proposition (Australian "western" written and directed by Nick Cave)
The Killing Fields (if you have any interest in the Khmer Rouge)
Any movie by Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest)
War Inc.
Tsotsi
The Italian Job (the original, with Michael Caine)
Alfie (the original, also with Michael Caine)
Sukiyaki Western Django (needs to be seen to be believed. haha)
Slacker
Altered States
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz
Pan's Labyrinth
I Heart Huckabees
Stranger Than Fiction
Black Sheep (hilarious New Zealand comedy-horror movie revolving around genetically modified sheep gone wrong)
Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina (for the slickest CGI anime you'll ever see)
Series 7 (when reality TV goes extreme. a disturbing parody of the world's love affair of reality tv)
Candy (very moving movie with Heath Ledger)
The Wind That Shakes The Barley (no movie shows more emotionally how the peace treaty between the british and irish and the civil war that followed tore apart families)

Add that to the list of Jean-Pierre Jeunet movies above. ;)

Infernal Affairs (the asian film that The Departed was based on. much better if you ask me)

PoolHall Junkies awesome movie if you like playing pool. :winkwink:

Rescue Dawn
3:10 to Yuma (2007)
The Orphanage (Spanish)
The Machinist
Layer Cake
Sling Blade

I was thinking of mentioning that but I thought given it has Will Ferrell in it people that normally wouldn't be into something this literate would have been at least tricked into it.
If you haven't seen it, please do.

Also, I tried to watch Candy but the DVD was fucked.. I'm getting that more and more, having the DVD freeze all over the shop and making the movie unwatchable.

Hell yeah. And throw in The Hustler with Paul Newman!

Old Boy rocked, if you can sit through subtitles.

I can't find a decent torrent for the movie "A Very Long Engagement".. Any ideas?

Also I am going to download Brotherhood of the Wolf for sure, thanks :)

Was the ending worse than Signs? (or any other M. Knight Shamalalalalalalan movie except Sixth Sense)

Ever see Barry Lyndon?

I hope you like it, it sounds like what you're after heheh. I haven't seen The Ogre.. i'll check it out.. Hard to go past Malkovich heh, I only got around to watching Dangerous Liaisons last year, man that was a mistake leaving that so long... same with The Killing Fields mentioned by Chodadog..

off the top of my head..

12 angry men
lone wolf and cub + sequels
La femme nikita (french version)
citizen kane

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beast_of_War

The Beast- 1988

Video store? :)

I don't really download movies. I've only done a couple. Oh actually out of the two i've downloaded here's one you might have missed: Science des rêves, La (The Science of Sleep) it's from Michel Gondry ie Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. It's not the best movie ever, but it's a charming little gem if you're into that kind of thing (weird left of center movies).

Brotherhood of the Wolf is ok.

I've never found anyone else who has heard of this movie. :thumbsup

I bought it off Amazon two months ago just so my friends could watch it.
