underrated or little-known movies
Some off the top of my head that are worth checking out:
Frequency - Saw it on a plane a couple years ago and was suprised that is was good. Dennis Quaid in a sort of time travel thing but it works. Strange Days - Much underrated sci/fi thriller with Ralph Finnes Twin Falls Idaho - Strange, David Lynch style movie about conjoined twins that go to Twin Falls Idaho in hunt of their birth mother. 84 Charing Cross Road - old, very gentle but good film with Anthony Hopkins and Ann Banhahahahaha. Anyone have some to add? |
Donnie darko is pretty good.
Momento rocks too. |
I keep trying to see Donnie Darko but always miss it. Memento is a fantastic film.
|
Memento is great, but its not little-known lol
|
Anna And The King with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun Fat.
Caligula is a good one if you're into strange, sexual, dark, etc. |
Glengarry Glen Ross
great actors in that movie |
Strange Days and Frequency are two movies I loved too, way too
underrated. |

You fairy. :glugglug |
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... |
Strange Days definitely was underrated.
Resident Evil didn't get the accolades it deserved either. The Cube was also a great movie. |
Donnie Darko was an awesome film!!! spot on :thumbsup :thumbsup
|
Aswang, a horror movie from 1994. I had never heard of it until it was released on DVD recently.
|
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 |
"Something Special"
~1987, about a young girl who grows a penis. |
House Of Games http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093223/
|
Too mainstream for me...
The Irrefutable Truth About Demons In the Mouth of Madness (John Carpenter Film) Brotherhood of the Wolf 13th Floor |

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. |

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. |

Equillibrium!!!
|
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 |
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. |
