Question for cinema lovers
 
Where do you dig for good/obscure movies ?
Can you recommend some sites that talk/review about this type of movies made worldwide ?
I'm not talking about hollywood bollox.
I'm finding myself spending several hours per week just going from site to site and reading
countless reviews and recommendations just to come up with a few flix worth watching.

Here's the list I gathered for this week if anyone is interested:
Testosteroni http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0463379/
Secretary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274812/
Factotum http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417658/
Malena http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213847/
Absurdistan http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1027658/
Malta con huevo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810082/

I'm boring, I like Hollywood bullocks. :-)

Rule of thumb - never watch movies you can't pronounce the title of.

u should get into exploitation films, once you get a taste of several of them you never go back!

cannibal, horror, splatter, sex exploitation, black exploitation, zombies, euro trash, it doesn't get any less Hollywood than that. :pimp

Its not only the image that counts.

Bad thumbs then because most of the films I would consider to be the best I have seen are world cinema films and no where near English titles.

I know it sounds base but I get a lot of my recommendations from the trailers on the DVDs before the world cinema films I rent. A lot of those films are on the same international distribution company books and so they cross promote them on the DVDs.

Sunshine
Ellie Parker
Alpha Dog
This is England
The Cruise
Eagle vs Shark
The Orphanage
Once
Rocket Science

Go to IMDB & click on 'IMDB bottom 100' list.

Protip: there are no good & obscure movies. If the movie is obscure is because it sucks and never got popular.

:winkwink:

Or didn't get proper distribution or a decent advertising budget or it comes from a country with a language different from your own. In other words - not true.

I'm digging the azn horror/action flicks lately. Pretty much anything by Takashi Miike is kicking ass...
