Try and name some movies that you loved that some people may have not seen before.

Here are some of mine:

-The Class of 1984
-Dangerously Close
-Bad Influence
The Lords of Disipline

I suggest :

Nell (with Jodie Foster and Liam Nielson)
Playing by heart

secretary... it was a nice look into what happens when 2 people that think themselves crazy, find out they were made for each other.

The Friday After Next with Ice Cube. Its a really funny movie.

I remembered another one," 3 O'clock High". It great , a nerd stands up to his school bully! Classic high school comedy!

An older film that I consider a great one, but find it's not very well-known is Bad Leiutenant.

A more recent recommendation would be Equilibrium. GREAT movie.

Good movie , I have seen that one! Kind of scares you, knowing is suppose to be "protecting and serving" society.

Minus man (good movie about a serial killer)
Swimming with Sharks (one of Kevin Spacey's best roles)
Dog Soldiers (thanks to my friends here at KMC forums)
Once Were Warriors (great New Zealand Film)
Chopper (Eric Bana film also my Sig)

henry - portrait of a serial killer, sweet hereafter, happiness, falling down, elephant man, return of the living dead.

Acid House..it is a movie based on the book by Irvine Welsh who wrote Trainspotting...really messed up, but great just the same...oh and Trainspotting is a great movie as well..if anyone hasnt seen it

Yeah Senor, I also liked Trainspotting and once were warriors, did you know that the father in that movie(Jake, I think) is the guy who played Jango Fett??

I thought quite a few people would have seen Falling Down, wouldn;t they?

Anyway, I say 'If...'

"IF" what ,Ush?

That is my named movie.

Bytting

"If" is a title to a movie? What is it about?

Debbie does Dallas.

very funny corran! NOT

'If...' is indeed a movie, it was Malcolm MacDowell's first film, based on a play of note called 'Crusaders' and it is a political allegory of revolution set inside a British public school by famed director Lindsay Anderson back in the 60s. It was more relevant then than it is now but it still remains a powerful piece of film.

ive been meaning to check that out, i dont think my store carries it though. crappy damn blockbuster, we have infinite copies of two weeks notice but barely any old movies.

It is also worth checking out the 'sequel' if you want to see Malcolm in a film even more obscure than Clockwork Orange.

well im one of the few people who dont think clockwork orange is very obscure at all. its just the way that the book was.

I have Falling Down...good flick

Gosh, I hope you will think 'O Lucky Man!' is obscure, BF...

well ill try to find it and watch it, but i doubt my store has either of them.

what is "IF" about, give some details. Hey I like a few of your Brit films..

SNatch, Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels, To Sir with Love,Etc.

Errr... the description I gave above should be teaser enough!

No not enough. I live in the states which probably doesnt carry that movie. SO do tell!

Really, "it is a political allegory of revolution set inside a British public school" is all I can usefully tell you. Anything else would either obscure the point or give things away.

Well I probably wont be able to see it , so you are not spoiling anything!

The Lathe of Heaven.

Here's my selection:

For Horror fans try:
Les Yeux Sans Visage by George Franju....maybe old and black & white but truly eerie.
Four Flies on Grey Velvet - Argento's more obscure moment (if that's possible)

For Comedy Fans how aboat Strange Brew - Doug and Bob Mackenzie rule eh!

Amazon Women on the Moon rates in my stupid collection quite highly too.

Shock Treatment - the one and only sequel to Rocky Horror - and it rocks....

Thrillers: Assault on Precinct 13 (of course).... hold on I better stop this will be an essay.....

29th street (Anthony Lapaglia & Danny Aiello)
One flew over the cuckoos nest
Last exit to Brooklyn
Requim for a dream
Romper Stomper

By the way, Omegaman, IF ends with Malcolm McDowell and his friends shooting at the other students from the roof of the public school they are attending.

HOw expensive are they noodles??

Spoilers, people PLEASE! Good Lord!

Is this really the place to advertise blatent copyright infringements and intellectual copyright theft?

lol usually no!

Drama/Action: The Bourne Identity
Comedy: Dumb and Dumber (classic), Bedazzled, Gross Point Blank

Clerks!

and I agree with bigbadbike2 on his choices!!

the new adventures of pippi longstockings, the 1988 american one

rickidog, you are right. assault on pr. 13 was great. try evil dead 2, army of darkness, or i come in peace. boondock saints was also very good. for martial arts fans, try twin warriors (jet li), revenge of the ninja or the hunted.

The Wraith starring Charlie Sheen

Flight Of The Navigator

Summer Holidays starring Cliff Richards

Starchaser The Legend Of Orin

flight of the navigator was good......ummm....serpico, or dog day afternoon...if you like al pacino it's some good earlier work...

but one a lot people haven't seen

"dr. strangelove or how i learned how to stop worrying and love the bomb" it's an early kubrick film with one of my favorite actors of that era, peter sellers....

Anatomy

Delicatessen & The City of Lost Children, by Caro & Jeunet

Glen garry glen ross.

Cast :- alpacino, Spacey, ed harris, alan arkin, alec baldwin, ie monster cast.

This film is pure dialouge and is razor sharp. Highly recommended

moving target...starring Michael Dudikoff..

the movie is not recomended!

ok some good movies r u guys have seen this one i bet American History X, Romper Stomper, if u want to get the chicks a good movie that is decent for guys to watchi s, Two Weeks Notice, Porky's, Donnie Brasco, Lucas was a good movie, and finally Higher Learning.

the movie "Wargames" haha its crazy

My cousin vinnie

Im sure most would have seen it but if not, its good. Joe pesci and marisa tomei go watch is --- Comedy

I suggest 'Donnie Darko'. Absolutely awesome movie.

Also, I agree that 'Equilibrium' was excellent.

MOULIN ROUGE!

Everyone MUST see Amores Perros!!! the most exhilarating movie experience i have ever had! like a latino Pulp Fiction. Great stuff!

Im going to agree with Equilibrium, brilliant, what were they thinking with the marketing of this film?

The Score
Way of the Gun
The Transporter

EVERYONE GO SEE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN... YAY ORLANDO BLOOM

I have anothere one I think it's called Caught in act (I saw it a long time ago). The movie is with Chritopher Reeve(sp) and Micheal Cain. Its a comedie about a theater group.Man I laugh my head off. It's great!

There is a film called "Baraka" everyone should see. It is amazing. There is no actors or dialogue. It is just different scenes from nature and different cultures. It starts with the most peaceful scenes in nature and slowly works its way towards chaos, building up to showing crowded city streets, traffic, slaughterhouses etc... and then slowly goes back to nature and peace. My description doesn't do it any justice, but it is the most powreful film I have ever seen by far. Totally changed the way I looked at society. Do your self a favor and rent this!!!

I always liked "Oliver!". The 60s version out of Britain.

Has anyone seen a cracking little horror/western/serial killer film set in namibia called DUST DEVIL (no, it's not about vacuum cleaners). it was directed by richard stanley who did HARDWARE and was about to do ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOROEAU before val kilmer got him kicked off set.

recommended but deleted - keep an eye on channel 4.

Flesh for Frankenstein
Blood for Dracula
Last House on Dead End Street
Bleeder

'How High'
sooo hysterical!

Jersey Girl. It's a great move for Kevin Smith, who shows critics that he is more than just "pee-pee" and "poo-poo" jokes.

Breaking the waves
Dogville
The Kingdom
DellaMorte DellaMore
Fando & Lis
El Topo
Holy Mountain
Nekromantik
Quiet Day in Clichy

I would definitely say "Touching the Void," the true story f an ill-fated expedition to Siula Grande... best film of the past five years, tons better that LOTR... I would also suggest "Delicatessen,""Nikita," the original Russian "Solaris," "Audition," and "Santa Clause conquers the Martians..." (Honest!!!)

Joy Luck Club
Shall we Dance
Pillow Book <--(this one has some sexual material, but I thought the story was very well thought out)

pi
the warlocks
swingers (but i asume that many people have seen this?)
run lola run

Heavenly Creatures, excellent film by some unknown director name Peter Jackson, now what ever happened to him?

Ned Kelly

Red Dawn

omg if you haven't seen kill bill go and watch that. you also watch internal sunshine of the spotless mine. both very good movies.

Girl, Interrupted

VERY good film, Anjelina Jolie is astounding in it

a walk to remember

Phantom of the Paradise

Yeah isn't that something about transvestite zombies or something?

Hmm....Resevoir Dogs or The Ladykillers, 2 great movies...

The Wave

SLC Punk and Salton Sea...both very entertaining movies.

Batman mask of the phantasm:trust me, u haven't seen batman as long as u haven't seen this movie.
Deep end of the ocean: michelle pfiffer is simply stunninng,excellent acting.

SLC Punk and Red Dawn

EDIT

Punker Do Not quote then EDIT the post at your will!

You all must see Irreversible! Its brilliant!

I would highly recommend Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead hope this hasn't been suggested already, but either way it's a good film, even if you're not into Shakespeare!!

HC.

Kes what if I do it again ?

Kill Bill vol. 1 was way good the best movie of 2003 **** LOTHR kill bill was balls to the walls action and best fight scene ive seen in a while

A temp ban is a possiblity.

why is it always the bann with you people

banned raygun

Do you want me to punk you kes?

I'm not finding this amusing Punker.
Back to topic.

Yes!! Someone actually has heard of this movie. Great film.

Also I would highly recommend my favorite film of all time, River's Edge, though it's not for everyone. It is also Keanu Reeve's first leading role in a film (1987 - the best year ever for films).

geez

to much power for an individual

ok I geuss TITANIC is worth seeing for some of you who havent heard of it.

Heavenly Creatures! Transvestite Zombies!!??!! Not in the version I saw... it was Kate Winslet's first film, and covered a true story... my song, "Plasticine People" was based on it...

No Escape, is a great movie.

Or for some of you that havent heard of it Lord of the Rings:The Return of the King is good

I personally like "The Quiet Man"
I thought it was both funny and entertaining...the Duke rules!

And Spider-Man is could for some of you that havent seen it or heard of it.

High School High

the wave, I doubt it even exists on VHS or DVD if someone has it on either format LET ME KNOW

HIGH SCHOOL HIGH IS AWESOME! : eek :

Falling Down,Run Lola Run,Eraserhead lol, weird movie,American History X.

Star Wars is good also

starwars

Belleville rendez-vous

IDLE HANDS! thats my movie. i would say clerks but i think everyones seen that

I geuss The Passion is worth seeing

Summer School...a great late 80's/early 90's comedy by Carl Reiner... about a bunch of loser kids and their adventures in summer school. features kirsty alley as a random english teacher, and Steven Carrell...aka the guy who played Evan Baxter in Bruce Almighty...Richard Steven Horvitz, who is the voice of Invader ZIM...
definetly something to pick up at the video store

also...The Virgin Suicides...has kirsten dunst in it as a rebellious 14 year old, a very dark comedy about like 7 sisters who have really over protective parents...a film festival movie...

The Royal Tenenbaums...another dark comedy...all star cast featuring Angelica Huston, Danny Glover, Luke and Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Gwenyth Paltrow, Gene Hackman, Bill Murray, and Alec Baldwin as the narrator

never heard of it

The Ghost Of Mr Chicken with Dont Knots is really funny .

"Badlands" 1973 movie with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek.

Oops the original title is Les triplettes de Belleville.

Trainspotting was pretty good. But, for a great, GREAT drug movie....
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
This film gives great insight into the horrors of heroin and the like. It's very graphic, but well worth it.

Also, Swingers.



I also liked Idle Hands.

I don't know...Most people seemed to have jumped on the bandwagon after "Mallrats." So, see any Kevin Smith movie, because they are all greatt. Jersey Girl included.



This movie sucked, I'm afraid. I got it, but I hated it. Sofia Copolla should just keep the family name and not make movies.



No...No it's not.

..and for an EXCELLENT drug movie, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I don't know what rock you're living under if you haven't already seen it.

I wouldn't advise renting any Kevin Smith movie aside from "Mallrats". They are all the same, dick and fart jokes, monotony galore, and he is sorely, sorely overrated, IMO.

"Passion of the Christ" is only for those who want to learn about Jesus's suffering, Christian or not.

Finally, as for my suggestion.

If you like movies such as "American History X", or "Romper Stomper", I''d reccomend "The Believer", with (a very convincing) Ryan Gossling.

It's a story about young Jewish male who leads his life as a Neo Nazi skin. He lives the Nazi lifetyle, but at the same time is conflicted with his true heritage and cannot decide which one he truely believes in until the very end.

It's very believable, very strong and poignant, and one of the better indie fims to come along in the past couple of years.

I like Pi
Is about a man called Max Cohen. Max Cohen was obsessed with finding the number that was the answer to the universe in Pi. Is from 1998 and the director is Darren Aronofsky

I laughed my ass off with requiem for a dream

Pi and RfaD are great movies

Are you SERIOUS!? Kevin Smith is not just dick and fart jokes, and I really don't know how you came to that conclusion. While he may pride himself as being the self-proclaimed "King of Dick and Fart Jokes," that doesn't necessarily mean that's all he knows how to do. Clerks wasn't just dick and fart jokes, Mallrats pretty much was, Chasing Amy sure as hell wasn't, same with Dogma, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back definitely was. Jersey Girl also wasn't just dick and fart jokes. Kevin Smith is a genius, and I would think that somebody with the name "cinemaddiction" would be able to appreciate that.

"Fear and Loathing" was awesome.

Fire>What was there to laugh at in "Requiem for a Dream?"

The word "genius" is way, way overused on this. Kevin Smith is nothing more than a fanboy who makes big budget home movies.

With a name like "Cinemaddiction", I can appreciate the works of real directors, not hacks like Kevin Smith or Quentin Tarrentino.

Love me, hate, but that's my opinion.

Leon rules man

Whatever. You're opinion doesn't matter to those of us who love Kevin and Quentin for the GREAT directors and writers that they are.

donnie darko, the professional

For me, I'd suggest the following to anyone who hasn't seen them:
Boondock Saints
American History X
The Salton Sea
Interstate 60
2 Days In the Valley
Snatch
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Frailty

Snatch was awesome'

Donnie Darko was weird, even though I got it

That's absolutely right, and fine with me. It's just a shame that people are too far in denial to see that Quentin Tarrentino has yet to put together a movie that isn't a direct ripoff of someone elses work, all the way through "Kill Bill".

They are both overrated.

Dunno if this was mentioned, but I thought Sean Astin's Harrison Bergeron was interesting. I wrote a review for it in the Movie Reviews section.

Cool Runnings
Fast times at Ridgemont High
Romy and Michelles Highschool Reunion
The Apartment

I'll recommend:

Cider House Rules - Tobey Maguire, Keiran Culkin,Michael Cane. Great Film!

Igby Goes Down - Keiran Culkin again, Jeff Goldbloom, Ryan Philippe, Claire Danes.

Oh what the heck..browse through my list of fave films in my profile and check out any that u haven't already!!

Piggle
x x x x

Those are 2 movies that I really want to see

Hey, whatever you say. I haven't seen Kill Bill becuase those movies don't interest me, but I have yet to read one thing that backs up your opinion. But that doesn't matter. There's no changing somebody's opinion.

Ocean's 11 was a great movie. Have you seen the original? It sucked. The re-make was so much better, but I'm not so sure about this Ocean's 12 crap.

I would like to see Kill Bill, thanks for the heads up!

AS for Ocean's eleven, I have tried several times to watch it, NOT interesting to me, really boring!

I didnt like it either (Ocean's eleven). I thought I was the only one shock

Ocean's 11 was very well thought out. I guess you just have to like heaist movies. There is no denying the superb acting involved.

Care to tell me how I'm in denial? How are they rip-offs? Have you consider that maybe QT includes homages to other films that have inspired him?

I like heist movies, I didnt like this one. The cast is very good but the director (that I dont like) doesnt take advantage of that. Its boring and then predictable. IMO of course

I've considered them as homages about as many times as QT fans have considered that he may not be as original as once concieved, which is about never.

I've had this same discussion with both Foxota, who never bothered to dispute my findings, as well as Evil Dead, who in one way or another met me halfway.



It's right there in black and white.

As for "Ocean's Eleven", I'm not too fond of the original, either.

I think the 2001 version is hip, smart, funny, clever, and alot of fun to watch. I don't know how anyone could find it "boring". It;s not an action movie, just a caper, the likes of which I am a big fan of.

If you liked that, I recommend stuff like "The Score", "The Heist", "Welcome to Collinwood", "Gone in 60 Seconds", and of course, "Snatch".

Not going to recommend "Lock, Stock" because I didn't find it that amusing, although it had an awesome Guy Ritchie cast.

It was boring to me. I'm not an action junkie. I just didnt like it *shrugs*
Maybe my "hatred" for Sodenberg (sp) and Roberts clowds my judgement.
Loooooove Gone in 60 seconds. It takes a while to get started but as soon as they start stealing WOW joy ride

1. boondock saints
2. escape from new york
3. the hunted (christopher lambert and john lone)
4. porkys
5. hollywood knights

..and it doesn't hurt, having the hottest tomboy in cinematic history in Sway, in the movie as well.

She but her role is small. It doesnt hurt that I love cars either

What you doing here is generalizing the considerations of people that enjoyed (or fans) QT films. There is a thin line in between Copycat and Reference is made. Most ppl that enjoyed QT films, are fans of different genres, and they are finally coming together. As an example: Kill Bill! look at the elements present in the film. Check this out:

http://tarantino.webds.de/tarantino/movie/killbill/articles/references-guide.htm



QT is well known to have watch countless of stocks films from different genres. Is possible that "similarities" do occur. The question is "authenticity" which is where the starting point begins. Rip-offs? If his movies were consider sucha thing. He would be held accountable for serious things like lawsuits by the originial creators of the other films. Tradmarks, Copyrights, patents, whatever you want to call it. QT isn't held liable for that.

Do you consider QT guilty of Plagiarism? Depends on how you look at it. Some of us see it as influenced.

Considering that Ocean's 11 is a remake I hope it was well thought out!!

For Heist movies I say...

-Ronnin
-Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
-Resevior DOgs
-Heat

I've seen The Heist, the Score, Gone in 60 Seconds and Snatch. Snatch is definitely the best one of the group. I also like The Italian Job, but it wasn't anywhere as good as Ocean's 11.

oceans 11 put me to sleep....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ok...ppl lets go back to suggesting movies.
WD> I suggest most spanish, french and italian movies since you like QT so much. All those innovative things you see...they've been doing it for a long time. Probably less blood thou (in a few cases).

Alrighty, 2 foreign movie recommendations just for fun:

The Devil's Backbone (Mexico)
Double Vision (Japan)

taking lives, the hot chick, cabin fever, and wrong turn

Just a suggestion from a 'newbie'.....

How about checking the thread title? Suggest titles that people might NOT have seen. To me that suggests non-mainstream movies. No offense to anyone that listed the following, but these are movies that were pretty big hits in the theater (so they really probably don't belong in this sort of thread):


Friday After Next
Dumb and Dumber
Moulin Rouge
Ocean's 11
Pirates of the Caribbean
Titanic (highest box office rake in history? That doesn't suggest 'little known" to me)
Lord of the Rings (c'mon people)


Just mentioning a few. Maybe I'm out of line and if so, I respectfully apologize. (*sigh*)

Haven't seen all of Friday After Next, but I likes Next Friday. Dumb and Dumber is a classic. I didn't like Moulin Rouge. Ocean's 11 is great, but we've been talking about that. PotC was great. Titanic was horribly done and is a horrible excuse for a film. And I don't like Lord of the Rings.

Jeff.. FYI: I was pointing out movies that are extremely mainstream, which have been pointed out by others in this thread, which I don't think was the original intent, thus the title: "name a movie you would 'suggest', that others might have not seen", rather than what some people are replying to as more like "name a blockbuster you've seen and liked".

*sigh*

Instead of pointing out blockbuster that ppl suggested (yes that is not what this thread is about) why dont you suggest a few non-mainstream movies mate?!

I did, but I'll do it again:

Boondock Saints
American History X
The Salton Sea
Interstate 60
2 Days In the Valley
Snatch
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Frailty


Now none of those are completely obscure, but they definitely weren't blockbusters and I doubt that the majority of the movie-watching community have even heard of them.
